    hello all,
    this is my first time i join an exercise forum...today
    will be 3rd day L1. I hope participating in a group
    such as this will keep me motivated.
    Level 1 is kicking my butt, my legs mostly.

    Mine were today after I worked out. I took a hot bath tonight as hot as I could stand it and got out feeling so much better.

    lol! i'm not sure why but i love this bit in the third circuit of cardio -

    'last 30 seconds- i want you floating off the ground right now! coz you're strong! THIS IS EASY FOR YOU! NOTHIN YOU CAN'T DO!!!!'

    makes me feel good every time. maybe thats just coz we're near the end by then though.:laugh:

    haha I don't know why but everytime I hear her say that it pisses me off! lol

    Pisses me off too. Especial when she said they're doing it with us and we're all in the same boat together... I'm thinking "Girl I'm 209lbs, you're nowhere in the same boat as me" lol....

    OR....."you see these abs? These abs don't come for free. I want abs like those and I would do just about anything to get them." (not an exact quote but you get the idea) HUH??? You have abs like those...look down and you will see them! :huh:

    haha exactly! I'm like b!tch please! :tongue:

    LMAO! Am I the only one who thinks Jillian has a crush on Natalie?

    I did L2D2, tonight and wanted to cry for mommy. I might go back to L1 for a few days.

    L1D3 down for me tonight! I ran before I did it and I have to say I can feel a lot more strength in my legs already!! I shaved my mile time off over a min and a half! I was very pleased with myself! Ran for 43 mins then came home and did 30DS and boy did I ever sweat. My legs aren't feeling as bad but my arms are sore! Looking forward to being a week into this so things will level out lol. I'm scared tomorrow though because I'm getting on the scales. I'm expecting the worse, but still don't wanna see it go higher! :( We'll see and I'll update after I weigh! :)

    No you are not, although I thought she had a thing for Anita with all that touching.

    D3L1 done. I absolutely could not get up early this morning so I had to wait until tonight to do it. It seemed soooo much harder. I'm wearing myself thin. I think I may have to do six days and take one day off per week just so I can refuel.

    On another semi-unrelated note, a guy at work said I was looking thinner. Obviously 3 days into the shred, that can't be it. But it's nice to hear.

    Happy Friday tomorrow!!

    I was thinking the same thing about Jillian crushing!!! But I thought it was Anita she was crushing on and if you watch Anita sometimes it looks like she's crushing on Jillian too! So cute! "Isn't that right buddy?"

    Finished D7L1. I missed a day yesterday. Even started it and just gave up and shut down the DVD. I waited until too late which I've been doing too often lately. Anyone else having a tough time trying to talk themselves into it? And when I do start it I have no drive or energy. I'm hoping it will get better cause there's no way I can move onto L2 this way. :yawn:

    Hello out there (:
    This is my first time using the boards on here, and I actually bought 30DS just because of all the ranting I saw on my iPod app!
    Anyways, I'm starting as soon as I log off of here, and closely tracking my results. I have pictures & stats of me right now on my blog.

    Please feel free to friend or message me so we can compare our results and track ourselves.

    Today was D3L1 for me and I know EXACTLY how you feel! I woke up this morning wondering if I had been hit by a car in my sleep. It took everything I had just to get out of bed and I am still amazed that I managed to push myself through another 20 minutes of Jillian kicking the crap out of me!

    I have to do it in the morning or else I won't do it at all. If I get that out of the way in the morning, then if I want I can do something "easier" at night like the treadmill or wii fit

    But you got out of bed and did it. Great job! I try to do it first thing in the morning, because if I exercise at night I have a hard time falling asleep. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!

    oh you guys gave me a good laugh on the crushin'comments!


    level 1 day 8 done. i lost only a fraction of a pound since restarting. no measurable inchs yet either but it looks like its moving a tad. the big nsv: in the mirror i saw definition in my right arm - unflexed!. i can't recall when the last time i saw that was.....maybe 20 years ago?

    i like level 2..and did the first time around as well....It seems to go faster to me. & less weights. hate weights lol.

    I just started Level 2. I took today off and decided to do my workout in the morning so I don't have to think about it later. I thought it would be like the beginning of Level 1. It was worse. I am soaked and shaking. That woman is EVIL.

    I'm 3 days into level 2 and it's still hard. I find myself taking it easy instead of doing the advanced moves. At least I'm still moving I guess.

    I weighed today because this will be a not so good weekend with 2 birthday parties. I have lost a pound since Sunday when I last weighed in. I guess I haven't POed my muscles enough yet. I was expecting a gain but loved it going on down. I'll weigh again Mon then after that I'm just going to weigh weekly.

    My right bicep hurts though! Almost like a pulled muscle hurt. Not like my legs or stomach hurt. I might take it easy on that arm today and let it rest. Just work the left on the bicep curl. Gotta try to fit in 30ds today since I have a birthday party to go to tonight! Funnnnnn times!!

    Yes! I quit after the 2nd circuit L1 Day 5 (which was 7/6) and couldn't face doing it yesterday - did run 3 miles at the gym though. I'm going to get right back at it tonight after work though - I'm afraid if I don't it'll get easier and easier to blow it off each day. Going back to 3 pound weights too.

    Well, Jillian is taking a backseat today! The sun is shining, the temps are decent, and Im going to go for a walk w/ my son and dog. Im sure Jillian will be disappointed, but she will get over it! I'll catch her later, but for right now, it's walking time. :smile:

    D3L1 Done. It does get better. I notice my endurance during cardio is picking up:smile: . I missed a few days but on those days I replace the shred with a great walk. I think my muscles thank me for the break. But anyway, back to shredding and actually looking forward to tonight to see how much better I am :smile:

    Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    L1D3 was last night. It's actually getting a lot easier. Still can't do a regular push-up but ehh-- I've never really had that much upper-body strength anyway. Thanks goodness for the modified version (which I still don't do properly and my husband still giggles at me whenever I do it lol)

    I measured myself early this morning and saw that I was .5-1 inches smaller around my bust, waist and hips. Not such a big deal, but it definitely gave me an extra boost of confidence :) Of course, I made the mistake of weighing myself right before lunch and to my disappointment, saw 1.5 extra pounds to my regular numbers. I'll totally blame it on the fact that a) I weighed myself before lunch WITH my office clothes on, as opposed to weighing myself first thing in the morning with uh, no clothes on and b) a certain Aunt Flo will be visiting very very soon (sorry guys).

    Onto L1D4 tonight!

    Oh and to everyone who is just starting out, trust me the soreness will go away! My legs have finally loosened up and I no longer look like zombie walking down the stairs :)

    Lvl 1 Day 9 is complete! Holy crap, tomorrow is the last day on Lvl 1. I think I might miss it a little :laugh:

    I haven't so much as peeked at level 2 because I don't want to fret about it.

    The scale HATES me. +2 lbs since last Friday. I doubt it's muscle this time. Dammit!
