Okay, I am foregoing L2D10 tonight since my butt is WHOOPED from all of the activity I did today! I'm just going to move on to Level 3 tomorrow, I think I'm ready for a change! I'll let you all know how I did ;)

Yeah girl, I'm the same height as you! 130 is my goal but I have a feeling I'll maintain better at 135 :) Thanks for the props, guys...I worked my butt off (literally! haha!) to get where I'm at! As far as what I did...I cut my calories, started eating more fresh foods and started working out. First I did Couch to 5k and…

If you ever stop posting pictures of your progress, I think every female on MFP will mourn our loss. You look fantastic, congratulations on reaching your goals! And I agree with the rest of these ladies...burn all of your shirts, you don't need them :bigsmile:

Did L2D9 yesterday, going to do L2D10 tonight after the mini goes to bed. I got very active today though! Went swimming with my daughter this afternoon and then took her to the park (which is a 3 mile walk that, according to my HRM, made me burn 460 calories! Oye!) so the Shred is going to be very difficult today, I think.…

Tugh! Did L2D8 today and burned it OUT! I went into it with the intention of not taking ANY breaks, and I only took one break...well, technically they were two half breaks, so it counts out as one in my book lol. If I found the advanced move to be too hard, I just followed Anita. This is the first day I've been so good…

Did L2D7 today...didn't feel like I put all of my effort into it, I was so tired from yesterday still. My husband will be coming home soon and I have been so excited/anxious/nervous/etc that I am starting to get into an almost depressed state. Therefore, I'm sleepy all day and don't want to do a darned thing.

Skipped my Shred workout yesterday...went shopping for FOUR HOURS and got a whole new wardrobe! I was far too busy to Shred, and far too tired when I got home! lol I'll be starting back up again today! Keep it up ladies!

That was me for a very long time...just keep a half gallon bottle with you all the time and drink it throughout the day every time you look at it. That will get you drinking more water :)

Did L2D6 today...only 4 more days until I "graduate" to Level 3...eeek! I am working REALLY hard to continue through the whole workout. I keep up with Natalie on some things, and Anita on some others. I ALWAYS have to stop short on the oblique twists during Cardio because I get a tummy cramp on the second set of them and…

Oh god...Level 3 sounds beastly lol. Did L2D5 today....already halfway through Level 2 and it's still HARD. I am not sure I want to "graduate" to Level 3 until I can do the advanced version of ALL of the Level 2 moves and not have to take any breaks. We'll see how that goes in the next 5 days! Keep up the hard work…

Hey ladies! Did L2D4 yesterday, still modifying a LOT but definitely taking fewer breaks and really pushing myself! Jenny - I am using 3lb weights. I'm a sissy and have no upper body strength, which is why the planks in Level 2 are SO hard for me. Good job moving up to L2 so quickly, good work! Keep it up ladies, we're…

That sounds like a miserable breakfast!!! I would claw someone's eyes out if I had that for breakfast lol :tongue: I had homemade blueberry oatmeal today and soy milk...I posted the recipe around here somewhere, but I got it off of Green Lite Bites :) Super yummy, super filling, only 295 calories for the whole meal!

I thought I posted this last night, but I don't see it... I did L2D3 yesterday and noticed I was getting stronger and not having to take so many breaks! Gonna do L2D4 today! Good luck ladies :)

Great...so I need to eat more calories, fewer carbs, less sugar (which means less fruit)...now I am incredibly confused. What the hell can I eat?????

L2D2...UUUUUGH. That's all I have to say. It's the TOM right now, and here I am still whooping myself to get in shape. Damn you Jillian Michaels :grumble:

I thought the same thing...I did Level 1 of the 30DS for 10 days and just started Level 2 yesterday...I'm hoping starting this whole new level will encourage my body to knock it off...I think I am going to try upping my intake 200 calories per day and try that for a week or two, and if THAT doesn't work I am going to try…

Dear sweet Baby Jesus...I started Level 2 today...did some of the things modified, though I DID try everything a couple of times just to see how it was before I decided to go modified...SO MANY PLANKS! You guys weren't kidding...oye. Jillian whooped my *kitten* today. I am done for the day. Ugh. Good luck everyone!

Did L1D10 today...SO glad I am upping it to L2 tomorrow, I was starting to get bored. Whoda thunkit? :bigsmile: Keep shredding ladies! I will post from my hospital bed after I die of sheer exhaustion tomorrow...gah, L2 :sad: :noway: :grumble:

Did L1D9 yesterday, gonna fit in L1D10 today after running all of my errands...then tomorrow starts L2! Aaaaagh! I'm skeered :sick:

Did L1D8 yesterday, going to do it today after my little one and I go for a swim! Beautiful day out today! Keep shredding, ladies! :flowerforyou:

Morning, SSC lovelies! :flowerforyou: Just had breakfast, now I'm going to sit and let it digest before getting an early workout in today, then scrubbing the crud out of my house :grumble: then taking my little one for a dip in the pool! Lots of exercise today! Going to drink a gallon of water today....that TOM is coming…

As usual, I'm in! :flowerforyou: Gonna clean this house top to bottom tomorrow, do the 30DS, and then go swimming with my little one! Also going to work VERY hard on doubling the water intake, as well as watching what I eat. Definitely loving my new fresh diet, but I'm running out of fruit too fast and still need to clean…

Hello Shredders! Sorry I haven't been on much...been busy! Summer is a busy busy busy season for my business, and I feel like I'm running around like a crazy person! But hey, I'm loving what I'm doing AND burning calories...right? :laugh: Did L1D7 today...a little terrified of moving up to L2 on TUESDAY (eeeek! :noway: )…

Let's all try to keep our teeth during this journey, all....that means you too, BGent :laugh: :happy: :flowerforyou:

Mustard is the most magical condiment EVER! I slather everything in it, it makes me feel less guilty about eating whatever it is I've smothered it in haha

I generally will eat a 300-400 calorie breakfast around 8am and then exercise at 11am...perfect timing, because then by the time I am done working out it's lunch time! :smile:

Did L1D6 today! Didn't want to, I was reading a good book when my alarm went off, but I just did it anyway. Gotta keep the routine! Besides, I do it while my little one naps and I CANNOT have her in the room while I do it, or she gets knocked over often lol. Just wanted to check in with you ladies...keep up the good work…

I haven't taken any measurements, though right now I am wearing a size 6 and small/medium tops, and by the end of the 30DS I REALLY want to be in a size 4 and x-small/small tops. They way my clothing fits is DEFINITELY going to be the proof in the pudding for me :bigsmile:

I giggled a little bit when Jillian got all excited for the mom yelling at the dad HAHA. She was like a little kid in a candy store :laugh:

I am SO excited to get on here everyday and see so many strong ladies here working their tushes off (both literally and figuratively, you know) to get healthy, get in shape, and get SHREDDED! It is definitely a huge motivator for me to read this thread everyday. :love: To you lovelies with the wonderful husbands/fiancees -…
