NEW SHRED GROUP-WEEK 1

karmasBFF

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

So tomorrow is THE day! I have gotten the impression that there are several ways to do this workout-some do each level for 30 days, some do each level for 10 days...I think I am going to do each level for 30 days, especially since I just recently started working out. If I find that it is too easy after 10 days, then I may change. Everyone should do what they are comfortable doing. This is by no means a competetition and we definiteyl dont want anybody over-working themselves unecessarily.

Here's to working our butts off for the next 30 days, sharing stories, progress and motivation! Cheers!!

I just got the dvds myself and am starting on Monday. I do not always make it to the gym so I think this will help me. Looking forward to staying motivated! I will get measured by a friend in the am and post them tomorrow.

use this link but remove the spaces between the i m and g. they must be lowercase.

It took me FOREVER to figure this out!! LOL Good luck! :flowerforyou:

apatrick23

I have tried multiple times to get my pictures to show... any help would be appreciated! If anyone could copy the link used in their post with pictures and post it for me so I can copy and paste and change the picture that would be great! Thanks.

Regardless, I'm excited to get shredded!!!

Here is a blog I wrote that I believe will help you in those weak moments.

I say a similar "mantra" to myself in my low moments and it has definitely helped me push forward!

PICTURES!!! FINALLY!!!!

I wish my pictures looked like yours! I bet at the end of this 30 days you will be at your goal & be very toned!!!!!! >>JEALOUS lol

Jerzeebabie04

Okay I am doing my pictures, weight, and measurements in the morning right before doing the workout! I am so excited!!! I'm pretty sure I figured out how to post the pictures so we'll see!

I can't wait for these 30 days (or however long we each decide to do each level) to go by so we can look at all the before/after pics! YAYYYY

det3386

I just bought the DVD also and I am going to start tomorrow! I really want to get the results so I will need to stay motivated!

SageGoddess320

Good morning fellow shredders! Well, I'm on day 13 of Level One and still think I'm going to be here for a while. When I started I was pretty out of shape (and still am).........but today I'm wearing my size 5's to work! I hadn't been able to zip them for.....I don't even know how long. For those of you that are on day 1, you may feel REALLY sore tomorrow (I know I was the day after my first workout). When I tried to get out of bed my calves felt like they were just going to give out and my chest (well I guess it was more like the little bulge under my arm pit) was killing me. Just stick with it, and you will be VERY happy with your results. Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the shred

kels0724

Hello everyone!!! I am on day 5 today of the shred! I love it so far (even though I missed 2 days this weekend ) But with this group, I am hoping to make it to 30 nonstop!

Good luck today everyone and stick with it! You can do this!!!

leeslim4life

I'm a tad bit ahead of you ladies but, this is my girl Karma's group & I am all down for supporting her and this group!!!

Today is my Day 17 Level 2. I will be doing some upper body strength training as well. Have a Great day everyone!!!!

cmurphy04722

I woke up late today but still completed day 5 of level 1. Feeling pretty good about it :-) Yesterday my boyfriend patted my butt and commented that he thinks it's getting firmer hehe. Not sure if that's true, but it was nice to say!

bizaggie07

Good morning! I just completed my first day of the video and WOW, 20 minutes can definitely exhaust you!

I decided to go ahead and post my pictures instead of waiting... sorry, I'm so wishy/washy!

Good luck to those of you who are beginning this journey today, we're one day closer to our dream bodies!

Ashia1317

Ok! I wanna join! I started this work out awhile ago but never really kept with it. My plan is to do it 2 - 3 AMs a week. I'm starting on Level 1 for now for atleast the first two weeks and see how I do.

Good luck everyone!

jessifreehugs

K I'm way excited that there is a group starting today. I bought the Shred video this weekend with the intention of starting today. What a coincidence! lol So here is my weight and measurements:

Bust: 47.5
Waist: 49.5
Hips: 55

Good luck everyone!!

Jerzeebabie04

Okay gang here it goes! Get ready to see some nasty pics of me! lol Hopefully they will change a bit when these 30 days pass.... Not sure if I did the measurements completely accurately, I usually have someone else do them for me, usually an instructor at the gym or my weight loss Dr. But I did them myself today so hope they are accurate....
