    HRM says I burn 271, my hr 168 during the cardio parts, low of 137.

    I only burn on average 150 when doing the Shred per my HRM. With a avg of 136 and a high of 163 BPM.

    L1D5 finished...I too struggle with pushups and the cardio jumping bits (maybe if I had some sport underwear to keep my jiggly parts from jiggling it would be better). Abs are okay...hurt first couple of days but better now...not so tired after either...thinking about taking puppy for a walk...

    I don't think I will take a day off for a bit...will be gone July 1 - 5 or longer...so will get my break then.

    L1D5 down. It seems so much more than that. When do we get a break? Is it two days off per level or per whole 30 day challenge?I'm exhausted and fearing level 2. Those bicycle situps are insane I can never finish them. Night everyone! Stay strong.

    :drinker: I just found this shred thread. I did shred 4 times this week...I am having surgery next Wed. and wanted to get some good workouts before my s. I have to say that I wore a swimsuit yesterday for the first time this summer. I felt "toned" (still need tolose 30lbs.) and hope to start shredding when I recover. I am excited to see that it is working for others. I love Losing it with Jillian...you gotta watch! What is the ChaLean workout?:drinker:

    Hi everyone

    Can I join you all aswell??

    Started the 30 day shred on Thursday and now on L1D3. The first time I did it i thought I'm never going to get through 30 days of this but today I did most of the excercises. I'm finding the jumping jacks a little difficult due to big (.)(.) so will be investing in a sports bra over the weekend!!!!!! My 6 year old son also tried joining in some of the moves with me this morning. He said after that I looked slimmer already bless him!!

    Been really good on my diet since Thursday so hopefully will have a good weight loss this week aswell.

    Take care

    Clare xx

    I might have to take today off, too, since I need to get back to the hospital. DD had to have a c-section but momma and baby are both doing fine.

    It's not a good idea to take 2 days off in a row but I just don't know if I'll be able to get to it today--I hope I will tomorrow, though!

    This sounds like fun. I also have an important event in about 45 days that I would love to look awesome for! Just curious, are there any things you need to buy with this video, like weights, etc? I don't own any at home.

    Does anybody know how to write it down on the exercise log? I'm adding it as 30 day shred and nothing is popping out, I'm not sure how many calories I'm burning :huh:

    Most people use circuit training but the calories to me seem to be way high on that one. Before I got my HRM I just guessed at 150 and when I finally got my HRM I was in fact burning anywhere between 135 - 150 a session. Since you are changing from cardio to strength your heart rate has a chance to come down. I don't find it to burn that many calories. But everybody is different, I would say just take your best guess but try not to eat all of the calories since it may be wrong?

    Weights are required, most people use anywhere from 3-5 pounds.

    Okay guys... I'm just going to be up front and honest about this.

    I'm stopping the shred. It's not because I can't do it.. it's just because I don't think it is right for me right now. I know it is not all about calories but it is honestly only burning around 130 a session for me (per my HRM). I find myself continuing with some of the workouts after they are cooling down so that I can push myself to at least 150.

    Now that I have EA Sports Active I have done that for the past two days and I feel it so much more after 30 minutes of that, and I burn around 165 - 175. Note a huge difference but I just feel it on more places on my body working with it. Plus after I move up to the longer workouts it will be even more.

    I also feel it may be for people that are a bit fitter than me and those that need to 'tighten' up areas. I have no areas to tighten up until some of this fat falls off and that can only happen by burning calories.

    Plus I am just bored to death watching the same video everyday. I find myself cringing at parts because I know exactly what is going to be said and what is coming next. I know it changes after 10 shreds but what can I say, it bores me. This is my first attempt at a workout video and maybe they are just not for me.

    I don't want my dropping out to change anybody else's goal though... I wish everybody luck ! I know you all can do it!

    Done day 5 yesterday. I am doing ok with the cardio now which is good as I have to do the 5k run soon. Unfortunately I couldn't so it today which is annoying as I won't do it tomorrow too. I was flying to my home country today and just couldn't find the time and tomorrow it is family do in the morning and then watching the footbal with everyone. I am over here for almost 3 weeks will be a challenge as it feels like holidays but i'll stick to it. so iam back on monday! look forward to it!

    great to see that everyone is doing so well....

    Completed L1D6 today. Will be taking the day off tomorrow. Endurance with cardio and abs is still getting better each day but strength was a little tougher today. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!

    I did my fourth day yesterday, but I want to catch up since I slacked off a few days. I think I'm going to combine two levels a couple times this week. I also think I'm going to switch it up so I do level 1 one day, level 2 the next day, then level 3 after that. Since I've completed the 30 days before, I feel like this would be possible. Plus, I know I can do her full length videos, so this should be no issue.

    Thanks for your help, I decide not to added since I don't know that exact calorie burn, I made sure not to go over my daily intake

    Its Sunday night and Im so dreading doing my workout, I saw most of you took a break and Im tempted to do so myself.
    But I also did terrible eating at cookouts this weekend and therefore I must get off this couch and start my workout.
    Here goes to L1D7.

    L1D7...Definately working towards 30 days on level 1. This is still killing me. At 220+ lbs it is no surprise that it is tough for me, but hanging in there. It did take a heck of a lot of will power to shred today though...but I really felt tons better after I was done. I need to get 2 lb weights. I have 5's but find them too much, and the 1's I have are like nothing. 2 or 3 more days before I take a few off during vacation. This is fun

    I did levels 1 AND 2 tonight to catch up from my two days off this week. That brings me to 6 shreds.

    Completed L1D7. Today was my weigh in and measure day after 7 days of the Shred. Not real thrilled with the weigth loss because I've been losing around 2 lbs a week without exercising. I only lost 0.2lbs, but I'm thrilled that I lost 3 3/4's inches. Mostly waist and thighs. The jumping jacks have been really tough on my knees (being 218 lbs doesn't help..lol) but I am going to continue and see what happens. Might have to modify the jumping jacks even though Jillian says not to do that. Is there anyone else doing this that is modifying them?
