    Started using myfitnesspal again today, used it for like a week or something last year. Today is day 10 of level one for me! I seem to have damaged either my ACL/LCL though which means I should rest but it only really hurts when I do jumping jacks (so I just put more weight onto the opposite leg) And side lunges which I try and push through. I've felt like I'm going to die pretty much all the way through level one bar 1 day where I fooled myself into thinking I was finding it easier. My endurance has got better though, but I'm still finding jump rope a killer!

    Level 1 day 3 (yesterday) and 4 (today) complete. Really wanted to stop at Taco Bell on the way home from work and then come home and crash.... instead I had a nutritious dinner did JM 30DS and took out the trash... now I can crash.

    I'm up to day 7 level 1 and the press ups and arm raises still kill me. Part of me is tempted to try level 2 after 10 days but the other part of me thinks it looks way to scary and I shod keep on level 1 till I master it. Either way - since I've been doing it the weight has just even falling off me. That may be because I've ust got back into Mfp after a month off but I'm inclined to think that 30 day shred has more to do with it.

    Just wanted to motivate those of you who have just started by saying I've finished level 1 today, lost 3lbs and 6 1/2 inches overall! And that's whilst eating not too great. YOU CAN DO IT! :happy:
    Gonna start eating properly as of today, so hopefully my results will be even better next time.

    Level 1 day 5 done! Used weights today so feel it in my arms more. I need to get the nerve up to try proper pushups instead of modified. I'm giving myself a rest day tomorrow and maybe Saturday, as that is my usual pattern. I'm worried I'll have trouble getting back into it on Sunday, though.

    I started on Monday July 29th. The second day I was really sore and wasn't sure I could do the whole thing. Last night not as sore except for my arms, elbow area I had to put the weights down and do it without weights. I am using 10 pound weights I know that is high but it was all I had. My plan is to do 1 week of level one - 2 weeks of level 2 and then 1 week of level 3. I have neve been able to stick with a home work out before. Motivation will be something I will need.

    Day 2 Level 1....sore shoulders I think my weights are too heavy at least for the overhead raises!

    I have been having MAJOR issues with calve cramps; the jumping rope is brutal for me because my calves tend to hurt by then but have very minimal stopping maybe 2 5 second rests on jump rope section.

    I tried to start a week ago but struggled really bad with the cramping. So I waited and continued to do major stretching; holding the stretch longer with few reps as well as adding sitting in the sauna daily for 15 minutes or so with stretching. Additionally I added iron to my calcium/magnesium and potassium supplements per the doctor’s recommendation and seem to be doing better. (I was so bad I couldn't even last 1 minute on the treadmill jogging and yes I drink plenty of water 8 or more per day)

    If my darn calves would stop cramping I think I would be ready for level 2 but for now I will have to stay put.

    ***Those on level 2 how intense are the calve workouts?

    ****What size of weights are you using? I started with 5lbs and think I was a bit optimistic as I struggled to get through the first weight section (overhead presses) followed by the push-ups.

    So I was going to do this every day this week (Weds was day 5 on level one for me), but Thursday I decided to crank up the intensity and do her BFBM instead. I was also going to finish out the week with day 6 of 30DS, but I am SO sore today after that, that I've decided to take a break LOL. Back to it Monday, though, and hopefully I'll be on level 2 by Weds!
