    Yay! Excited to start today!

    To intro a bit, I started the Shred about 15 days ago, so I'm on level 2, but I want to to work with the group, and I think I have things to gain by starting over, anyway, since I've been struggling more with level 2. So I'm re-starting today with everyone.

    Perfect day for it for me, my baby is not feeling well, so I have to skip the gym today. Normally I'd go to yoga, and Monday's teacher is very strength-oriented, so I'll have to kick level 1's butt to make up for missing!

    I totally recommend everyone take pictures! I didn't take any before I started the Shred, and I regret it. I can REALLY see results. I did take some photos about 10 days in, if I show progress at the end, I'll post them all.

    My stats to start:
    height: 5'8"
    weight: 155.7
    waist: 30.5
    hips: 39
    thigh: 22
    arm:12.5

    I also really recommend noting inches, weight means less with this! In those 10 days I'd measured, I lost an inch and a half in my waist, 2 inches in my hips, and I look a LOT tighter, but I've only lost a few lbs; so try not to focus unduly on the number on the scale. I've gotten huge compliments from people who didn't know I was doing it, so something is going on regardless of the scale!

    For the record, I'm also working on C25K (week 5).

    Ready to START! Mornings are already way to packed with getting ready for work and getting 2 kids out the door with all their required stuff. So although I contemplated trying the AM I simply know that my time SHREDDING would be lost when I just couldn't manage it. So I start tonight!

    I have to say that I am a little bit nervous about gaining lbs during the process. I totally get that muscle weighs more than fat and the scale is not the true result when you have a muscle building fitness program, but I have worked really hard to see the scale go down and I really hate to see it go up. I think I may have to ask my husband to hide it for the 30 day duration! I also need to take measurements.

    Day 1 here we GO!

    Day 1 (well, I started last Tuesday, but whatever :smile: ) Using, 3 and 5lb weights... I've done the shred before, but never all the way up to level 3, so I'm excited to finally get there. Jillian, Natalie cheats with lunges and definitely doesn't sink low with the punches either! Man, those lateral arm raises get me every time!

    Just completed day 1 and uuuugh i was shaky after..
    I really had to push myself through it thinking hey if 150+ ppl are doing it, i have to too.. can't let them down! haha
    The jumping jacks are a killer and i had to do the push-ups the "girly" way, better than not doing them.. i have no upper body strength and i'm hoping by day 30 that will change :)
    so..
    1 month ago with just using the diary and no exercise i started at 145lbs, after exercising a little here and there i lost 6lbs and i'm at 139 right now.
    My finishing goal is to be in the 115's-120 by christmas! I'm hoping now that i have the 30DS i will be SHREDDING those pounds away and hoping that i can turn my legs into muscle :)

    Good luck with the first work-out today everyone.. it's hard and i'm sure i'll be sore but that's okay in the end we will be very happy!

    I completed day 4 of level 1 last night. Feeling great about it! I will probably add 4 days to level 3, to end when every one else does. I am really going to focus on my eating for the next 30 days and hopefully maximize these results! Good Luck everyone!!!

    Day One Level One Complete. 3lb weights. Only did 18 minutes of the video, I woke up late and ran out of time. Did my workout before getting ready for work. Will do 20 min on my treadmill to make up for whatever I missed on the video. Feel great!! 29 days to go!! How do I log it into my exercise journal?
