Well yesterday was supposed to be day eight but my husband broke the deal he made with me two weeks ago. I was getting fed up with feeling like a single parent and came up with what I thought was a good plan. He has three days where the kids are all his and I have three where the kids are all mine. That way we each have…

These are all so wonderful! I wonder if that thigh area is the first to really tone, which makes sense because both the strength and cardio are working out the legs most of the time. Running for a min and a half is most certainly something to be proud of. I have adult onset asthma and running is rough on me as well. I was…

I hugged the monitor -did you feel it? hahah

I can tell a difference in the way my jeans fit, the thighs are so loose I almost feel like I need a smaller size soon. I'm getting better at getting through the shred. I feel confident, strong and beautiful. I notice my food and drink choices are more thought out. Energy! The energy I get from a mere 30 min workout is…

I second this...slow and steady wins the race. Be carful about doing too much too soon because then you might not be doing any at all :(

Oh no this sounds awful for me! I have weak wrists and zero balance. I have to be very careful about that last leg stretch in lvl one. The one where you pull your foot into your butt...I fall 70% of the time haha. I hope you continue though, it can only get easier!

Shamu fits! I hate how bloated you get and you want to eat everything all the time. My drink of choice was mountain dew. I tried the diet sodas once, dr pepper tasted pretty good, but I found it made me eat more junk food. Now I mostly drink water all day at work and might have a soda with dinner, but I've cut down so much…

All logical reasons to me. When my hubby upsets me I want to work out too, something so satisfying about throwing punches through the air LOL

OMG I love those! hahaha....great pictures!

I know some people who do it that way and finish earlier but I'm going by days I worked out no matter how many times. Twice in one day though? why?

That's great about the pushups! Those are still really hard on me, I think its because I've got some weak wrists and my left one was in a cast of some sort most of my childhood. But I'm not giving up and I just take those 5sec breaks where ever I need them. I have no doubt that Jillian is going to knock me down a few pegs…

Aww twin babies! I bet you're a tired mama. I've got girls, 6 and 8 and they are a handful but getting so independent as they age. I second that you can't access the forums on your phone. Wish you could though as getting to the computer isn't always something I can do either. Just get back to us when you can :)

Aww well I've always been small. I really don't eat a lot. My husband says I could get full off of a scratch and sniff menu! But Soda has always been my drink of choice and I've now been at an office job for the past 5 years. I'm happy to say that I've cut my soda down A LOT and it's made a noticeable difference in how I…

You will! It comes out of no where and you're like, "yes...I can keep this up. wait did this just get easy?" Thank you! I almost didn't do it tonight since I didn't want to be sore at six flags tomorrow but I thought I'd go ahead and get it done and I am so glad I did!

Just wanted to add in my stats as well SW: 143-146 GW:130-135 Chest: 35.5 Waist: 29 Hips: 37 Thigh: 23 Can't wait to see what results I have after 10 days...almost there ladies <3

haha you guys know what you mean...if they put half the effort that we do, they would look great. But zero motivation. My husbands the same way. If he isn't in shape after one video, he is done. I can't wait till the changes in my body are noticeable then maybe he will jump on board. One can dream right?

Love you're color runner picture :) You might want to stand up a little slower or make sure you're getting in good breaths. Be careful, don't want you passing out now ;) Good luck on the hubby! They seem to want us to look like Victoria secret angels but they don't want to put any work into their bodies. I don't know,…

Ah okay, I listen to my ipod the whole time. Those are rough on my knees.

I had to use a lower weight for these and it helped so much.

Which are the static? are those the ones where you have to dip down kind of and then do a bicep curl?

Jumping in here with you all! My before pictures!

WOot! Nice, I wouldn't say I killed day six but once I noticed my little girl watching me, I gave it my all. I was proud to see her doing jumping jacks in the kitchen. We teach our children so much but sometimes we overlook that important lesson of fitness. I am getting better at the girlie push ups! And switching from two…

How exciting! I bet when you wear them you will feel so accomplished! Congrats! I haven't taken any new measurements till day 10, however, my scale is dropping! I'm sure its also from counting calories. I can tell things are starting to feel a little looser though so I can't wait to take some new measurements!

I have a few moments of weakness areas. Those dang pushups -I'm a girl yes, but still can't do girlie push ups for nothing! Those bicycle crunches at the end!!! It seems like they NEVER end! Oh and those arm raises with the side lunge are killer with my 3 lb weights are impossible for me so I now hold one weight with both…

My husband tried to convince me to get the 5lb weights and I'm so very glad I didn't listen! The 3lb weights are so difficult and It's going to take possibly the whole 10 days just to get through the whole video using them. I was thinking that maybe I might hold onto one 3lb weight with both arms for the arm raises so that…

Well I'm on day 6 tonight. Was supposed to be last night but I had my eyes dilated at the eye dr and apparently I am one out of one million that had a severe allergic reaction and got really, really sick. I'm much better today and ready to pick up where I left off. Push ups are so hard on me too, even the girlie ones I…

Day four was pretty rough and those arm raises with weights at the end are murder on my arms with the 3lb weights. I have to take frequent rests on that last part and on the push ups...I guess my upper arm strength is pretty pathetic indeed. I'm also going to be in the heat and lots of walking this Sat, my rest day. We are…

Oh day five was murder. Is it true what they say about weight lifting and how your body continues to burn calories after a good workout? I hope so! My arms and abs and legs are so sore right now and I'm truly dreading day 6 tonight, you know in that...this is going to be great kind of way. Happy to still be going!

I did day 4 of level one last night and wow my abs hurt every time I laugh. This is the second attempt at this video for me , the first time I made it to day nine and noticed my jeans feeling loose around my thighs and my energy levels sky rocketed and I was just in a great mood often...but then we moved into a new house…

tonight I will do day 4 of lvl one! Ready!
