Ladies,

I've noticed lots of interest with Jillian's 30DS workout. Is anyone interested in a challenge starting on the first? Personally, challenges help keep me motivated and I REALLY need the motivation right now. I plan to measure lbs and inches since, as we all know, the scale doesn't tell the full story.

If you are in, we can post starting on Friday out starting measurements and IF you chose, our current measurements weekly. We can do a final tally on the 31st (rest day) to see how much we have all accomplishment. I'm on board, I hope some of you are as well. If this is already being done elsewhere, please let me know and I will join up there.

Until then...

    Sure I'm in. I'll do the initial weight in and measurements. However, I'll get discouraged if I do weekly measurements. I've already dropped 20 pounds and barely lost 1 inch. Uggh. Please feel free to friend me.

    I previously tried two days of level one and it was murder on my knees. So I switched to level two and didn't experience the discomfort. Hopefully, this time I can do 30 days. I'll start this evening. Good Luck all.

    Please be careful. I've had to do modifications as well, but as long as we are consistent we can do it!

    What's different in level 2? I have a bad knee, so anything that would remove the pressure would be great.

    The knee circles, 3 different types of squats that were followed by side lunges in level 1 did the number on my knees. Besides the knee discomfort, I barely hit 60% of my MaxHR.

    Well done all of you for getting through day 1 yesterday! Sadly got off to a not so great start and didn't start yesterday, but have got back on the wagon and just finished day 1, level 1....and can I just say how out of shape I am?! Ha, guess we've all been there, which makes knowing you all are sticking with motivate me to get up and having Jillian time, too.

    Raesin, you've got me very excited about level 2 now as I've been imagining it must be a bit more brutal than level 1 but that sounds like a nice change up. Must admit I've never made it past day 5 or so in previous attempts, but this time *will* be different! Happy exercising today ladies!

    Did this in February and my last day was this morning!! So glad to see the end of it but I might revisit it in about 3 months. I enjoyed Levels 1 and 3 but Level 2 was the killer!!!!!
    Have fun ladies!!
