    Sooo frustrated this morning. I just weighed myself and I'm up 2.5 lbs from yesterday. I'm assuming it's (at least mostly) water weight, but that's so discouraging when you're just getting started! I did the Shred (late) last night, and it was hard! I didn't do it as well as I should have because I didn't know what she was talking about a lot of the time, so I had to keep stopping to look at the TV. Today should be better because I'm familiar with everything. I'm sore today (I've been sore since I started working out a week or so ago), but I've got StrollerFit this morning, and I'm planning on doing the Shred when / if DD takes a nap. Good luck to everyone on day 2!!

    Hey hey...don't get too frustrated...Jillian does say in level 1 that it could take up to 5-7 days to start feeling a difference.!! As for the weight.....I definitely look at my scale numbers daily, however my mother (being a nurse) ALWAYS reminds me you can be up OR down 5 pounds a day.....depending on how much water you took in and what you ate.....I am no health care professional...I just know from personally experience. I had surgery about 5 years ago and had to loose weight afterwords (breast reduction). I lost 56 pounds......THEN I went to University.....freshmen 15 was more like freshman 30 over 5 years of University.......anywho I am always here to help! If you like to read check out the book called "THE LAST 15" I am reading it now and feeling very encouraged!! you could also try "Cracking the fat loss code" or "eating clean"!!!!!
    message me whenever!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker:

    oh PS dont forget to stretch!!! lol as I mentioned before I work at a before and after school program. I do C.A.T.C.H. (coordinated aproach to childrens health) with the children....and I ask them " what is the FIRST thing EVERY animal you know of does when it wakes up??".....the answer is STRETCH!!! haha they love crazy facts!! I truly believe in streching in the morning even if I am not working out afterwords!!!:bigsmile: :drinker:

    Ugh I screwed my neck up yesterday so I figured it wouldn't be a wise decision to work out :cry:.

    ok I got day 1 of 30 done. :) Just got done a few mintues ago and its 12:45am lol but I got it done!! Have 2 kids sick with strep throat so I had very little time to work out today. I haven't gotten my measurements done yet either. lol but hope everyone had a great first day!!!!

    I dunno if we've already talked about this or not but are we doing it for all 30 days or are we taking like 1 day off a week or 2 days off a week or what??

    good luck everyone!!!

    i also did shred late (for me) last night. i got home from teaching dance at like 9pm and my bf and his friend were downstairs drinking and before i could hang out i ran upstairs and shredded. i kinda felt like a dork! but i wanted to make sure i got it in! i feel like i'm stuck doing it at night now cuz there's not enough time before the following morning for me to recover! oh well. nighttime it is i guess.

    I'm an early bird over here, hehe. Day 2 is done for me.

    I'm going to take at least one day off per week because I'm a believer in rest day.

    Day 2 is done! I'm pretty pumped, because I actually did the advanced version of all the exercises, including the pushups!

    I'm not planning on taking a rest day. Of course, if my muscles need it, I will take a break.

    I'm using 5 pound weights. But I don't think I could have if i wouldn't have already been using them to do turbo sculpt for a while. Sometime I wish I was using 3 pound weights but I only have 5 pound ones dang it haha :)

    I learned a few months ago that sore muscles actually go away with cardio :laugh:. Go figure.

    3 lbs but I plan to do without on the days I have resistance training, especially if I end up with only 1 day off per week.

    I'm using 5lbs, but wish I had something in between that and my 10 lb weights... like 7 or something. Thankfully I'm not sore today, but I had also done 4 days of this, then took 2 days off before starting over yesterday. The first few days, I my arms were more sore than my legs. I'm thinking I might move to level 2 in 5-7 days instead of 10. We'll see how it goes.

    I was pretty psyched when I was able to do the push ups today as well!! I was only 1 away from how many the ladies do on the DVD....
    as for weight most of the time I use 3 IBS however it is not enough for the chest flys so I use 5 IBS......hopefully by the end of week 2 I can use the 5IBS the whole video!!!
