How heavy are the weights you're using?

I started out with 3 lbs, but I didn't have much soreness even though the last few reps on certain exercises were tough. Tomorrow is D3L1 and I plan to use 5 lbs, and possibly switch to 3's during each set if the 5's are too much.0

Jillian's 5 lb weights. Which I (and everyone else who picks them up) thinks is a downright lie bc they feel way heavier than 5 lbs! lol0

3lbs, although on one or two strength moves I could do with 5lbs, I don't seem to get much out of the chest flys with 3 lbs.0

I don't have weights (well I do, but my husband is using them), so I use Wii remotes, which are probably half a pound each. I might get some spaghetti sauce cans to use for the chest fly's though because I don't feel that one burn at all.0

3 pounds for me! I plan on moving up to 5 pounds on day 5, but I'll probably have to switch back to 3's for that side lunge/arm raise move! Ouch! haha0

I got 2 lbs because I have absolutely NO upper body strength and I'm a workout beginner. However, I'm hardly feeling any burn at all in my arms when I do chest flys or the squat-and-press, so when I have the money I may buy some heavier ones.0

I'm using 5 lb weights, which are fine for all moves but the side lunges at the end, my arms can barely move by the end, haha. So I might get a set of 2 or 3 lbers for that move.0

I use 3 lbs. I started with 5 but couldn't do the whole exercise. Also, I wore my swimsuit one day because I didn't like everything bouncing around.0

Thats what I did on one of the days I just bought a sports bra..Much better :-) I moved up to 5.5 pounds today but have my smaller weights on hand for the ones that I struggle with.0
