    @prilla13: yes..i know...i'm still paranoid about popping up and down in between transitions with the circuit training, but i am doing it a little slower than i usually would do it, and that kinda bums me out. definitely will be here awhile.

    WAY TO GO EVERYONE! YOU"RE AN INSPIRATION AND A HUGE MOTIVATOR!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

    L2, D7...done!!!

    D12 L2 done last night. I'm really starting to see a big difference in my tummy and arms, they're really toning up, I don't think my stomach was even this flat before I had my baby! I can almost do an unmodified push up completely which I never even dreamed of doing before! :)

    Hey Ladies!! I agree with Rigby, I can finally see some results! My arms and legs feel toned and my abs are in what I am referring to as the “developmental stage.” :laugh: LOL!! They’re getting there so to speak. 6-pack by Summer!!

    Guen ~ Glad to see you’re back in the swing of things :happy: Keep it up!

    Rigby724 ~ Way to go! That’s so great about the unmodified push up Don’t you just love those walk out pushups? Ha..the first time I did L2 I was like WTF is that?!? There not too bad now tho.

    Almondbliss ~ You ROCK!! Down to the single digits..can’t wait to be that close to 30 days. :bigsmile:

    Soo here is my questions ladies… What do you think of L3? How much more difficult is it than L2? I have 2 days left of L2 and I’m doing much better with it, so I want to get people’s opinions of L3 before I decide whether I am moving on or staying with L2 for a few more days.

    Keep it up ladies! You're doing GREAT!!

    I personally think L3 is the easiest of them all. I found that the only thing that made it a lil harder is adding the weights to the jumping jacks, and punches.

    Hello fellow shredders! I did my first day today. But how many calories do you enter on the diary? What do you call it?:huh:

    I sucessfully finished D1L1 of 30DS less than 10 mins ago.

    I'm back in action but I'm going to incorporating 2 rest days in there. LOL Saturday & Sunday will be my rest days. I will still walk one of those days however. I'm giving myself 1 complete rest day of doing no exercising just daily activities that I "have" to do. So, exercise will still be a regular thing for me. I am going to watch my calories more closely now as well. I want to be down to 127.5 (which is my halfway point) by this time in April. I have a trip planned to see my 2nd mom and dad. (He is home on medical leave from being deployed in Afghanistan.)

    So, that's roughly 7 lbs to lose in a month. I think I can do it. :laugh:

    Girl, you need to take it easy. I'm still getting over mine. I have a few pains here and there and I let them tell me when to stop. I don't keep pushing once I get even the slightest bit of pain.

    Thanks! Why am I not surprised she added weights to the jumping jacks?? I think I will check it out after these last 2 days of L2. I took yesterday off, so it will prob be Mon. when I try L3. I will let everyone know how it goes!!

    I did D2L1 today.I know my proposed plan was to take 2 days off from 30DS but since it stormed last night and it continues to rain here, my walking day was cut out so I decided to sub the 30DS for my exercise today. Boy do I feel it. But, if this rain does subside, the hunny and I will go walking for at least 15 minutes. So, I'll have extra exercise and then I'll take tomorrow off completely.

    I just have one quick question.. what lb weights do you guys use for L1? I'm a wimp, I use 1 lb weights for level 1. For starters, they are the only weights I have (no job = no money to buy new ones) and my arms are sore from just using them.

    My 1 lb weights started off as my walking weights just to add a little resistance to my walk. But, I find they work wonders for other things as well. It's amazing what just 1 lb in each hand can do.

    I've lost 1 pound! I want to say it's because I did JM 30DS this week. It seems that's the only time I lose any amount of weight. I've also dropped 0.5 in. Just wanted to share that with you all! (I really do honestly think it's because of JM30DS)
