    It seems like a lot of people doing the shred have commented that the results aren't as obvious on the scale. Yes, I've seen several people that have lost multiple pounds, but I'd visit their profiles and see if they're doing other workouts in addition, and what their diet looks like. I know for me personally that I'm not losing as much because I haven't cut out enough added sugar, and I absolutely cannot put any more time into working out right now. Maybe if you don't have additional time and your diet has already tightened up, you could try a different workout after you finish the shred? I mean - still a 30 minute one that's more cardio heavy or something?

    Yeah, I think that might be part of the problem I'm having. I think as soon as I'm done with 30DS, I'm going to start a P90X/Turbo Fire hybrid. A little bit longer of a workout, and a bit more challenging I think. I've also got to work on my sugar intake. It's so hard to do because it's in EVERYTHING!

    Level 3 day 1 completed yesterday. OMG, did it ever kick my *kitten*. I did it a day early because level 2 was getting boring for me, and man, I wish that I had just waited. I am going to do level 2 again tonight, and then start with level 3 again tomorrow. I was so wiped out, it was rediculous. I hope you ladies are still working hard. I am seeing results and I love it!!!!

    Ok, ladies, I'm checking in finally. I've done L2D1 and boy, did she kick my butt!!! SHe said "I want you to feel like you're going to die and this is exactly how I feel right now". I do hope it gets easier and I'm noticing change already. I'm so proud of being 1/3 of the way done!

    Came home from work and got L2D9 done. My knees are killing me! They aren't sore they HURT! My quads were sore the first few days of L1 but this really hurts. I had to modify some of the moves like the pendulum lunges I just did regular lunges and only half way. I hope I haven't injured myself. I am I the only one with knee pain during this level?

    On a side note, I am bored with this level but I got bored towards the end of Level 1 too. I hope Level 3 keeps my interest and doesn't add to the knee pain.

    One more day left of Level 2. No matter what I have done more than I thought I could/would.

    I am definitely having much more knee trouble than with level 1. I did day 8 of level 2 today and I want to skip to level 3 just out of sheer boredom. As good as this workout is I don't think I will ever do it again as the full 30 days. After 5 days on each level I am done and ready to move on.

    L3D8 done. I won't be doing a straight 30 days again either. It's killer on the knees. I honestly c how some people quit after 28 days: joint stress n boredom. Level 3 is no joke and the program has gotten me great results. I'm proud I stuck with it; but my body NEEDS a rest day. Keep moving everyone!

    I agree about the boredom part...I am thinking I am going to change i am going to take 1 day per level and move 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 until the end of the month. I realize each level gets more difficult but I hate doing the same thing each day.
    I have had some amazing results in the days I have done 30D Shred for inches lost!!!

    Take a day for those knees....plus some Advil to relieve the pain. My knees hurt the first day and I modified from there on out. I refuse to let a workout injure me. Make sure you are staying on the heels of your feet when you are doing the lunges and get that butt back!

    Did your hands hurt after doing the plank rows? The hand pain has been the hardest part of Level 3 and one of the reasons I don't like this level!

    Day 25 Level 3 Day 5 done! It was probably the best I've done on this level, which surprised me because I went on a 7 mile run before it. Today I tried wearing my weight lifting gloves (If you read my post above, you'd see that my hands HURT during the plank rows.) I was actually able to do all of the plank rows because the pain in my hands was a mere discomfort.

    A lot of people have been talking about DOR's (Day Of Rest) When I'm finished with this, I'll likely give myself a DOR, do a few more days before I start another 30. When I do "ripped" I'll give myself a DOR once a week because I know Jillian advocates it in that series (funny in THAT one, but not in THIS one!)

    ROCK ON!!! :tongue:

    My hands have hurt from the start of L2...I actually had bruises on them for a few days in part due to exercise in part having to move my school room this year and carrying boxes. I wear exercise gloves just so my hands don't move while using the weights.

    Good Morning everyone,

    I have not checked in and I have missed Jullian for 2 days. Sucks that life happens sometimes. I am forcing life back to normal sometime today. A quick run down beside grandma passing away, the funeral was yesterday and she has been laid to rest. Wednesday night while letting my dogs out, my oldest dog (14 in human years) got severally attacked by another dog. Actually I was babysitting my BF parents dog while they were in NY for the funeral and he attacked my dog. I dont know why but it was really bad. I have been caring for him around the clock with meds every 4 hours and flushing his wounds and hot cold packs on his legs that are swallon. Plus Vet visits and still going to work. Its a mess.

    Sorry, I know this is a forum for 30DS and since I have missed 2 days I want to get back on track. Today would have been the last day on level 2 so my question is do I pick up where I left off or make up to 2 days before advancing to level 3? Although I hated taking the break my knee's are feeling better. ***** Thanks for listening*****

    L2D8 Done! Burned 326 Calories. Level 2 isn't nearly as hard as it was on day 1 of Level 2! Yikes! ... Seems like everytime it starts to get better we get another Level and start the "hard" process all over again lol... i guess that's the point =P

    L2D9 Done! Burned 343 Calories.

    L1D2 - Yeah don't laugh all you L2 and 3 people!. It hurt. I'm a big plate of human jelly at the moment but it's all good...I think.

    Kim...Couldn't post and not mention your post. I'm so sorry to hear about your Gran and pooch, hope he gets well soon, fingers crossed and as for your question? I'm no fitness guru so don't really know, but I would say do a level two and then go on to 3. Ease yourself back in but I would also go with your instincts and whatever your body is telling you. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along soon.
    Good luck with it all :smile:
