30 day shredders...starting Monday!

TeamLeela

I can start on monday, but I have been doing shred for a while now. I just finished day10/level 2, so as of tomorrow, i will be on level 3. Is it okay if I still join? Oh, I'm not doing it everyday, I just want to do it 3 times a week because I go to the gym and take a zumba class throughout the week. but the shred is my only strength that I do. the rest is just cardio.

these are my stats from last month from mfp.

Waist 39.0 on 08/19/10
Hips 41.5 on 08/19/10
Thighs 22.0 on 08/19/10
Bicep 14.0 on 08/19/10
Chest 40.0 on 08/19/10

My current weight is 182.

I will take my measurements again on November 1. I haven't been as dedicated to the shred as I should have, but it's a great workout.

I am in! This will be my second time starting. Last time I got through 5 days of level 1 and developed a knee injury. Just got back in the gym yesterday so Im rearin to go!!! I personally did 1 LB weights & they still killed me. Among many other places the DVD is available at Walmart for 10 bucks. You will also need a mat if your going to be on a hard surface. I have to say that even on day 5 I felt dead. And VERRRYYY SORE. She's a tough cookie!!! No measurments available but my start weight as of today is 286.00 at 5 feet 11 inches.

I am ALL IN for this!!!
I looovveee Jillian Michaels!
Well, except when I'm working out to one of her dvds haha then I hate her
I don't know how often I'll be able to post my weight though, since I don't actually own a scale

What are all the rules for this? Like, do we have a set weigh-in day?

Btw if any wants to add me for support while doing this, feel free
Cuz I'll need some support too haha

I'm in! I doing Zumba tomorrow, so I'll start Tuesday. I'll post stats soon too.

And has anyone seen Biggest Loser... Jillian is SCARY! Hopefully she'll be nicer in the video :laugh: heehee

Haleighallen - you don't own a scale?!?!?!? You go girl. I have an ISSUE with the scale, I use to get on like 8 times a day. And the only reason why I don't now is because my boyfriend hids the damn thing. He brings it out on Mondays so I can weigh in.

What is zumba? I've heard a lot of people mention it but idk what it is lol

And BL is my favorite show everrr!!!! But I don't have cable either >.< I just got my first apartment and can't afford it yet

And no, I don't own a scale, but that isn't by choice, haha. I just haven't been able to afford to get a nice one yet. But I'm working in it for sure!! And heyy, what you're boyfriend does isn't all that terrible. You'd get soooooo discouraged if you weighed yourself every day, because water weight always fluctuates. You should thank him for thinking about your sanity lol

Im in, I just havent had time to measure myself yet.

Make some!!!
Are you doing anything else right now besides browsing MFP?
Take a break and measure!! :bigsmile:

Haleighallen - I'm doing Zumba for the first time tomorrow. I signed up for a 5 week class at my local gym. My sister did it and LOVED it. Its a latin dance class thats designed for fitness/weight loss. They do sell home dvds too. The class is suppose to kick your butt by doing dance moves to fun latin music. If you search zumba videos you can find some on youtube. It'll be a nice distraction to my normal walk/jog/gym routine. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went! I hope Zumba combined with the shred will jump start my weight loss!

And yes - my bf hiding the scale is very much a good thing. I think I have an addiction! I expect my weight to magically go down 10lbs after one good day of eating and working out lol

So my mom has been hearing me talk about the shred and when she came over yesterdaym she asked if I could play a small snip-it for her. Well, she thought it looked easy so she asked if I could start it over and that we can do it together. I can''t tell my mom 'no I won't exercise' so I did it AGAIN, yep, 2x yesterday. I'm not nearly as sore today as I thought I'd be. So in a way, I've kind of done it 3 days in a row, this past Friday and 2 yesterday (making up for Saturday in a way). Not that I'm counting that here, but in my mind I am. So really I've completed 6 days, which kind of helps as my 2yr anniversary is Oct 18th and the weekend before I won't be able to do much of any exercise.

Are any of you planning on moving up to level 2 at a certain day or just whenever? I thought about changing on day 7, but that would be today, so I think I might play it and see how it is first, and if I'm comfy enough to go through with it I will, otherwise level 1 is nice and cozy. Besides I still can't get through the jumping jacks and jump rope back to back without taking a break. I plan on doing the shred later today, mid-afternoon-ish. Until then, I'm headed for a walk, pilates, and maybe WATP w/Leslie Sansone,

Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to read all your stories

I started the DVD last night and I only made it through the second circuit before I just couldn't do anymore! I had just finished an exhausting bike ride...tonight I'm going to do the video first, then the ride!

Starting info:
Weight: 265
Waist: 50.5
Hips: 56

Those are the only measurements I have handy--I'll try to remember to break out the tape measure when I get home tonight and do the rest of me.

I soo want in on this! I started 30DS last Monday and only skipped Friday this past week, so today will be day 7 of level 1 for me. I haven't done any measurements, but I will try to tonight when I get off work. I lost 2.5 pounds this past week weighing in at 128 this morning.

I think this is great to have to report in - I finally had to convince a friend to start doing it too, so I felt more accountable. This will definitely be motivation to stick with it. I would like to have 0-1 day of rest a week. Other than the DVD I'm not doing much; I try to go on long walks (around an hour) on Saturdays and Sundays, trying to get at least 3 1/2 miles each day. I'm also breastfeeding, having a 5 1/2 month old severly limits my workout time - so woo hoo for 30DS!!

Good luck to all and I'm ready to see the weight drop off for us all!

Positively_Me

I'm In! Hope it's not too late...Today will be the first day I re-start 30 day Shred w/ Jillian Micheals. I would LOVE a support system this time around..keeps in on track and in check.

Current weight: 205

Measurements in inches
waist: 36.0
Hips: 44.5
chest: 43.0
Right thigh: 23
left lhigh: 23
Right arm: 13.5
Left arm: 13.25
Right calf: 15.5

I am hoping to be ( in 30 days) 10 - 15 pounds lighter! We can do this!!!!

Do we check in everyday with weight/results or every week?

Have a great day!!!

ME ME ME!! My scale reads 150.9lbs but I went to the Dr. today and their scale reads 153lbs. I am going to go by my scale since it is easier to keep track of weight loss or gain.

SaraTN

OK-- Here it is... and I must admit that I am trying to keep things in perspective because I have been on MFP for a month... I have been eating well, counting everything that goes in my mouth, working out dilligently, etc. I have lost 5 pounds which is a little less than I expected... but on the bright side, I have lost inches. I revamped my program on 9/15 -- and I am hoping to have better results in a couple of weeks. Time will tell.

Starting info:
Weight: 165
Waist (2 fingers above belly button): 34
Abs (at belly button): 35.5
Hips: 39

Keep the perspective that everything worthwhile takes time.

Ok ladies! Anyone get in their first day of Shred yet? What did alll of you first time shredders think? I did this a while back so I knew what to expect and surprisingly it went by faster then it usually does. You just can't beat this workout...26minutes....great workout for a busy mama/wife . I do however hate jumping jacks, I think I'm gonna wear 2 sports bra's for extra comfort next time :laugh: and I think I'll mute Jillian tomorrow and put on some of my own tunes:laugh:

How did day 1 go?

What excersices would you like to improve on level 1?

TeamLeela

LEVEL 2 SPOILER ALERT!!
Deanna, luckily in level 2, jumping jacks are only featured in the warm up. There is a cardio segment with the double jump (simulating jumping rope). There's not even many push ups in level 2, just walk out push ups. but lots of moves were you have to hold yourself in plank pose as the starting position of the move. I really like the abs section in level 2 too! I can finally do all the moves with no modifications and no resting, so I'm moving on to level 3 today. I think I'm up for the challenge.

Everyone keep shredding!
