  • Day 3 complete today took a day of recovery yesterday(don't count that as a day). Today I was able to complete L1D3 and then do 2 miles/30 min on the elliptical. I feel great today!

  • I've done it all the way through one time before and this is how it worked for me. I do each level for 10 days each. I don't move on untill I do 10 days. I take a rest day whenever my body tells me to. Like today I was supposed to do L1D3 but I just couldn't I could barely move yesterday so I need a rest. I don't count any…
  • YES!!! I found I was very sore this morning when I woke up. As I was working out it was fine the soreness went away. But now I can barely move! I'm hobbling around like an old lady.
  • Completed day 2! I was a little sore when I woke up but I pushed through and got it done! And then did 1 mile on the elliptical. I usually do 2.5 miles, but my legs couldn't take more than a mile today!

  • I have to do it in the morning so I'm not interrupted by kids! Ugh getting up in the summer was easy but now that it's dark it's a challenge!

  • OK! I'll join you! I completed it in the summer and loved it! Had great results! Since then I've been doing 35-45 min a day on my elliptical and need more to tone. Not looking forward to the pain but it's a good hurt because I know it's working!
  • I did it a few months ago and loved it! It works out to be 20 min circuit training. It's a great workout! Level 2 sucked but keep it up you can do it!
  • I am too! With this heat my house has been so hot I can't work out. I only have 2 days left and the last 3 days I worked out I think it went every other day? I don't know what to do either. I think I'm just going to finish my 2 days. And start over. Do one more round and then I'm looking into the ripped in 30. Plus my…
  • Level 3 Day 4! Still loving Level 3 the best! I do not like the Rock Star jumps either. Mostly because all the jumping I'm afraid to wake up the whole house! I do a few and then do the squat jumps instead. Way to go everyone! I agree it is nice to have all of you to keep me accountable. When I wake up tired or sleep late I…
  • I was looking at the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. It looks good.
  • Yay good job only 1 more!! You can do this!! Day 3 of Level 3 done for me !!!!! I still love this level!!
  • Ha Ha! I was thinking the same thing I thought I'd throw my weight at Jillian's head, my hands were slippery. I'm loving level 3 also it's much more fun. The planks on the weights hurt one wrist but I'm getting through it! Level 3 Day 2 Complete!!
  • Day 1 of Level 3 .....Ok not so sure about this level. All the jumping is going to wake my family. I need to be light on my feet. I think this level is going to be much better than level 2!! The Link I posted yesterday from Youtube was another one that cut out in the middle but I found one that worked all the way through…
  • Level 2 Day 10 Complete! It still killed me I don't feel much better about it! Level 3 looks horriffic!! I'm very happy with the results so far though! From the start on July 12: Down 2" waist, 1/2" hips, 1" thighs and 4.6 lbs! One more level to go!!!
  • I'm on the Youtube videos too I don't have a DVD so here's the link I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMN4g3D4ODE&list=FLha9wz4c2Z83ZuvuYpDvM_g&index=5&feature=plpp_video I just watched it this morning haven't done it though and I didn't cut out that I noticed.
  • Way to go! Keep up the awesome work!! I didn't even measure my chest....now I'm wondering how much i've lost there ...hmmmmm?
  • Level 2 Day 8!!! I am definately getting stronger, I was able to do all the advanced moves except of course the jumprope :) The V raises are still killing me but I'm getting through it! And I'm down 2.6 lbs since I started Jillian! I'll take measurements in a few days before I start level 2.
  • Level 2 Day 7! Everyone is doing so great! I'm so glad I have all of you to encourage me along! Thank you!! I really can't wait to be done with this level! I am tired of it also. I still have a hard time with the V raises/Chair squat my arms try to give out, but I just pace myself and do as many as I can. And I sure hope…
  • I forgot to check in today..Level 2 day 6! Today was a bit harder than yesterday. I am noticing if I don't get enough sleep I have a hard time pushing through. 4 more days of level 2 I can do this......WE can do this!!!
  • Level 2 day 5! My trip to Seattle was great and I did not over do the food. Although we did eat out every meal I made good choices. And we did a ton of walking, and carrying my 3 year old while walking way too much! So, I took yesterday as a day of rest. Today back on track and I was amazed at myself, I was able to push…
  • Level 2 day 4! WOW today was not easy but its over! And I had to really push through my 25 min on the elliptical! Kind encouragement from all of you gets me through each day! Thank you all!!! We can do this!!!
  • The plank moves are a bit challenging especially the very last one twisting and bringing your knee forward. Do the best you can your doing great!! And good thing your not in my living room I think I need 3 sports bras with all this jumping nonsence!
  • I just saw this I'm sorry :( Yes Level 2 is making me feel wussy too. But every day is getting easier. I only have 5 lb weights so I am doing the best I can pushing but going slower than they are. The squat V raises kill my arms and I don't know how she squats with her lower legs so strait! I can't do that my knees go…
  • Level 2 Day 3! I can't believe it's getting easier! Still killed me but I love it! I also was able to add 5 extra min to my elliptical. YAY baby steps!
  • I did the same thing and I always have calories left ....unless we eat out! I am having the same problem too I work out at 5am and I can't eat before or i'll puke. But I am starving during my workout too I don't know what to do either.
  • Level 2 Day 2!!! I'm lovin this! I am able to jump out of bed excited to start my work out. I never thought I'd love working out. The double jumprope is a bit much...think I need a tighter sports bra lol:ohwell: . Still taking a few 5 second breaks but I love the results it's giving me.
  • I haven't lost any weight ....well maybe a few ounces but I won't count that. But I have lost 1" in my waist, and 1" in my thighs, and 1/2" in my calf. So that is what I'm after I'm trying not to focus on the weight....have 20 to lose but really want to be tone and in better shape/health.
  • Whew.... Level 2 Day 1 COMPLETE! That was a killer! I was definately more exhausted after that one. I had to take a few 5 sec breaks but I did it!
