dh isn't so happy about the last one. I'm over the moon that's 9.75 inches altogether in one week!!
I realize I won't have these kind of results every week but this system really really works!0 -
Speaking of pushing through the exercise...
I just laugh because EVERY time I'm about to stop, and I'm thinking I absolutely cannot do a single second more... Jillian will say "OK, just 2 more!" And I do it!
Keep pushing!
(Those measurements Misty posted are very encouraging! Thanks. You go girl!)

day 7 done
I find her timing really good. I find the same thing, every time i think I'm done she says something like I know it's hard, but that's how you get results etc and i can keep going. to be honest when I first watched the video I found her really annoying and then when I was doing it her rambling was really helpful

Misty - WOW! That's awesome.
Okay, WHAT is with the scale? I peaked today (and I was dressed, and it was after breakfast) but still, it was UP 3 lbs!!?!?!?!? Could it be???? My muscles are quite sore, so I am sure they are full of fluid and glycogen, so I am not going to freak out.....
Weigh in is tomorrow....
No Shred for me today - just cardio - next to rest these muscles, and then Shred it up again tomorrow!
Have a great day everyone!

I was up this morning too, from 151 1/2 to 153 and a bit I'm guessing it's normal?0
-
Betty & Misty I'm up on the scale too. I weighed myself this morning even though Wednesday is my weigh-in day.
I seen a few posts on You Tube from women and some of them were talking about the scale going up but inches coming off. These were 'random posts' in the sense that they were from one day during the shred & not from when the shred was over, saying what happened during the day.
I'm glad I took my measurements on day 1 of the shred.
Impressive measurements Misty, by the way.

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been AWOL the last few days, life has been a little crazy. I was having a lot of soreness in my low back from my sacrum being out of place and my left knee got tweaked and swollen from my uneven stance, but it seems like my body is finally getting back to normal so I'm ready to jump back in!
I got a GoWear Fit on Friday so I'm really excited to see how many calories I burn during the Shred. I've been absolutely floored to see how much I burn just while going about my daily life. Yesterday I walked to and from work and then did a little grocery shopping in the afternoon and burned 3000 calories for the day! I can't even imagine what's going to happen tomorrow when I'm traipsing through campus all day carrying a 20lbs backpack!0 -
on day 3 now... still really hurting but hoping it will improve pronto.
at the beach so my eating has not been fabulous, but im hoping shredding every day is helping!
i have 5 lb weights, and i find that i can only do the first set of a couple of the exercises with teh weights, and then i just do the second set without weights (and my arms still burn!)... any advice on that???
I think what you are doing is perfect!!! I am also using 5lbs, and in the beginning, my shoulders could barely take it, but now I am finding that I can move up from the 5 pounders!
Hang in there! You're doing great!
:flowerforyou:
thanks!!!! i did day 4 today... i am hoping to be able to push through with weights the whole time by day 6... we'll see how that goes. i am at the beach still and food is bad. i am really really trying but family eats pretty poorly... i am cooking them dinner some and such but its still hard. i am excited to get home and eat well AND shred... hoping for great results!0 -

Thanks for sharing this, but I can't stay 165 pounds!!?!?!? This is ridiculous! Tomorrow is my official weigh in, so I HOPE to see some good numbers, but bigger numbers! Yikes. That would make me quit and stuff my face.
But no. Calm down Betty. Push through. Hang on. Keep going. It's just fluid in the overworked muscles, which are becoming metabolic furnaces burning and burning calories......
Okay, I'm calm again....

Good luck to us all for weigh in.... 0 -
I just came inside from running and I have to do the 30 day shred...I seriously don't feel like doing it....this is the 2nd night I'm trying to talk myself out of it.
I measured myself and I'm still the same. what is that?!?! I'm on level 2 day 16. I've done it every single day and didn't take breaks on any of the days during the video. I literally push thru with Jillian. I'm eating the amount of cals MFP tells me to...but I'm not losing any inches. I think I lost 2 lbs so far....that's it?
I guess I was expecting more. It's kind of disappointing. Especially after hearing other ppls success with the shred (and most of them didn't even do the whole way through).... I'm half way there and only 2lbs?
I know I should be happy with the 2 lbs, but I could've lost that without the shred.....:ohwell: At least I feel stronger..I guess that's all I'm really getting out of this.0 -
Monday, June 22nd CHECK IN!
Weight: no change (up 3 lbs, but TOM arrived this morning)
bust 40/40 (-0)
rib cage 32/32 (-0)
waist 31/29.5 (-1.5)
hips 43.5/40.5 (-3)
butt 42.5/41.5 (-1)
l arm 13.75/13 (-0.75)
l thigh 26/25.5 (-0.5)
l knee 15.25/15.25 (-0)
l calf 16.5/16 (-0.5)
So my weight was up 3 lbs (but I also got my . this morning).
I lost 1.5 " off my waist, and 3" off my hips! :noway: I knew I had lost, but that is great! It negates all the worry about the number on the scale!
Have a great week Shredding ladies, and I can't wait to celebrate your results when you post them!
:flowerforyou:0 -
you may not be seeing results because you did not have any rest days. i find that if I work out every single day, I do not see any results. Especially on the scale. I usually work out 5 days a week and have 2 rest days in between. Give that a try and see what happens. But don't give up! You will see results!:flowerforyou:I just came inside from running and I have to do the 30 day shred...I seriously don't feel like doing it....this is the 2nd night I'm trying to talk myself out of it.

That is very interesting...
Oh, & Day 7 done0 -
I did the shred anyways last night.
yea i'll take a break tonight from it tonight, we'll see what happens.0 -
Hi guys!
I've decided to only do measurements once a month, but my weight this week is 182. That's only down 0.4 from last week, but I started my period today too and I usually gain water right before (up to 5 or 6 lbs isn't unheard of), so I'm happy with my tiny loss!
I did the Shred yesterday and my new GoWear Fit said I burned about 240 calories--not bad for 20 minutes! I was excited to do it again today but am feeling crampy and sleepy so I'll pick it back up tomorrow. I have done over an hour of walking in 101 degrees while lugging a 17lb backpack today, so I'm not being a total slacker. I'm also going to go for another walk with a friend in a little bit.
I hope everyone is doing well and good luck with weigh-ins!0 -

Wow everyone! Great results, I am so jumping back on the band wagon as soon as the doc okay's it! Hopefully I can start again on July 8th! I am going to new york to see family on the 24th and really want to lose this momma pooch. Great work everyone! :happy:0

Hey Everyone!
Great work all around. How are we doing? I still can't believe the changes in my body already! Do you all find that the ab workouts aren't quite enough? She kills my shoulders, but I have still been doing a variety of crunches, planks (side and regular) on my own.... which leads me to starting an ab group... anyone into that?
MsKelly - our cycles are killing us - but we should have good weigh in's next week!
JenniferGotti - ENJOY New York!!!

day 8 done.
I took yesterday off, te weather has been awful here and we were all in a cranky mood so I didn't exercise and I over ate :blushing: today's a new day!
so how is everyone doing? I'm doing most of the exercises now without any modification, the only exception is push ups I'm too wimpy for those LOL0 -

Hahaha! Me too! I am up to 10 "girl" style push ups, for each set. That is an improvement though! I could only do a few the first few days....
:flowerforyou:0 -
I'm up to about 13 maybe I should try the real ones, but after the last few girl ones are really shakey LOL so i'm skeeered!0

Hahaha - I say wait until you are up to the full amount in the girls - is it 20 or 25? I migh then move to the miliarty style for as many as you can do, and then go onto the rest back in girl position.
That is great progress though!

Betty I know what you mean about your shoulders, those lateral lunges while lifting the weights straight up are killing me since I uped the weights I'm lifting. :grumble:
misty & betty well done on the pushups. I started doing wall pushups in January as that was all I could manage so I'm very proud of my girlie pushups. :laugh:
JenniferGotti I'm so happy for you that you are going to New York. Have a great time ! 0 -
DAY 9 DONE!!

Good work WantToBeMore!!!! This is going really well. Level 1 is almost feeling too easy now - I can't believe how quickly the adaptation occurs!
Have a great day ladies!

day 7 done
i am very nervous to be able to do level 2 by day 11... i am still not able to use the weights the whole time during the second set of squats and presses (circuit 1), but my pushups have improved (still doing girly style as well, but can do many more - maybe 10 or 15? - than when i started and can really tell a difference!)... great work betty and wanttobemore on the pushups!
how heavy are everyones weights?? and do you have strategies for moving up?
i haven't weighed in in a while cause ive been at the beach so im interested to see what it says next week....0 -
Day 10 done :happy:
Level 1 done :bigsmile:

I'm using 2lb water bottles for my weights.
This is just my 2 cents worth as well...Everyone is at a different fitness level. I started doing work out videos in January & was using cans of soup for my weights. I wouldn't have been able to do the 30 day shred in January & get through it as I was not in good enough shape. I haven't previewed level 2 so I don't know how much of a step up from level 1 it's going to be. You could see how you feel after day 10 & have a look at level 2 & see if you can handle it. I don't think there's anything wrong with staying a few days extra on a level. To be honest I can't use the weights the whole time for the second set of the lateral lunges & arm raises since I upped my weights on day 4 or 5. I could do them when I had the lighter weights but they were too light in my opinion. My shoulders are obviously weaker than my biceps & chest as the same weight isn't as 'heavy' to me for those exercise. I think no matter what you do you are going in the right direction. I think when we're wondering about moving up a level we have to think about what Jillian has been emphasizing since day 1 - correct form. Can we do the exercises, even the modified versin, with the correct form.
Like I said said that's just my 2 cents worth.... 0
