Cheylaing

I measured this morning which I never look forward to but HOORAY!!!!! I will list them like this start/today: hips (or fat as I like to call it) 45in/42in waist 37 in/35 my thiegh is the same but weight is 185/180!! I lost 3 pounds this week!! HOORAY!!! :happy:
I am still on level 2 and feel like I am doing pretty good...still struggle with some but will keep going!!

That's excellent..makes it all worth it eh :-) well done

angievaughn

Well...before I started level 3 last night...I measured myself....and from doing level 2.....i lost............5 inches again!!!!

1/2 inch right arm
1/2 inch left arm
1 inch in the chest....not sure if that is a good thing!!
nothing in the waist or hips!!...which sucks!!
1/2 inch in the right thigh
1 inch in the left thigh
1inch in the right calf
1/2 in the left calf

for a total of 5 inches......but the scale is not moving...it's staying the same!!!! Which I can not stand!!
What good is inch lost vs weight loss? Can anyone tell me????

angievaughn

Level 3.......I did all the modified moves......and i probably shouldn't of. But I was pretty worked up about how hard it looked.....and did not give myself any credit....so when I was done....i didn't feel that I had done my best....so I did Leslie Sansome 3 miles fast video!!

Tonight....it is hardcore with JM!!!

hey ladies i am back after a week of intense OT at work... I totally slacked last week!

I got bored of level 2 after doing it for 6 days straight, so I went out to buy the JM metabolism video... and Target didn't have it! So I bought the "Shred it with Weights" video. Has anyone heard of it? It's a kettleball workout, but I did it with an 8lb weight and... OMG. I couldn't work out for two days because my muscles were so sore. I definitely recommend that video

Anyway, my work schedule is back to normal, and last night I started Level 3... WHOA. Angie, I'm in the same boat with you - except I could barely do the modified versions! You know the jumping butt kicks? I could barely get off the ground lol. However, that's what starting level 2 felt like... so we can power through it!

How many days does everyone have left? I have ten more days... I wonder if level 3 will be easy by then. Prolly not! I can't wait to see everyone's final measurements, and post mine :bigsmile:

Glad you are back!! I have 9 more days!! Yay me!!!
I have heard of Shred it with weights...but have not tried it!!
I have to figure out what to do next......it was easy to know what work out I was going to do all month long!!
Now after the 30 day shred....I have no idea!!!

MoonMyst3

Just wanted to say GREAT JOB LADIES!! :drinker:
You're all pushing through it and from the sounds of it, it's really paying off.
Congrats on your commitment! You're all awesome! :smooched:

I may be a little behind but I will continue to post until I'm finished my 30 days. :flowerforyou:

sdgirl22

Even after my 30 days, i'm going to keep posting too. I just started a month long diet plan (the women's health deadline diet, pretty easy and flexible) and I'd like to alternate Level 3, the shred it with weights, and running for another 30 days. I'm coming up to my deadline (June 6th) so it's crunch time!!

miss_jamaica

Hey Ladies! Today was my 30th day! I'm 5'2 with a small frame and lost 8.5 pounds, 3" in my waist, and feel so much stronger! ...I'm still on Level 1, and I plan to do Level 1 every other day for another month, alternating with something else. At least, that's the current plan. I'm thinking Level 2 in May. Yeah, I take it slow!

SSampley

Angie! Inches are INCHES!!! Inches gone make your clothes fit and feel better! Dont down play the inches...

Cheylaing~ Thanks!! It does make it worth it I cant tell you how excited I am about getting below 180! haha Thanks for starting this challange.

Karlajamaica Your doing good, if taking it slow is helping its great! I love that we can all do our own pace.

Sdgirl~ Glad your back!! and good for you for coming back!! Thats the hardest part!!

SassyT3~So glad your gonna stick with it and keep posting...I'm totally loving the update!!

I think everyone is doing a good job! I am still on level 2 and dont know that I will make it to level 3 by the 30 day mark but I am ok with that, I have had trouble with balance and and sometime my left calf will get so tight, that I was scared to go up to level 2 for a while...I am proud of all of us for sticking to it!!

sdgirl22

@ karla - WOW!!! That's really amazing Congrats!! That inspires me to keep up with it.

@sampley - thank you ma'am! Are you still splitting workouts and doing the shred one a day and treadmill once a day? I was wondering how your progress is going. I tried to do it, and I managed for two days (was totally proud of myself)... but I can't get out of bed that early. Also, have you noticed you noticed an increase in speed or endurance? After one week of shred, I went from running at 4.5mph to 5.2, and I can run a mile in 10:30...for me that's crazy fast!!! I think the improvement in my run time is my favorite part of this program (ok, ok, SECOND.. nothing bets those inches coming off).

SSampley

I have been doing c25k 3 days a week but still have been doing the 30 day shred in the mornings (no working out on sunday) and I have noticed a total difference! I drag myself out of bed at 5:15 so I can do the shred in the morning and I have been running on the treadmill at night while watching a show on tv or after the kids went to bed...I think this has totally helped my endurance and strength, also I am not feeling as tired once I am up and going...but boy when it is bedtime forget about it! I am out! Plus I noticed my legs would be soar but the running 3 days and walking the others have helped with the soreness but I will say it was a hard habit to pick up took me about a week and a half to two weeks and now I get up on my own.

angievaughn

Only 7 more day of the 30 day shred for me!! I kicked it up last night during my workout.....and today....my arms are killing me!!! And my butt!!! My husband looked at me all crazy when I was rubbing my butt last night when he got home!!! Oh well....he will get use to it!!!

Everyone is doing such a great job!!!!

sdgirl22

I'm on day 21 right now, but I decided to take my measurements anyway...and I'm too stoked to keep it to myself

Day 1-
weight 166, bust 39.8, ribs 33, waist 34.5, hips 40.5, thigh 20.8

Today-
weight 162.5, bust 38, ribs 32.5, waist 32, hips 39, thigh 20

... a loss of 3.5lbs and a total 7 inches!! I'm especially happy that majority of the loss was where I needed it most, in my waist, and not where I didn't want to lose it - my chest. I Jillian!!!!

angievaughn

Just 4 more day of the shred!!!

I can't wait to see if I have lost any more inches!! I have given up losing weight with this workout!!!!

March is almost over...and I am almost done!!!

question is...what do I do next??????

sdgirl22

ripped in 30 days? :P

kate_81284

I'm picking up my copy tonight. I'm so excited to try it out since I've heard such good things about it!

angievaughn

ripped in 30 days? :P

I have not thought about the ripped in 30day.......

SSampley

I had a BAD weekend I totally didnt have time for Sat but I do on Sunday, which I normally skip...my husband flooded the house on friday night so after vacuuming water up for a hour I couldnt feel my wrists and my knees are brused I hope that this week starts off better, I did work out this morning but not as hard I think I am a little freaked out by my knee making that new popping sound...I hope it will be ok for the run tonight!! I dont expect much weightloss on the scales...I have not been eating out alot so with the flood friday we had to find something quick which kids wanted pizza....I did opt for thin crust , but sat we were out of town and I really just didnt know what was safe to order at fast food...oh well I guess all I can do is pick up and go forward today...

angievaughn

@SSampley....sorry to hear you had such a bad weekend!!! I would say...with all the work you did on the house....the food will balance itself out!!....so let's start this week off clean and clear!!!

I only have three more workouts for level 3....and I am done!!! I will be able to say....I DID IT!!!!

Still not sure what I want to do next....don't feel like I can go back to the workout I was doing before...It seems too easy now!!! But if I want to lose weight....I am going to have to kick up the cardio!!! JM has helped me lose lots of inches.....

When I am done...i will post my final results!!!!

I hope everyone is still hanging in there with me!!!

angievaughn

I am wondering...who is still doing the 30 day shred??? We should only have a couple of more day left....and I don't see many people on!!

Can we get a head count.......?????

I am in of course!!

angievaughn

Guess I will check back tomorrow!!!! :ohwell:

SSampley

I am still in, I am on day 25? or 24? I know next tue will be my final, I am not gonna weigh myself or measure myself today because of the bad weekend. I have tried to do it every day except Sundays and I have been pretty consistant and if I missed I made one up either on Sunday or twice in one day so I still have a week left! Seriously hoping to drop below 180...thats where I ALWAYS get stuck...

angievaughn

@ssampley....I have only measured myself at the beginning and ending of each level!!!

Good to know you are still in it!!!!

Maybe you will jump over the 180 this time!!!!!

MoonMyst3

I'm still here!! To make a long story short, I lost the most weight last week since I started MFP - 3.5lbs!! Thing is, I didn't work out at all :indifferent: as I was recuperating from a nasty head/chest cold and a thigh injury. So I tried to figure out what I did differently. I think I have come up with an answer - calorie intake - but am testing my theory out this week sans the working out. I will know whether or not I am right on Friday when I weigh-in. Regardless of the outcome on Friday, I will continue with the 30DS until I have completed my 30 days. I made myself a promise I would complete this and complete it I will. I know most of you will be finished next week --- YAaAaA, GOOD FOR YOU & CONGRATULATIONS!!! :flowerforyou: --- but, as I've said before, I'm going to continue to log until I'm done. Hopefully, you will come back and drop me a note so I know what you're doing next and how that's going. Thanks for all the support and chat soon. :bigsmile:

PS - I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL OF YOUR FINAL RESULTS!! :drinker:

WalkingGirl1985

I just finished Day 27..almost there! :bigsmile:

I noticed my strength has drastically improved..went from doing like 2-3 full push-ups, most modified..then doing like 15 FULL ones on my toes! I'm having a more toned look to my upper arms.(still flabby underneath a little) and my abs coming in..I've lost inches as well noticing how my clothes fit.

First two weeks was brutal physically and mentally..had like 3-4 binges the first two weeks alone and didn't see much of a weight loss difference..then these last two weeks was much easier and didn't binge..lost like 3 pounds so far..I will weigh in probaly on Monday..on my weigh in day and let you guys know the final count! :happy:

angievaughn

I am still holding steady on my weight....weigh in was this morning...and a few ounces off...but nothing to log in!!

When I measure on my last day of the shred...I will be sure to post what I have lost!!

I am glad there are some people still hanging in there!!!

I still struggle on all levels....but I stuck with it and did it every night!!! I am pretty proud of myself and any one who is still trying to get through it!!! It's not easy....and we can say we DID IT!!!

Way to go everyone!!!

angievaughn

Today is my last day of the 30 day shred!!! I will do the work out tonight....then on Friday I will take my final picture and measurements.........

I will finally be able to say I DID it!!!

No one seems to be checking this thread much.....since I was the last one to post yesterday!!!

But I will keep posting until Friday!!!! I want to say I followed through with it!!!!

I did it...I did it...I did it!!!
Finished the 30 Day Shred!! I even kicked it up a notch and did it with 5 lbs weights!!!! I almost wanted to cry....because I did something and followed through just for me!!! It's a first!!!
I will measure tonight......I have already lost 10 inches on this program....I wonder if i have lost anymore....even if I have not.....10 inches is nothing to take lightly!!!! I hope everyone still hangs in there!!!

skinnymoomoo

I've had about a week off, I should have been finished today, but nevermind, I'm in 2 minds as to whether to finish this 30 days, or start again or just stop altogether and focus on P90x ... hmmmm :-/
