i actually decided to stay at level 1 for now. i previewed level 2 and it seems like you need a lot more room. i am at my boyfriends and barely have enough room for level 1, so while i am here i am continuing and trying to do the hardest version of level 1. when i get home i am going to start level 2, and hopefully it wont…

ari - just did day 12, although i didnt move up to level 2. at the boyfriends and tehre's no real place for me to do it and level 2 requires a lot more room. im staying at level 1 (it still buuuurns so im not worried) and just trying to stay with the more advanced girl. when i get home i am going to move up to level 2 and…

hey guys! i am at 152, up a half a pound from my week at the beach, but i'll take it! i did the shred every day but i knew that i was eating a lot... i have 2.5 weeks until i leave for guatemala so i hope i can make them count...

hey guys! just popping in to say helloo im back in boston with a gym! but its hard to do my shredding here because there's no good place... going to scope it out tonight because i took yesterday off and i am not happy about it. however, i am on day 11 but dont think i am going to move up to level 2 just yet. ari - sorry…

just did day 10! i am pretty confident with level 1 so im going to try level 2 tomorrow! i am very interested to see how that goes, i previewed it today and it looks rough, especially the abs... any thoughts/tips???

hey guys im here... i have day 10 to do in the morning.. so nervous! i hope i am ready for level 2 on sunday, i can't believe i am a third of the way through already! how do you guys like level 2 so far? is it much different? i havent previewed it yet... also, do any of you have any of her other dvds?

day 7 done i am very nervous to be able to do level 2 by day 11... i am still not able to use the weights the whole time during the second set of squats and presses (circuit 1), but my pushups have improved (still doing girly style as well, but can do many more - maybe 10 or 15? - than when i started and can really tell a…

hey all ari - that must feel so good that you are walking faster! way to go! i have done day 7 of the shred, i am feeling great! i still am not using the weights the entire time, but close now. i am hoping by tomorrow i will use them the whole time, so that i will be ready to go on to the intermediate workout by day 11 (so…

hey guys... im at the beach so i cant weigh in til next week (which is mostly a blessing, the beach is ROUGHHH, although ive been pretty proud - worked out every day so far!) a mini success for me is that i am on day 6 of the 30 day shred!!! i have only had 1 rest day, and i am loving it! jillian is such a drill sargeant,…

thanks!!!! i did day 4 today... i am hoping to be able to push through with weights the whole time by day 6... we'll see how that goes. i am at the beach still and food is bad. i am really really trying but family eats pretty poorly... i am cooking them dinner some and such but its still hard. i am excited to get home and…

on day 3 now... still really hurting but hoping it will improve pronto. at the beach so my eating has not been fabulous, but im hoping shredding every day is helping! i have 5 lb weights, and i find that i can only do the first set of a couple of the exercises with teh weights, and then i just do the second set without…

thanks today has been ok but i have to resist ice cream tonight (which may not happen...) i brought the 30 day shred with me and did it today (it is sooo killer!) so thats good. also i do a lot of walking here. how have you been with eating all of your calories ari?

hey im here! at the beach though so wont be around as much as usual.... wish me luck on the food front - there's fries, fudge, pizza, hot dogs...... OH MY!

agreed. what happened? is everyone on summer vacations or something?

ari - my problem at home is that my parents LOVE to go out to eat and there is not getting out of it. i have tried to make good choices (and, seeing as i have maintained, i have done a pretty good job), but there are just not GREAT options everywhere. when i am at school i hardly ever go out to eat and cook myself all of…

hi guys!! i maintained again.... frustrated but i understand it and am glad im not gaining - being at home is very hard and i know once i get back to school with a gym and my own grocery shopping things will be better. as for challenges... i am starting the 30 day shred tomorrow and want to finish it (with about 1 day off…

id love to join! i am starting today!!! will do my measurements tonight!

of course! is it that you arent hungry or that you feel guilty eating more? i know in the summer heat its harder to eat a lot, but smoothies are then a good alternative, and i know you love them! just think of it as getting in your fruits/veggies for the day, and know that the calories are good ones and not from junk food.…

bump! i am going to try this with skim milk and reduced fat peanut butter...

bump! i want to try this... never had anything like it but it sounds interesting!

here :) ari - how have you been doing with eating your exercise calories?

hey guys im down a half pound (if you can even call that down and not maintaining...), which is frustrating but ill take it since my first week home has been very difficult (my parents love to eat out), but i am proud that i have made good decisions and have been exercising like a maniac! still hoping to be down a couple…

you should eat them! it could be the reason you are at a plateau. you are not getting enough calories for your body to function with exercise, so it thinks you are starving it. eat more and i bet you will see results within a few weeks once your body isn't storing lots of fat because it thinks it may need it soon. does…

tried this and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!

squats were good yesterday... nervous for push-ups tonight though :grumble: :sad:

of course! i may have to start out with those knee push ups if that's ok though... but ill try to work up to the real deal! had a bad last couple of days - i had no internet at home so i couldnt log foods which is never good. now i am home and DYING to go grocery shopping so that i have food i can and WANT to eat in the…

i like this... i have been wanting to add squats and lunges to my routine.

ditto.

i maintained... which i am bummed about.... but i did have a big food day yesterday... so im going to reweigh tomorrow and report back. ari - i def vote armband as well, amazon also has some cheap ones. they are the bomb. going home tomorrow! excited but very nervous about food and exercise (no gym) - any advice on how to…

pep: i got an ipodzoo one off of amazon.com for like $4 that i love - there are def cheap and good ones out there... and the armband is totally the way to go!
