WooHoo.. Glad to see so many others on here! Day 16 for me now. Well, maybe 15, I did take one day off so far. I am on my 4th day of lvl 2. I'm aiming for 10 days on each lvl. Even though I think I did 11 days of 1 but thats cool. Lvl 2 kicks my butt. I love it so far. I'm scared to look at lvl 3. I haven't noticed too much of a change yet. But I swear I gain muscle before I loose fat. Especially on these platues I go thru. I did loose 2 pounds the first week. Didn't weigh myself this week, because I always seem to gain a pound or 2 around 'that time of the month'' sorry too much info I'm sure. I've gained great muscles in my arms and legs, it's just my mid section that I have such a hard time with! The post baby belly I guess~ even though my son is 19 mnths old already!!! Anyhow.. just wanted to say HELLO to all! And wish everyone well! It's a new week, lets all try to check in on Friday with updates! I'm gonna weigh myself on Friday mornings. Good luck to us all!!0

I didn't know you could youtube it?? Great info, that means I can start tonight even though my DVD hasn't come yet. Sweet! :happy: I have NO Idea what's in store - but I've never been excited about starting an exercise program - but I adore Jillian Michaels
so lets she if she can help me shed these last pounds! 0 -
I wore my HRM yesterday while I did the workout and it said 25 mins @ 211 calories...0

Mine is 19 years old and I am still struggling with the mid section :noway:0 -
woah! I just completed level 2..and this was day 9 for me. I am overheating and I feel wiped out! But I really enjoyed it! I took it a little easy this go around, since some of the moves were a little bit tricky the first time around. Tomorrow I will give it everything I possibly can. But level 2 is a lot of fun!0

what pound weights is everybody using?0
-
I've tried 5 lbs for most exercises but the shoulder raises always get me even with 3 lb weights.
I tried level 2 today. Not as bad as I expected but I also didn't use weights. Tomorrow we will see how I survive!:bigsmile:0 -
I'm using 5 pound weights as well. I can do everything with them except the shoulder raises at the end of Level 1 and Level 2, where I have to skip some of the reps as I'm doing the squats. Oh, they're killers. But I don't have any other weights and the 5pounders work well with everything else so I figure I'll just build up to getting strong enough.0

well i did my 1st day on level 1 yesterday and boy am i achiing this morning! and seriously, after the workout i couldn't believe how much i was sweating! i no thats grose but woaah i was suprised - i felt great after it tho, and i loved the way jillian keeps u motivated and is always talking to u which was great cos there were so many times i wanted to stop but by saying things like 'imagine what u will look like after all this work' and stuff like that
but after an intense workout at the gym on monday and that yesterday, i am definately having a day off today
haha. but im excited to do it again tomorro - hows everyone else finding it?

I am still using 5's. I did pull out the 8lbs yesterday, and tried to use them a bit. I can't make it all the way thru with them, I switched back when I felt like it was to much.
Level 2 is fun. The cardio seems a bit more breathtaking! And I seem to sweat a TON at the end of this one! I'm fine with pushups and all. But those shoulder raise/squat things kill me toward the end of the reps! But I feel great today and am getting ready to do it now while the little one's still sleeping!!0 -
haha 5lbs?? Yeahhhh, I used 2.5 lbs last night & my shoulders were KILLING me half way thru so I had to do it w/o weights by the end of the reps - she's a beast.
I'm not sore today, I really thought I would be - I feel great this morning! AND I was down 2lbs to boot so that makes me feel even better! (down 2lbs from a week agao - not just from teh shred lol) I get my actual DVD tonight - when you 'youtube' it you can't get part 3 of level 1 - copyright issues or something? I just did another ab video that I had on hand to finish out the workout. It was intense! Felt like the flood gates had opened in my sweat glands :laugh: 0 -

ooh thats strange cos i did it on youtube using this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji22Z7gglHA&feature=related so its strange that u werent able to :noway:
once u've tried your DVD could u let me know if u think its worth buying rather than using the youtube videos? cos i'm not sure whether i should or not Emma 0 -
if I am doing a weight training circuit 3 days a week (the abs diet) should I be doing the shred on the off days? I worry that is not giving my muscles enough time to rest. I usually do some form of cardio on my off days???0

so were you really sore the first couple of days? I cant walk!!!!!!!!!0 -
I am not sore at all! I really really really thought I would be, but I'm not. I feel good today - can't wait to do it again tonight after work. :noway: Did I really just say that?? I can't believe how much I like this workout. I thought the rest of the people were craZy when they said how much they like it - but its awesome. Although I'm not sore today, after 10 million (or what felt like 10 million) jumping jacks my calves cramped like crazy last night. haha but only until the butt-kicks. :laugh: then they loosened up. 0
-
I wasn't all that sore the first few days. But I had just finished a Tony Horton series (power half hour), I'm sure that was why.
I totally know what you mean (Jstar513) about loving this workout. I normally get burnt out of the same thing, but even on day 17 I still LOVE it!! Did lvl 2 again this morning and felt great afterward! I feel like I should do an ab workout tonight. I have exercise tv on demand, and they have some great 10 min and 20 min workouts on there too. Think I'll do one of those.
Ok, gotta run, my son is just waking from his nap!0 -
I just completed day 12! I feel a little bit sore..but not too bad. I really wish I would see more results..my legs are getting very muscular, but I want to see the fat come off of my stomach!0

Yeah, I'm on day 18, and feel the same way. I do notice a difference in my legs and arms, but not my stomach
And I've even added 10-15 min ab workouts every am. I did weigh in this morning and didn't loose any weight this week :sad: HOPEFULLY due to muscle gain?? Maybe next week will be better. I'm going to do a few more days of lvl 2 then I'll move onto 3, and PRAY for some weight loss around the belly!
How's everyone else doing? Great, I hope!0 -
I got through 15 min of it yesterday!!! my legs are soooo sore already, dont think i can handle it everyday right now!!
I really need to buy a yoga mat my back hurts from the crunches i love the reverse crunch tho!!!0 -
MINE IS 16 YEARS OLD AND I'M STILL STRUGGLING W/ MY MIDSECTION TOO! I CAN'T WAIT TIL MY DVD GETS HERE, I OREDERED YESTERDAY!
I GET BORED SO QUICKLY WITH WORKOUTS BUT USUALLY IT TAKES ABOUT 2 MONTHS FOR ME TO GET BORED SO WHO KNOWS MAYBE THIS WILL HELP! I VE BEEN AT A PLATEAU SINCE JANUARY! OK, MAYBE JUSTA LITTLE INCONSISTENT! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!0 -
I'm going to try out LVL 3 today!!! And am actually excited about it. Still don't think I've lost any more pounds, but I'm still feeling good about the work out. I swear the last 10 pounds is the HARDEST ever! My fat doesn't want to budge.. It's comfy where it is. LOL... Fingers crossed for everyone, hope you all are doing well..0
-
Good luck! My last 30 are not budging.
I'm on day 8 - I've lost 2 lbs but I've been losing 2 lbs per week with my calorie deficit, so unless I lose more than 2, I can't attribute any weight loss to the shred - but I do see the difference in my clothes already and I can feel myself getting stronger. 0 -
Oh yeah ~ I got my husband to do the shred with me last night!! Well, he didn't do any of the cardio but still - I was SO proud of him! Even though he called me this morning to tell me he's never working out again b/c he's so sore. :laugh: We'll see, I'll have his butt sweating it up with Jillian again tonight! 0
-
I'm so in. I just bought the DVD last night and was planning to try it out this afternoon. Has anyone tried Jillian's "Making the Cut"?0
-
I have lost 1 inch off of my waist since I started level 2... and 1 inch off of my hips! Woohooo. Now I would like to see some inches fall off of my chest and my arms!0

Too Funny! I'm trying to get my husband to do it too. He swears he'll try it tonight, but said my son and I have to go outside or something. He doesn't want us watching :laugh: He swears he has no time to go to the gym or work out. WHATEVER, I told him! 25 mins is ALL it takes! It's a start if anything. He's always made fun of me for doing work out dvd's.. but look who's loosing weight... He see's it now and amazingly said he would TRY it. We'll see. I can't wait ;-) I hope it does make him sore. Lol. Bad, I know, but they should realize what a great workout it is..
LADYKRASHY: Great job on the inch's lost!! I need to measure myself again. I did a few weeks ago, but didn't notice a difference yet.
swankgirl: Nope, never tried "making the cut". You? I want to try more of her videos though. She is awsome!! I've done some of the biggest looser vids. They are great too. Good luck today with the shred!
I did make it thru day 1 of lvl 3! Woohoo! It was a great one. It wore me out! But I'm not sore today. I don't know if that's good or bad! Sometimes I miss being sore. Lol. Never thought I'd say that!
Ok, gotta get some work done! Good Luck Everyone!0 -
I'm going to go buy it today, after reading the comments. I do lots of cardio, but dont really enjoy strength training as much. AND boy did i need to tone these legs:laugh:0

:laugh: My husband didn't want me to watch either. He stood behind me the whole time - but I made him stand next to me at one point b/c I glanced back & he was cheating! I'm MY quads are burning YOURS are too! haha He had boys night out last night, so we'll see if I can get him to do it again tonight. I'm sure I can. I can talk that man into anything. :bigsmile: 0 -
I wnt and bought the shred at Target for $15, It was less on amazon but i'm an immediate gratification kinda girl. I'm starting tonite. It sounds like we're checking in on Fri. So i'm ready to go, it sounds like a shortened version of the urban iron class I begrudgingly take at the gym. So i'm excited yet bitter that I've committed to this.:ohwell: I usually only make it to that class 1-2 week. HERE WE GO
