    OK, I did it. Largely because I need to keep up with you guys so I'm glad I joined the challenge (I think). Level 2 day 2 complete! Everything hurts!

    Took a break yesterday as my calves were in agony (too much jumping around doing aerobics the day before). Today, 3rd day of level 3, not pushing too hard, pretty sure I'm enjoying it. Went and did Tae Kwondo after. This time four months ago I never would have believed I might like doing cardio and strength so much.

    *remembers level 2* yes, level 2 is where I started yelling at the screen. It gets better I promise (although right through to the very end I still didn't do all of the plank cardio, faaaaark!)

    Those of you taking on multiple days worth, I salute you. Just don't forget to stretch.

    I found everyone!!! So I'm a couple days behind due to a little one being sick, but I'm back at it!! Today I'll do L1D9 and continue to progress from there. I think I'll double up tomorrow because I have Zumba tonight. Hope everyone is well :)

    First day of level 2 just completed. I HATE all the plank stuff - my wrists do anyway! This level makes me red and sweaty way more than level 1!! I would say don't try to follow Natalie for the whole thing ;) And what are those plank twists about at the end? No way I can get my body to twist that much!!
    Good luck everyone :)

    ohhhhhhhh here is the group haha :)

    Day 8 for me today!!!!!!!! I always say I might double up to catch up. But I don't think that is realistic. Maybe tomorrow ;)

    great job everyone! Alot of you have lost lots of inches already!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL me too. I always have every intention on catching up but somehow that rarely happens.

    I forgot to tell ya'll my updated stats.
    Lost 2.4 lbs.
    Inches
    Starting Now Down
    Waist: 43 41 -2 inches
    Hips: 51 47.5 -3.5 inches (not sure I measured right)
    Bust: 47 45.5 -1.5 inches (does this seem like too much?)
    Thighs: 26.5 26.5 0
    Arms: 13.5 13.5 0

    Should I have lost 7 inches in the first week?

    You definitely measured your hips wrong. You were one of the few people with hips bigger than mine so yours can't be smaller now. I am totally supportive of you losing weight everywhere else but i gotta draw the line somewhere!

    During level 3 today I was thinking this isn't so bad as the sweat was pouring off me. I think level 3 is harder but during it, it feels better than level 2. I am rotating through levels because I get bored of doing the same one more than 1 day in a row.

    Seriously those last two strength exercises in circuit 3 of level 2 are just killer. "Your shoulders should be BURNING right now"

    Don't worry Jillian. They are.

    YIKES!

    O...........M..............G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I HATE LEVEL 2!!!

    What in the world???!!!

    She's crazy. I'm serious. Someone should really do a background check on Jillian. I just powered out completely. My 13-year-old was just staring at me and my 8-year-old kept saying, "Are you okay?" My 10-year-old was just trying to say "Hi Mommy" and I couldn't even respond.

    I need love.

    D5/L1 complete.

    Got home later than I had expected so I couldn't do it twice tonight. Hopefully tomorrow.

    I HATE level 2 - it's just evil!!! Stupid ruddy planks just kill me. But day 2 of it done. 8 more days of this - how will I survive??!
  • I thought the other thread had gone quiet... here you all are!
    I'm dreading starting level2 now I've heard all your tales.. level 1 is bad enough !!! I was really feeling it in my lower back and knees yesterday so will probly leave todays shred until much, much later. I tore a muscle in my hip/bum last year and dont want to aggravate it more than I should, so am gonna maybe do just a half job today?? will see how I am... maybe I should do 2 x half jobs? LOL
    I'm also losing count of what day Im on... I think I've done L1D7or 8? so I'm gonna carry on doing L1 till Friday and start L2 on Saturday that way I should catch up with meself (and avoid starting L2 a bit longer!!)

    heat and ice this morning methinks! I am NOT giving up!!!

    Hello All

    Just wanted to let you know that Iv'e had to stop the 30 day shred... I had abdominal surgery 4 weeks ago and I really thought I was good to go with this..... but then the nausea started and then the throwing up so unfortunately I have to throw in the towel....

    If it's still ok with you I would like to continue checking in each week and follow the mini challenges.. I'm really disappointed as I was feeling soooooo strong about this. But at least I know what I am in for when I start again on November 1st,

    Congrats on all the hard work you guys are putting in and kick Jillians butt for me!!!

    Level 2 day 3 done. Every time at the beginning Jillian says "all you badasses" and I think for a second she says "all you fatasses" and then think "geez Jillian, who peed in your cheerios this morning?"

    Hey shredders!

    It's day 3 of my neck/shoulder misery and it's finally on the mend! I'm on some strong painkillers and I managed 30 minutes on the cross trainer today, woohoo!! It was a feeble 30 minutes though, I actually felt weak despite only having 2 days off exercise and my HRM says I burned about 60 less calories than usual. But it's a big improvement, so I'm hoping to be back with you soon!

    Sorry to hear you're having to drop out Boncharlie, but you've got to listen to your body. Hope you feel etter soon :smile:
