    Well done Nesstle on your results!

    I'm sooo annoyed with myself! Set my alarm early so that I could get up and do Level 1 Day 10 this morning before work. I’ve got asthma, and was wheezing really bad when I woke up! I knew that I wouldn’t be able to put in 100% effort, so just had to leave it. I will do it as soon as I get in from work tho. Will take measurements and post after I've done it!

    I'm on Day 4 of Level 1 of this, so far I haven't been finding it that hard but today I really hurt my foot doing the jumping jacks and lunges. Anyone got an exercise I could fit in instead of those two?

    L1D5 done!
    Also, lost 2 lbs so far! Freaking ecstatic. Although I have been swimming and doing aerobics, so it's not all due to 30DS!
    I can do all the push-ups in the first round and about half in the second. Same goes for the side lunge things in Circuit 3. Progress! :D
    Looking forward to measuring myself in 5 days... I'm already seeing and feeling a difference!!!

    Day 4 on Level one!! Day 3 was the hardest for me so far. I'm glad I pushed through - today was easier. Took waist measurement and weight before starting, but forgot about my arms (where I REALLY need to see results), so did those today. I feel GOOD!

    Level 1 day 1 complete ... however ... I use a heart rate monitor and I've only burned 189 calories. I suppose because it's only 20 minutes plus warm up and cool down this isn't bad. Who else uses a HRM and how many calories do you burn?

    I started working out seriously on the 3rd of January this year - I work out 5 days a week and have 2 rest days. I have stuck to this pretty religiously, maybe taking 5 extra days rest up to today. I alternated between 45 minutes Kettlenetics (kettlebell workout with a 5kgs / 11lbs weight) and a 1 hour aerobics workout that included core, abs and conditioning in addition to cardio. So, I'm not unfit. I did 2 days of JM's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism last week and burnt 489 calories and 518 calories.

    My plan was to alternate workouts with 1 day 30DS and 1 day BFBM plus my rest days but I'm wondering if I should just do the 30DS 5 days a week with my 2 rest days. I need my rest days to catch up on house chores, give my muscles time to repair and be alive to chase after my 2 year old son in the day! LOL

    What do you think? HELP!

    Day 8 take two today. I tried yesterday and had a shooting pain so I stopped. Hopefully today will go better. I'm on a roll and I don't want to stop! I will do this!

    Just finished Lvl 1! I'm excited and a little anxious to start lvl 2 tomorrow. My calves still kill me during and after the work out. Hopefully lvl 2 wont be as killer on them and I'll adjust faster.

    Finished Level 1! :D
    Watched Level 2 and it doesn't look as bad as I'd pictured it... but then again watching it isn't the same as doing it :P
    I'll report back tomorrow morning after I've done L2D1. So excited, only 20 days left!

    After Day 7 Level1 my back is toast so I have to take a few days off... not happy :(

    Two-day head ache set in after day 4 (Thursday) so took Friday and Saturday off (instead of Saturday and Sunday) and just scraped through day 5 today. I wasn't going to do today as just wasn't in the right frame of mind but hubby gave me the right kick up the back side (a.k.a. tough love approach / guilt trip for not doing it as I promised I would when he started P90X and I started this 90 day health kick) and I did it :) This week I'm going to do Mon / Tues / Wed, rest day Thurs then Fri / Sat and rest day Sun.

    So yes, level 1 day 5 complete :)

    After completing level 1 in january I completely lost motivation and fell of the wagon. Now I'm starting again along with a healthy diet, so bring it on. I know I'm going to feel like I'm dying the first few days, but it will be worth it. Going to take some before pictures and measurements and then starting on day 1. Good luck to everyone else doing it! :happy:

    Day 6 done - highest calories burnt since starting - maybe my son should take 45 minutes to settle for the night more often! LOL

    Day 3 done. Really finding it hard going, feel like I'm dying while doing it. I know from the last time round that it started to get easier, but not sure when. What day did it start becoming more bearable for any one else who's doing it?

    Day 3 was the hardest for me. I went straight through to day 7, ignoring the increasing pain in my lower back - then had to take a few days off because it was so bad. Did day 8 yesterday. Back still is not 100%, so I don't think I can/should do it every day. I think I'll do Day 9 tomorrow or Friday, depending.

    Day 8 done yesterday, despite the snot and actually burning more! Absolute loving it and have gone from no proper press up to being able to do 5 then girl / knee ones. Still hate side lunge / anterior lifts though, what a *kitten*! LOL Day 9 tonight, break tomorrow and finishing level 1 on Sunday, can't wait for level 2. Being very good and not sneaking a look :)

    I tried a Jillian Micheals some time ago and struggled. I decided to do level one this morning and didn't realise I needed weights. So I did it but it wasn't as hard as I expected, I've found HIT workouts with fitnessblender a lot harder and they don't require weights. Maybe it's because I don't have any weights? Annoying don't know whether to stick to my usual HIT until I get weights or continue without?
