I would say this applies to me aswell, I seem to fluctuate around the overweight / ideal area, but am aiming to lose weight to put me securely within the 'ideal' band. Add me as a friend if you'd like some extra support!

Hello there and welcome! I hope you find this site as friendly as I do...add me as a friend if you'd like some support!

Just finished shredding away D7! Had to stop on push ups - got a blinding pain behind my right ear. Had to stop the dvd for 10 minutes. It's still painful now, so I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the day.

L1D6 much easier than yesterday! Nearly got through all the pushups (modified), the sideway lunges I can't do on the 2nd rep, so I did them with bicep curls instead. Really went for it with the bicycle crunches though. Today was the first day I felt no pain! Not gonna shred tmz, got an early start - hope it doesn't show…

I'm torn on this too, and there is a thread somewhere on this forum where most of the posters seem to suggest the opposite! I used to work out and then have breakfast, but then I watched a docu on the tv where a GP told someone that their body would be working harder less effectively if they didn't eat before exercise. So…

I've just done day6 of L1 and I completely understand your pain! I had long soaks in the bath most days afterwards, and although it was like pins going through my thighs, I kept moving throughout the day - went for a walk, whatever. It hurt, but was less painful than sitting down and trying to move. I nearly flaked it…

I did L1D5 today. Am really struggling with the pushups still, in fact, the 1st circuit makes me want to cry until I get to the abs, then I'm just grateful to lie on the floor! After that it feels a little easier. Broke through the pain in thighs barrier too - can now ascend and descend stairs normal speed! Gonna stick…

I started it on Sunday, today is the first day I'm not aching, but I struggled with yesterday's shred, so not looking forward to it this morning. Will do it though :-) Anyone wants to add me as a friend for shred support, please do!

Did L1 D4 today, was really keyed up for it after being on here and reading forums, but tbh I struggled at the start with the push ups (even just from the knees) and I had to leave my weights off the last side lunge / raising weights set as I wasn't using them properly by that point and didn't want to hurt myself (more…

I've just completed L1D4 and although I found the push ups harder, once I'd got past that I enjoyed it and my thighs are much happier today (D1, 2 & 3 I had trouble descending stairs and sitting on the loo, they were hurting so much!). My arms are aching today, which hadn't happened until then...I think you just got to…

I've just done my 2nd day, and my thighs are burning! I honestly wish I was a man so I could stand up and pee, sitting on the loo hurts so much and coming downstairs or any downhill is tortuous (I actually took a circuitous route to town and back once I realised that downslopes made me walk like I was about 90!) Bring it…

fayelin - I'm in the UK too and ordered it off Amazon for £4.99. Took 2 days to arrive :smile:

I got through day 2, but I'm not sure I'll do it tomorrow, as I go to Zumba on the morning...if I have time I'll squeeze it in... Am enjoying it, but, boy, feel knackered on tops of thighs and across shoulders!

Hiya, Don't feel down! When I started here I felt as though my efforts were being wasted, but this is such a lovely forum, you'll get lots of support from friends on here. As others have said, you've recognised that you're struggling, and from what you've written, you're making inroads to helping yourself better. Good luck…

I'm about to start day2/level 1 - boy I am SORE this morning! I think I will have to do some cardio, whether it is some step or just go for a walk, just to get my aching muscles used to the idea that they're gonna be used! As for weights, I'm using 2kg ones which I guess is about 4lbs, seems about right for me, couldn't go…

I've just started level 1 today - nice and sweaty now! Can anybody suggest how many calories (roughly) you burn in doing Level 1? I've searched the Database but can't find anything. Add me to your list thought!

Hi there I think that as long as you are under your net calories (your daily allowance plus any you get for exercising, you are ok). I think you will lose more weight quicker if you stick to your daily allowance though. At least that's what I believe!

Thanks for all your replies! I exercise 5 days a week - I find it difficult to do any exercise on a weekend and enjoy the rest! I have set myself a target of losing 2lb a week - I thought this would be a normal weightloss target for someone who had been fairly sedentary? I have cut out alcohol during the week, but succumb…

Thanks I have a goal - I'm going to a wedding in May, so that's what's motivating me atm. I do about 20 min aerobics each day, zumba 1hour a week, gardening and walking...I just expected more weight loss tbh!
