Yay Level one down!! And pictures! And cause I'm excited to see the start of some abs, I have to post this one! Sorry about the dirty mirror, I always forget to clean it before pics haha. Like my new sports bra? My reward for finishing level one! Level two starts tomorrow!

I think I'm making that pasta for dinner tonight, just looks too good!

I usually have my radio on in the kitchen or my ipod, but I enjoy listening so that way I know when the reps are about through and I can keep pushing.

I don't know why but this is my favorite part! LOL, I look forward to it...

I know each of us are watching what we eat and have become a tad wiser about the things we do eat, but as far as I know there's no actual plan we are following. I did see a thread in here about one...so maybe ?

We can't wait to have you! Congrats on the new cd and the will to start :)

Amazing story. I always tip my hats to single mothers, what warriors you guys are! You must be an incredibly loving and patient person also to do what you do jobwise. Thank you for sharing :)

Good grief ladies...are you all hulks? 8lb...10lbs?? LOL.... I can barely manage my 3lbs! But I suppose one day I will needing to lift heavier too. But damn, ladies you're just killing it! Proud to be a part of this group!

Oooo new pics! Can't wait! As far as doing anything other then the shred I do a lot of house work. I don't sit until usually 10:30-11:00 pm. I'm just a busy body, always have been. However I have an 8-5 desk job so it kinda evens it out I think. I did add in turbo fire on Sundays but that's about it. Of course watching…

It is neat to see all the strange little things that make us unique haha. :)

Oh I love this, it has insanity -which I'm doing next, and turbo fire and everything wow! Thank you!

cry! Today is my last day of level 1, Sat is a rest day and Sun is turbo fire. So Monday starts level 2 and boy I'm I scared! But I will push on :)

we will miss you! But you need to take care of you. You can still eat healthy and maybe do some light walking here and there. Drop in anytime! Best of luck!

Great job! Keep at it :)

I'm jumping into Level 2 here soon and wow I'm always amazed at the results I see on here! Congrats! Any ideas on what you'll do next? It's insanity for me ;)

Well I guess I'm the wimp here! That's alright, no shame here for me ;) I started with water bottles, moved up to 1 lb walking weights and then up to 3 lb dumbbells and I'm comfortable here for now.

Huh, you learn something new everyday :) they should have charts on this stuff like sizing charts where it give you a line to measure.

Didn't even know about it. I just increased my water, dropped the soda, stayed under my calorie goal and added in a protein shake :) Seems to be working out aright.

I do across the boob, I mean chest is chest right?

I'm glad your body is starting to get used to it. It's a great feeling when you can start doing something that just days ago was too hard. I used to take several 5 sec breaks to catch my breath -asthma, but yesterday, day 11 of level 1, I didn't need any. You will get there. Take as long as you need on each level, it's not…

I weigh more then when I started as well, muscle builds up first and that's when our scales go up but then it starts to eat the fat and our scales go down a bit. Don't be discouraged, we are all going through the same thing! As far as the arm raises, I use one weight and hold onto it with both hands. Still burns but it's…

Yes! I love hearing stuff like this!! Seven is where it's at lol. I'm so glad for you!

Thank you, it's really exciting to see and feel that strength in your own body. I'm glad your day went better as well!

Wonderful to have you! And congrats on completing the shred! Dropping dress size is great progress! Welcome aboard :) Good luck with ripped in 30, keep us posted

I smoked the shred today! Not one break, not even through the pushups -which I'm now doing against the wall. But man, I feel so strong and proud right now. I might be able to move onto level 2 sooner then I thought!

awesome I added in my info ;)

Great! Welcome to the group, glad to have a veteran on board ;) I don't think we have anyone who has already made it through the shred yet.

Haha, I don't have an actual menu such as yours but before we go grocery shopping we make a two week dinner list and so it's all right there on the fridge yet he still asks me what he should make when it's his night to cook. JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT TO SOMETHING!!!! It's not rocket science! LOL! Men, sigh....

Those first days are the worst. Good for you to listen to your body and break when you felt like you had enough. Pushing too far too soon is when bad things happen. Today will be day 11 of level 1 for me. I'm not ready to move to lvl 2 yet so I'm continuing with 1. I've been doing pretty good with it, def getting stronger…

I've given up on the scale, it can't make up it's mind about my weight anymore and so I don't want to hear from it! I'm focusing on grabbing water instead of mountain dew, getting though the shred and inches lost. I admit though, that when I fall on my face while trying to get through the push ups...I get a little…
