day 7 complete! Jillian was really pissing me off tonight; I must have told her F*** you half a dozen times. I feel like i'm getting a cold and that also pisses me off because I go back to nursing school Tuesday. What a bunch of BS! Enough moaning and groaning. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK EVERYBODY!

Day 6 for me, as I took Thursday off (I'm giving myself one day off per week). I agree with everyone that it's definitely easier to get through, though I still can't do push-ups to save my life! Or the side lunge with arm raises... but I try every time and eventually I'll get it!

Whole week with not one missed day and that was a push all in itself. I am wondering about a few things and I would love insight. I didnt lose much this week nor the first time I did this and I kept myself on the 1200 -1300 calories. Yesterday I at over a little and saw a loss... Should you really eat more when working out to see loss? PLEASE HELP I dont want all this work to be for nothing and I cant afford to buy a host of books etc to find out a variety of answers so for a Million I am calling in my life line here....

I felt like a super hero doing Day 4 today! :bigsmile: I was able to do 10 - TEN! WOOT! - real push-ups with excellent form. Day one I was doing about two before I literally collapsed on the floor! My endurance is already increasing, also; I followed Natalie for the majority of the strength moves and was sweating a lot less (only downside to this is that I'm probably burning less calories.)

SO I'm lovin' it. Bring it on, Day 5 :drinker:

Wow, 10 "real" pushups is amazing, congrats! I finished my Day 6 today and it is definitely getting easier. (It probably also helps that I finally bought some 2lb weights and am no longer dying using 5lb weights, but who's counting? :laugh:) I'm psyched for Level 2, but I think I'm going to hang out at Level 1 for a few days longer, until I can keep up with the advanced moves a bit more reliably.

well day 6 is done for me trying to play catch up because of my calf injury. may try to double up a couple of days. good job everyone lol i dont do the side lunge i do the front lunge when she is doing that cuz it hurts so i modify it but i get through it.

I experienced the same problem! in fact I gained .2 lbs!!! I was disappointed but after re-evaluating my diet and exercise regimen..i noticed I wasnt eating the extra calories earned from the workouts. When I began to do so..i start seeing the difference!! So eat those calories up and keep going!

keep your net calories at or slightly above 1200. But also know that when starting a workout program the first 1-2 weeks you can see Weight gains from retained water and swelling as the muscles are adjusting to new work and healing.

got it done = )

Day 7 finished!

I just finished Day 7! Yay!! I REALLY did not want to do it ( or anything really) today but I 'm SO glad I did!

Well done! x

Today was day 7 for me. Wow, so much easier! I was barely even sweating at the end, for the first time. I took a day off yesterday because I have a head cold, and I think the day of rest actually did me a lot of good!
