    Im On Day 3 of Level 1 with weights and I am finishing the video. I had to force myself!!!1 The jumprope and butt kicks are a killer... but Im working on it.. Cant wait to see what Level 2 is about.............. HAS ANYONE LOST WEIGHT DOING THIS OR JUST INCHES???????

    Apparently the weight comes off quickly at the 2nd half.

    Ben, still here buddy. Good going on both 30 DS and running :-)

    Thanks! Let's finish this!

    I'm on day 5 and i've already noticed that i'm firmer, especially my legs. Feeling stronger too...but not straight afterwards, then I feel like a puddle!

    Joining in a bit late. I started 30ds on 07/23/12 so tonight will be level 1 day day10. I am really ready for level II.. I run every night before the video. usually 30 to 40 minutes. The first couple days my thighs were killing me, but I am over that. I noticed last night that I was skyrocketing off the ground for the jump ropes and during the buttkicks I was ymca'ing my arms.... I have my ipod blaring over JM because frankly I am tired of hearing her repeat herself..."right buddy" ? LOL!! I took before pics and measurements and promised that I would not step on a scale for the entire 30 days. I just dont want to disappoint myself with any gains, so I am letting my measurements be my guide. I am 5'7 and about 175 lbs. I am aiming to eat about 1700 calories a day. Do you think that is ok with my running and 30ds. I dont go over and I am slightly under that sometimes. I know my metabolism is sooo messed up from bad dieting over the last few years... so I just want to do this right...
    Thanks!

    I didn't start until later and I'm on Level 1 day 9. So excited to be finished with Level 1- it's getting pretty boring, but I'm nervous about Level 2. I'm still sore in my thighs- which I assume means something is happening there. I do notice that I don't have to take hardly any breaks except during push-ups (which I can't do worth anything but am getting better at). I haven't taken any days off because I'm afraid I won't want to start back, and then I'll be sore again as if I'm starting over. Just thought I'd put in an update.

    oh man i started level 2 today...this level is hard! I think Im gonna stick with level 1 until I build up more strength so I can actually do all of the exercises in level 2. As long as im doing some exercise I'm happy, and level 1 gave me a good workout.

    I have a question about the signature banner for how much weight you lost. How do you update it?? I weighed in on my profile and had lost weight but it doesnt show up.

    It's probably a glitch with the website, it should update automatically. Also, you get better results if you mix exercises, so I'd recommend doing 10 on each level.

    Hello. Level 2 day 5. Feeling much better about level 2. Still hate some of the pylo. It is killer on my ankles... I am running half an hour every day in addition to the 30 ds. I took before pics and measured but am avoiding the scale on purpose. I feel stronger, but I don't feel leaner... frustrated!

    L2D4 after work today. Missed a couple of days but staying with it. I just feel better when I do it so it keeps me motivated to continue. Won't get it done in 30 days but should have it done in 40.

    I did 5 days of level 1 (with a couple skip days because I got REAL lazy) but moved on to level 2 because level 1 got boring... LOVE level 2 so far, she kicked my @$$ but she's toast tonight ;-0)

    How heavy of weights do you guys use? Do you increase them as you get more advanced?

    Most people use 3-5 lb. I use 5 and I have 4 days left of level 3... so far those weights are good, but I could use more for some exercises.

    I've tried it once before, and went for about a week, but discontinued! :grumble:
    It's pretty tough but I do think I moved to level 2 too early. Afterwards I learned that you're suppose to move to level 2 on day 10 and level 3 on day 20.
    SO! I do believe that I will try this challenge again.. but when?
    I was in need of a good workout out last night and actually completed a level 1 workout.. it was as tough as I rememer! lol :tongue:
    But I don't think now would be a good time to start since I'm going on vacation on the 1st of September.. maybe when I get back! :happy:

    D3L4 .......I AM going to finish it. I have already purchased Work out w/weights and a 15lb kettlebell. I'm getting serious. Would like to add c25k as well but have a problem when running. Mother nature calls when I'm out running in mother nature. LOL

    Great job 80Ben!

    I would like to try this with all of you. I've never done anything like this, but want to give it a try. Thank you for posting where to find the videos. Much cheaper than having to purchase them.

    I did one my first day of the 30DS and something went wrong with my sports bra because I had this huge strap burn on my shoulder and couldn't wear a bra properly for days but it's healed now so I'm in. :)
