Beginners 30 Day Shred Challenge starts 4/17--CLOSED

Better_Balance_2011

Those that have posted results, that's awesome! I haven't measured yet. I am still quite bloated from the weekend also and have not weighed and probably won't until Thursday. I may even wait until then to take measurements.

I'm still on the fence about shredding again. I am more inclined to do it if I can do it 10 times some time during the time period. Let me think on it though.

I'll post my measurements either tonight or tomorrow morning, promise!

Yep, Ashley you can do each level 10 times whenever during each 14 day period. Or do it 8 times in 14 days, whatever strikes your fancy! I know that I can't commit another consecutive 30 days to Shredding, but splitting it up is definitely do-able for me. And I swear I have gotten more compliments in the past month--I think that it's definitely working!!! :happy: And I don't want to get back into the cardio-only rut. I love my elliptical, but I can see my muscles toning more with this workout!

Congratulations to all of you for your fabulous results! I will post mine later today. I feel more toned and defined but I do not have the weight loss to back it up. I hope my measurements will show some improvement.

I am in for the second round. I definitely like Shred but I miss my cardio and some nights I just can't fit it both in. Having some flexibility will make me not stress if I can't do it all!

-Heath, congrats on your size 6! That is fabulous!

Still considering the challenge, but I have almost a full week collectively I'll be out of town so if I do, I will be slacking during that time. Oh, and too bad, it's during scheduled level 2. :happy:

Great job Dayzeerock!! I'm so impressed with how everyone is doing. I cheated and peaked at the scale this morning (official weigh in day is Thursday) and I was at 151.7. If that number sticks then I will have lost 3 pounds this cycle. Hoping for more pounds and inches lost in Round 2 when I REALLY will add more cardio in. It was hard this time around with my crazy schedule, but I WILL make time for extra cardio at leat 3 days per week during round 2.

Great job everybody!!

My weigh in is tomorrow so I will take measurements then as well. Awesome job everyone!
