    Day 13 done - much more motivated today and those side planks!! Hah! Easy.

    Gonna blast through the next 8 days solid and then have the next w/e off as I'm away. Bit worried as I'll've had a 2 day gap before going up to L2....still, that can be my excuse for finding it hard!

    Got loads of compliments yesterday when I saw some friends I hadn't seen for a couple of months, really motivated me this morning! One woman couldn't believe I'd only lost 7 lbs since seeing her,s he said it looked loads more...ty JM for your kick *kitten* toning exercises!

    Keep at it folks - we're doing great!

    So I've fallen a little behind, but i'm ok with that.

    Day 11 done today. I really really didn't want to, which is why i didn't do it until 11.30pm BUT once i got started I found it was the first time was able to do everything confidently even the planks!!, which made me feel better about it :)

    I've been alternating with c25k but am trying to do it 6w6p at least 5 times a week but if i go for a run and then dont feel like doing another workout i'm not beating myself up. as long as i do something :)

    Glad to see everyone doing so well, I'll have to go back to the beginning of the thread as i've forgotten how long we're meant to do level 1 for ha ha.

    Have a good weekend everyone. I've got a gig tomorrow so will have that as my rest day but back into it on sunday :)

    Just done D15! Whoop - can almost smell the fear from L2 just round the corner!

    Much better than yesterday - note to self: Don't do gardening and stupid biking before JM! She MUST come first!

    LOL Jillian definitely comes first! Still, that was very brave of you! LOL

    I finished my nine months maternity leave on Friday and start a new job on Monday. Somehow I think my exercise regime is going to go out the window for the first week! LOL

    well its week 3 tomorrow so im gonna start level 2. ive done level 1 5 times a week and im getting tired of it too now

    Did D17....watched L2! LMAO! Oh dear God....

    Right, I am feeling that I'm no longer putting in as much effort to L1 any more. By tomorrow I hope to have done L1 18 times in the last 3 1/2 weeks, so I was thinking that as of Thursday I might start on L2...

    This will help because I am away this weekend and if I did L1 for 21 days, I would finish Friday, which would mean that I would have 2 days off and then start L2. After my last little break I struggled with L1, so was dreading stopping and then starting on L2 (which looks a killer btw...)

    So I think I will start L2 on Thursday, if it is as aarrggghhh as it looks, I might revert on Monday and complete my L1 before switching back! I'm just thinking that I'm starting to lose my motivation with this, so need to change it up a little.

    Debi, did you do L2 today?

    Soooo.....after my zumba class didn't happen (I biked there but no1 showed up...not even the teacher- pah!) I came home and on a whim decided to give L2 a go....

    ...omg! Completely kicked my butt! It was sooooo hard!

    Still, glad I tried it, it really focussed me- tbh I think I lost my motivation a bit with L1....need a new challenge and sum new JM lines to learn! X

    sorry but ive not started week 3, im absolutely exhausted. think ive been doing too much for the last 6 weeks without a days rest so im taking a break from my evening exercise. im up at 5am for the gym everyday then work through till 5pm, travel home to clean house, cook dinner, prepare everything for the next day and then workout and i seriously think im pushing myself too far so im just gonna do my home workout on a weekend and days off work :ohwell:

    Well done for listening to your body! The rest will help you, I think.

    I just did L2D2...it's tough. Doesn't help that I'm really congested atm, breathing is hard enough without having to time it with my moves! Kept having to stop because my mouth was so completely dry. Glad I get a break this weekend, although if tomorrow is as hard as today, I will rest Friday too.

    The daft thing is i feel so guilty not doing it although my workout at the gym burns a min of 650 cals 5 days a week lol and suppose ive felt a bit let down after 3 weeks of 6w6p and lost nothing in weight or inches really :angry:

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry for not checking in sooner, I've been checking in on my phone which wont let me get onto the message boards (which is silly)

    Day 13 ( I think) done today.

    If I had to be honest, I'm not enjoying this one as much as my previous JM work outs (30 day shred and 30 day slim down)
    I dont know what it is, possibly the length of time you spend on each level.... maybe i'm just bored on level one, and I was a little relieved to see I wasn't the only one.

    but also not seeing as major results as with the other workouts, which isn't being helped by the lack of motivation I'm experiencing. endless cycle i guess :) but I like to assume i'm slowly developing rock hard abs....they're just trapped under some fat :P

    I think I'm going to do level 1 every day until monday, when I will start level 2 and i'm hoping the change will boost my motivations.


    Ok thats the end of my whinge :)

    Keep being awesome guys

    Starting measurements:


    Weight: 64.6kg / 142.4lbs
    Waist: 69cm / 27"
    Hips: 84.5cm / 33"
    R thigh: 57.5cm / 23"
    L thigh 57cm / 23"
    Round bum: 94cm / 37"
    Under bust: 76cm / 30"


    Measurements 04/06/11:
    Weight 63.5kg / 139.7lb
    Waist: 69.5 cm / 27.2"
    Hips: 82.5 cm / 32"
    R thigh: 56cm / 22.5"
    L thigh: 55 cm / 22"
    Round bum: 94 cm / 37"
    Under bust: 73cm / 28.5"

    Measurements 16/06/11:
    Weight: 63.2kg / 139.2lb
    Waist: 68cm / 26.8"
    Hips: 80cm / 31.5"
    R thigh: 55.5cm / 21.9"
    L thigh: 54 cm / 21.3"
    Round bum: 91.5cm / 36"
    Under bust: 73cm / 28.7"

    So far, overall loss:
    Weight: -1.4kg / 3.1lb
    Waist: -1cm / 0.4"
    Hips: -4.5cm / 1.8"
    R thigh: -2cm / 0.8"
    L thigh: -3cm / 1.2"
    Round bum: -2.5cm / 1"
    Under bust: -3cm / 1.2"

    So, yeah, I'm pretty pleased so far!

    However, the weight loss happened 2 days after I last logged my measurements and then it went up again :-( it's taken until today to come back off :-(

    I think the fact that it's all abs and core work is probably slowing down progress, but I have seen better results on here so far than on the 30DS. I wonder if it's because I have more energy to supplement it with more cardio?

    On the 30DS, I lost a few inches all over, but only 2lbs and that was on level one and then I plateaued for the remainder of the programme! So, although I found L1 of this quite boring at the end, I'm happy that I'm seeing results!

    Keep going folks, we'll get there! x

    becka63 Posts: 712 Member
    Yeah - it seems to get my shoulders more, can't get those 'repeater knees' after doing low to highs....but I do feel it in my abs on the double crunches and hauler man hold....yeuch.

    Anyway, having a break from it this weekend as I'm away, my thighs are very grateful! Back at it on Monday - great work everyone!

    Awwwww thanks curleesam :flowerforyou: ive had 1 week off from 6w6p and the rest has done me good. Still sticking in with my gym in the morning and started back on my weights and thouroughly enjoying it :smile:

    Back on it this morning! L2 D4 done...was a bit of a killer after 3 days off, but was glad for the rest I have to say!
  • becka63
    becka63 Posts: 712 Member
    Did L2 D5 today - my knees were sore yesterday so rested :-(

    Is anybody else still doing this? It seems to have gone awful quiet on here....

    Just wanting other opinions on L2 really... although I think I'm getting a better workout here, I did enjoy L1 more. It's all the moves with the weights (ok, the low to highs and the repeater knees!) that KILL me on here!
