CLOSED GROUP-Get Ahead With The Shred!

I cannot do those pendulum lunges. I'm just awful at moving lunges. Static lunges I am awesome at though. I mean, I can do them really well. It's so weird.
So, tomorrow will be day 5 of Level 2 for me. I really dislike level 2, all that planking, and with TWO different plank exercises in the last circuit... crazy. I actually told Jillian to F off yesterday night. This morning I was very polite to her though so I think we're friends again
Does anyone else talk to her when she says stuff or have I just lost my mind? 0 -
I was 117.8 this morning (guilty of weighing twice in a row!) which is quite a loss o.o gonna see tomorrow if it was real...
I hate weight fluctuations! Fingers crossed that it was a real loss. x0 -

Yeah I don't have the coordination to do the pendulum lunges, so I just lunge forward alternating legs. I have never talked out loud when I'm by myself before, but if I'm really winded I'll swear at her. Hahaha. I actually downloaded season 1 of biggest loser because I love trashy reality TV, and they get to party with Jillian for 5 hours a day... can you imagine!0 -
I LOVE the Biggest Loser. Seriously. I'm totally obsessed. I do not know how they do it. What troopers!0

I gave blood today! So no shred for me tonight. Apparently I'm not allowed to do exercise... which is fine by me. I've been dizzy. xD
And I've ate a ton. I feel terrible, but I'm gonna go to the gym tomorrow.

Ugh I blew it today.
My boy decided to take me to TGIF since I'd never been...
I ate way more than I should have, but it was so delicious!
Ugh. But while we were there, I got the most motivation yet.
I commented on the fact I thought a server was pretty and well, I did the one thing you're not supposed to do. I asked if she was prettier than me (which she was. I'm not gonna lie.) And he told the truth. The two reasons hurt me though. One was cause her hair was how I usually wear mine (which shows he never notices) and the second was cause she was skinny. I was just like... Seriously?! :sad:
Apparently my hard work is going unnoticed. Which means I'm gonna work harder. Though, the shred is up for debate at this point. My cheesecake isn't settling...0 -
Okay... you can't do this for your boyfriend. You can't do it for validation from others. You have to do it for you. Your post is so sad, I feel really bad for you. I hate to sound like someone off the Biggest Loser, but I think you need to really evaluate why you want to weigh less. You need to focus on yourself in this, because this is no one else's business.0
-
It is for me. I have plenty of other reasons, most of them health related. And I don't think my post is sad. I've lost so much motivation for doing this that it was getting ridiculous, and that helped me. We are supposed to be able to talk about stuff like that here and encourage each other. I really don't see anything wrong with what I posted. It was simply stating how I got remotivated, even if it was in a different way than others.0
-
Wooooah, I was just saying I feel for you. Getting told that a waitress is prettier than you because she's thin, whilst you are trying to live healthier is not a fun thing to have happen to you. I'm sorry if I've upset you, it wasn't my intention. I was just trying to empathise.0
-
Oh. Well then I apologize. It was four in the morning and I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you meant like 'I pity you'. I'm naturally defensive, so again, I do apologize. I feel bad now...0
-
Noooo no! It's all good! We're fine!
So, I sneaked a weigh in today AND I did Level 3 because I'm really hating all the planks in L2. Well, there are planks in L3, but I did the beginner moves and it was okay. Phew.
p.s. as you can see by my ticker, this morning's weigh in said I've lost 2 pounds. WOO!0 -
That's awesome! I skipped ahead to Level 2 last night. It totally wore me out, but it felt good. If I can find a roommate or someone, I'm gonna head to the gym I think. Kinda feel like walking the track.
I cannot wait till I remember to get my hula hoop from home. I'm just gonna go do that forever.
Right now, I just wanna get my meal off from last night... ugh. Eating out is the devil!0 -
Hey ladies! So I know it's Thursday and I was supposed to weigh in Monday but it's been the week from Hell at school, plus rehearsals for our Fall play started so I'm busy busy. I'm keeping up with the shred and my current weight is................. 190!!
I feel amazing, and I'm happy to read you're all hanging in there!0 -
@Keia, I'm sorry to hear about what your boyfriend said, I feel for you. Sometimes I feel like my husband's eyes sometimes linger WAY too long on other women who are significantly thinner than I am. It sucks, but it can be a strong motivator to kick your own butt into a higher gear and keep pushing harder.
@Dawn, yay!! Congrats on the 190, that's awesome I can't wait til I hit that point again.
@Rosalind, nicely done! 2 lbs. is great, way to go Also, good job getting through level 3, I'm worried about making it through level 2, lol
I started level 2 last night, and felt like I was gonna die. I couldn't make it past the 2nd circuit--my chest was burning, I was breathing super hard, and my legs were starting to give out. I feel a little ashamed that I couldn't finish the whole workout, but I'll try again when I get home from work tonight and hopefully I can at least make it through to the end. I think another reason I was having problems is that I ate way too close to when I worked out. I didn't over-eat, but I did feel super sick by the time I stopped.
I hope the rest of you are still successful in your Shredding! 0 -
I found a gym that's $10 p/w and I'm joining with my friend on Monday! I will try to keep up the shred but I did start it because I didn't have access to a gym, where I'd do cardio and lift weights (to a similar effect as the shred). But I want to stay dedicated and keep with it! So we'll see.
I skipped yesterday, which is 2 days missed out of... 15 so far? 16? Not bad =P I'm going to do today hard though, as soon as my oatmeal settles a bit!0 -
So... my boyfriend just broke up with me.0
-
ANYWAY. I've got 12 more days to go and I think I'm going to skip to Level 3.0
-
Rosalind, I'm sorry about your boyfriend. I hope you're doing ok.
I just thought I'd post one more time and respectfully bow out of this challenge. I am so busy during the week that even a 20 minute workout isn't fitting in anywhere. I'm still eating well, but I have to make this a lifestyle change and I can't with having to do a workout almost everyday. I'm going to have to fit in the exercise as I can get it in.
I'm truly sorry, I hope that the rest of you kick *kitten* on this challenge. Good luck!0 -
So I left my copy of the shred in my hometown. I'll be going home Wednesday, though.
According to my scale, I gained... a lot.
But I ate late last night, so I'm gonna weigh in again tomorrow to make sure.
I'm sorry Rosalind. If you need someone to talk to, shoot me a message.
It is so cold here. I was gonna start walking around campus in the afternoon, but I dunno anymore.0 -
I'm sorry Rosalind... that's rough :-(
I joined a gym yesterday and jogged for 2km straight, personal record! I think I will do the shred on each day that I do not go to the gym just so I don't drive myself crazy.0 -
I forgot to weigh yesterday. I did this morning and ughh. Up. I guess tailgating is not appraise for dieting. Football season sucks! I have 3 kids all in the sport and we will have a short break then it goes to wrestling. I wish I had the will lower to eat healthy. I just want what I want. I know that health and fitness is 80% nutrition and I am sure that is what keeps me held back. Level 2 is very hard I have little upper body strength and any types of plank/push up crap kills me.
I guess I really need to quit whining and just do it. Sorry for the crabby post....0 -
I am 117.6! I keep bouncing between 117 and 120 depending on how hard I work out, so I'm thinking it's water weight as my diet has been steady. I am definitely making NSV's every other day at the gym, running faster and longer, etc! I haven't done the shred in a couple days as I'm pooped after the gym :{ I should do it more. How many days do we have left?0
-
I've missed a couple of days on the whole, so I'm finishing on Saturday (5 days).
Is anyone else still doing this?
I've dropped two pounds since last week, and since I last measured my upper arms, before starting the shred, I've lost 1.5 inches which I'm really excited about, because my arms are a problem area for me.
I'm going to get another Jillian DVD because, weirdly, I've sort of really enjoyed doing 30DS.0 -
That is awesome Rosalind! Check out Ripped in 30, it is awesome. A few of the same workouts but they bring it to the next level. I definitely noticed a strength improvement. Lets stay friends! You are such a hard worker and inspirational!
Way to go everybody!0 -
Sure! I'd like that.
Yes, Ripped in 30 is my next purchase.
TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY! To celebrate I'm doing L3 then L1. I must be mad.0 -
Well, I did it! Finished with Level 1 then Level 2.
10lbs lost and two inches off my Hips, thighs, waist, arms and breast measurements. Thanks Jillian!
Not sure how many other people are still doing this, but I just want to say a big congratulations to those of you who are. Thank you so much for all your support over this last month. It's been a pleasure x0
