    Im excited that as of 2 days ago I can do the plank jacks without modifying. Never thought it was possible! I still modify the other move where you bring your legs up while doing a plank.

    Wow day 18 done!!

    When this DVD is done I was originally thinking of doing Ripped in November but I'm now thinking of doing 30DS again. Starting at level one and going all the way through with no modification and maybe bigger hand weights. Sort of conquering the challenge you could say. Not too sure yet, guess I'll decided after level 3.

    Keep working strong ladies.

    I kept putting day 18 off and ended up not doing it. I'm super disappointed in myself - was hoping to do the 30 days straight. Oh well - looking forward now my goal is to do the last 12 days without a break. I have a really big day on Saturday but I'm just going to have to make the time. Great work to all you girls!

    That's not a bad idea, I might join you on that one! It would definitely still be a challenge if we upped the weights.

    That would be fantastic, Jess. I love the motivation of have exercising buddies. Maybe we could get a few more to joint.

    Completed day 18 yesterday afternoon. Just forgot to come on here and post. I am pumped to move onto level three on Sunday. I like it better than level two, if I remember correctly.

    Day 18 done! I notice on days I do the elliptical in the fitness center at my work and then come home and do Jillian, my hrm says I burned 20-40 more cals than on days I just do the dvd. I like to think of it as getting more for the low price of 24 min.

    Just did Day 8, Level 2 yesterday afternoon. I had four days with no exercise at all because I got sick. It was NOT easy getting back into the groove. I found it funny that I didn't really have any problem with planks but endurance was the issue. I just plain got tired. Made it through though. I would like to try finishing level 2 trying not to modify two of the plank exercises. We'll see. I am modifying the walking pushups--I simply cannot do regular push ups yet. I have been dropping to my knees and doing a modified pushup then walking it back up.

    I know I am behind most others in this group but am just going to finish up at my own pace.

    We are all going at our own pace and I think it is fantastic! In the past if I missed a day I would feel "well, that's it" but I can see we are all welcome to jump right back in. I get amazed when I hear of women who can double up and do two workouts in one day! Right now 20 minutes of Jillian takes everything I've got! We will keep on going!
