    hey guys, can I join your little group? I have just done level 2 day 6, and am really losing motivation, I came so close to not doing it tonight, but I really wanna get through it and I know if I take a day off I wont get back on it! Could use some accountability! xx

    level 2, day 2 done. i actually like the walking push ups BUT I'm sucking it on some of the other moves! those push-up/jumping jacks - yowza. I agree that the "modified" is TOO modified, so i'm doing as many of the real ones as I can with a bit of a break in between. it's the sequence of a lot of quad and shoulders that makes it hard for me i think -- any one by itself, not so bad, but in a row? ouch!

    and yay! for using this thread for motivation wherever you are in the 30 day shred sequence.

    it helps a lot to be held accountable by posting after each workout.

    thanks folks.

    Level 2 Day 5 completed.. It seems to be getting "easier". I too feel more committed by posting my results each day. Keep it up everyone- we can do it.

    Level 2 day 7 done, I really had to firce myself to do it, i havent taken a day off so far and really want to complete it without stopping. It is killing me though, I dont know about anyone else but I just feel shattered all the time doing this workout! looking forward to when its over to be honest! Jillian is great, but I hate her! lol

    How is everyone else doing?! xx

    L2D5.

    Yeah, it definitely is the combo of using the same muscles over and over that poops me out on the plank jacks. I do try to make sure its never more of a 5 second break.

    I find that I need Jillian yelling at me to do 'a few more' in order to push though.

    I gotta tell you though... I am looking forward to level three. This level SUCKS! I hate all the planks!!

    I refuse to give up though. Must.Keep.Going....

    Level 2 Day 6. I pulled out a real jump rope to do the jump rope cardio portion. I felt like I jumped higher with the real thing.

    Level 2 day 8 done!! this time i managed to do the full version of everything except the double jump rope!! I'm really proud that I got through the plank jacks and the plank squats (or whatever they are called!!) without taking a break!! level 3 soon!!

    Does anyone know what level 3 looks like?? I dont think I can handle much more!! lol x

    L2D6. I'm getting a lot better. I can do the 'stand on one leg and lift both weights' exercise without a break!

    I still need breaks for other ones ( cheerleader squats and V raises) though. But so much better than the first day I did this level.

    I heard that Level 3 is easier than level 2. I sure hope so. If its less gymnastic, that would be nice. I'm hoping there wont be any planks.

    I did L1D3 today, and I’m finding that it’s starting to get easier. The only thing that really hurts still is the anterior raises.

    1/10th of the way through!

    Level 2, Day 4 done. I'm over my calories, so I jog in place while watching TV. Cheap & easy, I s'pose.

    Keep it up, folks!

    Level 2 Day 7. I tried heavier weights today , (5 pounds), It works for some movements but by the very last set I had to use the lighter ones.

    Might not get in day 8 tomorrow, on the road all day. I will not get home until 11:00 pm.

    Does it count as one day or two if I Shred twice in a day? Morning and night?

    I haven't been checking in but I'm still doing my shred. Finished L2 D7 this morning. I was so proud that I managed the full plank jacks. I realized I was just phoning it in with the modified ones. Will try the plank squats (or whatever they're called) tomorrow. My weight loss has been 2 lb so far (lost 2, gained 2, and lost 2 again) but I'm looking forward to measuring at the end of this level to see how many inches I've lost. My yoga pants keep falling down during the jumping... LOL!

    I think Level 2 is trying to kill me! It's not getting any easier. I still have to rest during plank jacks and those frickin' cheerleader V raise squat things. AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! I apparently have weakling anterior deltoids >:|

    The only thing that makes me happy is that I miscounted on here and I'm actually on day 9 of Level 2 according to my calendar. Thank GOD! I just want this to be OVER!

    So tomorrow is my last day of Level 2 and I take a rest day on Sundays. So I will be starting level 3 on Monday. I'm kinda grumpy that I'm only going to get in 5 days of level 3. We are taking a road trip to go hiking in a few National Parks. So I *will* be getting exercise, just not 30DS.

    I'll finish the last five days when I get back.

    I *really* want to compare my measurements so I've promised myself that hiking doesnt count as 30DS and I have to finish it before I retake my measures.

    Okay, I cant lie.

    I moved on to Level 3. Yep. I skipped the last day of level 2 and moved on.

    I am so glad I did!! Level 2 made me want to quit! Level 3 makes me want to do it twice!

    Way better.

    Yes, I still needed some breaks but I was so happy it wasnt level 2 that I popped right back into the moves without a second thought.
