    Way to go everyone! There's some serious butt is being kicked here!!!!

    I just finished level 2 day 3 and I gotta say that I am really loving this workout! I think it's because I'm feeler stronger and am now doing some of the unmodified versions - yay! In level 1 I was only able to do the modified versions, for all the moves.

    It was so hard to find the motivation to do my workout tonight. I laid in my warm bed for an hour, dreading taking off my sweater and putting on a sports bra and t-shirt "for Jillian." I eventually had to call my boyfriend so someone would kick my butt into gear. That being said, once I was in the middle of the workout, I could get through it, but with this cold weather, I think it's going to start getting tougher just to find motivation!

    I'm hoping my motivation is there tomorrow, but in case it's not, I'd love some messages with words of encouragement :-D

    I'm the same! I'm almost freezing during the first 3 minutes :D but in the end I'm always sweating like hell, even my hair is wet!

    campb2ti, I've also really noticed my motivation slipping this week :'(

    I still want to be active and eat well, but I'm starting to dread doing 30 DS. Like yesterday, I did another workout video first (just a Leslie Sansone walking video) just to make sure I had the energy to be out of my bed before doing my "real" workout. I'm at the halfway point now, so I know I can finish it, but it's tougher than I expected to do the same workout every day. After this challenge, I'm going to have to go back to having some variety, no matter what results I achieve. Although I am still curious about my results and made the commitment, so I will see it through to the end!

    Hang in there! We can do it today!!

    I love walk away the pounds! I find myself wanting to do a 3 or 4 mile walk instead of the 30ds but i want to be able to say that i have completed the challenge. today was day3 level 2 today and after the 2nd ab workout i did not want to get off the floor!

    That's exactly what I'm thinking now, too. "I want to be able to say that I have completed the challenge!"

    I'm actually doing 2 challenges on MFP now: the 30 Day Shred, and the November Walk Challenge in a Leslie/WATP group. (I pledged to do 50 miles this month.)

    I did level 2 day 9 day before yesterday and today did day 10 but I think I'm going to do it extra days because I'm struggling with all the jumping I need to get stronger before I tackle level 3 I watched it and think it may kill me, ugh

    Just go for it, mlittleplume! I know I got bored doing the same workout each day near the end of Level 1, so if nothing else, at least it will add a little variety :)

    It's definitely a step up, especially the strength sections and all the planks, but the fact that it's still less than a 30-minute workout is what's been getting me through it. (Or it was until I got sidetracked since I'm sick... but I'm getting back to it tonight and aiming to finish Level 2 this week- that means every day!) I'm here to hold you accountable!

    Day 3 Level 2...It gets a bit more tolerable AFTER a few days. :indifferent: lol
    Only thing is those military curls and lifts are killing me!! I think its cause of the 5lb weights maybe????
    All I know is the results are worth it. I work up a major sweat every time.

    Loving the video!! :):)
