    Day one down! Wow. Even though it's been a few months since I did this dvd, I wasn't expecting it too kick my butt this hard. My arms are like jello! I am determined to stick with it long enough to see results this time!!!
    Starting weight- 124.4 ( 4.4 pounds up from my last weigh in when I fell off the wagon. :sad: )
    Goal weight- 118

    Waist- 27
    Hips- 36

    Day one down! I didn't know what to expect and didn't have any weights so I made it through OK. I will get me a set of weights soon, then Im sure it will be a whole different story! How did everyone do?

    So I have completetd day one! it is hard but I feel great for completing it! I can really feel my arms though! I think they are my weakest part. The crunches were ok and the cardio got me out of breath! And I did really sweat! I wonder what I'll feel like tomorrow. I look forward to the point when it starts to get easier :laugh:

    But for today well done to us all :smile:

    I've been debating something. Let me know what you think. I've done the Shred before (and basically made it though once over a year ago). I was thinking about alternating levels each day, meaning I'd do level 1 one day then level 2 the next day then level 3 and start again at level 1. I've heard that you're not really supposed to work the same muscles two days in a row. What do you think?

    Hi Daisy,

    I'm in too.. I have the DVD...Are we starting this tonight? I was doing the DVD two to three times a week and it is definitely intense, but worth every minute of it.

    How does this all work with all of us doing the workout? I don't mean to sound stupid, but I just joined this website this morning..

    Thanks

    We are all doing the 30 days of the Shred and telling if we did it daily, I believe. We're keeping each other accountable. :smile:

    Count me in! I bought it a while ago, did a couple days and then lost my mojo. Lets get it done together!

    Edit: I'll actually start tomorrow as my evening is already packed with 60 minutes of yoga and 60 minutes of Zumba after work :-) Ill finish behind everyone on 7/2!

    I was hoping a new group would pop up! I started my Shred today also, the plan is to wake up a little early each day and do it in the morning. I've done it on and off for a week or so just to test the waters but am ready to commit. I'm hoping this will help push me below the 200 mark (203 now)!

    I never thought such basic exercises could kill me. Who would have thought jumping jacks were that hard?? Hahaha

    Good luck all!

    Hi Ms172u

    Yes as it has been said we all just do it daily (if that is what you're planning to do) and then post here daily once it's done. It's just to keep motivated and maybe share results. It just feels good when you've done the shred and then you can come here and share it!

    I hope you'll enjoy it :smile:

    Finished Level 1 Day 1!

    I am still alive so that is a good sign. :tongue: This was also my first workout with my new HRM (Polar RS200) and I can not gush enough about how much I :heart: it! I burned 150 calories during the shred, doesn't seem like a lot but I was in fact covered in sweat after!

    After the Shred I walked on my treadmill for 3 miles. My treadmill had always told me that 3 miles = 424 calories but now with my nifty HRM I know that in fact I am only burning 292! I'm glad I am not one that eats all of my exercise calories or I could have really been messing up. Not sure how these equipments are allowed to put things like calories on there and them be so wrong. :huh:

    Anyway that is my gripe over. :blushing: Glad to have day 1 out of the way... bring on day 2!

    I tried this today for the first time...picked it up on way home from work. I know I am not going to be able to do it everyday for the whole 30 days because I am going camping for few days first week of July, but decided not to use that as an excuse not to try.

    I am in awe of all of you who got through day 1...I, myself, cheated a bit...modified a bit...rested a bit...but didn't quit til the end. Now that I am done....OUCH!!!! I hurt...mostly my inner thigh right now, but I am sure I will have a few more ouches by morning. I do like the idea of getting up a bit early and working out then doing more in evening. Even though the workout was intense and I burned twice as much calories as walking, I still feel like I haven't put in enough time.

    Starting weight: 225.0 ish....official weigh in not til TOPS a bit later.

    I did my Day 1 Level 1. Yeah...she kicked my a** like she usually does. I can do most of it except for pushups....So I do a few then breathe heavy til she's done. Not only did I do that, I cleaned my house and went for a 6 mile bike ride. I am trying to kick back into gear...kinda at a standstill.
    Kepp it up girls...I am getting up early for work so I can do this before I go. If I wait til after work...I won't do it...I am a 12 hr nurse so you know I will be tired...:tongue:

    I just finished L(1) day (2) of the shred and wooooaahhh buddy. I thought it was supposed to get easier???? It was a lot harder because I was sooooo sore. But I finished. My thighs and pec muscles hurt the most. Excited for it to get easier though. Tomorrow day (3) . Great job everyone. Keep up the hard work!!!

    Hey Daisy,
    I'll join you. I don't what the Shred thing is about, but I've got Zumba fresh out of the package and want to see a change!

    I like how you set your goals. They are equal to mine! I should lose 50 pounds by New Years too! Can you tell me what SHRED is about?

    For those of you who haven't received your dvd yet--here's a link to the WHOLE THING online:

    http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTMxNDMwNzY=.html

    I've used it when I don't have access to a dvd player. It's a bit choppy at times but the last time I used it, it played pretty smoothly! I'll be using it today because my (still!) pregnant DD is using the laptop with the dvd player on it! (Baby was due laast Wednesday.)

    First of all thanks to SoliQ who befriended me just when I was about to procrastinate this to another week. I went to Best buy and after my softball game popped in the DVD. It looks so easy but its definately a challenge. So day 1 down, 29 to go. I did weigh myself today and I will be taking measurements to monitor my progress. Anyone know how to put this in as excersise? 30 day shred is not in the database and I did see that one of you with a monitor mentioned 150 calories burned?
    Thanks

    Despite my distaste for Jillian and her boring 30-day shred and my love for Chalene I decided to start a 5:00 am workout regime (and I’ve only worked out at night to Turbo Jam for 4 years now).

    I’m pretty bummed at the moment (today is day 1) after logging to see it only burned 166 calories. I guess I’ll give it 30 days but that means I’ll definitely have to stick to a 1200 cal diet and no 2000cal maintenance/cheat Saturdays.

    I’m hoping to save time by doing it in the morning but this means a 10:00 pm bed time in order to survive. I’m the worlds worst morning person – this will be fun! Ha ha not! ;)

    * Ps: way to go pmjsmom for posting a link to 30-day shred in full online. My copy is burned from my sister and I burned all my TJ videos for her years ago and recently Chalene Extreme which I bought original still wrapped for $25 on Craigs List - woo!

    Use "circuit training".

    L1 D2 done. Only took a bit of mental convincing to get my rotund derriere out of bed and downstairs. Still cheated a bit...can't do all the push ups, and modified a bit...but much better than last night. Achy this morning... but feel good.

    I'm new to working out, in general but have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for the last 3 months and really seeing results.

    Do you think it's too much to do the Shred in the morning (530) and 45-1 hour at the gym in the evenings?

    L1D2 completed for me! I did Day 1 last night at around 10pm and then walked 3 miles. Then today I did Day 2 and walked another 3 miles at around Noon.

    I am exhausted!!

    I think tomorrow I'll just do the shred and leave the walking for another day. I just hate that I sweat my butt off and I push myself and I'm only burning around 150 calories (per my HRM) after the 30 minutes. But I do know it is working cause I can feel it everywhere and I am sure that is all that matters. :happy:

    I'd try it out and see how you feel. I am planning on doing something similar several times a week.
