    Day 18 - almost got through it all without taking any rests, but dang!, those plank poses annihilate my wimpy arms! Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my "get through level 2 without breaking" day. :) Hopefully.

    SHREDDERS: I am OK but I just got home and I'm sick. I inadvertently ingested drugs at a Pride party (mark your cups!) I missed day 9 and day 10 is looking doubtful. Of course I'm upset but I am grateful to be getting better because it was really scary there for a bit. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

    I'm buying weights tonight and starting tomorrow.

    Question: What exactly makes the 30DS so effective? It's just 20 minutes of exercise and based on her calculations I will only burn about 200 calories doing it. Of course I plan to supplement that and jog in the evening 5 days a week.

    Well I'm optimistic anyway since it appears to have worked for everyone else.

    Honestly, I'm not sure what makes it so effective but I noticed a difference within the first week when I did it last, and I wasn't even really diligently watching my nutrition.

    Day 10 progress

    Here are my stats Day 0 Vs Day 10 .. not bad for 10 days I suppose, although I was hoping for a little more.

    Day 0: Day 10 stats

    Weight: 61kg : 61kgs = no change
    Left bicep: 29.5cm : 29cm = 0.5cm loss
    Right bicep: 29cm : 29cm = no change
    Chest: 89cm : 87cm = 2cm loss
    Waist: 78cm : 78cm = no change
    Hips: 104 : 103cm = 1cm loss
    Left thigh: 60: 58cm = 2cm loss
    Right thigh: 61: 60 = 1cm loss

    I agree...the 1st circuit is the worst! But I know if I just push through it, it is all downhill after that. And I have never been so happy to do ab work :D

    Day 8 of Level 1 tonight. Even though I am alternating days with c25k instead of doing it every day - I still feel like I am about ready to move to Level 2. However I do think I should up my weights from 3 to 5 lbs, at least for some of the things. But at this point I think I am just going to wait and see what level 2 brings.

    (Quoting myself above)

    I got my first - "You look skinny today" complement! So I guess 30ds + c25k + MFP calorie logging is working. WooHoo!

    Hope you are feeling better soon. I totally used your situation to motivate myself thismorning. I had been looking for excuses not to do day 7. I missed a day yesterday feeling sorry for myself, and your situation reminded me. I should. Frankly. Because I can. My body is capable. A blessing I should not take for granted.
    I hope you dont mind :P
    .. oh and day 7..still hating the skipping. but can do the full sets of girl pushups now. Tomorrow. I will try to do a real one. mwahahahahaha. oh its going to hurt.

    Day 10 completed! So far no skip days. Today was really hard though. I took my lsat today which is a 5 hr test of mental anguish, but I figured my mind not my body is what went through the torture. I'm excited and so so afraid of level 2.

    I did level 2 today and maybe I'm crazy but I found some things easier with my bad knee. She does walking pushups which aren't as hard as doing 10 or 12 in a row of regular ones and for my knees, static lunges, standing still feel so much better than going in and out of the movement. Well, not everything was like that, somethings I modified, walking lunges I skipped, but I wonder if anyone else feels that way when they get there.
    The planks are always hard for me and the one for the stomach, my leg just doesn't go under me the way theirs do...a work in motion. : )

    I'm sort of behind the times, but I just finished Day 2 of Level 1. I did not hurt at all yesterday, but today I'm so sore! I thought I was in decent shape, but now I know better. I have exercise asthma and I have to use my rescue inhaler every single time I do this video.

    L1D5 done.

    IShallnotwant - yay for getting back on track here too! I started last week and was sick so I rested for the weekend and am back on it today. Ready to get this thing done already!!! :)

    VegKate, keep it up! The pain will magically disappear like Day 4 or 5. My first round of 30DS I was in so much pain I could barely walk like days 2-4. I kept doing it though, and woke up (I think Day 5) and the pain was completely gone. I didn't have any problems after that (just soreness in my shoulders in Level 2).

    Just finished Day 2, Level 2 for me and I'm still dying. I'm breathing so hard after doing it....and really struggling to get through...but boy can I tell my body is working! It kinda motivates me to want to get up and do it again tomorrow because now I want to BEAT THE LEVEL! lol

    Did measurements today as well as is the end of week 2/start of week 3 for me.

    Lost so far: 2 lbs, 2 inches off my hips, 1 inch off my waist, 1.25 x 2 inches off my legs. Nothing lost off my arms but the width thats there is a lot tighter and more muscular instead of just flabby, so I'll take it!

    Feeling good....keep at it Shredders!

    Finished L1D9 this morning. I will go to the gym as well this afternoon because it seems to loosen me up for my morning JM's workout. Tomorrow I may skip the gym in the afternoon and start on L2D1 since I will finish Level 1 tomorrow. May just kill me though. Congrats all the shredders who have made it this far!!

    Put down a couple of beach towels? But honestly, mats are about a tenner, I'd just go invest in one!

    I tried 30 ds today but couldn't make it all the way thru. I'm still trying to quit smoking so I think that is a big obstacle right now for me!

    I'm going to start it TODAY. I completed day 1 a couple of weeks ago and truly struggled, but hoping some accountability will help in this forum. I've had knee surgery, hip replacements, and my spine is fused from scoliosis. I would love any suggestions on the jumping jacks (since jumping up and down like such tends to be "heavy" on my back). Perhaps running in place instead?
