    Yeah I have to make sure I'm far away from the TV when I start jumping or it wobbles back and forth...however skinny get I don't think my boyfriend would appreciate me destroying his TV in the process!

    I finished day 2 last night! My arms still feel like jello, and my shoulders are killing me! I have 5 lb weights but I can't finish the side-lunge arm lift thing at the end and always end up putting them down about halfway through that circuit...it still hurts to do it without the weights, though!

    I'm definitely having a love-hate relationship with JM right now!

    I'm here, but can't do this until after work. I'm on the west coast, so I'm three hours behind you :) By the time I get home, get my kids taken care of, then my butt in gear and get it done to log it, you might actually be sleeping! LOL :)

    I'm going to start as soon as I get home from work, after my three-mile dog walk. This is the first time I've actually taken measurements and a before pic (gulp). Thank goodness for the MFP judgement-free zone. :wink: I'm 5'5" and currently 147 lbs. At least for Level 1, I'll probably use 5- and 8-pound weights. Good luck, everyone!

    Hips: 41.5
    Chest: 40
    Thigh: 22.5
    Arm: 12
    Waist: TBD

    L1D1 done.

    I'm melting..............

    Nobody is more surprised than me to announce that I've done L1D2 today! I woke up having had little sleep and appearing to have lost the ability to walk downstairs or hills (up is fine, down is a killer this morning!). I pushed through it and subjected myself to the punishment all over again, and boy am I PROUD of myself!!!!

    I have to get an actual cloth tape measure before I can get measurements (the stiff one from the garage and I had a fight when it would not bend any lay nicely on my skin ... and it won).

    I did L1D1 yesterday and sweated my *kitten* off ... but I am not sore today. The only thing I found super "hard" in level 1 (aside from having to stop and pee from all the stinking jumping!) was raising my dumbbells forward to eye level while doing side lunges, so I think I've learned one of the muscle groups I seem to be missing with my weight training at the gym!

    Now I have a question ... how do we go about determining levels? Do I do level 1 for a week and then move onto level 2 next week? How is everyone else doing this? Do we have a "routine" that everyone is following? Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days and Level 3 for 10 days ... or just what ever we want??

    Anyone else doing before photos as well as measurements? I'm hoping to have my kids help me do that this weekend!

    The more the merrier.....!!

    Dragofli.....I think Level 1 for 10 days....Level 2 for 10 days is how I am going to do it....I am taking July 3rd and 4th off for camping but will get right back on when we come home!! Hubby comes home this weekend and I am making him take a before pic......yuck! I am so excited for the end results!! I heard that days 3 and 4 are the hardest to overcome so once we are over that hill I think it will get easier.... I hope!!

    Finished L1D3 last night...it was definitely rough on my already sore thighs and shoulders! Today my calves are more sore than the rest of me, but I'm determined to jump through my pain!

    dragonflydi: those are my least favorite moves too! I have to put my weights down halfway through the second set and it still hurts to lift my bare arms for the rest of the set! Maybe by day 10 I'll be able to hold on to my weights the entire time :)

    OK, this is what I am going to shoot for as well, and if I feel I can step it up a little before, then I'll go for it. I could just up the weights from my 5 lb to my 8 lb also ... :)

    Looks like we will have a few 'before' pics to share on Monday!
