Good Morning!!! First day back doing the Shred after 7 days of rest. I was getting really lazy. LOL. Glad that I am back to working out. I did 13 minutes on my treadmill as a warm up to get the blood flowing before the shred and I see my heart rate monitor showed that my heart rate didn't drop below 125 during the abs! Wonderful results!!! I burned 329 cals. doing the shred. That's the most ever doing it. :) I also realize that my knee is shot as it was hurting the whole time doing anything that bends my knees. I am going to have to get a knee brace. Good luck Stefanie on restarting your shred! :)

    Good Morning Everyone!!

    I see that Craig got his in early today :) Nice Job and I see that even though you took off 7 days you have hit 60lb loss!! Amazing work and dedication!!

    I just did Cycle 2 Day 1 and I chose to do Level 2 and raised my weights to 5lbs.. I had been using 3's in the first go round to avoid injury.

    I'm going to feel this in the morning. I chose Level 2 because I missed out on all the ab work on that level from my ab pull, so I want to get that ab work in.

    Family has another round of colds.. Yippee :( LOL Back on the Zicam & Vitamin C and more cayenne pepper to kick this cold out of the way just as quick... Seemed to work last time

    I HAVE to share these numbers. I could Cry!!! I love losing inches... OMG YES I DO :)

    Here is are my inches lost in the first go-round of the 30 Day Shred.

    SW: 143 / End W 136.7 loss of 7
    Chest: 31.5 / 30= loss of 1.5"
    Bust: 37.25 / 36= loss of 1.25"
    L & R Bicep: 11.75 each / 11 each= loss of .75" each
    L & R Thigh: 24.5 each / 23.25 Each = loss of 1.25" each
    L & R Calf: 14.25 each / 14.75 each = Gain of .5 each (muscle ;)
    Belly Button: 37.5 / 34.75= loss of 2.75" ;)
    Waist: 38.5 / 35= loss of 3.5" OMG!!
    Hips: 39 / 37.75= loss of 1.25"

    About 11" GONE!! On a girl that is 5'2" (okay 5"1.5") that is so noticeable :)

    Regardless of what the scale says, I'm thinner and feeling sooo good. I love my inches lost and can total see it, my mother in law mentioned that I looked like I was getting skinny... Told her I'd been working out for a month straight... That wasy my NSV!

    No before pic because I didnt really think I'd acutally do it all the way through LOL Showed myself didn't I?? LOL
