    Level 1 Day 1- DONE!!!
    Wow, I am out of shape, I sweated my butt off. I used 3lb weights. I took my measurements this morning and weighed myself. Currently at 172.4 pounds. A co-worker of mine has set me up on healthy eating plan and it has helped me lose 8 pounds. I've noticed how alot of people have got discourage weighing themselves while doing this video. So I'm going to try and not weigh myself intill day 10. When I finished my workout today I felt great, thinking "I can do 20 minutes". I did P90X before and got results, but it was too time consuming. I took a shower and used my sugar scrub from Bath and Body Works. I feel great and proud of myself. Just finished a yummy grilled salmon that my husband made, with a little side salad. While he had Rice a Roni that is loaded with carbs. Which I love also, but said no!

    What a great feeling all together of what I accomplished today. And just want to shout out to everyone else, Great Job- we all made it through DAY 1 !!!!

    Day 1 Done.

    Is everyone going to workout straight through? I was planning on utilizing some break days and finish closer to halloween time.

    I did it using 3 lb weights and it was pretty difficult for me. And on that note I noticed people saying they' were using 5 lbs. Wow! good job!

    This scares me. I had been using 1 lb walking weights because that's all I had. Went to Wal-Mart at lunch today to pick up 3 lb weights, all they had was one. This is the 2nd Wal-Mart I've been to that only had 1 (had I known I'd have picked up one at both of them LOL)... so I picked up 5 lb weights. I'm surely going to die tonight.

    Finished my day 1 reboot. Was able to use my 3 lb weights for the whole workout. Don't laugh but I used to switch to the 1 lb weights for the squat/press and the side lunges with anterior arm raises.

    I happened to find my weights at TJ Maxx. All the walmarts that I went to had horrible selections for workout equipment and I happened to be in a TJ Maxx and found a little wall of workout equipment that had everything I needed.

    Level 1 Day 2 Done!
    I still needed some 5 second rests here and there. But I'm going to try tommorrow to go straight through. The 3 lb weights are sure doing some damage though. My shoulders, front peck area is killing me. I could barely do the girly pushups today. Way to go ladies that are done for the day. And for the ones who haven't...get your butt going!

    Well, I just started today but I'm only one day late so I'll join you!!
    I'm actually looking to lose 10lb by Oct 17 and I'm 3.2lb down so far. I'm hoping this group will help me actually finish the 30DS this time!

    So...
    L1D1 done :)

    L1D7 finished.

    and like always when I start going to the gym and working out. Instead of loosing weight I have gained a lb. And I know it isnt what I am eating. And before when this happened to me I was eating my exercise calories back. But this time, since it is such a low calorie burn *only 200 instead of the usual 450-600 I usually burn at the gym* I decided to experiment and NOT eat them back and still gained a lb. When I finish level 1 I am going to take measurements again and see if at least I loose inches. It does seem like the little spare tire is disappearing. *sigh* is frustrating when the scale doesn't move though.

    I've heard that your muscles can hold onto water in order to repair themselves. That could be all that is :)

    Daughter and I finished L1D1 last night and we barely made it thru the video. My tummy muscles are feeling the ache this morning. Because it's a constant, non-stop work out, it seems much tougher than the P90X videos we've tried.
    Looking forward to reaching Day 10 and see what changes we have made.

    L1D2 Done. The 3 lb weights don't seem to be enough for the chest rises (I think that's what their called - the ones when you lay on your back and raise your arms above you). I don't know if I want to spend teh extra money for just one exercise.

    Is it the chest flies? I was actually thinking the same today. Last time I tried 30DS they definitely seemed enough for everything, but I must have gained some strength from somewhere LOL as they seem too light for that particular part now.

    I'm late but just finished day 1. It was challenging but good!

    I've an 80s fitness instructor outfit to wear. Think cheesy Jane Fonda gear.

    Need to tone up a bit before going out in public in it!
