    I did day 2 of level 2 this morning. Oh my lanta its hard. I love it though. Level 1 started out hard for me, but by the end, I was almost bored with it. I could get through the workouts (Watching Natalie) and barely breaking a sweat. But when I did day 1 of level 2 yesterday, I about died. I am hoping it gets easier. I am sure it will, just like level 1 did. Level 2 just has a lot more upper body strength moves, and I REALLY lack upper body strength. I'm going to stick with it though. I might stay on level 2 longer than 10 days, I want to feel comfortable with it before I move on to level 3.

    oh my! now i am scared of level 2! lol i have like no upper body stregnth!!! ahhh!

    I just finished Day 2 of Level 1, and compared to the first time I tried 30DS I don't feel too bad ;) I'm also riding my stationary bike afterwards though and it seems to be making my legs not hurt QUITE as bad (but yes, I still hurt lol)

    Edited to add...I quit 30DS first time through when I sprained my ankle while running and found myself unable to do several of the exercises. No quitting this time, though!

    Your body will retain water to repair your muscles. Unless you ate 7,000 calories over what your body expended, you didn't gain 2 real pounds.

    Take measurements instead of the scale, that will tell you if you are burning fat.

    im trying to figure out how to take mesurments correctly so i take them in the same spot every time... any suggetions?

    I tend to use freckles, dimples, or scars to help me measure the same spot each time--I know it's silly, but at least my measuring tape is in the same spot every time :)

    I just finished Day 2 of Level 1. I love the workout. I was able to do more push ups today than the first. My problem is actually with the jumping jacks and the lateral leg squats. I have bad knees. I can do the first set of jumping jacks and then have to run in place because my knees give out. Also if I go too far into the lateral squat on the left side my knee buckles. It sucks. Anyone else with knee issues?
