    Is anyone else having ankle pain from the 30DS? Cuz I am. It's more soreness, but it's making exercising and even walking more difficult. Annoying :-/
    No, but I feel it on my knees.


    Not in ankles but my knees and calves are super sore.

    Ok, today marked 2 weeks for me and I couldn't wait any longer to do my official measurements. Keep in mind I was bloated and on my period the afternoon I measured. ;-( And now I weigh and measured in the AM for accurate results. I could tell I was tired because when I measured my waist it had grown a couple of inches and I was perplexed because I know I am smaller. I measured 3 times and got the same result, but I wrote the the bigger size and went on. I measured the rest of my body and decided to go back to my waist. Again I got a larger #. Then I looked and I had grabbed the wrong end of the measuring tape. I was measuring from 60" down instead of 1" up. Ha ha. I remeasured and was blown away! I am losing all my belly and back fat! YAY!

    Neck - no change
    arm- up 1/4"
    boobs - down 1/2"
    bra band - down 3/4"
    waist - OMG!!! Down 3 inches!!! Yahoo!
    hips - down 1/2 inch
    thigh - same
    calf - same

    Weight - 127 down 4.5 lbs since starting!

    Happy Dance!

    Today will be day 2 of the level 2 of the 30D Shred. I expect my changes to slow down from here on out. One cuz I am not bloated, but two, I am so close to my goal that it will be harder to lose.

    Great job!! How exciting. Can't wait until I can rejoin. So upset. :sad:

    Feeling awesome after level 2 day 4 I fallowed it up with level one but man I could not to the squat press from level one with the weights because my sholders were SO sore from the chair squat v thing and the military press man L2 cercuit 3 strength is so tough!!!! I skipped yesterday because my husband was finally off work.. first day off since labor day so we spent the evening together but I think doing level 1 on top of today helped get me back in it. Im ready for tomorrow!

    Day 7, level 2 done! It's still kicking my butt, but I can tell my stamina is getting better. Only 3 more days then on to level3. How is level 3 compared to 2?

    I've been out of the game since Saturday!! Sucks! I've never done L3 though. I'm kinda scared.

    D5L2 done yesterday and the v lifts and army moves are still hurting - when she says "You'll start to feel this in your shoulders" all I can think is "Start? I already am!!"
    Does anyone else take time off this during the week or does everyone do it every day?

    Chelsea_M - I have a pilates video that I love by Mari Windsor. Which one did you get?

    Sorry but I am going to be honest. I am starting to feel burned out on these workouts. Maybe it's just temporary. I hope so! I did Level 2 again today but without much enthusiasm.

    Feeling a bit frustrated after reading the posts here... I'm on D5L2 and I don't feel like I'm making much in the way of progress. I still can't really do regular push ups and I feel like I'm going to die by the end... What gives? Did I just start off in worse shape than everyone else so it's taking me longer to get stronger and more fit? UGH! Anyway, I'm sticking with it. Taking today off because I'm not feeling well, but back to it tomorrow!

    Level 2 done! I'm so glad that I don't have to do the chair squats with v raise any more, they killed me every time.

    I keep hearing that level 2 is harder than level 3, I hope that's right...

    I did L2 on Tuesday and Ran yesterday. Trying to do it while sick and not overdoing it for my body. I'm am doing it again tonight. L3 starts tomorrow. I was thinking, if anyone wants to we will extend this challenge for 5 days into November for those (like me) that had sickness or other things come up. Yes??

    Yes! That works for me. I have to have a rest day every 4-5 days. The last time I did the shred I tried to do it straight thru and hurt my back and knee and had to quit mid level 2. Today I completed L2 Day 5 so I'm almost past the hump and feeling good!
