    Day 8 and tried Level 2! There must be something wrong because I thought Level 2 was actually easier than Level 1. Don't get me wrong - still kicked my rear and had me sweating - but I didn't have to stop like I did when I started Level 1 and I had more fun doing it. Maybe it's just because it was something new after a week but lesson is: stick with it and you'll get stronger! I feel great!

    Thanks to everyone for the motivation - I wouldn't have even started 30DS without this group.

    I feel the same about level 2 as you do I was like seriously this is kinda easy thats why I have been doing level 1 in the morning and level 2 at night

    Day 15, Level 2 done (Day 9 with the group). It happened, but I don't know when.. haha, but I lost the soreness in my butt - it was killer when I first started L2. Definitely getting easier - might make my husband give it a shot this weekend! But right now I would like some help and advice!!!!!

    I opened up my food diary for everyone to take a look at. I've actually gained almost a pound in 2 weeks of exercising daily, eating significantly healthier than before, and keeping my calories around my BMR. What gives? Is there something I'm missing here??????? I wouldn't mind maintaining my weight, but I gained!

    Any advice please!!!

    Hi - I'm new to this site and was reading your posts. Is there a program printed somewhere for your workouts? Not sure what the abbreviations mean, or how it works - but it sounds interesting. I walk 2ce a day about a mile each time, use my elliptical 5 days a wk for 30 min, and take Zumba classes twice a week. Wanted to get into some weight training, my frozen shoulder is still a bit sore, but need to start somewhere...and this caught my eye. Thanks. Judy

    Good Afternoon Shredders!!! :glasses:

    How are you all doing? I love to read all your updates, I think we are doimg GREAT!!! :bigsmile:

    I have done my shred today, with 7lb weights throughout, today I managed all the full push ups too, no girly ones at all!! I was surprised as I still feel like I have no energy but I tried to do them and before I knew it it was the last one so I was really pleased with myself. :happy:
    The anterior raises are getting easier too, the last few are still really hard work but not as much as the first time I did them all, I know I am progressing so I will keep at it.
    I can feel my core is stronger and my shoulders are toning up. I'm pleased, it's only day 9 for me and I still have a lot of extra weights and ab work to add in so I hope to see some good results by the end of the month.

    I have work tonight and work tomorrow night, then a night off the back to work friday and saturday, I will try to get a run in tomorrow, need to get into running earlier in the day as the clocks go back soon and it will be dark early, I will miss my evening walks and runs, :cry: maybe I will have to start running on the roads rather than through the forest as I need to still run and morning running is not always an option for me.

    I shall look forward to catching up with you all tomorrow and reading how you have all done today and tonight, good luck shredders!!! Let's do it!!!! :tongue:

    L1D7 done I had to take a break yesterday I burnt my hand and in the crease between thumb and index finger so it was too hard to do it and I think I needed the one day off other than cardio. Today I did it but without weights.

    Keep up the good work everyone =)

    hello everyone! i'm back from a short on my deathbed hiatus lol - i had some serious flu going on and did absolutely no working out for the remainder of last week

    but i am happy to say i picked back up yesterday and started up again - i'm re-doing week 6 of my c25k but i did my 3rd workout of 30ds yesterday - i guess i should probably just start over in a way and call it day 1 lol since i took so much time off in between. not sure if i'ms till counted in this because it's been such a long break from the last time i shredded but either way - you guys are definitely rocking it out, great job.

    This group is for 30 Day Shred (30DS) which is a dvd by Jillian Michaels. So we are all following the dvd, there are groups that pop up for this now and again we are about 9-10 days in for this group so its a bit late to jump in but you could probably find a group just starting.

    I did not do day 8 last night. I also skipped dinner, I was really bad last night to say the least. I came home and one of my dogs was missing, spent hours and hours looking for him, didnt get back home until almost 10, I decided it was too late to eat and I was too upset to want to eat so I just went to bed.

    Luckily a neighbor called and said they had my dog this morning so he is safe, I will definitely do the dvd twice tonight to catch up to the start date.

    Hello Shredders!!!

    Day 9 Level 1 complete!!
    It's defintely getting easier for me. I still can not do normal push ups but I can do all the girly ones without stopping. I want to be able to get through the entire level one without any modifications before moving to level two. I hope thats ok. I am seeing results every day. It's great!!

    I can't wait till the end to see the difference in my measurements!!

    I did my L1D7, starting to get good at the push-ups (on my knees though), but those anterior raises are still killer!

    D9L1 done, I had to double check my days. I couldn't believe I was already on D9! Pushups are suddenly getting harder though. That might be because my 5 month old kitten has decided his new favorite game is to jump on mom's back while she's doing pushups. He's done this for the past 3 days. Every time I do push ups he jumps on my back and sits there 'till I'm done, it's like his own personal roller coaster or something. Weird cat, good thing he only weighs like 2 pounds.

    Day 1 Level 2 complete!

    LeahSWright, did you finish 10 workouts on Level 1 or just 9 before moving to Level 2?

    Gosh I feel like my mom asking these questions but hey, it's for the sake of accountability :P

    Oh Quilled!:sad:

    I have two dogs who I call "my older kids" and I would be heartbroken if any of them go missing, so I can relate 100% to you...

    I'm so glad your doggy is home and safe :)

    Now let's get back on track! :angry:
