    L1D7 done, wow I'm so excited i did it for the whole week. I cant wait to see what L2 is. I actually put my ipod on while working out since I'm tired of hearing her say the same things...although my 10 year old gets a giggle when she talks about kicking herself in the *kitten*.

    I was not seeing the scale move all week but this morning on my official weigh in day i dropped 2 lbs so I'm excited.

    What is everyone fave move and least fave? I love the bicycle sit ups and I hate the jump rope.


    I really hate the first cardio session, jumping jacks and jump rope. It's not that I can't physically do it, but all the jumping/being on tip toes kills my knees and calves. I usually sub in high kicks for one of the two.

    Wow - I did the 2nd round today, so I am caught up to Monkey and others in the group (day 8). My fave move is side lunges-- least fave is regular lunges. So I sub reg with the side lunges. I figure I do my bike several times a week, and it's mostly thigh muscles, so it evens it all out. Anyone else nervous about Level 2? Will we be sore all over again?

    Did L1D6 very early this am. It sure wakes you up. I love the side lunges, but hate the jump rope. I'm thinking about adding a circuit from level2 for the next several days since I getting used to this level. It may ease me into level 2 before fully engaging in it.

    Hi Everyone- I'm only on L1D2, but I can already say I hate jumping jacks. I thought I was gonna die yesterday, but this morning was a "little" better. For me, I think it's a mental thing. If I let myself think I can't do it, I won't. This morning I didn't put too much pressure on myself, and I actually was able to do a lot more that yesterday. Lookin' forward to day 6-7 so maybe I can get through the whole workout without needing a breather. :ohwell:

    So I did L1D6 tonight. I started with the group but have been only doing 5 days a week so I've taken 2 days off (bad me!).

    My fiance did the workout with me tonight. He's is much better shape then me (despite eating whatever he wants) and he was dying and had to take a few breathers. Granted he had just run for 30 minutes prior and I had just finished week 3 of C25K.

    Going to try to do every day until my next weigh-in on Saturday or Sunday. The scale didn't really move this past week. So I've upped my calories. I wasn't eating any of my exercise calories before and barely making 1200, so I'm going to try to eat about half them back. And I'm just going to keep working on it. I really hope to see some good results this week.

    Oh, and maybe I'm a weakling, but I gave in and bought 3# weights yesterday because the 5# ones were just to heavy for some of the exercises. So now at least I can make it through all the strength training now.

    Hi everyone

    So tonight will be day one of our 30ds, I have a ripped tendon in my ankle so I was wondering if you think I will still be able to do most of the workouts? Thanks really looking forward to seeing the results in 30 days.
    3 years ago i tore 3 ligaments in my ankle, it was so bad that the doctor suggested cadaver ligaments. needless to say i passed up that option and i just finishe L1 D8 and am going strong. The only thing that really puts a strain on it is the jump rope. I just kinda walk in place and do my arms really hard for that one.

    LOL I keep thinking of the lady that posted she got stuck on the toilet and had to have her hubby help her up because her legs were so sore! It gets better, I promise. Although I find I still get sore because I'm going lower on the squats and stuff. I do about 5 extra minutes of the warm-up and extra stretching at the end to help my muscles.
