    3 lb weights. Kind of regret that though... I think I'll try to muscle through it though and see what happens. When I can no longer lift my arms, I'll switch to 1 lb?

    Just a tip from someone who also has PT's & PFT's in the family: I've been doing hard-core workouts for almost a year now: when I do JM I will NOT exceded 5 pound dumbbells since the risk of injury is too great. Using more weight does not necessarily mean you'll burn more, you may end up hurting yourself (especially since you're repeating moves back to back). I switch between 3 & 5 lbs & am seeing the difference and still getting stronger. Sure, some moves you may be able to handle 8 or 10 pounds but why risk hurting yourself & then NOT being able to workout for a few days or even weeks!

    I love working out too much to jeopardize myself: I want to look good, I want to feel good & while it may take a little longer it means the results will be easier to maintain & longer-lasting :flowerforyou:

    Failed miserably at starting this challenge. Had 'Fat Friday' at my Ma n Pa's yesterday and when I got home I was still stuffed!

    Couldn't even manage to start my Zumba for the Wii, which I got my hot little hands on yesterday!

    So today will be day one but I will be doing level 3 (I joined a different challenge but seemed to be the only one posting!). I'll go back to level one on the 10th, for 10 days and level 2 for the last 10 days!

    Starting weight = 184.5lbs
    (I'll do my measurements later today. I need my breakfast now!!!).

    I will be starting when I get home from work today, but I had a question.


    BeccyBerry, how'd you get that ticker with the shred on it? I like that!

    Google lilyslim
    pick exercise days
    full size ticker
    choose your pics and stuff
    then i picked count from ticker and changed it for the shred
    then you need the bb code and copy and paste to your signature xx

    Just about to do day 2. For all of you just doing this for the first time days 2 and 3 are baaaaaaaaaaaaaad but work through it and by day 4 you should start to feel less hurty lol. Thats how it was for me anyway!!

    Im using 3lb weights for the first 5 days of each level but I hope to up it to 5lbs for the second half of each level, will see how it goes though :laugh:

    I was doing it and just found this post, lol. So here I am. I'll do pics later. I did day 1 yesterday morning after working night shift and the kids joined in, lol (3+5!). Quite hilarious to see them doing jumping jacks. Not so hilarious to see them fighting over my 3 lb weights (I guess it's one way to make sure I use the 5 lb ones!)

    wt 135
    hips: 40.5
    waist 32.5
    thighs 21.75

    LOL my two are the same age and they quite often join in when I do it too. Yesterday when my daughter got in from school I asked her if she wanted to watch some tv whilst i put the shopping away and she said no she wanted to do my exercise dvd!!

    Day 2: wow! I didn't get to bed til 1am and was debating if I should set my alarm for 6 to get a work out in. . . This challenge and all of you are the reason why I woke up and shredded today! I felt great, I ripped through level three and for the first time on this level I didn't even take a 5 sec. Break! !! This is by far my favorite level.
    I finished my workout with a 15 min. Run on my elliptical
    I hope everyone else is having a successful second day too!
