Level 3 Day 5 done! As much as I'm loving the 30DS results I'm seeing, its killer on my knees, so I think when I'm done I'm going to move on from Jillian. I have been doing some PopSugar Fitness and Fitness Blender videos on my off days from 30DS and they are KILLER, but more low impact on the knees. Highly recommend both…

I get home from work around 5:45, finish eating dinner by 7 or 7:30, then go workout around 8:30. I feel like an hour's digestion time is enough for me. I honestly prefer to workout before I eat, but our schedule works better eating first, so I make do.

Level 3 Day 4 complete! Can't believe I only have 6 workouts left until I've finished the whole thing!

Level 3 Day 3 complete! Really tough today because I'd just got back from taking the dogs on a 2 mile walk, plus its still hot and humid. Exhausted!

Did Level 3 Day 2 yesterday...was harder this time than the first time, because it was 90 degrees and 90% humidity, and we don't have AC in my workout room. Yuck!

I'm not done yet (on level 3 still) but I've rarely been sore after the workout, and that hasn't stopped me from losing inches. I've read (on MFP and elsewhere) that being sore isn't necessarily an indication of a good workout. Don't worry! :) Oh, and I alternate between 3 and 5 lb weights as well. Anything with the arms…

I ghosted my former bff a few years ago, so I can also offer a little insight from your friend's perspective. We had also been bffs since high school, at one point were roommates, did everything together, etc. I am completely socially awkward and do not make close friends easily, and while I had other people I was friendly…

That's amazing!!!

Level 3 Day 1 done! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It was still REALLY hard, but in a different way than level 2. All the plyo moves are tough!

Regular girl turned more nerdy by my SUPER nerdy software developer husband. He does all the gaming (WoW, Diablo, Assassin's Creed, StarCraft, Star Wars (The Old Republic), etc, but our computers are right next to each other so I learned about them by osmosis. lol I also sat through the entirety of him playing Bioshock…

woohoo....Level 2 Day 10 done today! On to Level 3! Totally nervous!!

Level 2 Day 9 done!

I second 30 Day Shred...I'm only 2/3 of the way through it right now, and I'm down 3 inches in my waist alone. Its free on YouTube.

Level 2 Day 8 done! I don't feel ready for level 3 in a few days. lol Although my husband was curious about it, so he came to do the workout with me, and couldn't even make it through the first circuit. I definitely couldn't have done that either without going through level 1, but he understands now how hard my workout is.…

Level 2 Day 7 done!

I totally sympathize! While I have lost several inches, especially around my waist, I have been flirting with the same 3-4 pounds for nearly 2 months. While I'm grateful for the inches lost and I can totally tell a difference in my clothes, at 230-ish pounds, my troublesome joints would be a lot happier with less weight to…

I just wanted to touch on this-I had no boyfriend or even friends really when I was 18, and sat around bored a lot of the time. It was a very socially painful year for me, and very dramatic, as the teenager years tend to be. My friends at the time turned their backs on me because I was not "popular enough" and it was…

I mostly have to do the 30 Day Shred every other day because I have pre-existing joint issues and need the break in between. I don't take the day off though-I will still go for a long walk, a hike, do another, lower impact video, play Just Dance on my Wii, or do a Zumba dvd I have. Your rest days don't have to be all…

Level 2 Day 6 complete! Candy, you're doing amazingly!!!

Level 2 Day 5 done yesterday...the more I'm doing these, the better my joints are feeling, and the less I'm having to do them every other day. Still feeling good even after 2 workouts in a row. Hopefully it continues and I can keep doing it every day! I'm also able to do fewer of the modified moves now, although by the…

Its CRAZY hard! But a fun challenge!

Finished Level 2, Day 4 today!
