    I'm a day behind you but I'll stick with you until the end. The second level does have different moves. They are difficult but it will be worth it in the end. I watched all three levels before starting so I knew what to expect.

    L1D6 done and I'm wanting to do L2 - I really had to force myself to do today as I want to move on, even though those pesky moves at the end (the abs ones) defeat me. I can do the move separately, but it's like I've lost all co-ordination when I try to do them all together!!

    Yep. Mine actually says I've gained 4, but it's that time of the month and I know am retaining water like a camel, have been horrible about my water consumption the last 4 days AND I have not been getting enough sleep as a result of kids in sports which is keeping me from even getting home until nearly 7:30, dinner by 8 (I NEVER eat this late normally), etc. I just keep telling myself "only 2 more weeks, only 2 more weeks". It's a temporary set back.

    BUT! I am still dedicate to this. I did my day 5 last night at 9:30 pm, refusing to let a late evening get in the way of my success!

    This is exactly how I feel!
    And great to hear you are pushing yourself to stick with this even if it is late at night!!!

    That happened to me too on Monday morning, 4 lbs. But yesterday I was down one and today down three, so it's just a fluxuation ... happens to us all (especially us girls). It will all even out, just give it time ;)

    Woo Hoo! My daughter has been watching me and asked last night if she could do this with me one day when I do it. :)
    I just need a bigger space to workout in if there's going to be two of us.

    Have to say last night's seemed much easier ... but I also did not get my full normal workout in before hand (partial weights only, no cardio), and I thought it was why, but I still burned over 200 calories, which was more than the night before after a full workout before hand ... and more than I was expecting to see on my HRM.

    I think maybe I am just 'adapting' to these specific exercises, so I'm excited to see what the calorie burn says on day 11 when we hit level 2!!

    I really wish I would have measured myself before I started, but I plan on taking a picture after each 10 days to see the change in my body. My boyfriend says I'm slimming down a bit, but I keep thinking he's just being encouraging.

    I did L1D8 last night, so only 2 more days on level 1!! Hopefully the soreness in my arms will be gone by then :)

    Haven't peeked at L2 yet, so I'm a little scared...

    I just finished L1D7 and I'm feeling good. I am trying to push myself and do the advanced moves but that doesn't always happen. I hope everyone is staying motivated. We can do this!!!!!!

    Me too. Today is day 7 - my goal is to do at least 5 "advanced" push ups before I get to the end of level 10 since I do modified. It is the only modified move I do and I want to change that. I did however, finally make it through all the side lunge/arm lifts (to the eyeballs). Geez that one is hard for me. I tend to miss one or two reps of arms in there even while doing the legs, but last night, I did them all. Phew!
