Done! One day closer to level 2 :) Melissa - how is level 2 treating you?

I'm finding the workout quite comfortable now. I probably should have gone up in the hand weights too but I'm content to stay with the ones I've got.

Hope you're all having a great day

    I mixed in 5lb weights with my Day 8 Shred workout last night. I used the 5lbs weight for the majority of the exercises but switched to the 3lbs again for some moves. If you can, try it :) I am not terribly sore this morning, so I will do it again for Day 9.

    Anyone else a little nervous about level 2 LOL

    I have to say I "enjoy" the workout, I feel so good after Ive done it.

    Im very close to Natalie and moving further away from Anita. I still do the easy pushups but hey Im no muscle man LOL

    I no longer get very sore, I feel the stretch but no great pain afterwards.

    level 2 is going good for me. It's a bit different. But It showed me what level 1 did for me.. I can touch my toes and crawl down in a push up position drop down and get back up and crawl back to my toes and stand up!!! who would of thunk!!!! I was not even doing the full push up on level 1 just the baby ones.. But those actually made me able to do them.. lol.. I had a seriously injured left wrist/lower arm fracture where I had broke both of the bones in a head on collision at 55mph that the impact of the accident while holding the steering wheel actually crushed them and had to have plates and screws in till my bones grew back and then they were removed... It never was the same... But wow I am so happy with the results of being able to do a push up!!! It has brought strength back to my arm I never thought I would ever have again...

    I have such a ways to go to catch up with everyone. Had a wicked bout with food poisoning that put me in bed for the whole weekend. Monday was my first day back to the workout and it did not go as badly as I thought it would. On a good note, I definitely did not go above my calorie goal at all over the weekend (haha). Jealous of everyone heading into Level 2 soon!

    ztaprincess - Can't help being sick! We're still here for support :)

    Just finished... before I did I looked in the mirror and... well ladies, for the first time in a long time I noticed a difference. That definitely put me in the mood for some bicycle crunches (which are getting easier and easier!!)!
    I hope everyone has a fantastic day :) Drink that water!

    Lost one pound this week - but feel thinner than just a one pound loss. Now that level 1 is almost complete, I'm pretty excited to see what level 2 has in store for us!!

    Day 9 done but I still feel sore... anyone else still sore? This workout is seriously making me feel stronger (I swear I have less arm flab :) ) but I'm not so sure about the soreness.

    im also sore after day 9. Its not the same kind of sore as day 2 tho...this sore is only when i work out that i notice it. day 2 was just walking or getting up, now its when i stretch those muscles by bending over or doing the shred. day 9 was still ok for me, those thighs of mine were mighty sore by the end, but i managed to stick through the whole workout, not stopping. those side lunges with arm raises almost kill me everyday. when jillian said 5 more, i was ready to give up, but i did those 5 more till i couldnt feel my arms anymore. so excited to almost be 1/3 done, but very nervous for level two

    I haven't really any lost any weight since starting, but I just checked, and I lost an inch around my waist! I am no longer sore and I can do all the reps of each move. I can also do 3 real push-ups! I can really tell that I am getting stronger, but I am nervous about level 2.

    Those side lunges with arm raises are the hardest move for sure!

    Done! Almost ready for level 2. I'm doing the "advanced" of each move except a push up :frown: I don't know why but I still can't do regular ones! (I can do a few but not the entire rep..)
    I can't believe how weak my arms are! I really need to get some hand weights (instead of cans of veggies)...I'm sure I'd see a much bigger/quicker difference..:tongue:
