How about something like:

i= 0;
Do[
    i= i+1;
    Print["something 1 = ", i];
    If[i <=3, Continue[] ];

    i= i+10;
    Print["something 2 = ", i];
    If[i < 30, Continue[] ],

  {7}
  ]
Print["something else"];

something 1 = 1
something 1 = 2
something 1 = 3
something 1 = 4
something 2 = 14
something 1 = 15
something 2 = 25
something 1 = 26
something 2 = 36
something 1 = 37
something 2 = 47
something else
