  • yum! this thread has me craving a salad with strawberries! a really simple, right on the plate, side mix... baby spinach, cucumber, grape tomatoes, and kraft light balsamic vinaigrette.
  • it's official! today, i am HALFWAY THROUGH the 30 day shred!! i don't know about you ladies, but I am feeling pretty bad *kitten* right now! :smokin: i remeasured on sunday, which was 2 weeks into the shred, and i had lost 4 inches from my waist alone. and so far, i've lost 7 pounds. !!
  • this is really a great post! every monster seems bigger, scarier, and meaner when we're not taking care of ourselves.
  • hey ladies! so, i'm 12 days in. i started level 2 yesterday, and completed day two today. i agree. it's not quite as fun. i do love the skaters and the oblique twists, though! maybe i'm a crazy person? lol!... and i find myself wanting to master the moves that i struggle with. especially keeping my body in line on those…
  • L1D5, down! i'm halfway through level one!! dunno how excited i'll be to move up to level 2, especially after leesey's post... so, i'll be watching for your L2D2-4 posts ladies!
  • leesey! girl! FANTASTIC results so far! i'm curious, are you doing any additional cardio?
  • flippy - are you still using 1 lb. handweights? maybe if you went up to the 2 or 3 lb. weights you'd have more luck with the scale? don't be scared. you could totally do it! or consider adding a 30 min. walk to your routine? me too! i threw one of my smaller tees today and i swear it feels looser! maybe i just feel more…
  • today was L1D4 for me! feeling a little less winded now and my legs are a lot less sore. i haven't done any real/consistant exercise in years, so i'm really impressed with how much i'm liking this. with 4 days on level 1, plus the 30min of treadmill for extra cardio on days 2-4, i've lost 4 pounds. !! i'm telling myself…
  • L1D3...done!! having this thread is sooo helpful! i love hearing how everyone else is mixing it up with their own cardio routine. i've been doing intervals on the treadmill. i do 2 min. fast walking (3.5mph), then jog for 1 min. (4.5mph). i used to dread getting on the treadmill, but right having my butt kicked by jillian…
  • completed L1D2 today. i didn't know if i was going to be able to make it through day two with these 5 lb-ers. BUT i have learned not to doubt myself, i actually made it through alright today! i repeated the stretching sequence this time, just doesn't seem like enough stretching at the end does it? then i hit the treadmill…
  • that is not bad news!! thanks for sharing!
  • i just finished L1D2! i didn't know how i was going to make it... i was so sore after yesterday. but i felt a LOT better than i expected to. and i feel REALLY great now! so if this time tomorrow you start to think maybe you need a day off... don't be so quick to doubt yourself! but to your question - sorry i rambled - i…
  • can i jump in here? i realize i'm way late. but maybe seeing everyone just a week ahead of me will keep me motivated to get where you're at - to push through the pain as jillian would say! i picked up the dvd this am and i made the mistake of buying 5 lb. handweights. i did the level 1 workout about an hour ago for the…
