    Today is my last day of level 2! WHOO HOO! I can't wait to see what level 3 has in store for me.

    I can most definitely tell a difference in my clothing. I am not going to measure until I am finished and then I will post my results.

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Way to go girl!!!

    Level 1 Day 7 complete!!! Yay! I felt so good afterwards that I also did 25 minutes of yoga/pilates.

    Now I'm starving! What do you guys eat after you workout? Something high in protein, I assume...I just can't seem to find something high in protein but low in calories. Any suggestions?

    I heard ya! I eat a string cheese stick, cause I am always hungry after I work out and I keep those on hand for such occasions :)

    Level 2 Day 4 complete. My arms were a bit sore today and I did think about skipping the shred. But instead I decided to use my baby weights (1pound) which was much better. I have been using the 5 pound weights and finding it a bit much on level 2. I have started a new programme at the gym as well which is working my arm muscles more too. I was glad that I did it in the end but I am thinking of having a rest day when I am half way through, I just feel I need a break :smile:

    Were you using 5 lb weights on the side lunges with anterior raises on level 1? Wow! I tried it one day and it KILLED me. I use 3 lb weights most of the time. The rows and chest presses I use 5 lbs but I can't handle them on any of the other strength exercises.

    Workout Day 15 done! Yesterday I went to my friends Boot Camp that she runs and WOW did she kick my butt! I had originally planned to complete her workout then come home to Shred Level 2 but I took a day off of the shred after dying during her boot camp. I still completed my 100 pushup/200 situp programs but it wasn't pretty.

    Today I completed day 5 of Level 2! Half way DONE!!!

    Bummed that I only lost .2 lbs this week though :( That's what I get for being so lax last weekend! Not again....I fluctuate WAY to much! Any suggestions for improving when out with friends. I'm going to my future sis-in-law's bachelorette party this weekend and of course I'll want to drink and partak in the potluck dinner we're having!

    i have not done any exercise since the beginning of the month :-(...which probably explains why i have not lost an ounce either.

    Hey all, I started level 3, day 1 yesterday. I had to workout last evening due to a crazy schedule yesterday morning. Level 3 is a little more intense. I feel it today for sure! She steps it up and I had to modify and follow Anita, but I am ok with that! I will be doing day 2 this evening. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    So I missed yesterday as I had a super busy day and I think because I had made the decision to have a break from the Shred for a day I thought it may as well be when I just had no time anyway.

    But i got back into it today and I felt so much better :smile: . Level 2 day 5 done.

    I did go out and buy some lighter weights though, I did level 1 with the 5 pound weights but that was just too much for level 2 for me. So I now have 2.2pound weights (in Australia our weights are in kilos so this was the closest to 3 pounds I could get) - much better :happy:

    kaffro, I cant believe you are on level 3 already - you are killing it, great job!!! I will be interested to see your results at the end :smile:

    I so wanted to skip last night...another busy day prevented me from working out in the AM. But, I started out on my elliptical and then did the shred. Level 3, day 2. Woo! My legs are feeling it today for some reason. Must be the samurai squat things, I was into those big time hahaha. I can't believe I am on level three either! It seems to be flying by for me. I can't wait to post results!

    I've been kind of hit and miss with my routine this week. I did a fast this past weekend so wanted to take it easy on the working out so as not to use up my energy stores. It was just a 24 hour fast and it made a nice impact on the scale. Then my roommate was in a car accident on Tuesday night and that's left me a little shaken up, but he's okay and was only in the hospital for a few hours so not too big of a deal. It just gave me a little sense of mortality.

    Anywho, congratulations to all those who have been participating. I know I've noticed some changes in my waist, my legs, and chest. I measured on Sunday because I measure every 4 weeks, but I'll be measuring again on the 31st to see the contrast between my starting stats and the finishing ones. Need to hit these last 9 days hard! Here we go!!!!
