Lol. Yeah, I was wondering about your profile picture... I'm nervous too. I have been eating loads. Not going over my cals but I really feel like I have been stuffing my face! Plus, my TOM is around the corner (water retention central)! Definitely taking pics either way. Mine are in spandex, so not exactly half-naked - but…

Thanks. Yes, my goal is 0.5kg a week... that's approx 1lb

:laugh: Cool. Main thing I'm getting is that I should be level-headed and start at a mid-point (50% calories back); then monitor how what I'm doing is working; adjust accordingly; repeat. Am I right? What's a reasonable trial period to gauge results (a week, a month)? Is it ever ok to stay below 50% (like if for instance I…

Can't wait to see your results, calicutie! Way to go, girl! My day 6 was a bust. Half asleep for the first 5 min or so, then I just couldn't do any of those 'explosive' movements, as Jillian calls them. Only jumps I managed were the warm-up, jumping jacks with weights &, surprise surprise, Sumo squats! Yay. Lol. Still…

Lol. Every time!

Oooh, I like this. Gonna give it a bash. Thanks for the tips, all.

Yay! Almost there! I agree, Level 3 is just flying by. Don't feel bad - I've made peace with the fact that Anita's my girl for this level, lol. My knees are even beginning to get calloused coz I spend so much time on them :laugh:

Wow, Sally!! That is so awesome! Congratulations. I have yet to fit into any of my old pants. I switched to tights, skirts and dresses exclusively when I 'grew' out of my (UK) size 18 fat pants. This is a big deal! Super proud of you :flowerforyou: Hope the little ones are feeling better.

Yeah! Five more days!! I think this level is really flying past. The workouts feel like they're over in half the time. Loving the cardio with weights. But that cardio circuit with mountain climbers and Sumo squats... :sad: I feel like my body's really changing with this level. So excited to get to day 30 and see if I'm…

:bigsmile: It really does. Still tough, but almost kind of enjoyable. I think the harder you try, the less like torture it feels. Lol.

Sumo squats!!! Aaaah!!! :sad:

I gets better - promise. I just did day 3 and already a MAJOR improvement. I can almost do the whole 20 min with no breaks (a bit slow & mostly doing the Anita versions, but still...) I suspect you're much fitter than me anyway. You'll be loving that level 3 burn in no time! :flowerforyou:

Aww... That is so sweet! Well done for hanging in there. You should be proud.

Makes sense. Here's to six packs! :drinker:

You ladies are ripping through the shred. Whoohoo! Way to go! Just done with day 2. I agree with jbuc; it's tough, but also kinda fun.

Thanks, jbuc! I think you're right. I'll give the normal ones a try & maybe 'travel' just a few inches when I'm more comfortable with it.

Ok. Level 3 day 1! It's no joke. Those travelling push ups - I feel like I'm twisting something in my shoulder. Very uncomfortable. I must be doing something wrong. Sumo squats? Oh my goodness! Didn't have much of a problem with the punches with weights. In fact, I kinda like the adding of weights to cardio, coz I hate…

:laugh:

YIKES!! I start tomorrow... More than a little bit scared, lol.

Wow! How awesome is that!! Congratulations. :drinker:

Oh no! What a bummer :frown: Why don't you just start level 2 over instead of going all the way back to day 1? Is it that you don't want to injure your ankle again? Seems like such a shame to have to start from the beginning. Glad to hear that you're fighting fit, though. Rooting for you either way :flowerforyou:

Could that be the dreaded plateau that I'm always hearing about? Apparently upping your net calories makes a difference (eating back more of your excercise calories)? Dunno. Hope something gives for you! BTW, those really are some serious guns! Well done :)

Also watching my calorie intake. No more 'diets' for this girl. Ever! I mostly have trouble reaching my calorie goal. These last few days of 30DS have helped though, because I feel hungry a lot more. Even ate back my exercise calories once or twice. My biggest thing right now is to get my body (and taste buds) used to…

Yes! Awesome job, everyone!! @Sally, that waist & those hips are major targets for me, so you're right - I really can't complain. I'm generally very 'soft', even at a healthy weight. But I can definitely feel that there's a lot more firmness under everything. And my shape is changing in just the way I would like. Totally…

Umm... Ok. I know this is gross and *way* TMI, but I just did a 'number 2' & decided to step on the scale again (don't ask me why) :embarassed: Bottom line (excuse the pun, lol) my weight lost is now 1.4kg or 3.1 lbs!!! I'll take it! :laugh: :laugh:

OMG, guys!! I am SO happy to hear that you all have been chowing down this week too! My weight went up 1kg (about 2 lbs) overnight! Was feeling a bit gutted when doing my day 20 weigh-in, but now... Not so much. Thank goodness for all of my 30DS buddies. I would really be so discouraged & upset without you! Finish strong,…

Don't forget to take some measurements too! We wanna know how you've done.

So awesome! I'm pretty sure I'm not injured. The knees only ache for a couple hours right after the workout then fine the rest of the day. Good luck for tomorrow!

I'm also kinda dreading L3 - apparently there are a lot of crazy exercises in there! But we didn't come this far just to chicken out at the end, right? :wink:
