I follow Anita a LOT!! Just finished L1 D6 this morning, and unless something drastic happens over these next four days, I'm definitely going to do the 69 day shred also!! I didn't do it Sat or Sun, was visiting the hubby who's out of town working. I don't think it set me back any, I just won't be able to do as many days…

I agree with some others, that looks like more than 2 inches!! You must have really gave it your all to get such good results!!

All I know is that since I've been drinking lots of water over the past two weeks, I FEEL a lot better. I sleep better, am more regular, and my skin feels better (both to the touch, and not as "tight feeling" from dryness)...

I'd like to meet those people too!! "If I feel it's too difficult for me to move on to Level 2, I think I'll go back to Level 1. " makes total sense, maybe I'll do the same!!

I second this post!

Congrats on the 20 lb mark!! Sounds like you and I are at about the same on the push ups... I was surprised at how good I felt this morning too, maybe 5 more days will get me ready for level 2?? (but I doubt it!!) Gotta take tomorrow off, going to visit the hubby who's working out of town, staying in the camper, no room…

You look great!! Way to go!!

L1 D5 down, still can't do all the push ups and still cheating on the jump ropes.... Is there anybody else who's considering putting in a few extra days on level 1?? I really feel that if I can't get my form right on level 1, I surely won't be able to get it right on level 2...I think I would get more out of level 2 if I…

I didn't expect it to make me feel so much better emotionally and mentally either. I'm not sure whether it's those chemicals sent to the brain from exercising, or whether it's because I feel myself getting stronger and think, "I DID THAT"!! Sorry day 4 didn't go well for you guys, busy schedules often get in the way,…

Aliann, your pinto beans probably weigh more than these weights I'm using!! Julia, I just got home from my birthday supper and ate way too much of the wrong things!! I don't think we need to beat ourselves up about it...I'm just planning to do a little better tomorrow!!

Thanks for clearing that up for me!!

I've seen this posted before and am confused....why can't you do both? Does this mean I need to get to my target weight first and then build?

Good information, thanks!! I have to make some changes to my cardio routine!!

This :smile:

"Every scientific study can be proven and then disproven ten years later" Just look at what's been said about eggs and butter over the years, some say eggs are good for you, some say they're not.....some say real butter is better than the fake stuff, some say it's not..... I just listen to my body, and since this is my…

L1 D4 down and I FINALLY did all of the jumping jacks, still cheated a little on the jump rope (alternated legs), but can tell I'm getting stronger and my endurance is getting better!! Still can't do all the push ups (on my knees) and my arms are still really weak (I'm only using 2 lb weights, and can't do all of the…

I think the stretches aren't enough, and am glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't do the arms behind the back thing!! I guess I need to work on flexibility!!

WAY to go on the pushups!! One reason I'm trying to get back in shape is because a couple of weeks ago I tried and could not do ONE real pushup...I don't know how long I've not been able to do one since I hadn't tried in quite a while!! Maybe I'll try to do at least one tomorrow morning when I do the dvd!!

Yeah, I just pushed through it, though I have to admit I still cheat during the first circuit of jumping jacks and jump rope. I think my legs are just weaker than the 400lb person she talks about who does jumping jacks LOL... I haven't had any issues with my arms, so I can't help you there...if you could pin point which…

HOW cool is that?

I'm still researching on how to use a HRM and FitBit to see which, if either I want to invest in.....I'm not very good with all this new technology!!

Yeah, we used to call those push, pull, curse, do whatever you gotta do to get the yard mowed mowers!! Don't think I could handle one of those just yet!!

I'm not what you call a square dancer, but when I was growing up, the community had a weekly "square dance" during the winter months (community of farmers, too busy in the summer)... My sisters are teachers, and their school was having some sort of fund raising contest where the teachers' names were on jars, and the…

My calves did the exact same thing...I had to keep stretching them out for a couple of days just to be able to walk, sort of in a lunge position, stretching the calf of the leg behind me. That seemed to really help. I've also been stretching the hamstrings a lot the last couple of days. This morning, I did extra stretches…

Thanks for sharing!! You look great!!

Glad you're feeling better!!

Just finished day 4 level 1, and while I STILL can't make it through all the jumping jacks and jump rope (circuit one of aerobics), I must say I'm feeling stronger and am less shakey afterwards!! Thank you all for your comments and motivation!!:wink:

I had to REALLY make myself do day three this morning...I even told myself that if I get through today, I would "reward" myself with a "rest day" tomorrow...I pushed through it...weird thing is I'm actually LESS sore today than I was yesterday at this time...thinking of taking the "reward" back and pushing through day 4…

Happy Anniversary and Thank You for sharing!!

Thanks for the assurance!! I'm feeling really sore after day 3 of level 1.....
