    L1D8 for me too. I did something to my right shoulder and it's killing me when I have to lift anything so I'm worried about getting through D9 tomorrow with weights. Hopefully, it feels better in the A.M.

    It's pretty difficult to gain muscle while in a calorie deficit. Any weight gain is most likely water retention from using your muscles.

    thanks for the info very much helpful

    Hi all, I am on Level 1 Day 6 today. I'm 5' 7" and 147lbs and would really like to get down to 135-138lbs in time for our honeymoon in June - will doing the 30 day shred alone and eating around 1200 cals a day help me get there or do I need to add in extra cardio? so looking forward to level 2, ready for a change!

    done day 1 of level 2 last nite - didnt get a chance to check in.
    it was well hard but maybe not as bad as i had it in my head that it was gonna be. although i hate the pendulum/squat/curls thing and also the squat and v-raises. was certainly wrecked by the end of the 3rd circuit! but all for a good cause! lol

    L1D8 done and in the books
    Unfortunately I weighed in this morning and gained a pound :explode: Uggg I know the whole muscle weighs more than fat bit . . . but seeing that scale go up frustrates the hell out of me and makes me think "why am I getting up at 5:30 in the morning to GAIN weight?!"
    Thanks for the vent . . . . I was already thinking about doing Ripped in April would love to join you guys

    A honeymoon, how exciting! Congratulations!!! I'm sure you can drop 10 lbs by June and may not even need to go down to 1200 calories a day.

    D9L1 finished, 1 more day!!!

    I finished L1D9 last night and will be completing L1D10 this evening! I am so excited for a change! Although I hear L2 is pretty hard I am excited for Jillian to say something else... and I know it'll be good to try some new moves to keep my calorie burning up! I will be weighing and measuring tomorrow before I start L2. Good luck ladies!

    Eat your calories back you will have extra calories that you can eat when working out you will need the energy, just eat good stuff nuts and peanut butter for protein. Have a salad with your meals etc.

    Good luck and congrats

    OK I did Day 3 Level 2./ I had two days off in between, not on purpose, but we had people here and it was easy to miss. I did today with no weights. My next and shoulders were killing so bad after 2 days that I said, this is not OK. Muscles are OK to be sore, but my shoulder and neck... that made me a bit nervous.

    I cannot take days off to nurse sore joints. But today, without the weights my next seems OK. I think I'll go another day without weights for L2 then try to add back in.

    L2D1 complete! I have to say there were a few moves that kicked my butt, but I really like a lot of the moves better than level 1. Maybe I was just sick of those lol. I definitely see a change in my endurance though. I never would have been able to do level 2 when I started level 1

    Completed L2D1.....I am so glad L1 is behind me. I was getting fed up of those jumping jacks. I can stand the cardio impact in L2.....Regardless of all the sore muscles and joints....I really like Jillian.

    L2D1 done. The plank moves are tough, but I actually really like the walk-out push-ups :) I feel like level 2 goes by so much faster!

    Day 4 Level 2./ I did today again with no weights. My next and shoulders were killing so bad after 2 days that I said, this is not OK. Muscles are OK to be sore, but my shoulder and neck... that made me a bit nervous.
