    Hey Ladies!

    Would you mind another gal joining your group?? I just started the 30 day shred (on L1 D2), and looking for some inspiration, and some people to keep me on track...I am going to Disney in 3 weeks and would like to look decent in a bathing suit!!

    Thanks!! :)

    i say no problem! It doesnt seem like all of our "original" girls have been posting... so whats one more?

    Anyway, L1 D5 done ladies. I am halfway done with level one! I had been using 2lb weights (my husband made them for me..lol) and today i upped it to 3lbs. I havent lost much weight but I sure do feel good and if you check out my "motivation" post, u'll see how much these past few days have really changed my body. I have been on MFP for 20 some odd days now so i cant wait to see how i look in another 20! Keep it up ladies!

    LOL @ holding your boobs with one arm, cracking up. I'm right there with you. I did that at first too, and then I paused it, put on a regular bra, and a sports bra over it. Much better!


    Thanks for the tip...I just did L1D3 this morning and I was able to use both hands while jumping :D It was a litte easier today but I still suck at push ups.

    Heather - Congrats on the loss! I definitely notice a difference, especially in your tummy! Go you! Keep it up :)

    I just finished L1D4. I kicked Jillian's *kitten* today. I still had some soreness in my thighs from the previous days but hell, I know it's working when I'm sore! I also ran 5K before doing the Shred today and feel GREAT!

    I'm not doing the 30 day shred with you all, I'm on Level 2...my question is what size weights do you all use? I use 3 and 5 pounders...depending on the exercise.

    I'm using 3 pound weights right now, although I plan on using 5 pounders once I get to day 5 of each level ( I said I'm planning, but don't know if I'll be able to handle it).

    D4, L1 done! I'm actually feeling pretty good...but my shoulders are dead!

    Hmm, I never thought about increasing my weights. Maybe I should up to 5lbs!

    I'm currently on L1 and currently alternating between 3 & 5 # weights. For the most part I stick w/ 5#s...

    L1D4 done! I can finally say it was easier! Though the push ups kill me. I use 5 pound weights.

    Jury Duty tomorrow! Not sure how much I'll be able to check in.

    I usually do this in the morning but my husband schedule didnt work it out that way but I did it! Day 6 of level one for me. I gotta be more careful with my knees, its way easier now but when i try to get lower in the knee area it started to hurt. I'll be okay just a reminder for myself tomorrow! Lol. I had knee problems in high school (played bball, softball, and volleyball) and had to wear a brace so i guess ill be getting that out again soon!

    Almost to level 2 ladies! Keep on a truckin!

    D5. l1 done for me....I initially wanted to use 5 pound weights throughout, but instead I used 3 pounders for just the squat and press and the side lunge with anterior raises...everything else I used 5s....man did my arms kill! Then, I guess because of the endorphins from Shred, I did Shred it with Weights, level 1 with a 10 pound kettlebell....I usually use a 5 pound one so I knew this was risky....anyhow, once I got to the really intense part I was ready to die and even though I did stop to catch my breath a time or two I made it through. Soooo glad I did!

    I did L1D5 yesterday even though I REALLY REALLY REALLLLLYYYYYYY wanted a day off. I'm hoping i will find the ambition to do Day 6 today because I know on Friday I will have to skip that day (as I'm working 12+ hours)

    L1, D6: finished

    Thanks for this thread, it is the only thing that got me out of bed this morning. I am feeling pretty sluggish today and called my alarm a lot of names when it went off at 5. I was so close to going back to bed, but I wanted to be able to say that I did it. I did it!

    I am only using a 3 lb weight. I think that I whould use a heavier one for some of the moves. I'm still really struggling with those side lunge/anterior raises, even at 3 lbs.

    Have a terrific day everyone!

    That is the one that kills me at 5 lbs. I haven't been able to do the arms on every lunge yet. Have to rest the arms a couple of times.

But then again, if i'm hurting I wont get anything out of the workout. We'll see how i feel tomorrow!

    thanks for the motivation ladies! Level 2 here we come!

    Ugh, I'm lacking motivation big time today (again!). I'm just so exhausted.
