    I am probably starting this late but I came across the thread and I am right on track with 30DS. I did take today off because on top of starting level 3 yesterday I walked about 14 miles. Which was not my intention and was spread out throughout the day. I just like seeing I'm not alone in this ridiculous workout. Ridiculous because I never would have thought my body could do these moves. I plan on being done on the 26th.

    Hi all

    Back on track this weekend and where I should be in the shred. I only have 2 events during the week this week so going to make it my mission to stay within my calories. I am going to have to get up early Tuesday to squeeze in JM

    We are on the final straight! Keep up the good work

    Happy shredding!

    Ugh... my low back decided to start acting up this weekend. I was able to do L3 both Sat and Sun but I had to modify a lot today. No jumping at all and the supermans were totally out. Only burned 155 calories (been averaging 215 - 215) but that is 155 calories more than if I did nothing. So L3D4 sort of done. :ohwell:

    weigh in 178.0:happy: no change from last week. Still doing the 30 shred.
  • I am doing 30DS alongside you all as well. I have 2 days left of Level 2 because I missed a few days due to Finals week at school. So far I have lost 8lbs, but none in the last week. But I am loosing about an inch off my waist a week, so that is 3 total in the last 3 weeks since I started. Also, I am burning over 400 calories when I do my Shred according to my calorie/heart rate monitor. My heart rate gets into the 170's towards the end of the workout. I talked to a fitness trainer and he said it was alright if I feel okay. I don't know if the high heart rate is causing my calorie burn to shoot up, but I am not complaining!! Anyone else notice this who uses a monitor? I was logging it a lot lower till I got the watch.

    Sorry I took the weekend off due to out of towners visiting... :( but back on it I go. I know I'm a bit behind but I keep in the back of my head at least I'm doing something 5/7 days of the week

    Day8 Level2 My weigh in for Sunday morning was 195. I think that is a loss... :)

    I just got a HRM but I'm still trying to figure out how to get/ view my calories burned - I have the Polar FT1 do you have the same Either way in box me maybe we can piece it all together and make it all work out! Happy shredding!

    Has to withdraw from the 30DS challenge....I fell down the stairs and have damaged the soft tissue in my foot. I can barely walk let alone do a jumping lunge. I am absolutely gutted. I need to find something I can do for exercise but everything seems painful

    Good luck to all of you. I know you can do it! I shall be restarting in Jan

    All may not be lost! I should be back up by Friday but I just did L3 with punches for the cardio, did the pushups and planks on my knees and then the ab section

    Will be a bit behind. But am still here. With Christmas shopping for 5 kids and redoing our roof. I haven't been doing the shred like I'd hoped. On a good note. I'm still losing weight. Current weight 147lbs.
    Your guys are doing AWESOME. You all are such an inspiration to the slacker here.:blushing:

    Finally! I thought I was the only one that thinks level 3 is really hard! It seems like everyone says it's easier than level 2 and that it's fun. Not me! I've been struggling through level 3 and I only have one more day to do, but it's been a battle every single day. I have to do the modified moves a lot more than I want to. I've just pushed myself to do a few more the hard way each day before I switch to the modified.

    Push yourself and hang in there, you're so close to finishing!

    Day 7 Level 2 done! Just keep going, just keep going. I will finish the 30 day shred. Just NOT in 30 days. :sad:
    Way to go the rest of you ladies. Woohoo!!

    L3D9 complete! One more workout, which will probably be either tomorrow night or Monday morning. I am spending the night at my mom's and will not be taking my weights and DVD with me. Saturday is my regular check in day so I am checking in now. I am down to 209.2. I started the 30DS at 217.8 so I lost a total of 8.6 lbs! :bigsmile: :love: :bigsmile:

    Next on the list is to start P90X. Still trying to decide if I am going to start it some time this week or wait until January 1.
