    Done my shred Monday and Tuesday but had to rest yesterday due to overdoing it on the treadmill Tuesday (I walked 3.5 miles and jogged .5 miles and my whole body was sore yesterday:grumble: )

    I'm going to get ready now and get back to business :drinker: . Hope all is well with everyone else.:flowerforyou:

    Just got finished with day 5 of the shred. I can honestly say it was a little bit easier today. I was able to do the "butt kicks" today without losing my balance. LOL So thats a plus. I'm half way through with the level one circuit, So I hope by the time I get to day ten this will be very easy. I'm about to put on my sauna suit and hit the elliptical.

    I feel like I have th exercise part down, I can't say I look forward to working out, but after I'm finished I'm glad I did it, you know? Now I need to work on my diet. I'm doing very well with it until night time. I am a muncher...so I like to snack at night, normally something sweet. I guess I need to find snacks that aren't so fattening. That and not giving into my hubby's and his night time trips to the Mcdonalds drive thru...LOL I have no will power when it comes to mcd's fries!!

    So, I am pathetically out of shape, lol. I can at least make it through but sometimes have to jog in place for part of the jump rope and butt kicks.


    My 15 year old is doing the challenge with me. She's such a show off, she's started adding hand weight moves in where there are none...brat, lol. My 2 and 4 year olds also try to do it with us and my 4 year old is furious that I didn't buy him his own weights, lol. They actually do pretty well with most of the moves. My 4 year old stands in front of us and pretends to get knocked out the whole time we are doing punches. He makes sounds and falls to the floor and then gets back up and does it again. It's SO hard to work out while you are laughing. I LOVE watching my two year old do the jumping jacks, she jumps around and waves her arms around like crazy and giggles the whole time.

    So far, I haven't lost any weight this week and I'm kind of bummed but we have two more days...

    Hey I got on the scales this moring and gained a pound and a half so don't feel bad...my husband says, oh you know muscle weighs more than fat...I hate hearing that even if it is true...LOL 2 more day...only I have a birthday party to through tomorrow with lots of food and cake...UGH!! this is going to be a real challenge to say the least!

    Day 3 Level 1 done! It definitely seemed a little less difficult esp the jumping jacks. Push ups are still a killer though.

    And I'm not quite as sore. :happy:

    So level 2 totally busted my butt and I took a break from shredding yesterday to walk for an hour instead because I was so sore. I feel like I overdid it. This morning I did level 1 advanced and I think I need to stay there for at least a couple more days for my arms and legs sake. I'm really proud of myself because I've managed to get some exercise in everyday this week. :happy:

    Btw I just found out I have tendinitis in my right thumb. :ohwell:

    I need to get back on the ball here! I opted to take my daughter for a walk on Wednesday and then I had work yesterday. I was planning on still shredding yesterday but my daughter was napping when I went to pick her up after work. We got home late and she was in a horrible mood the rest of the night! My TOM started a week early yesterday. Day one is always the worst for me - I usually end up laid up in bed. I'm going to try to get the motivation to do the Shred anyway while my daughter is napping. I at least want to get through the first two circuits and if I am still in massive pain, I'll quit. Generally if I can make it through the first two circuits, I'll finish, though!

    AWESOME job to everyone who has stuck to this!!! :drinker:

    And if you haven't started yet or if you're like me and you slacked off, let's get moving!!! cheerleader3.gif

    I got 30 day shred today and have done Level 1 already (kinda cancelled it out by having a take-out pizza after, I blame my boyfriend the junk food addict).

    So here are my measurements...

    Weight : 128lbs (varies between 126 and 128)
    Am at home so don't have a tape measure so will measure when I am at my boyfriend's tomorrow.

    Hope you don't mind me joining !

    So I have done The Dreaded Shred for the last four days. Unfortunately, I found out last night that my boyfriend's parents bought tickets to a concert and I have to head up there straight after work! So I'll be missing day five of the Shred. Usually when I break routine I tend to lose momentum, I'm hoping that won't happen this time. :ohwell:

    I missed this morning. Maybe after I hit some sales, I'll get it in... just sorta feel like giving myself a rest day, though, so we'll see.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

    My muscles are still in agony after doing it two days ago. Is it still ok to work out while my muscles ache ?
    I didn't do it yesterday because I was in so much pain so I walked for an hour and a half instead. I don't want to miss out on another day.

    Personally, I think you shouldn't work out if you are too sore. I did the shred the first time on Tuesday. Wednesday morning I was in so much pain, I wouldn't have been able to do it if I had tried. Until your body gets used to it, I think it's okay to skip a day. After that though, being the workout is only 20 minutes, if you want good results, you'll want to do it as often as possible. I plan to do it 5 times next week. Got 3 in this week---mostly due to ballgames, end of school activities, and AF---but the pain was a factor too.

    My weight hasn't changed (AF?) but my hip measurement went down one inch! Everything else stayed the same......

    Hello Shredders!

    If you haven't yet checked in with progress for this week, please do so. I will get stats posted tonight or tomorrow.

    I did not lose any pounds :grumble:

    I did lose a half an inch in my waist and an inch in my hips. I haven't had a chance to check my arms and thighs...kinda bummed for all the work I put into it but I think my stress level is having an impact on my metabolism, so I am working on that.

    Good luck everyone!

    new stats...

    was 210, now 207
    bust was 46, now 44
    waist was 39, now 38
    hips was 45, now 44
    arm stayed the same
    thigh was 24.5, now 24

    so that's a loss of 3 lbs. and 4.5 inches! wow!

    planned on taking another rest day, but will sneak in a shred if I feel like it after church.

    Hi Everyone! I am new. Just did day one of Shred and my calves are in pain. They can't take the body weight. The poor things. I wonder how to make the pain go away so I can do the dvd again tomorrow. It almost feels like it's the actual calf bone that hurts when you touch it.

    Hope you don't mind if I join you all. You are so motivating and I need that more than anything. I have also been following Jillian's dieting plan from her website. Tomorrow will be one week that I started that. I will be weighing in tomorrow. I also go to aerobics twice a week.

    Doesn't it feel like we are burning more than about 200 or so calories when we do the shred? I never sweated that much in my life. Not even after and hour on the treadmill.

    See you all tomorrow.

    Hello all!

    Well I missed three days of the Shred this week, no good excuse for that! I went from 197.7 to 197.1. I checked my measurements, everything stayed the same except that my thighs went from 27 to 26 inches. Thank you Jillian Michaels!

    How's everyone else doing?

    I only did two whole days of The Shred and walked with my daughter one day. I just need to get my act together and plan ahead. I don't remember what I weighed in with because I've been reporting my weight to three different groups (two MFP, one on a blog) on three different days. Today I was 192 and I'm doing my measurements every four weeks. I really don't need to be depressed by a half inch movement when I can be stoked about three inches in a month! Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone but it does in my head... :laugh:

    Happy Shredding this week!

    I did 4 days of the Shred last week...doing day 5 in just a few minutes. No weight loss yet :( grrr.....I don't get the fact that I can eat well all week and work out, and actually put on a few pounds. My body is so weird.
