Bump for me too.

Oooh, that's a good question. Can I muscle in here straight away and say 'bump'?!

Day 29 done. And guess what? No modifications! Can't believe I managed that. I still can't go very far down in push-ups, but hey, you can't have everything. :smile:

You are very welcome clairepoint. Hope it continues to get better for you. It would be good to hear how you are getting on; this group will presumably fizzle out soon, as we all finish, so why not 'friend' me? In fact, I'd be very happy to be friends with everyone here, so that's an open invitiation. :flowerforyou:

P.S. This thread has had 230 posts so far (I suppose 231 now), but 2663 views!!! I feel all shy now :blushing: .

I've just done day 28. It is dawning on me that there will be no graduation ceremony, no bouquet of flowers and my partner will scoff as it is just girly dancing around. How will I mark the big occasion? I could possibly have my first glass of wine since May (sad, I know). Anyone else got any ideas? I feel we should do…

You poor thing! Level 3 is tough, and after 1 day of it I wasn't sure how I was going to cope. Thankfully I haven't thrown up though - hope you don't either. I would say don't push yourself to that extreme; modify where you need to. You can always do it again without modification later. I moan about it, but I have been…

I don't know, but that's exactly what I was wondering. I never used to wake up hungry, but now that I am losing weight through MFP(and working out - yes, I eat my exercise calories) it is happening every day. I used to get hungry in the evenings, but it seems to have completely switched around. It makes no difference what…

Day 27 over - it's the home stretch now. Good going everybody! :flowerforyou:

Day 26 level 3 out of the way; 4 more to do. Burning fewer calories now (I use a HRM), and not sure if that is because I'm getting stronger or it is something to do with the really cold weather we are having in the UK. Pelvic aches no - but I am hurting a bit in the armpits, of all places. :laugh: I'm going to do Ripped in…

Just done day 25. I simply can't do the last cv routine at advanced level (the one where you balance planks on the weights then lift arms & legs), so I do half at advanced then half at beginner's level. But otherwise, it's going great now. I'm so pleased I decided to do this - I feel and look better without question. And…

Thanks for that - I went and read the reviews and ripped in 30 does come out very well, so I've ordered it!

Welcome, Emma. I find push-ups really difficult too. But do what you can and keep going; you will be surprised by how your body develops after a while. I have had just one day off out of 24 so far, because I was away from home that day. However, that's me - I'm an 'all or nothing' type of person. Arguably, it might be…

Day 24 polished off. Starting to wonder what I'm going to do after day 30 (after I've had a rest, that is). Have got a weight training DVD; maybe that. Any other ideas? How is everybody's body looking? I can deffo see some changes on the arms, and now have much smaller abdominal region, and then kind of generally…

Hahahahaha! Message passed on. Actually, I said to him earlier "would you like to join me in the workout this evening?" and he pretended to think about it then replied "Uh, no, I don't think so". Enough said. :laugh:

Day 23 done (day 3 of level 3). TAKE HEART EVERYBODY! I was just getting ready to start when my partner said "Are you doing that girly dancing around again?" That was it - I FORCED him to do it with me! Now bearing in mind that Steve thinks of himself as reasonably fit, he really brought shame on himself; bright red in the…

Hey, don't worry! I've just done day 2 of level 3, and it seemed a lot easier than the first day. There is one exercise that I will probably never be able to do to advanced level, but generally I'm now feeling positive. I'm also getting rather nice, shapely arms, although I say it myself! :bigsmile: Note to self: That was…

Day 21 overall, day 1of level 3 done. NO COMMENT. :indifferent:

Da da da da Dee dee dee dee Who's finished level 2? Yes, that's me! :smile: :wink: :laugh: :happy: :tongue: :love: :flowerforyou: :smooched: :heart: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: (little dance around the room) I'm still here. I only measured bust, waist and hips at the start, so I don't know the detail of how much I've…

Actually, the 'plank oblique twist' is OK for me too; I wasn't going to say anything, but since you've raised it ... I think maybe it just shows that we all have different bodies. So, for example, I find press-ups excrutiating, and can never go very far down. Just about to do day 19 ... ... OK, done. I'm reeeeeeally tired…

Ha ha! Yes, I'm confused about which day I'm on too - just had to check back. Turns out I've just done day 18 !!!!!!!!!!! Only 2 more days at level 2 ... unless level 3 is way to difficult. :laugh:

Managed to squeeze in day 17 this evening after a busy day (including a family do where I seriously exceeded my calorie allowance :frown: ). BUT ... wonders will never cease ... my partner noticed a difference today!!! No change whatsoever on the scales, but I'm learning that ultimately it isn't the scales that matter.

Wow! I've done day 16 ... I even managed jumping in the plank position today. Will have to take a day off tomorrow though - family obligations.

Just to let you know, JeninBelgium, I love reading your posts! It can be strange posting here, because it's like sending a letter to Santa - it goes off into the ether and you never really know if anyone else has read it, let alone what they think! So I just thought I would say thanks for making me chuckle! :laugh:

I'm guessing in a couple of days you will start to see something too. I'm trying very hard to be objective when I look in the mirror, but now, finally, I can really see a little difference. So yes, keep going! It will all be worth it in the end!

Day 15 level 2 done. I fear I'm sounding very boring. What news today? I do notice a difference in the mirror, in the middle region. Starting to feel slightly and cautiously pleased! :smile:

Day 14 done, level 2. Noticed some loose skin on my inner arms this evening, which while it shows that something is happening, is not altogether attractive, and certainly not part of the transformation into a goddess process I had in mind. Meanwhile the belly continues to wobble around. Not presenting myself very well…

Level 2, day 13 done. Beginning to think I can see a teensy weensy little bit of a difference in the 'trunk' area. :smile:

Level 2, day 12 complete. Still waiting for the dramatic difference. :ohwell:

No, level 2 just seems different to me, not harder, although I am sweating more!
