    Day 9 Level 1 done I may start up my normal routine again when I start level 2. I feel the burn with this but I feel like I'm missing the stretching I get with my normal workout

    I started this thread and I think I am the only one that fell off :cry: Last day I did it was Saturday :cry: Need to get back going again.... not sure if i should just call it a break and keep going where i left off, or if i should start back over again- UGH :sad:

    don't give up!!! I've taken some breaks too (the only reason I'm more or less on track is because I started a few days early). doing it EVERY DAY isn't the important part - it's DOING IT and making an effort! by the end of it, even if it takes ya 60 days, will have been worth it!

    keep your chin up (:

    Oh I fell off too! The last day I did mine was Friday! Yikes! I'm thinking I'm gonna try to look at it a different way. I'm giving myself 14 days for each level to get the 10 in. That gives me 4 cheat days if I need them. I'm with the other poster...it's doing them that counts. I know I don't need the cardio but I could use the ab work and weights.

    Holy toledo, Batman, I'm shrinking!!!! I decided to take my measurements before starting day 11 and......drumroll please......I've lost a whopping 7.5 inches!!! Seriously, that's possible?! Guess so. The scale's not moving much yet, but as soon as the school year is done in 2 weeks (I homeschool our kids) I'm going to add in some running to my daily routine to try to shed some weight. After only 4 hours of sleep last night I was absolutely dreading my workout this morning, but after my wonderful tapemeasure gave me some good news, I'm excited to take on Jillian and all her craziness. I really liked the workout I got yesterday doing levels 1 and 2 so I may attempt to do that again today...no promises, though. ; )

    Day 10 of level 1 is done! I was feeling so good I jumped right into level 2!

    I think I'm going to enjoy level 2. The exercises are different and fun.

    I'm ready to take a nap now!

    I'm on Day 2 of Level 2 and loving it! I think I was getting sick of Level 1 and it seemed to be getting pretty easy. Glad I switched over 2 days early. Yesterday, I did L2D1 and followed it up with 50 minutes on the elliptical. Hopipng I can find the motivation to do that again tonight!

    I haven't measured myself since I started, but I can definitely see the difference! Especially in my stomach, which, dare I say it, is looking almost flat!!

    Is anyone else dripping sweat on the mat when they do level 2? I feel like some of the moves are easier, but with all the plank moves I guess I'm just closer to the mat and can see the evidence. I wish I had a heart rate monitor to see how much I was really burning while doing this - I track it as circuit training, but some days I wonder if I'm burning more than that.

    Yes especially with level 2 the sweats dripping off on the matt for sure...its hard but I like the different moves and I feel like im burning way more calories on level 2 I too track it as circuit training.

    I'm with you both on that one! I completed day 3 level 2 yesturday and still feel like I am dripping buckets of sweat. I feel like it is really going to start to make changes though. I feel better in the last three days than the first ten days on level one with how quickly my body is changing.

    Let's keep it up everyone!

    We are getting soooo close to halfway through and I think most people are already there or further!

    I had some unexpected things pop up yesterday so I didn't get my workout in. :angry: However, I did Level 1 and most of Level 2 today. Missed the cardio/abs of circuit three due to little kiddos needing my attention. I'm not too upset about it, though, since level 2 is seriously kicking my butt.

    Day 2 of level 2 - yikes! Really hoping it pays off cause its BRUTAL! Proud of myself for 12 days in a row though! Now if I could just be strong when it comes to food. Do fine when its just me at home but when going out to eat or at someone else place for dinner I fall off the wagon big time. :cry: Need to find some will power!!!
