I use three pound dumbbell. And I am not the only one doing that. You are putting stress on your body, even with one pound. So I would start with the three and work your way up. You definitely do NOT want to strain or seriously mess anything up.

I use three pound weights as well.

I agree with this one hundred and ten percent! I can't even do a modified push up. :( I literally get on my hands and KNEES, and then I bend at my waist to go up and down. :) And when it comes to the side lunges with arm raises, I don't even use weights. It's far too much. :/

I, honestly, would take a break as you deem fit. When I did it the first time, I needed to take a break after the first couple of days and let sore muscles and bones relax. After that, I was all for it! What I would recommend taking a break after you start a new level and feel sore. Don't wimp out if you're not sore and…

It's okay, I actually couldn't work out yesterday. My shins hurt SO bad from the first three days that I seriously wanted to collapse and cry. :(

I can't figure out how to either. So what I'm doing it using tinypic.com, getting the URL for it (it's the third one down) and them putting them on my blog, using the html thing. Then, I will link my blog each monday to the group.

To be honest, I am not sure if it will show results as quickly. When I Google searched images for results of both the 6W6P and 30DS, I was finding a lot of results of people who did both at the same time. I do know that level one of 6W6P is to build your ab muscles, and level 2 is to burn off that fat. Both levels are 15…

Hey Brandy! I'm glad you joined. No better motivation than the idea of seeing your man surprised in the best way possible. He won't be able to keep his hands off you. ;) Always work out before you eat, and make sure you eat something with high protein. Red meat is good, it takes more calories to break it down due to the…

Hey guys! I completed day two today. I feel great, other than the backs of my legs being sore. Yesterday and today I completed level one of 30 Day Shred and Six Week Six Pack, along with ten minutes of a jog, just in place. How do you guys feel today? P.S. I'd like some thoughts from you guys about starting a group for us…

You've lost seven pounds already girl! Good job!! Your enthusiasm is so inspiring. I soooo love it. You give me hope too.

I'm not in the best, nor in poor shape. I have size 36DDD bras. That's a lot of weight in itself honestly.

I did my first time around. I would stop for a couple days. I really messed mine up. I started limping everywhere. Haha Just give it a rest for a few days, and then take it easy until you work up your joints to support the movements.

On the contrary, I am not in bad shape. I weigh a lot due to bone and muscle density. My legs have always been rock solid muscle and still are. It's literally just my stomach. I've included a link to my MFP blog which I plan on visually tracking my progress. You can see what I looked like before any workouts, and every…

They're nothing to really be concerned about. Like you won't get them unless its a real quick gain and loss of weight. But stay hydrated and use cocoa butter at least one to two times a day. Palmers I hear works good. All my friends have used that brand after pregnancy.

Well as silly as this sounds, I started working out a while back, and never necessarily gained the inches back, but it felt all jelly like, and it seemed as if my waistline fat drooped more. It seemed to hang over my pants in the most unflattering way, that it hadn't before. I'm sure it will go down in time, but I hear it…

Give it a few days. You'll be SO used to it. I made it through level one once.I'll probably be stopping for a day or two soon. I'll be visiting family.

I completely agree with this. I'm trying to lose weight and I'm a night person, but I hear you shouldn't eat before bed.

Same here. He says he loves when I do plank jacks from Six Week Six Pack. He says "you got your cute butte in the air bouncing around." Lol

I started today too. I did the 30 Day Shred, Six Week Six Pack, and finished off by running in place for about ten minutes. My finance came home and he said he could feel my fat was already loosening up. It sucks though, my friends wanna lose weight as well, but they're so far from me, and are doing just the diet thing. It…

Thanks Steph! I had no idea about the yogurt at all. I was actually buying the Yoplait light for quite some time. But I do try to work out with my fiance as much as possible. It's just kind of hard sometimes when I'm sweating my *kitten* off and he's making jokes about it. I just end up kicking him out of the room. :) I…
