    hey everyone, sorry I haven't been on to post. But I have just finally finished level 2 and I am getting ready to start level 3 tomorrow. I used my heart rate monitor and it said I burned 298 calories. Much more than mfp says I would burn. I didn't do any modifications or take any breaks. I can't wait to see if I can burn that many calories in level 3.

    L1D5 DONE! :drinker: Woot Woot :drinker: Now that my 5k is over, I'm thinking about going to every other day for shred. And maybe, just maybe, I can go a week straight later on :noway:

    So I decided to show my mom what the video was about and then she asked if I'd start the dvd over for her and I to do together, I couldn't tell her no I just did it, so I did it AGAIN for 'day 6 level 1' ..I know I'll be achy tomorrow...

    Nice!

    I think I've come to terms with the fact that the dumb scale IS NOT going to show me what I want until I'm done with this program. When my muscle pain finally subsided from L1, I moved to L2 and now it's back, which means more lovely water retention (not to mention I'm creeping up on TOM!) Oh well, at least my jeans are falling off. :laugh:

    I am still here!!! I am on L2 I think like Day 4 or 5 a little behind schedule but I am going to start it again in October really I see this dvd is something that can be incorporated in whenever you want a good 20 min workout! I can't wait to see who our BIGGEST LOSERS are for September though! Keep it up everyone! :bigsmile:

    Day 9 in the books ;) I think I sweated more today than any of the others because I find myself pushing harder, going lower, and digging a little deeper. Feels great!! Tomorrow is day 10 which will still be level 1, and then Friday I will attempt level 2 :)

    Keep up the great work all!!

    I am currently on L2 but I don't feel like I am giving it 100% some of the things in level 2 are really hard so I end up modifying the move but then I don't feel like I am really doing enough. Oh well I know I just got to keep doing it! I am hoping to get it together over the next couple days and try out L3 on saturday. :-)

    I'm liking level 3 a lot... Each level seems to get shorter and shorter (though I know they're not...).

    No time to exercise today, but since if I had I would have convieniently ended on the last of the month, I'm going to stick to that. Maybe I'll do it twice one day, who knows. :P

    Hi, I'm planning on starting the 30 day shred tomorrow...I have some questions you guys might be able to help me with:
    1. Is it very hard? I'm exercising every day - just completed EA Active Sports 6 Week Challenge on the Wii (on "medium") but as this is a Jillian Michaels workout I'm just wondering if I'm going to die :wink:
    2. Will I need any equipment? Weights, etc.?
    3. Did you get any results yet?

    Actually, can't wait now to start! :happy:

    I put it on to look at it as I was sore from circuit training yesterday and ended up doing level 1 !!! I'm glad she wasn't shouting at me as I really wasn't in the mood to be bossed around.

    jumping jacks were hard and all the bum kicks and jumping rope thing I had to hold my belly so I could jump - how yuck is that :(

    Ive been inspired by this thread so Ive recorded mesurements and taken before photos

    wish me luck

    I've missed two days too. Might have to miss another today, I just can't seem to shake this illness I've gotten from my lovely children!

    Holy flippin' plank bombs!! :noway: Jillian is trying to kill me!! :laugh: But I'm 11 days in total and day 1 level 2 in the books..:drinker: I could do some of the plank moves due to lack of traction on my floor so I just held the plank move itself. All in all, great workout, I was literally dripping sweat onto the floor. :drinker: Now, lunch time :)

    I still dripped with sweat today, but the planks weren't so bad this time around! L2D2 complete :)

    Hey guys,
    I'm back! Fell off for a little bit, but I am ready to start again. I figured since it had been a week, I would start over.

    I do have a question for those of you that can help me out. I had a cyst removed from the top of my wrist a month and a half ago. I cannot do push-ups, bending my wrist that way and then putting my weight on it, is just not possible. It may sound stupid, but I have to do them the girl way and use fists instead of flat palms to the ground. It works, but I am not sure if I getting the benefits of a regular push-up.

    What do you think?
    Also for those of you that are on level 2, do you think that it will be hard for me as well?

    Lauren

    I know I am late to the party <grin> but have you tried push up bars? The are suggested for people who find push ups tweak their wrist. It makes the push ups a little harder but may be a life saver for you.

    Just my 2 cents ;)

    Just completed Day 3 of Level 2. I find the planks are pretty easy for me, but that whole squat with ' v ' raises thing gets me everytime. :grumble: Hope you all are still truckin' along!! I'm taking measurements Wednesday morning (which means I'm officially halfway :noway: Tuesday evening)...as soon as I get my measurements, I'll be sure to post them :drinker: Enjoy the rest of the weekend!! :heart: Bru
