    Does anyone know when the results really kick in??? Level 3? I definitely see a difference but would love to really see more scultping in my stomach....maybe on level 3????

    I lost a couple of inches in my stomach by the end of level 1! Not a whole lot of difference on the scale yet though.

    I've really been effing up the last week! I didn't do the shred for the last two days, and I hadn't missed any days before that. For some reason I can't get control of my mind, it's like now that I'm down to the finish line for the competition I'm self sabotaging! Maybe that's my brains way of saying "you know you're going to fail, what makes you think you could actually win this?" just because that's what I'm use to. I have a 1.6% weight loss percentage advantage over the woman in second place, but I'm still nervous. So, no more pity parties! I got three days to rock this out and prove to MYSELF that I am CAPABLE and WORTHY of first place in this competition!!! So, day 17 of the Shred done this morning, LETS GO GIRLS!!!!!!

    Remember were all in the same boat as you and im pretty sure most of us get to a point where you just let your mind control your body, but you gotta fight through it! remember no pain no gain! THESE ABS DONT COME FOR FREE!! Your almost there and you CAN do it and you WILL do it! Show that damn DVD whos the boss!! (thats you btw!) You'll thank youself for pushing through when you are at your goal weight and you love what you see in the mirror!

    Exactly. I've thought this, too, and I know other people have as well. Sometimes it seems like just when I start to feel like I'm doing really well, that's when I start to blow it - and then I undo all the good I have done. It's a mind game. This is when we have to push through the most! You've got this... keep it going! YOU ARE CAPABLE OF FIRST PLACE!!

    I also missed the last two days (um, too much holiday if you know what I mean) but got back at it today!
    Day 13 is done.

    Have a great day, Shredders!!

    Thank you guys so much, it helps to know that other people struggle with this. I think I'm going to get some new books and talk to a counselor, I display all the symptoms of obsessive compulsive binge eating disorder, and my binges are starting to become more frequent, time to nip this in the bud! Thanks to you all again, it makes me feel so much better!!

    Starting this next week when weights come. Sounds horrifying but sooo worth it. Ive lost weight but no inches so def looking forward it. I tried to psych myself up by just watching it a few times but even my eyes felt like they were working out.

    for the life of me i cannot do the push ups! i do 1 or 2 and flop to the floor.. my upper body strength is so poor!

    Don't feel bad i can't get the push-ups neither even doing the modified version but i got the other moves down .. i worry will that cause the results to be off. i'm trying as hard as possible to do them!!!!

    I skipped yesterday, way too hot in my house! Still warm this morning but I got up early and tackled day 1 of Level 2. I was so out of breath I couldn't believe it!!
    I sure wish that scale would start moving in the right direction!

    I saw 30 day shred results yesterday on the success stories forum and this girl only lost 5 lbs the entire 30 days but seriously looked like she had dropped 30, no joke! I was floored, amazing! Don't get discouraged!! I lost my way for a few days this last week but I'm now feeling much stronger, I am woman, hear me roar!!!!!! RAWRRRRRRR! :laugh:

    I'm not going to lie, the scale is killing me! I lost three pounds the first week, but I had actually put those three pounds on the week before when I quit smoking; so they don't seem like "real" pounds as much as they do fluctuation. And I've lost ZERO since. I have lost a few inches so far, which I know is important, but man oh man, I'd like to just have a little cooperation from the scale. I too keep looking at people's before and after photos hoping to have similar success :) Day 15 done over here!

    Day 14 done today. For what it's worth, I still have the 3 pounds I gained since I started and the tape measure doesn't show any change either. But I'm going to trust the program and stay with it.

    I have to remember that above all, my goal was to get healthier - and if I am weight-training each morning, then surely I am getting fitter /stronger. Even if it isn't measurable yet. Gosh, I'm sweating so I must be doing something right. I think my age might be a factor... older bodies change more slowly (not sure of that but it sounds possible?). But women my age are supposed to weight-train anyway because it's good for our bones. So, I'm sticking with it and not being discouraged! Every day is a step toward a fitter me, right?

    Day 15 is terrific - you are halfway there! Inches lost is a good indication you're on the right track. Don't lose hope - I'm sure the pounds will soon follow. You are doing great!

    The older we get the slower our metabolism naturally becomes, it is also easier to lose muscle and gain fat. This is why strength training and adequate protein intake are very important as we age. How much protein do you take in on a daily basis? Aim for at least 100 grams, it's best to take in 1 gram per pound of body weight but 100 is a good one to strive for. I hope this is helpful!
