    I'll have to check some of these shakes out.

    I am starting Level 2 today. I am a bit nervous, but I am ready to move on. I do feel stronger, however, and finally able to do those bicycle crunches.

    You too! Man I am on day 7 today of L1 and I think as of day 4 I was able to finally get through all the bicycle crunches without stopping...Best of luck on L2...I start Friday on L2. I must say I do feel a lot stronger. I can also do a few more push-up (woman's of course) than I could when I first began. I could only do like 5 before stopping. Now I can do 15, maybe by the end of L1, I will be able to do like 20-25??

    yeah, I am able to do 20 push ups now. Those crunches are KILLER! Good job! I don't really see a difference in my waist line, but I am ok with that for now since I feel the difference in my muscles. Hopefully I will see more of a difference in measurements in Level 2.

    Day 6 here! I can do push ups the entire time now. I didn't think I'd get there really. And I'm starting to do the Natalie versions too. Woo!

    I haven't really lost any weight though. It's been a little tough for that b/c my family has 3 birthdays this week and that means 3 birthday dinners and 3 cakes. :noway: I only had a tiny piece of cake tonight though.

    Just did level 2 and it was rough. I was feeling so tough after level 1, it put me in check!

    I have this indicator of when I'm gaining/losing when I am trying to stay away from the scale.

    Its the little pouch under my belly/above my waist... there are times where its flat and all one flat stomach (not like skinny trust me i dont have a flat skinny stmach) and then there are times it rolls over and very pouchy/bloated/fat. Well after sticking to working out lately and eating right its getting flat! No more rolling over, just a little crease. Makes me feel great :)

    One thing I love about 30 day shred is you may not alwayhs see lbs drop but your pants get lose and stomach gets lean!

    Finished Day 3 level 1 last night, day 4 tonight!

    Monica, you are so right. I am on day 8 tonight of L1... I feel great, notso much sore anymore. I am definitely losing inches, feeling stronger. I am so scared of starting L2 on Friday after successfully completing L1 on Thursday :-/
    I haven't even been to the gym, but that will change. I am going to run the treadmill either Wednesday or Thursday and gotta get my spin class in Saturday morning. I am marking the days off my calendar and this is the first time I've stuck to ONE DVD this long...I can't believe it!

    Boy, you are absolutely right! My Dh dried my favorite jeans in the dryer the other day and I thought "Oh great, now I'll have to squeeze into them." But I put them on today, zipped them up and had room to spare! I was shocked and so happy!

    Alibreasy - we can start L2 together on Fri. :noway:

    Finished Day 4 of level 1 last night and feeling good, finally got around to taking my measurements, even though they are scary i am not ashamed as I am determined to make a difference. I measured myself at night so may not be that accurate as my trainer always says to do it on an empty stomach first thing in the am b ut looking forward to seeing some changes!!!

    Level 2 is torture but it hurts so good. I was looking at my before pics last night and the transformation is amazing. I'm halfway there and can't wait to see how I look after 30. Today is Level 2 day 5. Q
