    Level 1 Day 7 down. I have started incorporating heavier weights into my back rows and chest flies this week to as my light weights seemed a little too light. Today I am focusing on getting back into the habit of tracking my calories as I have been lax about capturing them here and only doing it in my head.

    So yesterday i was up to day 5 in level 1 and i measured myself... so far i've lost 1.5 inches off the belly flab, 0.5 in off my hips/bum and 1.5 in off my thighs!!

    Never in a millions years thought that 5 days worth of exercising would have such dramatic results. definitely keeping going and can't wait to see more results. Since starting the shred and continuing my calorie counting etc. i have managed to lose 6lbs! :) Very happy bunny here!

    Got through day 3 of Shred Level 1, but have a question for you morning exercisers.

    How do you get up in the morning? How do you make yourself get out of that warm comfy bed.

    I am definitely a lover of sleeping in, since my work is only 10 minutes away from my house. But, by the time I get home I'm exhausted and keep pushing back the workout until 7, 8, or 9pm at night.

    I'm going to try to get up in the mornings and do the 30 day Shred and do the other cardio (dvd/treadmill) directly when I get home.

    I'm thinking of putting a spray bottle by my bed, so when my alarm goes off, I should reach for it and spray myself in the face. That should wake me up, right? LOL!!

    Mornings are just not possible for me. It takes me a good 1-2 hours to be fully awake. Getting out of my cozy bed is soooo painful and feels like the worst thing in the world at the time, lol.

    I would be curious to know if anyone has actually had success with turning into a morning person??

    I don't think I can claim to have become a morning person, but I've become much more of one than I ever have been. I used to go to work still half asleep, and sleep in until 11 or 12 on my days off, but in the past few months I resolved to wake up earlier every day, and now I don't even have to set an alarm to wake up at 8 or so on my days off (which is as early as I want to deal with if I don't have to go to work!)
    I didn't actually have to change very much, except most nights I go to sleep earlier. I don't know why it's working now and not every other time in my life that I've tried to change my sleeping habits, but I'm not going to complain!

    I am a morning exerciser (and I used to HATE working out in the morning, would always go after work). It helped me that I started working out with my sister or a friend sometimes. If you have someone you have made plans with to workout it is a definite motivator to get your butt out of bed!

    I found this link of funny/ helpful ways to transition to morning workouts:

    Also, I started 30 day shred for the first time this month! I am doing it three days a week and doing cardio (usually running) the other three. Just did day 4 of Level 1. WOW was I sore after day 1 and 2!!

    OK, today was my first day...D1L1... was excited it was only 20 minutes long (lol)!

    My starting stats:
    SW: 185.0
    NK:13 1/4"
    B:41"
    W:43 1/4"
    H:49 1/4"
    Arms:15"
    Thighs: 25 1/4"

    I am still doing my usual exercises too, so hoping for some awesome results! My goal is to not have to do girl push ups by the end.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    Today was my first day of level 2, whew!

    I measured myself so I could keep track of my progress, so here goes:

    CW: 183.9
    NK:13"
    B:40 1/2"
    W:42 1/2"
    H:48"

    Just did Level2 Day 1! It was tough! And I have to admit that I took a lot more breaks than I would like, and substituted the last set of plank jacks for regular jumping jacks...BUT I made it through the workout.
    I'm so tired!

    Today is L1D10 but I felt a bit discouraged after weighing myself this morning (still haven't done the shred for the day). I weigh about the same AND even went up in fat %. I don't get it. I don't know if I need to add even moer cardio when I already add walking/running in the mix some days... any advice anyone?

    Day 6 all done and dusted. Only noticed very slight changes in the scales but the biggest change is how that weight looks on me now. I'm more toned and muscular, because muscle is denser than fat my weight hasn't changed but the flab is definitely on the way out and it's staying way out!!!

    I'm in! I'm starting later than all of y'all, but at least I'm starting, right? LOL! I've had the DVD prob 1 1/2 yrs, and never completed it. That will be a new goal of mine! I will check in daily!

    I am amazed! It's only day 4, and my stomach and legs are already looking quite a bit tighter. It's inspiring me to eat healthier as well to enhance my progress. Pushing through the workout is sooo tough for me still, but I cannot wait to see the final result!!

    I ended up taking a rest day yesterday (the first in a week) and got a pedicure instead... talk about heaven in that massage chair LOL. I did Level 1 Day 8 this morning and feeling pretty good. I am not sure I am seeing much in the way of physical changes yet, but my staimina and muscle strength has definitely improved! Keep up the hard work all!

    I am finding the push-ups easier which is my biggest struggle.

    Just finished level 2 day 4. Totally exhausted, I did more of the advanced moves today. Omg it's hard!!! Jillian is a killer! My stamina from level 1 is so amazingly different, I couldn't do all the jumping jacks and jump ropes in level 1 I'm a pro at level 2's cardio lol!
