    I've been exercising faithfully and counting every calorie and hitting my first plateau-- hormones playing a part, I think-- very annoying.

    I only did 3/4 of level 3. I did 40 minutes of interval training before and ran out of time before it was time to get ready for work. Level 3 was definately a challenge.
    I plan to try it again tomorrow.

    Keep it up everyone!

    Yesterday, painted 2 bedrooms (standing up and down on a chair), shredded and power walked for 30 minutes...
    Today, I woke up with very sore thighs and shoulder blades, golfed 2 hours pushing my clubs where I burn roughly 760 calories AND........ will do shred tonight! Yeah baby! Keep on rolling! Hope to melt 2 pounds this week, but the scale isn't budging!
    Keep On Keepin on, I say !!! Jillian can sure kick butt! Good work everyone!

    Shredded this morning. Level 3. My wrists are getting stronger but still complaining. More plank moves! In L1 and L2 by day 8 or so I actually felt I could get through the circuit. Hopefully this happens for me on this Level. I want to be a Natalie follower and am almost there. :smile:

    It does get better but then again I don't do it everyday. I do two levels at a time though. You will start noticing you can do more and more each time...:drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Today is day 4/30 of Shred Level 2.

    This afternoon I went bathing suit shopping (80% off) because I am going away for the weekend and
    needed a new suit. :smile:

    Let me tell you Jillian was right...andI will be doing Shred until the cows come home!! :huh:

    I am not kidding!! :noway:

    If you ever feel yourself slipping into old habits of not Shredding...just pay a visit to the dressing room.

    Works wonders! :tongue:

    I won't be posting again til Sunday...so SHRED on sisters...SHRED on!!

    I have a problem. I only did 2 days and I don't think I can do the push ups anymore due to my left wrist that has been bothering me for over 3 years now. The Drs said it was tendonitis at first, but I don't think that's my problem. I've had surgery, therapy, had 2 steroid injections and still my left wrist cannot bend back and have pressure pushing on it (like when doing push ups) without pain. I ignored the pain because I really want to do this challenge and I'm sick of limiting my workouts because of this. But I'm paying for it now...my wrist hurts just bending it, without even putting any pressure on it......Has anyone ever had this problem before? Pain on the top of the wrist only when bending back. Does anyone have any alternatives to doing push ups but still working those same muscles?

    Ohhh!!! Interesting you mention this... I have a problem with ganglion cysts on the back of my wrist - do be careful. I would just skip that part and maybe at another chest exercise (such as an incline or decline fly - do you have a bench? or a step?, or just substiute with some other move. Good luck!

    My wrists also hurt me during the plank exercises that she does in Level 2. What I have been doing instead of having my palm on the floor with my wrist fully extended - I lay my hand weights and grasp those instead so that my wrist is not extended - it is in neutral position. That helps me out - but I have not had surgery, therapy, injections, etc. Just an idea to maybe try ....... please don't do anything to injure yourself further though!!!!
