    Scale was down (minimally, but still) this morning. Final results to be posted tomorrow.

    Keep going. If I can make it through, all of you can too!

    Incredible!! I can't wait to be where you are.

    Just did my first day of Level 2. It was rough but I got through the whole video without quitting -- though I did have to take a few breaks, which is something I didn't have to do in Level 1. I'm a little discouraged, but hopeful. But those V-shaped arm things are BRUTAL… eye level? Who is she kidding?!

    I'm also having trouble gripping on the lunge and plank moves. Don't know if my floor is just too slippery or if I need new shoes. I wonder if anyone has a quick fix in the meantime? May try duct tape on the balls of my tennis shoes (old trick from my dancing days…).

    Im doing 30 day shred but have been on it for a little over a month now. I'm going at my own pace because of bad knees and don't want to injure myself. I absolutely LOVE it tho! Been on level 2 for 2 weeks and am about to move on to Level 3.

    Good luck all!x

    I thought the same thing at the beginning of the Level 2! I was like, okay, I think I can handle this... and then... NOPE! haha. I feel like in Level 1, the circuits went hardest to easiest, and it's the opposite for Level 2... starts out easier and then gets harder. I'm sure this is different for everyone though since we all have different strengths and weaknesses. But by the end of Level 2 I was cursing!!

    Level 2 was the hardest for me for sure. Level 3 is intense, but so rewarding when you finish!

    I'm moving in to No More Trouble Zones on Monday. Going to do 3 days a week and 2 days of cardio.

    *WOOT! Finished today as well. Lost a total of 8 lbs which puts me at a healthy bmi and no longer overweight. Lost a total of 9 inches overall, mostly from my hips and thighs. All my size 8-10 size pants are huge on me now and literally fall off as I walk. Most of all I feel stronger and have more confidence (not to mention the hubby is a little jealous). I'm torn on what to do next I love JM's system and find the workouts go fast and feel great but also considering doing something different for variety.

    Keep on going everyone its well worth it, its no secret 30DS is one of the most popular dvd workouts out there and its because it really does work to strengthen your body and help you lose weight/inches.

    Congrats to all you ladies that have finished, proud of you and VERY impressed with your results! I just finished Level 1 Day 4 after one rest day. Woo Hoo! \o/ Don't know if it's getting easier or I'm just pushing myself harder, but I'm sweating my buns off today more than the first three days. hehe Keep going everybody, you're all awesome! :) *Believe In You* :flowerforyou:

    Level 1 day 9 today, can't believe I'll be done with level 1 tomorrow! I watched the level 2 workout yesterday and am pretty scared to say the least, I'm not very coordinated and I'm sure I'll fall over at least once. Did anyone else have trouble keeping their balance??

    I started today and definitely looking for some buddies for encouragement. I have been doing the hip hop abs only three days a week for the last couple weeks and have lost about 6 inches in my mid section but was looking for more of a full body workout.

    I admit, I had to take a couple short breaks for about a minute a piece LOL! I feel really...shaky after too. IDK why but it certainly had me sweating! I didn't do the full jumping jacks yet, I know she says don't wimp out but I just couldn't do them so I did the side step version I've seen other people do and also the jumping rope part was hard. I know some ladies may understand but tata's get in the way haha! Sorry if TMI ;)

    I just started the 30 day Shred this morning! I did it last year with diet and other cardio and lost 23 pounds. Unfortunately I gained 15 pounds back! Need inspiration and motivation!! Need to be stricter with my diet. I need to cut out extra calories from processed foods. Going to the store today and load up on some healthy fruit! If you would like to friend me on here it would be great! I need someone to kick my butt when I am lazy!! Hope your day is going well and your exercise for the day is behind you! Enjoy!

    Okay I'm on day 8 of level 1 and it is definitely easier. My H started it with me yesterday and initially thought it was easy as (a) it was only 20 mins long and (b) he didn't even break a sweat yesterday. Today he's done day 2 and is hobbling about the house :D

    I'm still finding the push ups hard going so I'm gonna stay on level one until I get those down, so it's gonna take me longer than 30 days.

    Well, I had to take a break. I had a pretty bad reaction to the new movements and have a bad case of DOMS (didn't think that was real!). So much so that I have not been able to walk and had to go the ER because the pain was so severe I just couldn't deal. Its slowly subsiding and the doctors said that I should continue with it, that the reason the DOMS was so bad was because my body just isn't used to it but that is the whole point to build tissue so we'll see! I REALLY want to do this though so I will figure out a way to make it work.
