Here this is my challenge, and I am way behind. I have been concentrating more on my marathon training. However, starting tomorrow I want to double up on the challenge- do 2/day- to catch up. My goal is to do level 2 in the morning, and level 1 in the evening after my run.... Let's see if I can put my money where my mouth is!!!!0

Level 1 Day 3 done, i hope I can walk tomorrow. I did not realize how out of shape I am, but this workout defin lets me know it. I need to get back in shape my youngest turned one last month so can no longer say it is the baby weight.
I do Level 1 day 3 tonight! I took yesterday off because my legs were burning... I could barely walk. I'm excited to do it again though... Although, thoughts of a 2nd and 3rd level scare me!
Yeah right now, I don't know if I will be able tohandle the 2nd or 3rd level either. My legs are so sore, I can barely walk. But I guess no pain no gain or so we hope

Day 11 – Day 1 of level 2 and wow, that was brutal! All those plank moves definitely tired out my arms. So much so that I just did normal bicycle crunches instead of the ab workout they did on the last circuit. Found myself needing more breaks again, which must mean different muscles are working or the same muscles are working harder and getting tired out more quickly. Either way, it felt good to get it done.
All you guys are awesome, no matter where you are, just keep pushing it. It just seems to get easier as you move along. Soreness is replaced with strength and tone so don't give up! We can do this. Just think, those of us who started on Oct 1 are almost half way through! Wow, that's awesome!0 -
Day 7 complete. I'm a bit scared about level 2 now a few have done it, sounds hard. Mmm not looking forward to it so much now

Good work everyone.0 -

Yeah, those plank moves kicked my butt! I couldn't do the push up on the walk out push up at first, so I stayed in plank. Now I can do a half push up during those. I want to be able to do the full push up, but I am working my way into that.
And I agree, we are all awesome no matter where we are! We CAN do this!!0 -

Totally agree, make sure that you master that level 1 because level 2 is a little tougher. I can't say which level is my favorite yet because I haven't done all three. But level 2 challenges me big time!0 -
Level 2, day 4 done! Woo!
Keep up the great work everyone!0 -

I am glad to see that I am not the only one who like level 2 I think it is more challenging but it is more fun for me!!0 -
You guys are very motivating! Just finished day 4 lv 1. I had to add calf stretches to yesterday and today, the day I took off, supposed to be day 3, I couldn't walk right, my calf's hurt so bad. With the extra stretching, i'm much better. I was able to do all the rows, and lunges today. The first time!! i'm still having a hard time with the side lunges, I have to do it without the weights, and then half the time i'm accidentally going over my toe, its tricky!0

My butt is big, it sticks itself out hahaha0 -
Ok, I finished day 5 of level 2, woooooo! I am officially half way through. I am not going to lie, I didn't want to shred today. I had no motivation to do any exercise of any sort. But, I got on my elliptical for 30 minutes and put on Pandora and the club/dance station I like and did it. After that I was a little more motivated for my Jillian session I feel fantastic right now. First of all for sticking with it, even though it's tough. And second, because I see the results, I can't wait to see where I am after the 30 days!
Keep up the good work you guys!0 -
Sorry I haven't been posting...I did complete my Level 1 day 1-9 so far! Today is day 10 and I start Level 2 tomorrow!!!0
-
Ready for Level 1, day 5 tonight! Am I really already seeing results? .. I think so- my tummy truly seems a little smaller! It's getting a bit easier every time. I have no problem with the cardio anymore - I enjoy it! On day one I really struggled for endurance. Also, my legs don't hurt nearly as bad today. I'm still having trouble doing the lunges right- the side to side ones with lifting arms to eye level are SO hard! Also struggling with the bicycle crunches at the end. I love/hate Jillian!0

Finished L1 Day 2 yesterday and can't wait to do Day 3 when I get the little ones down for their naps!
I am a little discouraged though...I weighed yesterday and have gained 1 lb in a week!!! I have been doing some sort of circuit training with weights incorporated pretty much everyday for 4 weeks and I was just wondering if it could possibly be me gaining muscle? I do notice some firmness where flab used to reside...just didn't know if in only 4 weeks I could have enough muscle gain that my weight would go up...
I am SOOO aggravated at the scale and am tempted to throw it out!!! It seems everytime I weigh I get down...either I didn't lose enough or like yesterday...I GAINED!!! Anyone else just flat out not weigh themselves and focus only on inches and the way you feel or your clothes feel?0 -

I'm sure it's muscle and or water weight.. I always fluctuate a couple lbs. Keep it up 0 -

Thanks! I'm really gonna try! I've decided to not weigh or measure myself until the first 30 days are over and that, I hope, is gonna keep me from getting discouraged. I am just gonna push through the 30 days and feel good about doing something good for myself!0 -
day 5 lv1 done. i noticed today, i wasn't winded for as long afterwards.0

Absolutely possible you are! I can tell you this, I didn't have to dance to get into my size 10 pants today, woo! I had to a few weeks ago though. Keep up the good work, you're doing great!0 -

I only weigh myself once a week on Monday morning. For me, I have found Monday morning is what works for me, keeps me in check over the weekend knowing I have to weigh in so I don't mess up on the weekend. I am totally going by how my clothes are fitting and they are fitting looser. I have a goal weigh in mind, but I am more concerned about how my clothes fit me and just being in better shape and healthy. I have measured myself once a week also and I am keeping track of it on my own chart.
My advice to you is, don't get discouraged with the fluctuation and keep on keeping on I know, it's way easier said than done. Keep up the good work! 0 -
Kaffro,
It's got to be muscel gain, because I've gained weight too, and yet my clothes fit just fine?????????????0 -
Days 8 & 9 of level 1 done!! I think I can pretty much keep up with it all now so should be good to move onto level 2 after tomorrow. I still can't do a proper push up - but at least I can do them on my knees now, could'nt even do more than a couple before!0

Those push-ups will come, and soon you'll forget that there was a time when you couldn't do them! 0
