Well done - you should be really proud and this will spring board you to your next race. I love seeing photo's of people after a race with medals as I know how good it feels !!! Well done :happy:

Just finished D23 L3 - phew it's getting a bit better now. I took my measurements this morning and i have lost an inch this week off my tummy and also weirdly an inch off my lower arms. The planks must be doing that!!! How is everyone else doing? Still going straight only 7 more days to go for me!!

Just finished D23 L3 and this level is beginning to feel better for me. I find the first 3 or 4 days of each level are tough then it starts to get easier. Still going straight and i took my measurements - i've lost an inch off my waist this week - Yay!!

D22 L3 done -phew. How's everyone else doing?

D22 L3 done, phew. I feel like with this level some are hard (the planks) maybe because my neck isn't very up to planks but then the abs are not hard enough. I can do all the sit ups fine but the moving planks i just fall in a heap. Im hoping by the end i can do them all. I was up a pound this morning though despite my…

Excellent - well done, looking great :)

Thank you for your replies. Ok i will sign up and go for it, with the mindset of just completing it. I am in need of a new pair of trainers so will get some of those. I tend to alternate between running outside in the parks and running on the treadmill. I find the interval training easier on the treadmill but once i get to…

Wow you look beautiful - well done. You look younger, happier and healthier now - very inspiring :)

Just finished Day 21 - first day of Level 3 and yikes was it tough. I am really tired today so was flagging a bit and i wore my HRM and it said only 161 cals burnt. I'm hoping the more i do of level 3 the easier it will get. I thought my arms were going to fly off doing jumping jacks with weights!!!!

Sorry to hear this, i had the same problem last year and the only thing to help was rest. You can do the shred anytime, do make sure you rest and recover :) I've just finished day 21 and today was my first day of Level 3 - man was it hard, i was sweating so much but only burnt 161 calories according to my HRM.

Just finished Day 20 - yay!!!! Only 10 more days to go..and tomorrow im on level 3 finally.

Ok so i got home late from work tonight, went for a 5k run which felt great and then did the last day of level 2. That's Day 20 done for me, still going straight and proud that i got this far. Tomorrow is my first day of Level 3. I will take my measurements this weekend. Still loving it but listening to what weights you…

I love it...i lost 5lbs in the first 10 days and im on day 20. Haven't weighed in since day 10. I have also lost lots of inches and im down a dress size already. I have done it 20 days straight with no break and i run 3 x a week and walk on non run days aswell as the shred and do this around a busy full time job with long…

Yeh I have had the same pains but i think it's just lower ab muscles that i am not used to exercising. I can't wait to move up to Level 3 now. Just finished Day 19 only one more day then up to level 3. Good job everyone!!

Just finished day 19 still going straight..it's actually getting easier though and I am ready to move up to Level 3. Only one more day and then im up a level. @Forever I hear ya about the showering i was thinking the same i am showering like 3 x a day at the moment due to the shred, running and work. I haven't noticed any…

I love love love this thread...You are all amazing AMAZING people.

Just finished Day 18 - only two more days of level 2. Can't believe i have kept going straight through 18 days. The end is in sight :)

Just finished Day 18 only 2 more days of Level 2 then im up to Level 3. I am finding Level 2 a bit boring now and ready to move on. I can't believe I stuck with it for 18 days straight. I work fulltime and find it hard on weekdays to get motivated but i always feel better afterwards. Haven't taken my measurements in a…

You have a lovely curvy figure and have inspired me - well done you look amazing :)

ditto i find they really help with the next workout and sometimes when i need to workout the very next day if i have a protein shake its like running on new legs :)

Day 16 done. Phew...only 14 left to go. Anyone seeing results?

I have just finished Day 16 (lvl 2) it's getting easier now and i learnt today that if i keep my feet together during the v' moves im ok with them. I log mine as 30 Day shred cardio and according to my heart rate monitor i burnt 182 cals during level 1 and 225 during level 2, but this is obviously taken from my own weight…

@jenni268 - think you are making a wise decision if you have a niggly injury - you don't want to injure yourself for a long time. I just finished Day 15 Level 2 - half way now only 15 more to go. Can't wait for level 3 though, im getting bored of level 2 now. Excellent work everyone :)

@becka - well done on losing on the measurements that's encouraging. I just finished Day 15 (level 2) i feel better once i've done it and today i did it straight after my 5k run again and ouch my legs were feeling it. Half way now - only 15 days to go :) Still haven't had a rest day but i cant stop or else i dont think i…

Excellent - well done :)

Today is day 15 for me of 30DS with no rest days and it's a really good question about how to keep yourself motivated. However, I know that every single time I have done the workout I feel better for it. Plus the motivation is in the results i lost 5lbs in the first 2 weeks and inches off my body. My shoulders have changed…

I'm mostly doing the modified versions at the moment i think that's why i find it ok, i have a neck injury so have to be careful with any planks or i put my neck out again.

So I did Day 12 yesterday - was fine. Then today Day 13 and my 5k run - OUCH!!!! My legs were aching from yesterdays shred but i managed to finish my run and then did Day 13. I am finding Level 2 ok and I feel much better after each workout which is motivating me. I was so close to having a rest day though but still going…

Just finished Day 13 Level 2 is tough!!! Only 17 more to go...hope everyone is still going strong.

You look amazing - fantastic work!! you are now at my goal weight so this is so inspiring to me :)
