just done L1 day 8!!! found it a bit tough today maybe a bit run down cos I was so out of breath at the end of workout! who is still with me & on track still?

I'm still sticking with it. Missed yesterday because I had too much going on and I was so disappointed to have gotten off track
for even one day. I'll be doing today's workout tonight since I didn't get to do it this morning.
I wanted to comment because I too have been feeling a little worn out mid workout. I feel like I'm getting stronger
and that some of it is getting easier, but what's difficult is I am finding myself out of breath and my muscles wanting
to give in with some of the moves. I've been doing it daily and only taking off on Sunday. Wonder if I'm not getting
the right nutrition to keep up the energy or what. Figured it would get to be much easier as it went on, but I am
finding myself tiring out a little sooner too.

wow lost an inch off my arms and hips & stomach!!! but nothing off my legs??? ????

Well, I'm disappointed to report that I have fallen off the wagon a bit. From Thursday to Sunday I did no workout and
thanks to the boyfriend's Popeyes kick, I haven't been eating so great either.
I had a plan to continue these workouts (I'm alternating Killer Buns and 6 Week 6 Pack with 30 Day Shred daily)
for 6 weeks and hopefully see results... I'm araid that these 4 days of not working out and bad eating habits have
set me back. I'm only about 126 or so and 5'4... the number on the scale isn't really the issue... I currently wear a
size 7 and my old jeans are 2's! I was hoping to just fit into a smaller size by the end of my 6 weeks, but ...

My sister in law told me to get this protein powder (it's low cal, no fat, no sugar, no cholesterol and 90% pure protein)
and she said that if I drink it within 30 minutes after my workout , that I will maximize my workout by about 80%.
She used to workout a lot, so I trust her advice... Kinda hoping that if I add this with my continued workout, I'll see
the results I'm hoping to see. I plan to start back up again today!

On another note, the one bit of difference I have seen in the 8 Days that I have worked out is that the front part of my upper legs is definitely toning up! I KIND OF think my arms look a little thinner, but haven't measured to see, and when I tighten up my tummy, I see there's some muscles starting to build there. However still waiting for everything else to firm up. Sis in Law says that the buns and back of thighs is the last thing to tone up... I guess it takes longer?

1 week in and already not a lot of people left posting... haha...

I've been sharing my results on my newsfeed, but I guess I can share them on here as well.

Yesterday marked week three for me. Today is supposed to be the start of level 3, but I think I'll wait a few more days to start it.

My results have been really good so far though; here's what I've lost so far:

Neck: 0.75 in.
Bust: 1.75 in.
Waist: 4 in.
Hips: 3 in.
Thighs: 3 in.
Upper Arms: 0.5 (there is also a lot more noticeable muscle than there use to be)
Calves: 1.5 in.
BMI: -0.7 change
Body Fat %: -4% change
Weight: 4 lbs

to move to level 2 or not that is the question!!! today I have done L1 day 10 but I still don't think I can move onto the next level cos I can still only do Anita's way of doing the exercises! tried to do Natalie's on some of the workout I just cannot do them! did anyone else move up a level feeling like this? should I move up? ( level 2 looks scary! ) maybe I should only move up when I can do Natalie's workout moves??? I do feel fitter but not sure what to do???

I moved up to level 2 when I felt that a lot of the exercises during level 1 were too easy; meaning, I could do them for the whole time using 5 lb weights. I couldn't do all of them, but I could do a majority of them. I couldn't do the advanced move of all of them either, but I was able to do the beginner the whole time and that was enough proof for me that I was ready to move on.

You really don't have to do every level in ten days; Jillian says it in the video that you should move up when you are comfortable. So, if you don't feel ready to move on then don't; just spend a few more days on level 1 and then move up. There's nothing wrong with that. I spent an extra day on level 2 because I didn't feel comfortable moving on to level 3 quite yet.

Though, you could go ahead and try level 2 and if it's too hard, you could just move back down to level 1.

Ok! Well, I missed yesterday's workout... but got myself back on track today! (Eating habits are off and on...I was out of things to cook, so we took the easy way out and ran to Wendys. All I had was a Baked Potato with cheese... and earlier today for lunch
half a Quiznos turkey sandwich with Mustard and Mayo, Lettuce and Pickles. Been drinking sodas with my meals lately too I know that's a big no-no!

I'm figuring in order to see results, it's probably like 50% Diet and 50% Exercise... opinions on that?

Been feeling hungrier lately too. Metabolism speeding up because of the workout???

Tonight was Killer Buns & Thighs + 30 Day Shred. So, I thought "Let's see what Level 2 is like"... LOVE! I got through it
and I feel like it was a great workout! It was just that little extra challenge I was looking for (not that I was exactly breezing through Level 1 or anything, but you know). I like level 2 of Killer Buns because I felt my hamstrings working more (and that part needs a lot of toning up!).

I tried Level 2....hurt my shoulder because most of the workouts are in push-up position! Hated it....I have taken 2 days off to see if my shoulder heals otherwise I will abandon level 2!

OMG!!! that's all I have the energy to say about level 2 day 1!!! actually it was more fun than level 1 but it was hard but I made it through! I thought there was nothing worse than jumping jacks but oh yes there are PLANK JACKS!!! evil things!!! I did like the abs section! I think it was just nice to do different routines!!! how is any one else finding level 2 compared to level 1?
