    Day 3 Level 1. I can't quite get through the raises on the side lunges and I have to do knee push-ups half way through that second set. And my weight are # 5 with the exception of side lunges. I only use 2# there. Perhaps by the time I get through lvl 1, I wong have to modify.

    Hi, I'm in! Started L1D1 yesterday and not feeling too bad....mainly hurting above my waist.....looking forward to my second session today. I'm trying to combine it with two or three runs per week and watching my calories.....oh, how I'd love to lose 2 stones! Oh, by the way, you can also get each day's session on youtube!!

    Finally got round to starting today. Not as bad as I was expecting. I can already feel it though! I have to do modified push-ups (hopefully by the end I'll be able to do the full version). I'm continuing to go to the gym most days of the week, do yoga class twice a week (and 45 mins on the days I don't go to class), and pilates at least three times a week. I'm going to take pictures tonight so I can see my progress by the end.

    I'm on Level 1 Day 8 today, and I'm determined to complete it without missing a day! I have a 20-month-old daughter who has been having sleep issues lately, so I feel your pain. You can do it!!!

    Today is day 5 of level 1!!!! Is anyone else doing 10 days per level?
    I am in LOVE. It's fantastic. I was so out of shape and I already feel changes after 5 days.
    DON'T LOOK AT THE SCALE GUYS! Changes really are happening!!!!

    I started off with 3 lb dumbells and have already progressed to 5 lb ones.
    I hope to increase that to 8 lbs in level 2 and then 10 lbs in level 3!

    Anyone else trying for the same goals???

    Try to do the full series on the 5lb and then re-do it with the 8 or 10lbs. Sometimes we overextend ourselves when we start. Even the idea of doing the same exercise regimen every day requires dedication and it is a mental exercise. Instead of increasing the weight, try to improve on the technique. Then you can do more videos from youtube. Look at the Befit channel, they post a new video every week. they have bootcamp, zumba, thighs, yoga, anything you want.

    thanks for the advice! I completely agree and will do. If you knew me, well I try to do too much and then ultimately give up because I can't meet my expectations. So this time- I will def go for better form and technique and watch the magic happen from the inside out. I needed that! Thank you.

    How is everyone logging this in their exercise diary? I'm going for 20 mins general circuit training.
    I'm feeling particularly achy today but I pushed through it again - although today I followed Anita not Natalie!!

    Count me in! Just finished L1D1! I'm praying it gets easier like a lot of you say! I about died but pushed through it. I've made a deal with myself to complete this and then do the 90 day total body revolution!

    I did day 3 yesterday and this morning I feel less sore than after day 1 and 2. The muscles are maybe getting used to the effort or our brain is! ^^

    I would love to join you how does it work I also need some push in my life. I have been going to the gym taking combat when I get finished I feel fantastic. I am watching everything I eat but my weight has not budged. 3 weeks now of diet and exercise.
    Wanted to ask have you had a thyroid test for your tiredness.

    Dont get discouraged... you are building muscle thats why the scale isnt budging. I bought jillisn michaels dvd thru target, others get it from you tube. Its a quick results kinda program.

    Just finished L1D6 and then did 30 mins on my elliptical! I'm making through it easier except for the push-ups! Can do about 3-4 then I go to the wall and do wall push ups for the rest.

    Wall pushups! Why didn't I think of that?!? I can do about 4 knee ones before I start dying!

    Finished L1D9, terrified to start L2! Does everyone else imagine her on the recieving end of those punches :angry:

    But what I really came by to ask is how often are you guys taking your measurements? Normally, I'd do once a week but wondering if maybe I should wait till the end- I don't want to see little progress and get discouraged. Thoughts???

    L1D2 done! It was slightly easier today but still hard! I still had to take a few breaks during cardio. I just feel like my heart rate is already pretty high from doing the weights and cardio takes all I have. I'm keeping at it because I know it will get easier.

    I've also going to try really hard not to weigh till the endo the 30 days. I am always obsessive about constantly weighing myself. I'm hoping this keeps me from getting discouraged and I think not knowing and wanting to see a loss at the end will motivate me to do my best with both the diet and exercise.

    So I am on Level 1 day 6. I feel okay.. I get kind of dizzy between the laying on the ground doing the chest presses and getting up quickly to do the side lunges (which are my weakest link)........ but other than that I feel the changes definitely beginning to take place. I also made a tiny change, WELL 2.....I am doing planks in 30 second intervals or for the whole 1 minute if I can hold it LOL in place of the regular crunches... I find it burns way more than the traditional ones... and I am incorporating an ACTUAL jump rope for the cardio invisible ones, only because I actually like jump roping and I'm really good at it..but I follow Jillian besides that LOL.
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL! ADD ME SO WE CAN SHARE THE JOURNEYS , I'm still kinda new.
