    Good morning shredders!! I hope everyone is doing well, however I'm sorry to say I won't be finishing the month with you, I've decided to hold off on Shredders for now, I just got turbo jam and am going to try that out instead. Shredders was a tough workout, but I like the variety in turbo jam a little bit more. Good luck to you all!!

    Good morning everyone,
    Haven't gotten to day 2 yet - I tried the shred out on netflix and like an idiot sent it back before I bought another copy...I can't find it anywhere! I tried our Walmart, and Kmart, and that's pretty much all we have to get things like that.

    Where did everyone get theirs?

    I'm really down today...my new-ish job (new position) is really getting to me, we're really run thin here and there's way too much work getting piled on us all. I get really sad just walking in here! :cry:
    I'm exhausted by the time I get home and all I want to do is sleep.

    Any words of advice?

    Have a great day all!

    You can get it at amazon.com, but then you have to wait for it.:sad:

    I know work can really drain people but try to look at the positive....You have a job. Hopefully you have a job you enjoy..at least most of the time.

    I have done the shred 5 times now and it gets easier but I still don't know what I hate more Jillian or the stairs in my house. :laugh:

    Day 2 is done! I'm pretty pumped, because I actually did the advanced version of all the exercises, including the pushups!

    I'm not planning on taking a rest day. Of course, if my muscles need it, I will take a break.

    I was pretty psyched when I was able to do the push ups today as well!! I was only 1 away from how many the ladies do on the DVD....
    as for weight most of the time I use 3 IBS however it is not enough for the chest flys so I use 5 IBS......hopefully by the end of week 2 I can use the 5IBS the whole video!!!

    HA! yeah still can't do push ups

    I just do mine off youtube everyday. Here's the link I use: http://www.youtube.com/user/xbabiboopx
    I believe this gal also has another Jillian Michaels video posted, so if this turns out well, I might try that one next!

    Get up a half hour early and do it before work.

    Yeah, I'm with you on that one!

    I've given up on the scale moving. My inches seem to be melting away regardless which I definitely prefer.

    That's a great idea! I can get on there from our Wii in the living room :smile:

    I think I'm going to try that. My hubby gets up at 4 am and I just sleep in! Might as well make use of my time better :laugh:

    Thank you! :blushing:

    My scale hurts my soul :laugh:. Definitely take photos if yours doesn't like you; it doesn't always know when your body is changing.

    Day 3 done! I was pretty sore from the pushups yesterday, but I managed to do them again today. I love the pictures idea. I have some from just a few weeks ago, so I'm hoping to see the difference from them. Maybe (if we're brave enough) a bunch of us could post before and after pics after the 30 days?

    Unfortunately I had no time today! As soon as I left work I had to bring a friend to run errands and just got home. Even ate some Sonic so that only makes it worse. I feel like a huge cow right about now but I shall resume 30 Day Shred tomorrow.

    Good night all!

    Day three down, my biggest struggle is definately the push ups, I can't even do all of them in the modified version! I did most of the first segment this time, but was only able to do like 3 of the second! I'm going to be siked to be able to do all of them! I think that's the point I'll move onto level 2 haha

    Well I got in 2 days of shred so far. I did day 1 and day 2 no problem and Wednesday was my rest day. Unfortunately I got up late this morning and didn't have enough time to shred so I had to do something else:noway: :grumble: . But I will shred tomorrow for sure. I'm going out of town this weekend adn won't be back until Monday afternoon, so I don't think I'll be able to get the shred in:grumble: . I'll probably shred Monday evening though so I'll still be on track. :love:

    Question: How long are you level 1'ers doing level 1 before you move to level 2??

    I just joined MFP yesterday, but I saw this thread this morning and would like to join if its not too late! I havent taken my measurements, but I have my starting weight (started my new life plan on Tuesday- random day to start but i moved all weekend and was worthless on monday). I can try to find measuring tape tonight. I read all of the posts and I will try out the 30 Day Shred off of youtube as someone suggested. The past few nights I have been running 2-3 miles after work.

    Ok, just got done with Day 4 and no pausing, yay!

    I'm used to really intense workouts but they're normally a bit longer with some pauses between cardio sets. So cranking a full 2 minutes without stopping has been a real challenge but I'm loving it!

    QUESTION!! Isn't it important to rest muscles? I'm really sore today, should I be doing this every other day? I'm still learning the in and outs of exercise
