    i'm starting this evening after i put the munchkins to bed. ;)

    i don't have very long until my husband is home on R&R (he's currently overseas) so i need to get cracking! i've just been so unmotivated lately. i actually lost 15lbs as soon as he left and i have gained most of it back with the start of my new birth control. bleh. so time to take control today! someone please keep me motivated... LOL

    3 days done - those push ups are a killer. I can only do the modified ones and they're still so hard. Well I'm 10% of the way through!
  • Me and the OH started it yesterday. My stomach hurts this morning due to ab exercises but I didn't get very sweaty or find it too difficult (I think this is because I'm used to running and a fair amount of aerobic activity). I find the push ups very difficult though after the first few. The OH doesn't exercise at all and he found it very difficult. We both feel better this morning so can't wait to carry on with it.

    Today is day 4 for me. I was really really sore yesterday. Had a hard time with the squats and lunges. But this morning I feel much better. Hoping I will get through easier today.

    G'Mornin Abbie and the Shredders!

    Today will be Day 5 (Lev 1) for me and I am loving it! I am using 5 pd weights and doing fine with them.
    Those freakin' pushups are even getting easier.

    I was down 1.5pds this morning but made a LOT of changes this week in addition to the Shred so could be a combination of everything~ meanwhile, YAY for the scale FINALLY moving!!

    Does anyone else think the 20-25 minutes is going faster??

    Shred on my friends!

    Can I join in? I am on day 3 today. Finding the cardio great and abs too, but my strength is basically just non-existent. I'm doing 30DS plus 20 minutes elliptical and 40 minutes + walking each day. Need to shift some serious weight in the next couple of weeks to hit my May 1 goal!

    Day 6~Lev 1.......

    I am SO PROUD of myself for keeping this up for 6 days in a row~ how about all of you?

    It's one thing to stick to an 'eating plan' for long periods of time, but a PHYSICAL ACTIVITY plan????? Are you kidding me?

    (I'm almost believing that maybe, just maybe, I ROCK!!) lolol:laugh: :laugh:

    These are for all of you.....:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Hi Ladies

    Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this. Done day 1 of level 1 today although it did make me feel very sick and week for about half an hour after :) x

    Hey...how's it going?

    I missed a day yesterday and so am calling today Day 5. Found it pretty steady going today...the first bit is still the hardest but I had more energy by the end...probably to do with andrenalin.

    Have lost 4lb so far (started dieting 2 weeks ago) but I still feel pretty rubbish about myself. It's just my belly that's awful and whatever I do it never goes down.

    I have trouble doing sit ups as I have a metal rod down 4 of my vertebrae which means I can't bend properly....any suggestions?! I'm starting to consider lipo!!!
  • I'm going to try start today I really need to get into shape for summer and all the weddings im going to.

    Day 4 for me today. Had to do it twice today (which wasn't too bad!) as I missed yesterday due to migraine. Ouch

    Bring on day 5!

    :-)

    Roll on day 5 ......

    I think I need to get heavier weights! My HRM hasn't given me a reading that high yet! (I use leg weights, which I hold. Not actually sure how heavy they are!! I guess i should find out...) :-P

    I did it!!! I made myself get up at 4:30 this morning and I did the shred! WOOP!
    Now I've just got to keep this going!

    Wow, that's amazing! I struggle to get out of bed at 8.30... But you 4.30?! Wow.

    Pat on the back!

    Hi all, new to the boards here.

    I started the 30 day shred April 1 for approx. 3 days but ended up getting a rib tattoo so I was out if commission for a week and a half or so while it healed. I started it up again yesterday thinking i was going to die, but surprisingly it was much easier than my very first day. I'm kind of sore today, but nothing like my first time where I could barely walk up and down stairs, and had to plop down on a chair because my leg muscles were angry with me. Haha

    So I'm in!

    About to do L1D2 right after this post!

    Yay.:happy:

    Day 5 done. Switched up to 2kg weights (4.4lb) which was really tough on the upright rows. Think I may be sore later. Managed 6 full push ups today but I can't see I'll ever be able to do a full set without switching to the modified ones.

    Well done on the 2kg weights, and push ups!!



    Day 6 L1 completed not bad, but I still find the upright rows quite hard, even with the 1.5kg weights!

    Lets see what tomorrow brings.....

    Good luck all

    It's going to hut with 1.5kg too. (I was only using 0.75 kg before and could feel it a bit with them) lets just keep thinking about those strappy summer dresses we want to wear. Bye bye bingo wings!

    Evening Ladies.

    I have completed level 1 day 2 (much to my surprise lol). I must admit I have a few issues.

    It makes me feel so weak and sick afterwards (hoping this will pass as I get used to it)

    I have really weak tummy muscles and find it hard to constantly engage my core.......I either forget or when I remember I spend more time on remembering to engage my core than doing the exercise!!!

    I have no idea if I will make it to day 10 as I am already dreading what level 2 will do to me ;);) Really need to take some before pics!

    I just completed day 6, and I still find the push ups hard too. Today I did 3 full pushups in the first round before going to my knee's.... 2nd round, not so easy!! Did one full push up, then only just managed to finish the set on my knee's!!

    Day 7 tomorrow. Let's have it!

    Gonna start the C25K this week too... Anyone else in here doing that also??
