I did it!!!! I got my butt up this morning and completed my exercise!!!! D6L1 Completed!!!!!! I feel great this morning partly because I did my workout and the energy and proudness I have from accomplishing my goal!! It was a workout so I will definitely be on Level 1 until day 10 but I'm not sore. Everyone have a Great Day!!!!0

Wanted to say great job ladies, keep up the great work!!!
And correction I'm not on level 2 yet. Today will be D8 L1 still. Won't be able to workout until after work. I workout after work Mon-Fri then weekends I can do it in the morning. So I will update when I get todays done!
Also when are you weighing? Are you going to do it weekly or after the full 30days or what?0 -
Fell behind a little but day 4 is done! Needing some heavier weights for most of it. I've been using a combination of a 1.5 lb wrist weight and a 1 lb can in each hand. Still barely able to finish the shoulder presses with only 1.5 lbs, but the rest is definitely more than ready for 3-5 lbs.0

Day 8 Level 1 complete!! I cannot believe that I have actually stuck with this so far!! I REALLY did NOT want to do this workout today, but I did
I really struggled with the lunge & shouler raise....not sure that is going to get eaiser EVER lol
I did 4 REAL push ups today. I am going to try and increase that every day. As every day passes I get more and more nervous about Level 2.
Great job to everyone else who has been sticking to this program. Seeing all of the before and after photos and results is going to be great!!
I myself am also nervous about starting level 2! I was SOOOOO sore the first 2-3 days but I am getting less sore everyday. I liked the soreness because it made me feel like I was actually doing something. But I know just because I am not as sore now doesn't mean I am not working it and doing good! I am supposed to weigh in Wednesday which is my normal weigh in day, But I might weigh in tomorrow because I started this last Monday. We'll see!
And I did take before photos I believe on Monday or Tuesday I will take them on Day 30 for the after!
Glad I am not the only one nervous about level 2 lol. Today will be day 9 of level 1. In a way I am kind of glad to switch it up so that I don't get bored, but just afraid I will get discouraged if I cannot do it. I weigh in more regularly than I probably should. I think I weigh in every few days, but that is to keep myself in check. I weighed in this morning and probably won't again until Friday. Keep up the great work!0 -
I started a little earlier but:
Age: 26
Starting Weight: 1120 -
Day 8 Level 1 completed
Nervous for level 2 in 2 days, but I'm feeling level 1 getting easier which is good, shows that my body is adapting and changing.0 -

dropped 1.6lb in the week and can see some definite body changes, so still motivated to get to the end.
good luck for the coming week.

D4L1 completed.
This was the hardest day for me so far. I fell behind this weekend. Was planning on resting Sunday but not Saturday. I think two days of rest made it way harder to get back to today. I don't think I pushed myself enough to do my best today. Lesson learned and I will avoid that as much as possible in the future. I am proud of myself for getting back to it today but I am disappointed that I didn't give it my all.
Great job to everyone who's sticking with it! I'm also scared of level 2 and not finding some of the exercises getting easier (not even sure if I'm doing the side lunge & shoulder raise properly) but trying to stay focused on level 1 and do my best. Keep up the good work ladies!0 -
A lot of people have been asking about rest days...I have heard so many different answers. Some say take a break once a week, some say take a day off between levels and others say do the full 30 days with no rest. I am taking today off (which would have been day 7). I plan to take one day of rest per week so that my muscles have a break. I think the important thing to remember is to listen to your body and do NOT make excuses to not do the workout if you are capable. I was afraid to take the day off because I don't want to fail at this, but I also felt strongly that my body needed a break. SO, I feel that the important thing is to keep going if you can, but there is no fault in needing a day of rest as long as you keep going. I think that we are all doing a great thing by eating healthy and doing this workout. I have been reading a lot of posts and it sounds like each day we are getting stronger! Keep it up!
I just really liked what you had to say here. I wish there was a "like" button.0 -

Ok. Today was Day 9 for me on Level 1. I completed it, but I REALLY struggled today!! I actually had to pause the DVD in circuit 2 during the strength and take a 30 second break. I spent the whole 30 seconds talking myslef into unpausing the DVD. I scolded myself and found Jillian's words in my head. "If you want results you have to keep going." I don't know if it was the heat or if I didn't eat enough today or if it was just plain weakness, but I felt exhausted. However, I un-paused the DVD and kept going. I missed one or two of the side lunge/anterior raises, but otherwise stuck to it.
I think this is almost as much a mental battle as it is a physical one. I want to see results and I want to meet the one goal I have never been able to reach: be physically fit.
Keep up the great work ladies!!! So glad I have the encouragement and motivation of this group!0 -

I really feel for you on this. Today was rough. I'm chalking it up to just being "Monday" but was wondering the same things " I don't know if it was the heat or if I didn't eat enough today or if it was just plain weakness". I think my mind just wasn't in the right place plus I took 2 rest days (1 unintended).
I am taking todays craptasticness and using it as momentum to do that much better tomorrow. We can do this!0 -
D8 L1 done!!!! Had to do it while watching DWTS! Just glad done!0

I was a little worn today as well. I think my confidence was too high that's why I didn't just breeze through it like I thought I would. I'm nervous about level 2 as well but I'm confident that I will be able to suceed! I'm just anxious to see the end result. I know that 30 days would go by real fast if I was just sitting on my butt! Lol! I'm ready for change. Good Luck to everyone, you all are doing an excellent job! Thank you for the motivation & informative posts.0

I feel exactly the same way! I am ready to switch it up because it does get a bit repetitive. BUT it kicks my but. I know if I am not able to do it all I will get it slowly during level 2. Today was D8 L1 for me. I did it late tonight but I got it done! I kinda didn't want to do it cause it was so late and a hectic day BUT I wanted to do it and am glad I did it!0 -

I am actually able to get through the but kicks now, it's the damn push-ups! UGH And the side squats with the arm raises yikes! .....oh and the jump rope!
I will be weighing in on Wednesday and I'm anxious!0 -
D8 L1 DONE!!!!
My knees were hurting all day today but I did it anyway (they really only hurt during the squat and press)
I am getting a bit nervous for level 2 in 2 days.
But I am able to get through more and more....those darn push-ups, and jump rope!
Proud I can finally get through the butt kicks! First round is more difficult than the last round but feeling good!
I weigh in Wednesday and I'm anxious!
I want to say way to go to all you ladies for keeping up with this!!!!0 -
Day 6 completed -actually found it harder than day 5. Still can't get through the side lunges - well its the front raises that I crap out on.0

Er, me too! Push ups are my least favourite thing ever- most of my weight is in the hip area so I doubt I'll ever be able to do a real one! I'm at the stage where I'm ready for more at the end of the 20 minutes - fitness is definitely improving! Still too scared to weigh myself - my weight hasn't moved since the beginning of July (thanks hormones) but will stick to measuring and will provide a final weigh in at the end of L3!
VERY nervous for L2 on Wednesday - but looking forward for some more Jillianisms to mimick - the L1 talk is getting a bit old now. :laugh:0 -
L1 D6 completed...Whew! When do we start level 2?0
-
Amazing how much easier this is now...thinking of bumping up my wts a bit....anyone else? Only 3 more days of level one!0

Two accomplishments for me today: Level 1 is complete with Day 10 done!! AND I got up and did it in the MORNING!!! I am NOT a morning person, so this is a huge accomplishment for me. I went to bed a little after 9PM so that also helped lol. Wish I could do that every morning! Going to start taking vitamins today to see if that helps my energy level and also going to cut back on some carbs and add more fruits and veggies!! Good luck all! Think I may even do Zumba tonight! Feeling great! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:0

D5L1 done.
Some parts seemed to be harder and some seemed to be easier today. I haven't really been sore so I keep wondering if I'm pushing myself hard enough. My ankles (mostly) and my knees (a little) have been achy & tired. All I know is that I'm dripping sweat and exhausted when I'm done. I'm able to keep up with most of the video even if I am following Anita most of the time. I think I will forever be doing push ups on my knees and using one 5lb weight with both arms on the side lunge & interior raises.0 -
Day 9 Level 1 is complete!!! Onto day 10 tomorrow and then level 2...pretty nervous for it , but hopefully I can do it!! I'm already feeling results!! Gotta keep going to get the the ultimate results!0

If you are sweating and tired you are certainly working out hard!! lol It sounds like you are doing great. I can do a few (3 or 4) regular push ups but otherwise always doing the modified. I haven't even been able to move up weight on the side lunge...3 lbs kills me on that one! You are doing great! Keep up the good work!0 -

Great job on completing day 9!! Also still very nervous about level 2!! Keep up the great work!0
