Day 3 level 2 done. Had a few people comment that I've lost weight which unfortunately not really but trying so must be toning up!!!!! So felt motivated although had to do a set of crunches with a 2 year old sat on me!!!! Did find it....., we I can't say easier just perhaps less hellish!!!! Hope I can get some momentum now - have to buy some jeans tomorrow

I'm a bit of a late night exerciser too and I know it's def a case of procrastination most days. But as long as I get it done I'm happy. Was nearly midnight for me last night too but got it done!
Day 10 level 1 today. Then onto the dreaded level 2!
Took my measurements and have lost 4.5 inches since starting so even though the scales is not my friend at the moment the tape measure certainly is.
Keep it up everyone! We'll look like Anita in no time!

Has anyone done level 3? Level 2 is hurting my hands with the planks, don't know whether to do them on forearms or move to level 3 but not ready really????

i ordered this the other night, i'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of it... just a quick question, you guys have been mentioning weights - do i need to go out and buy some weights or will a couple of tins of something suffice as they do with Davina? 
I'm intending to do it during the week and have weekends off, let's see how it goes!
I'm intending to do it during the week and have weekends off, let's see how it goes!
3lb weights??? My arms feel like they're about to drop off with 2lb ones!
I know what you mean, I am on day 6 level 2 and am considering dropping back to level one, not because of the cardio but the planks are killing my arms!
Hope you don't mind me butting in here - you're all doing so well!
I've done level 1 3 or 4 times a week for the last 3 weeks, have been using 1kg weights (the only ones I have). I have decent stamina for the cardio but my core strength is rubbish... doing the forward lunge & bicep curl I stuggle to balance some days! At the start I couldn't even do one modified push up and now I can just about manage a couple so that's an improvement. I intend to carry on until I can do each exercise to a decent standard before I move on to level 2, which I suspect will take me a lot longer than 10 goes! I feel like a right numpty doing the bicycle crunches at the end, I'm just glad no-one can see me when I do it! :ashamed0005:
I think Jillian is amazing but god her voice annoys me sometimes, especially when I'm struggling, I have to turn the volume down & drown her out with my own music!

Level 2 Day 1
Sweet Jesus. I thought I was giving it a fair go till the last lot of strength and cardio. Jillian is not wrong, my shoulders were burning big time.
Must just remember how hard i found level 1 in the beginning and persevere!
Keep at it everyone! We're doing great!

Oh I agree 100% with you on this!
FYI - The Portuguese word for baby seal is Foquinah. I know this because this was the nickname given to me by a Brazilian guy after he saw me attempting crunches a few years ago!
Awww haha! I think that just about sums up what I look like when doing them!!
