    I am on Day 3 also, no wait, I just finished Day 3, lol. I really like it, love the fact that my face is extremely red and I am VERY sweaty when I get done. Thats when I know that I have REALLY worked out.

    Hey sis...glad that we are on the same board...lol

    Hello everyone, I'm a little new to MFP as well and so far I've just been trying to find a place to fit in. Do you all mind if I join you? I admit I have been doing the shred for a couple of weeks, but I can use the motivation and it definitely won't hurt to keep going. I was so excited that I didn't even check the entire thread so forgive me if I ask questions that have been answered previously.

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm a newish MFP member. Can I still joint this challenge??

    I fell off the wagon for a couple of weeks because I rolled my ankle playing soccer. This looked like a good way for my to get back into in and stay motivated.

    I plan on doing the Shred 5x/week. I currently work 6 days/week and need a day to do errands etc.

    The more people we have the better I think. most of us are on day three, some have just started. A couple have had to take a day off.
    Myself and some others are adding this into our regular workout routine. Others are Just doing the SHRED. Do what ever think is right for you.

    Welcome and GOOD LUCK!!!

    Day # 1! wow...I thought this was going to be easy LOL I was way wrong! I sweat my *kitten* off.

    and apparently, I can not do push ups!!

    do you all do something else during times you are unable to do certain things?
    I kept trying but I just could not do them!!

    Also, 5 pound weights = toooooo heavy. I need to get smaller ones STAT.

    ;) Cant wait to do it again!!

    haha. day one i could not do 1 'girl' push up.... now 3 days later I can do 10 LOL. Maybe one day i can do them properly? Just do what you can with the pushups. go on your knees and just TRY your hardest, they don't need to be pretty.

    I use 3 lb weights and on some workouts, like the side lunge arm raise, I do it until i think my arms are going to fall off then I just drop the weights and do the rest without.... Still burns, love it. I DO wish I had 5lbs for the butterfly press...

    Instead of waiting till you get weights just use your 5lbs for what you can and either drop them or use soup cans for the rest till you get smaller weights.


    I got my hubby to do it with me today. He called Jillian a *****. LOL.

    Just did Day 2.....it was much better than Day 1...
    I did all of the jumping jacks with no substituting this time...I am so proud of me. I did one set of wall push ups and and then the girl push-ups and I was able to do 10 in a row...way better than the 5 I could barely do on Monday
    Time to get me some 3lbs weights though for now I am using two cans of peas :blushing:

    and to top it all off I did it right after 40 minutes of Zumba Woo Hoo!!!.....didnt think I could do it but I told myself I can let myself get more days behind the group....so glad I joined this group...now I have an extra push to do this workout

    I started doing Shred because I hurt my calf muscle while playing soccer...it only ended up being sore for two days and now I have to do another 27 days of Shred, lol

    Day 3 complete for me! Yay.

    I even did a cardio aerobics class at the gym.

    I'm still switching up her moves to make it a lil more challenging for me - however this may bite me in the butt come Level 2 - didn't watch them ahead of time to see if anything changes or if it's all new.

    My fly's I do in a "bridge" position. Punches are a combination as well as sometimes w/ 3lb dumb bells. I still hate side lunge with lateral raise and I use 3lbs for that. Everything else is a mix between 3, 5, and 8lb.

    Keep up the good work! We've almost made it to level 2

    You can do it, Amchamp. In the beginning it's going to be HARD!!! But it will get easier each day. Some days will be harder than others, but you just have to push through it. If you really want to do it you will.

    It took me 3 years of *****ing and complaining about my weight. I finally decided to REALLY do something about it. I have had success immediately and I am on a roll.

    Don't make your goals too unattainable. Set mini goals and meet them and in the end you will meet your long term, big goal. Reward yourself when you meet your mini goals. You can do this!!! Track your food and be honest about it. Stop drinking the soda (even diet) and stop with the sugar. But treat yourself occasionally. Otherwise you will binge. Find alternatives to the sugar, eat fruit instead.

    Put your DVD in and do what you can. Then tomorrow, do it again. And on and on and on.

    (I also suggest you read the success stories in the forums. They are amazing.)

    I just finished day 4 of level 1. My stamina was better and I was able to do more high impact work tonight. I also held a can of tomatos (14oz) in each hand as weights tonight. The other 3 nights I didn't use any weight. I could def feel the difference.

    YES! She is right, read the stories and look at before and after pictures. Thats what I do when i feel like I don't want to do it today.
    DO NOT DRINK YOUR CALORIES!!! Thats one of the things people just don't get. Drink plenty of water and add ALL Your food, don't forget the dressing, butter or mayo :) it gets easier when you get the hang of it and when you start seeing a change you will get addicted. I lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks and haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. BUT I lost an inch in my arms... Still feels good. Do Jillians workout. She will kick your butt and you will want to puch her in the teeth, but just remember we are doing it together :)
    Good luck and check in everyday!!!!


    oh yes, AND don't hurt your self.
