question..
i was not feeling well all weekend- today also actually, so i missed my regular workout. if i double up for a few days, will that work, to catch up? or will it not have the same effect?

I have completed days 5 6 and 7 completely forgot to update here 3 more days and oh boy level3 here I come x

Today will be day 3 on level two for me and its definitely a big leap from level one. I didn't lose weight in level 1 but I knew level 2&3 will either give major inches lost or some pounds. I'm excited to see some changes

Day one of level two completed. YAY! It did seem to go by faster than level one. I liked this one better even though I struggled with finishing some of the moves. But I struggled to finish some of the moves in level one the first few days too, so I'm not worried. Moved up to 8 pound weights for level two and it was pretty easy, although I had to go back to 5 pounds for a couple of the moves. I dont think I'm doing the plank positions totally accurate because they seem a bit too easy. I have also been doing Jillians burn fat boost metabolism dvd about 4 days a week and level two of the shred has some of the moves from that dvd but easier. So no doubt thats helped me! I'm thinking about maybe doing level 1 and level 2 back to back like a couple of you are doing.

Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred Level 2, Day 6 done--last circuit of v-raises done with 3 lb. rather than 5 lb., weights; cardio easy.

Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred Level 2, Day 7 done--only 3 more days to go on it! Woohoo! Hope I'll be able to do those dange v-raises with 5 lbs. by the last day, but I don't know . . .

Day 8, Level 2 done! Finally, I did the 3rd circuit of v-raises with 5 lb. weights (but the cardio still with 3 lb.)

Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred Level 2, Day 9--still hard bit feels good! Last circuit of those horrible v-raises done with 5 lb. weights. Only one more day and then it's on to the accursed Level 3 with the jump lunges, mountain climbers and plank leg/arm raises :sad: .

Shutterbabe; I love how you described the v-raises as "dreadful-made-up-by-satan-to-torture-people squats with the v raises." Keep coming up with those descriptions when you move on to Level 3--they make me laugh and keep me going (why, I don't know . . . I guess there is comfort in knowing other people hate them, too!)

Everyone else, let's see if we can come up with descriptions of various exercises you hate on the Levels and we'll hate them together! :mad:

i am currently on day 3 of level 2. my alarm didnt go off this morning so i missed todays workout. ive been able to maintain through the weekend my one pound loss so i am happy about that. next workout for 30ds is tmrw morning. tonight is volleyball and im going to try and get in a nmtz workout for abs and thighs before my game. i HOPE i can. i have lost another 1/2 inch of waist and hips but nothing more off legs. and i tried to go jean shopping the other day......huge huge huge fail. i want to move to a lower size....9. would be nice. for some reason all the size 11s were tight. makes no sense since thats what im in now. boo!

Just started L2 D1 today. I have to say, it is harder then L1, I sweated a lot more and I thought she was trying to kill me. But I made it through it and it did seem to fly by faster then L1. In L1 I lost 3 lbs and 6" total. But I'm also working with a personal Trainer at the gym for 30 mins 3 days a week. I did 10 days of L1 with weekends off, so it took me two weeks to complete L1. So now on to the next 2 weeks at L2!
