I'm done too - I've done the shred before so am starting at level 2. Set my alarm early and got my workout done before the day began properly! I need to eat clean while I'm shredding or it won't be worth it! Thanks for encouraging us all Mel! xxx

kcmg0730

Hi all,
I started yesterday, since I already know I may have to miss tomorrow...and I want to do the full 30 days!
This is my very first time, and doing it yesterday and today means I am hurting like crazy...I know exactly which muscles I've worked out, cos I can sure feel them!! I have a feeling I'm going to be on Level 1 for quite a while! :-)

I'm also planning to continue with C25K...I've been a bit hit and miss with it, but hopefully, the shred will help motivate me a bit more. My eating plan is pretty solid, so while I'm not doing this to achieve a massive weight loss, I'm hoping to lose 10 lbs before Christmas.

Looking forward to hearing how you're all doing...it's great to have support!

acarmickle1

I'm hoping to get my DVD this week! I'm going to do a bootcamp dvd tonight to make up for it!

Day One, level one, 5lb wts: completed!

Shellabella02

Well hello everyone!! I am new to MFP (just joined this morning)!!!
No time like the present to start the 30 Day Shred with everyone here!!
I must say my motivation is at an ALL TIME LOW! However I am tired of this weight "weighing" me down!!

I'll go ahead and give a little background on myself and along with the shred I will accept any pointers to help me in my weight loss goals!
I began gaining my weight back in college (6 years ago) and I have been packing them on ever since. Poor habits and stress are my main cause to blame! As well as a recent break up with my ex. I put on an additional 20 lbs tipping my scale at 201 lbs!! Yikes! I don't even like to type that and getting on the scale is miserable!!! My goal is to get back down to a normal and healthy weight of 140 lbs. My mom recently lost about 50 lbs and looks fabulous! I cannot wait to fit into cute clothes and feel better about myself!

With that said, please add me as your new friend on here and I really look forward to accomplishing this awesome goal with everyone here!!!

Thanks for reading!! :laugh: :happy:

PrincessGlitterTush

I killed it today. Was tough but I loved it and I feel fantastic. It's 14:00 here and normally I have a bit of a dip in energy levels by now but alas.. this is not happening. I feel fantastic. It's the best. Why doesn't everyone do this?

Gay11nell

HELLO EVERYONE, I'm on day 10-level 2, I found level one to be very boring. So as soon as the soreness went away I moved on to level-2. I WILL BE HERE FOR A WHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a little freak out, Gain gain weight when I first started, now I'm back to where I was. My legs feel sooooooooooooo heavy right now, Can't wait for this part to be over, But new pants I recently bought are already feeling loose. THANKS TO ALL THE FOOD DAIRY CHECKERS-I REALLY NEED THIS!!!

melgibson

nibbles40

hello shreaders, i started shreding this morning, and must say loved it, come on we can do this as a team, can't wait to start seeing results , i done my shreading as soon as the little darling went to school, then headed to the local gym for pump fx, to my surprise the instructer is on holiday so they decided to do a circuits class instead OUCH did that work the abs legs ect, but what a buzz i got once i had finished. i will post my goals later, :flowerforyou:

christymarie214

Hi fellow shredders! I started mine yesterday since for some reason I thought yesterday was the 17th- oops! I have already done mine early this morning and I think I will take pics and measurements later tonight. I will be doing my normal workout with the 30DS for maximum results! Please feel free to add me other shredders!

Day 1 done! I made it through it for the most part, as much as I could with my 3 year old "helping" me. I had to rest a bit here and there and the bicycle movement in the last ab workout was hard for me. I had a hard time holding my legs up to do it. The base of my spine hurt after the ab workouts too. It hurts when I lay flat on the floor so those exercises slow me down. The past couple of times I've attempted the shred I've always had a hard time doing those workouts because of the pain. It's funny that the parts that are supposed to hurt, that I'm supposed to be exercising, aren't what's hurting me and slowing me down. It's other parts of my body that are. That kind of sucks

I do have to say though, the first time I attempted the shred (a couple of months ago) it was when I decided to get off my fat butt and finally start exercising and it KILLED me. I couldn't even make it through a set of jumping jacks. I started C25K (I'm in week 4) and noticed that the shred was much easier this time around. I can get through the entire cardio circuit now without stopping.

Well done Tor!! I'm very impressed with this forward thinking!!
I haven't been quite as early to start but I will get there today I promise!!

I'm glad to be here to support you all, plus it means I can't duck out of it either!!

Well done for getting started already, I like this organisation!! Get it done early if you think you may miss one!!

Good plan!!

I have done the C25K and LOVED it, it is an amazing plan, I really hope you will stick to it, it will work for you if you allow it to :flowerforyou:

melgibson

I'm hoping to get my DVD this week! I'm going to do a bootcamp dvd tonight to make up for it!

Well done for doing something else while your waiting for your dvd to turn up...

I had a thought, you may be able to find the shred level 1 on youtube?
I'm sure I have seen it there, it may be in several pieces but still might be do able while you wait for your copy to arrive!!

Day One, level one, 5lb wts: completed!
