    I woke up with the touch of the stomach flu this morning but I did it anways. It was tough but I was expecting it to be a lot worse. When are you going to try level 2? I'm thinking maybe next week??

    I started my level 2 today ( 2 days earlier than the recommended 10 days for each level) and I gotta say, I am was whopped.
    I normally log it under circuit training and according to the data base for 20 minutes it gives me 185 calories burned.
    Have fun and I am glad you started it, it does work!:flowerforyou:

    not quite in ... i did it yesterday and today my arms hurt too much (from the pushups in level 1) to do it again so i walked for an hour and a half. but i'm hoping i can do it tomorrow, no matter how i feel i'm going to try! it's really tough for me though, i'm pretty darn out of shape.

    Welcome to the group! Has anyone taken measurements? I"m going to take mine today. I have read a few posts and they say to take measurements with 30 Day Shred instead of weighing becuase you are gaining so much muscle with it.

    I did level 1 today. I have had this dvd for aout 2 weeks but I haven't been consistent with it. This dvd is so tough to me, when I first did it, I kid you not, I could not stretch out my left arm for 2 days. I am getting better with the push ups so I am happy about that. I also have her banish fat boost metabolism dvd as well. I live on the 3rd floor so its hard to do this without making too much noise. I try to do it when my neighbors are at work since my work schedule is different from theirs.

    I can suffer with you! I want to get healthier and look better in my clothes!

    Welcome newbies! The more the merrier! So far I haven't been sore in my arms but my quads and *kitten* are killing me. Right now I'm using 3 pound weights. I'm thinking about bumping it to 5 lbs but I'm worried how much legs will react since their killing me with 3 lbs. Maybe I will alternate weights depending on the excerise. How much weight is everyone else using? I read online that you should see results within 5 days of doing video, assuming you are watching what you eat. Jillian is a big advocate of clean eating. If you don't know what that is google it, it's very interesting. I hope I can gather enough willpower to incorporate clean eating soon.

    I don't have on demad so i'm not sure about that. I got mine at target for 9 and I know you can get it on amazon as well. Just do the video once a day for 30 days working from level one to level three and post here as you like. It's mainly about supporting ad motivating each other!.

    I'm using 3 pound weights right now. Debating going up to 5lbs. I'm the opposite, I'm sore in the arms, legs burn for a while after workout, but don't get sore. Well....only when going down stairs are they a bit sore....lol!

    The move where you lunge to the side and bring your arms up to eye level kills me! That move is the only reason why I have not gone up to 5lbs. I have thought about maybe just using the 3 pound ones during that one particular exercise.

    Morning

    Hows it going? I enjoyed it yesterday and Im not sore today. I cant do it today though but will walk dogs and be back on track tomorrow.

    I still havent done measurements! I think I should but need a tape measure. My weight hasnt moved in a couple of weeks, at least it isnt going up!
