    I finished L1D5 today. I don't know if this is normal, but I haven't lost any weight since I started, but I definitely feel my body changing. I'm still very motivated to keep going and my sister in law started doing it everyday too (day 3 for her) so its nice having someone to push me everyday. The soreness is MUCH better today. I'm looking forward to L1D10 so I can measure again and hopefully see some progress!

    It is very normal to not lose and sometimes even gain while doing 30DS. You're building muscle and muscle is heavier than fat; it takes up less space though, so you'll see a change in your measurements by the end no matter what the scale says :)

    L1D6 Finished!!! I think I will do tomorrow and then take 1 Day off.

    It makes me laugh to hear about people's kids and pets because my two dogs are definitely trying to help. They love how the legs alternate on the bicycle crunches.

    Thank you for replying. I was hoping that was it, but my husband seems to think you don't start actually building muscle right away so I was kind of worried. I'll just keep under my calories and stick with it. My clothes feel like they're getting looser so hopefully that's true!

    Your husband could be right, but muscles hold water to repair...so that could be it too?

    I drop the weights too. It is more important to train your body to get through the whole thing. --- If I keep the weights and don't finish the tape I think I am worse off than limiting the resistance and finishing!

    I think we're all doing pretty good! This thing is so difficult!

    Completed L1D5! I love that it's only 30mins....the 1st circuit is still a pain in the but, but I'm feeling some amazing results. I have more energy throughout the day and my legs are getting stronger. I think I'll increase the weights tomorrow.....(not with the side lunges) and do real push up.

    You are all doing great and you push me everyday to do better and for that I would like to say thank you!

    L1D4 complete. I think I need heavier weights, I am using 3's and they are a breeze. I am not sweating as much as I thought I would - time to move on to big girl pushups I 'spose. And no more pausing during buttkicks or jumping rope might help.

    L1D6 done! I can definitely feel an improvement in my stamina! I didn't have to pause at all during the 1st circuit cardio (jumping jacks and jump rope....my nemesis!) and I used 5 lb weights the entire time. I'll be going to the gym tonight for a Zumba-esque (but tougher) class, so let's just hope I don't wear myself out and that I feel as good on day 7!

    Finished L1D6 today. My legs are still sore, but I'm pushing through.... Hoping these muscles start burning some fat so I can smile at the scale again :grumble: . I'm finding it hard not to measure myself early just to see.... Need some sort of motivation...

    L1D5 completed. I too have had to turn down Jillian and turn up the music. I felt like I might be coming down with something this morning, but I was still able to power through and finish my workout. Thank Goodness its less than 30 min. I feel so much better having done it. You only regret the workouts you don't do. Half Way through Level 1! Ready to bring it for the second half:)
