30DS Challenge from Sept 20 till Oct 20

D7L2 Completed!! 14 days done in total!! I can't wait for it to be day 30!!! My knee is not liking the squats at all. I'm used to the routine & I'm getting the planks 2gether but still doing the modified version, my upper body is so weak but it's getting stronger. I'm ready 2 see what level 3 is about. We'll see how I feel I the a.m. Keep up the Excellent work!! Good Night!

I am wondering if it is those pendulum lunges that are doing knees in as it's the only new move in level 2 as far as lower body goes???

I really think it is the pendulum lunges that are causing my problem. I am going to try doing them a little slower tomorrow focusing on how my knees are bent when I lunge and see if it helps.

D9 L2 Complete!!!! For some reason it seems to be getting harder for me rather than easier like level 1. Is anyone else experiencing this? I feel horrible because I feel like this. But I am pushing myself best I can! Last day of level 2 tomorrow....then level 3 Sunday!!! Yikes!

You can do it!!! I thought it was going to be harder to workout at night after my day was over but it's not too bad. It might be mind over matter. Good Luck!!

Well I finished D10 L2! I always workout after work. I get off at 4pm so I get my workout in after that except on the weekends I get it done in the mornings. Keep it up!

D10 L2 COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!! Done with level two. VERY nervous about level 3, because level 2 was hard up until the last day. But I will start tomorrow and complete level 3! I've done it every day no days off 20days in a row!

I can say that my knees aren't hurting as bad. Still having problems but not as bad.

Hey Everyone!! I've completed D1L3 & 15 days in total!!! I'm halfway there. For some reason I can't seem to do 10 days on 1 level but now I have no choice. I'm seeing a change in my mis-section!! It was a challenge but nothing that we can't handle!!! Come on Ladies, we can do it!! Good Luck!!

level 2 day 9 & 10 done,

starting level 3 tomorrow, glad to hear that it's a bit easier on the knees, my are sore but manageable, but good that they will be under less strain.

D1 L3 COMPLETE!!!!!!!!! I will have to say that I prefer this level to level 2 lol it's not easy dont get me wrong but it's easier on my knees that's for sure. Also maybe I enjoyed the mix up of workouts. I enjoyed it!

Well I did take pictures the first day I started this or maybe it was the second day. So I will take pictures on the last day. Looking forward to seeing the results!

Keep up the great work ladies!

And this is 21 days in a row for me haven't missed a day. Feeling great!

I don't know if I mentioned in an earlier post or not but I went down 1-2 sizes in pants. Was 22/24 put on some old size 20's i had and they fit perfectly. I even put on a size smaller shirt It's now my favorite outfit I dont want to wear my too big clothes anymore.

Great job on doing 21 days without taking a day off!! That is a HUGE accomplishment! Congrats on going down sizes in clothing! I feel the same way about wearing the clothes that don't fit anymore! lol I feel frumpy and like a bumb when I wear the regular sizes, but don't want to go out and buy new clothes until I hit my goal. I also took pictures about a week into this and I am anxious to get to the end to see the results.

Keep up the great work!

Finally back on track...I haven't done 30DS since Wednesday...Today was my 17th day overall and I should have done level 2 but felt the need for a change so I did level 3. It was hard but I was glad for a change! My knees are still really sore and I think it is from the lunges...going to ask my boyfriend to correct my form and give me tips for strengthening my knees. That should help. I plan on alternating level 2 and 3 each day until I reach day 30. I am hoping that this keeps me from getting bored or over-exerting my knees.

You are all doing amazing with this and I am so glad I joined this group for this or I never would be sticking to it! I am at the lowest weight I have been since MIDDLE SCHOOL! I was down to 130 in February and then lost my motivation to push myself. I gained almost 10 back from Feb to September. I have never broken the 130 lb barrier until last week. I had originally set my 1st mini goal of 125 by new years and I am proud to say that I may make that goal before Halloween!!! This workout and MFP is what is helping me to reach my goal and push myself farther than I ever thought possible!

OK.. only 1 more day of Level 2 for me! I am actually excited! I FEEL lots of progress although I am not sure how much I am really seeing yet, I seem to be a slow starter at losing but the numbers are finally starting to change some. Tomorrow is normal weigh day and due for some measurements so I am hoping for some decent results (sort of pulled a "last minute workout" day today).

Keep going everyone!

Thank you! I am really proud of myself because I've started exercise before and have always fallen off. I have kept up with this and I'm loving it! I will probably take a week or two off of a workout DVD and use my elliptical. Then I might buy Jillian MIchaels Ripped in 30. I've heard that one is good as well. I love wearing the clothes that are smaller. I have some shirts I just can't wear anymore because they are too big. I also don't want to go shopping until I'm at goal. But I know I will have to buy some clothes but I have a pretty good amount to help me out on......all the clothes that I had as I gained the weight ugh.
Keep up the great work as well!!!!!!
