  • Hi! I'm from Ajax too!! Exciting!
  • I did Monday Level 1, Today Level 2, and I think on Saturday I will try to push out Level 1&2 together...as much as it will kill me. :laugh:

  • My Week 6 Day 1 was a complete joke. It had me doing 42, 35, 32, 30 & 42 max. I had no clue how they thought I could do that by now. Anyway, I did 42, 31, 26, 30, 30... and even that completely surprised me.

  • Hi! I am in Ontario as well (Ajax), so I know exactly what you mean. We could have snow in March or it could be spring-like. I recommend waiting until March to decide what to wear. Right now I am running in the cold with a tank top, long sleeve dri-fit shirt, and a running jacket over that. I wear long dri-fit pants, and I…
  • ^^^^^Exactly this^^^^
  • I'm 5'1, and my starting weight was 190ish. I currently weigh 134, and my goal is set for 125, at which point I will assess whether I want to go to 120. My net calories are set at 1200, and I usually eat at least half of my exercise calories back. I'm a big eater, so on NON-exercise days, I really struggle to only eat 1200.
  • Done! Challenging today as my arms are killing me from yesterday's workout. 15 15 14 14 12 12 10 30 max

  • I am in Telecommunications, and also a chef, nutritionist, nurse, diagnostician, maid, waitress, laundress, seamstress, party planner, chauffeur, personal assistant, advice giver, financial planner and a "boss". Unfortunately, my salary does not reflect any of this.
  • @loramurray we are ALMOST twins, except in age. CW: 135.2 GW: 125 or 120 Height: 5'1 Age. 40
  • I got Day 1 in. I just did Level 1 today. Figured I'd work myself up to doing the L1 & 2 at the same time. I also want to do Killer Buns and Thighs, as well as some running, and I have yoga one or two days per week. No idea how I'm fit this all in.

  • I worked through the C25K program this past summer, ending it with my first 5K on Sept 25. Since then, I have really learned to LOVE running, and have ran two 10K runs (not races) recently. I don't have a treadmill, and have become so diehard, that with the recent snow we finally got here in Canada, I have become…

  • I weigh myself everyday. I find this keeps me in check. Now, I realize that our weight fluctuates daily, and because I know that, I don't freak out over being up a pound or two one day. I just chug the water, and find that it comes back off. A lot of people think that weighing daily isn't "healthy", but I truly find that,…
  • I appear to be the only one who tried, and was not impressed with the laughing cow cheese. I thought it was OK, but can't really see what all the fuss is about. :noway:
  • W4 D3 done for me! Again, I did it AFTER JM Killer Buns and Thighs, and find it easier that way. 25 19 19 17 Maxed out at 30
  • Just finished mine right after doing Jillian's Killer Buns and Thighs. Surprisingly, I found it easier today, maybe because I was warmed up?? My burn was better. 22 17 17 15 25 max on last set
  • Has anyone noticed that Jillian recommends doing Shed and Shred 5-6 days per week??!! Ummmmm, no.
  • Alright, done! It is definitely getting tougher. I truly can't see myself doing 100 straight pushups at the end of 3 more weeks. Nonetheless, 22 16 16 14 22 max on last set.
  • OMG! that was brutal. My legs were actually shaking for the first time. I did 25 19 19 17 22 max. The 22nd was if-y.
  • Holy crap! This was my hardest day ever. I barely got my 20th in on the last set. 22 17 17 15 20 max on last set.
  • What does Jillian recommend for it?? I don't have it yet.
  • OK, I completed W 3 D 1. Wasn't too bad I don't think. Although it is getting tougher on the last Max set, for sure. 20 15 15 13 21 max on last set
  • I just did my test (after running 10 KM for the first time, no less), and got 23. That keeps me in Level 3 (or column 2 I guess), which suits me just fine. :wink:
  • I'm all over that too. I love Kickboxing. I can do a roundhouse kick as high as my nose. Yes, of course I had hubby mark it on the wall! :devil: :blushing:
  • Ok, just did Day 3. I found it SLIGHTLY easier today. AND, I managed to get 23 in on the last set! Go me! 15 15 12 12 23
  • Just hit redo, and you'll see it again. Then just hit DONE over and over to "complete" it again. My hubby pointed this out to me when I was frustrated over forgetting that the numbers were after I was done. :noway: Smug *kitten*.... P.S. Just take note of what your Max reps were BEFORE you hit redo.....Duh. *face palm*
  • W2 D2 done. It was hard tonight, for sure 16 13 11 11 18 on the last set.
  • You just made my day! I love you!
  • Timmay......35 Wow, we were both wrong!
