    L1D8 done! Not easy after spending most of the day cleaning the house and having Chinese for dinner... Time to chug down some water and go to bed. Lol

    Completed D3L1 I had to take few days break due to my running and shin pains.

    The first Circuit is always so hard!

    L1D7 done :0) did it with 8 pound weights.

    Sooo, what's the move you hate the most of Level 1?
    I'll start, side lunges with front arm raises ugh

    ^ same. I can never do them fully. And first round of cardio is not my fave either

    I agree - those are nasty and the arm raises don't seem to be getting any easier!

    L1D4 complete and I completed my challenge, managed to do the first batch of press ups the proper way! Nearly killed me and made the next move so hard but kept going. Going to try to reach doing both sets full press ups.

    The hardest move for me are the lunges with bicep curl, I just hate lunges!

    Even after reading all the other forums which say you really see a difference after a few days, i'm still so surprised how much of a difference I can feel after just 4 days! I'm definitely sweating less and I was able to do a 3.5k run before hand, where as the last 3 days i've just concentrated on the dvd and put cardio on the back burner. The fact I can see an improvement on my fitness just after 4 days is brilliant! x

    I've just done L1D6 and sweated more than I have since days 1 & 2! Though that probably has something to do with upping my weights from just over 3lb to 4.5lb. That was definitely tougher but felt worth it.

    My most hated move is also without a doubt the side lunges with arm raises - especially now the weights are a bit heavier! Think I must be trying to kill myself!!

    The "jump rope" of Circuit 1 looks to be easy but boy oh boy its hard to do them! Especially since she has you do them right after jumping jacks. But I can do them during the later part of the video with less struggles...its just how she grouped things in Circuit 1 to really kick butt. And boy does it!

    Skipped to level 2 today, I found the cardio moves slightly harder because they were new to me but the rest was fine. Hope I pick it up a bit better tomorrow. I stillcan't zip up my bridesmaids dress and the wedding is in 5 weeks - eek!

    Done L1D3... Still can't do cardio 1 and 3 without a pause... :/

    Now eating porridge with mixed nuts, a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of sugar... Probably not THE best post-workout food, but... :)

    I'd say it's definately worth a try - it's only 28 minutes, shorter than most gym classes... And definately feel-able!

    Did L1D9 tonight and I'm feeling good. Last day of level 1 tomorrow and I'm nervous and excited for level 2. I STILL hate push ups and jumping jacks. I don't suppose those are gone in level 2... Lol

    I've got L1D7 today to complete, shouldn't be a problem but might have to squeeze it in before I go to bed, not ideal.

    Today, seeing as it's been a week since I weighed myself, I thought I would get those scales out and do a bit of measuring....i'm EXACTLY the same! I can't seem to work this out, not only because of all the effort i've put in with doing cardio twice this week as well as the dvd but I feel so much more toned in my stomach/waist area (I even had someone comment on my "flat" stomach yesterday!) and my clothes seem to be fitting better. How is that possible if my measurements have stayed the same?!

    Whats everyone else's experience? I would love to hear that your all loosing inches :o)

    Don't worry, it wont stop me completing the challenge. I feel so much better and thats a start....

    Thinking about this now, i'm just remembered something. When I was training to run race for life 5K in less than 30 mins, for a good 2 months I didn't see much of a change but then suddenly in the 3rd month it just started to drop off. It's like my body needs to get into the excersising. I guess this might be whats happening here - it might all drop off when I get to level 3! :oD

    I weighed in today and I've GAINED 3lbs but I don't feel like I've gotten any bigger and I feel more toned, I'm just hoping I wake up one morning and I've dropped a lot.

    Last night I did D8 L1 & I took my measurements today. I've lost 1 in from my waist, 1/2 in from my bust & 1 in from my hips. I feel like my tummy is more toned and thought I had lost more from there. I've lost 2.5 lbs since I started it on August 2. Feeling great :)

    Just finished L2D1! It kicked my butt, but not as bad as my first day of level 1. I definitely prefer L2 exercises over L1. :)

    I finished L1D9 & so happy I did. lol I almost took today off because I have so much stuff to get done around the house. I have an almost 3 year old so it's hard to find time for everything. After I ironed 1/2 of the clothes I decided to let the others wait & did it. I feel so much better after I shred it ; -) How is everyone else doing?
