    Just finished my D5L1 and thanks to this wonderful sinus infection was my hardest day to make it through the cardio part! I am loving this workout though. I really feel like I accomplished something when I am done. I am doing another 40 or so minutes of various workouts besides this. Can't wait to see everyones results at the end of the month! Keep going everyone.......

    If you believe you can you will. If you don't think you can you won't. Clear your mind of can't....

    Hi Everyone...sorry to ditch my commitment for 30 Day Shredd...

    I did Sunday and Monday, after that I did my Treadmill on Tuesday, thursday, friday morning and I couldn't do 30 DS (evening) due to long work hours (I know no excuse) by the time I get home, it was late and my body was tired....
    But this morning, i did my 30 day shredd instead of treadmill for 45 minutes by repeating the steps few times...and It felt great...

    So literally today is my Day 3 Level 1 (::sad: :sad: :sad:

    I will try to do it again later in the afternoon for 25 minutes so I can catch up....

    Today I'll be doing Day 6 Level 1. I had planned to do 30 days straight (realizing that this might be too lofty a goal) but I had to miss yesterday as we had company the first half of the day and were out the other half of the day. Disappointing but I'm hopping back in the saddle today! I stepped on the scale this morn and had gone up a couple pounds which is also disappointing but I knew to expect it. I always gain a few when I start a new gym workout. I can't remember which thread on MFP I found this site on but for those of you noticing a water weight gain it's a good article to read to keep you motivated to continue! I don't think it was this thread, sorry if it was!!!

    finally finished day 7 :) Got the fiance involved in one day phew I did not feel bad for not being able to do it all the first day now. He has a labor intensive job and still couldn't complete all the way. However, now he is going to do it with me :)

    Finished D7L1 and loving it! It is still hard as heck but I love all the different muscles it works! I have a sinus infections (still) so the cardio is the hardest to get through. I am able to make it through the rest easier now however! Is there anyone else who is scared to even see level 2? I am! I am leaving on vacation for 4 days this Thursday and won't get this in but there will be tons of walking so taking my pedometer and have to have 10,000 steps each day! I will pick up where I left off when I get back. Hope it doesn't set me back to much!

    I have gotten 2 other friends to join me on this challenge and we all agree it is HARD but ohhhh so worth it so far. Can't wait to see the results in 21 more days.... well 25 for me. I will get it done.

    Hope everyone else is hanging in there! Keep going even if your mind starts to tell you that you can't. I am telling you Jillian hits me right on the head with what she says everytime I am getting so tired I "think" I want to quite she says something like (I know you think your going to die but keep going) I talk back to the video at this point as I am so there but it sees me through. Thanks for setting up this challenge it is exactly what I need.

    Don't give up! I just completed day 6 L1 today and it does get better. You'll be amazed at how much more you can do in a few days if you keep at it.

    Oooh, I hope I can get in on this thread with all of you! I am on L1D4 today. I use 3 pounds weights. I am alternating with C25K as well, just started wk 3 day 1 on that. I did take my measurements and was thinking of checking them every two weeks to see my progress. I so need to be "Shredded"!!

    So I have started doing level one in the morning and level two in the evening.

    I was wondering if anybody else if finding themselves after doing so many days in a row wanting a more extreme workout?

    :smokin: I am done with D8L1 but am leaving on vacation tomorrow and won't be back till Sunday! will get lots of walking in but am afraid I will have to do level one again for a while after taking 4 day off from doing it. We will see. Taking my pedometer so I get 10,000 steps minimum. Not the same as getting my heart rate up like that though. Better than nothing.

    I did reach my goal of getting to ONEderland before I left so very happy about that today this Weigh in Wednesday! Yahooo. Porgress feels so good. I will see how you are all doing when I get back. Keep going!

    I have to admit I haven't looked at it but level 1 is still kicking my butt on the cardio part (for some darn reason) so moving on to level 2 scares me. lol... I will overcome this fear. I will succeed.

    see you all in 4 days.

    I can see how that might happen. For me I ride my bike to and from work (only 30 minutes in total) and do the Shred after the kids are in bed, so sometimes it takes all my energy just to make it through, BUT yesterday I had the opportunity to do the Shred before I went to work and was energized and probably could have done it later when I got home from work..

    I was doing good with it for about the first 6 days or so but 2 nights ago I was really full still by nightime (I usually do it before going to bed), and I felt like I was going to be sick, so I stopped. Last night I was out late and didn't get home til way after I usually go to sleep, so I didn't do it, now tonite will be the same as last night most likely. Three days without it :/ I hope I can get back into it again when I get some time!
