    Level2Day11 complete. I must say Level 2 is hard but I like it better than level 1. The push ups and and lunges with arm raises were difficult in level 1. The planks are difficult I hope that they get easier as I move along level 2. Looking forwrd to the halfway mark. I have done the first 11 days straight hopefully I can do the entire 30!

    I was able to resume L1 of 30DS today!! For those that might not know, I twisted my ankle the other day and that pretty much kept me out of the game for a few days now. I had completed Day 5 before the injury, but I'm not sure if I should just count it as starting over (today then being Day 1) or resume from where I left off (today being Day 6 then)?

    Today felt more like Day 5 than Day 1, so... I'd like your input too. :D

    I'm not one to color inside the lines all the time and am not sure how long my '30D' shred will actually be. So I would say that if your goal is calendar based, go with picking up where you left off. But if your goal is 30 days straight of shredding, then I would say start over.

    I know...that was no help at all :)

    I did D3L1 yesterday along with brisk walk on the treadmill for 2 miles. I have been staying under 1200 calories and drinking 10-12 glasses of water a day. This morning I weighed myself and I have gain 1.2 pounds. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    i wouldnt worry too much. many people seem to lose inches not weight early on. if you stick with it i'm sure the weight will fly off by the time you've finished it. good luck!

    I just started today, that was a tough work out! How do you all enter it into MFP?


    I read on a post somewhere in here that they record it as circuit training. today was my first day and it kicked my bootay.

    I hate planks. Hate hate hate them!! I've never been able to do them properly but you know what? Today was my D1L2 and I did everything! I even tried to follow Natalie the first time through and then Anita the second if I was tired. But I still hate planks. They kick my *kitten*. lol

    L2D4 donezo! I'm so proud of myself that I've gotten this far! And as a plus my cold is finally gone! But its the TOM so any inches i lost on my tummy/weight have been added back (at least it won't last!). Hope everyone else is doing fantastic! It's finally starting to get easier minus those chair squats and the double jumping jacks kick my butt! Definitely hate the 3rd circuit!

    You will feel worse before it gets better. I thought I was going to die everytime I walked down stairs or tried to sit on a toilet. But it did get better. You just have to stay with it. On my 4th day I was starting to feel better. Good lock with it. I log it as circuit training. 20 minutes.

    Today I do L2D3 but we have company coming out next week and I'm not sure how I can fit in any time then... I might have to try and pick up where I left off in 2 weeks. =/

    Being at the county fair, all day, everyday, and not getting home until 10 pm has really put a cramp in my exercise schedule! I did manage to get the Shred in this morning (Level 1 Day 9) while my dh watched for a bit. I told him he could exercise with me if he wanted...he did not want! lol

    Finished lvl 1 day 9 today. Trying to figure out when I'll get it in tomorrow as I'm going to stay the night with friends. I might can do it in the a.m. before I leave out for the day. Hummmm... decisions decisions!

    Didn't do L2D3 yesterday, just couldn't talk myself into it but I did do an hour of cardio. Back on track today. Here's the good news, ready???

    I have not lost a pound, if anything I'm struggling to hang on to my lowest weigh in last week... BUT I measured just a tiny bit today because I need to know I'm making a difference because I just feel FAT! Turns out I'm 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch down in a couple areas! Maybe that's just fluctuation but I'm going with it. Not even halfway through and not a pound lost but measurements are creeping down. That means muscles baby!!!!!!

    Finished Level 2 Day 8. I'm having a hell of a time with it because I went hiked 7 miles (1200 calories!) last Sunday and I wore my Vibrams. I thought my feet were toughened up enough because I'd been walking 2 miles 5 days a week for 2 weeks. My feet were not toughened. I got a blister on top of a blister. Seriously. The top of one blister peeled off midweek and there was another one underneath. That one peeled off on Thursday and that spot is really tender. It's at the base of my big toe on my right foot. So lunges and planks are not particularly fun at the moment. I finally have socks for my Vibrams so hopefully I can finally heal. I have an easy 5 mile hike planned for tomorrow and I would like to do both that and the shred. I have not lost any weight so far. And I think I've lost about 1/2" off my waist. I'm really hoping that I'm just building muscle and I'll start seeing a difference soon. It's really difficult to keep up my motivation when the scale won't budge and the tape is always the same.

    Agreed. I'm on D3L2 and I keep gaining back the same lbs and the same inches. Arggg! But I think my calves are looking great.

    I just did D1L2 today and I did not peek to see what I was in for before I started it. REALLY wish I had, she kicked my butt., My 10 year old decided to join me today and he was asking when it would be over. LOL!! I so hope I can get through level 2, I am terrified to see what level 3 will be like. But, since this is just my first day of L2 then I am not going to worry about it for a while. I think I will feel better about it tomorrow when my son will not be doing it with me and wanting to talk all the way through it. LOL!

    I do have to say, Jullian really needs to watch what she wears, with my son in the room and watching her every move and workign out with her, I was really hoping she was not going to fall out of her top. I was truely afraid that she was going to. (although I know they would not have put it on there, but the thought did cross my mind with him standing here watching her....LOL)

    Finished D6&7L2 (I have a wedding tomorrow so I won't get it in so I figured to double up). Definitely exhausted now and looking forward to sleepytime :). When is Level 2 supposed to get easier (even though it is slightly easier than when I started it is still REALLY tough! I always have to take a few breaks just so I can put my full energy into every move. 3 more days of level 2 (wow time flies!)

    day 1 of level 3 in the bag. some really tough moves in there but some not so bad too so maybe not quite as bad as i feared. i think i'm gonna enjoy level 3 more than level 2. although maybe thats coz i'm on the home stretch!!

    21 down - only 9 to go! :happy:
