    Just finished day one! Got through it without any problems, but I do hate pushups!

    I did day 1 today! I couldn't keep up with it completely. I need motivation!!! Does anyone know how to add it to your exercise log?

    i found a formula somewhere that apparently Jillian Michaels herself said to use somewhere on a website.....multiply your weight by 3.267. That gives you the number of calories you burn in an hour. Divide that number by 3 to give you the 20 minutes worth. Not sure how accurate it is but thats what i'm going by

    Got through--and my butt is thoroughly kicked. Or maybe not, since I wasn't able to kick my own butt!

    I kept up with the arms and only put the 2 lb weights down for one set of lunges. I couldn't do the bicycle abs--my legs just wouldn't listen to me--but I did do crunches during that time. Pushups killed me--I think I'll do wall ones for a few days to get myself up to it--at least for the second round of them.

    For the legs, though, I spent a lot of time walking in place. And I NEED to get a good sports bra. The hardest part of the jumping jacks was that I'm not held in place well enough.

    But I did it. And I didn't stop for more than a few seconds at any point.

    YAY for all of us!

    I swear by the Enell bra... it's pricey ($65) but the one bra I own that I don't have to "double up!" definitely worthwhile :)

    Day 1 done! I was happy to find that a lot of the moves are ones that I had previously done in No More Trouble Zones.

    I couldn't get through the second set of cardio. It was so quick with no breaks, by the time jumping jacks came up again I had to stop. Next time I will try to push through. I do think it is motivating to think that it will just get easier and easier as we go. So the hardest day is done, think about that as motivation. Yay!

    I had to take little mini breaks now and then too. Especially some of the cardio. I am certainly feeling the effects tonight though. My abs are saying WTF???!!!!

    Thanks--there's a store not far from here that carries them (Google is my friend), so I'm going to go tomorrow morning. I ordered something from oneStopPlus, but it won't be here for a while--and there's no way I can do jumping jacks or butt kicks without something!

    Here is Aussie it is day two officially but I started a day early and although i am in pain I was able to make it through the entire level one with 3 stops for 2 seconds and of course doing wall push ups. But I can already see definition in my arms.. it is crazy:happy:

    Well, the Enell didn't work for me, unfortunately. I was prepared to pay the $65 for it! I'm apparently a 4.5 in their sizing--the 5 fit in the band was too big in the bust and it was a workout to get the 4 fastened--it was too tight in the band and just a bit tight in the bust. I bought a Goddess instead--which seems as if it'll hold the girls in well.

    I really appreciate your pointer to Enell, though--it's what got me to the right store, which I had never even heard of.

    I'm glad you found something that works for you! Thanks for the tip about the Goddess, definitely going to check it out :)
