Keep it going ladies!! You are all doing SO WELL!!!
I took the day of today FINALLY! Today would have been my 16th day straight! I went out for my Week 2 Day 3 Training Run w/ C25K, and ran some errands, got back in put the SHRED on, and did the warm up, when it was time for those jumping jacks I did one and turned it off :noway: I just bought a new pair of running sneakers yesterday and I happened to have them on when I attempted the SHRED but my legs felt like LEAD! I figured today was the day my body said "NO MAS", NO MAS.. So I took the day off from Shredding.. Will Hit it tomorrow. I try Zumba tomorrow night as well, so I'm looking forward.
Happy Shredding Shredders!!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
mmrose your legs deserve a day off for SURE!
I could not Shred this morning. I went to a step class last night for the first time in probably 10 years and what a MESS! I couldn't follow the instructor at all and I just flailed around in the back of the room looking like a total loser! And I still managed to get a cramp in my calf and hamstring from it. I logged it as 200 cal for 50 minutes of exercise....what a waste of time..I just have to laugh it off.0 -
Hi All, Well today was Day 21 or Day 1 Level 3, What can I say??? It was hard but I did not do it 100% as I kept stopping to make sure I was doing it ok. So I shall see how it goes tomorrow!!! 9 Days to go......0
-
L2D9....only one more day then on to level 3! I need to watch it at some point to see what is coming. I am ready for the new level!
Keep on shredding! We are almost to the end!0 -

Great job! I just finished day 19..one more day on level 2 and on to 3~You are doing awesome!0 -
Thanks Karen, You are also doing great, I am finding it tough going in every level!!! Think I must be super unfit ....but i'm sticking with it and 20 minutes goes by pretty quickly0
-
D10 L1 COMPLETE...yay! I get to start level 2 manana.
I am so ready to move on to L2. I will post my measurements this afternoon.0 -
D16 L2 in the books! I was a bit sore from my C25K training, but I pushed through it and modified those walking push-ups with reg. girlie push-ups...
After the SHRED I took a 60 minute ZUMBA class and Ladies .. I HAVE NEVER experienced anything like this in my LIFE! It was a TRUE party.. there were anywhere from 150-200 people in the class..closer to 200! It was HIGH energy and TONS of FUN! I highly recommend it to anyone.. I probably burned like 800 calories..I was sweating BUCKETS!.
only 14 days left in the SHRED .. LET's GET IT!!!0 -
Just checking in... D16L2 complete! I can't wait to get to the next level so I don't have to hear Jillian pick on Natalie all the time! Only 4 more days of level 2 then LEVEL 3!!!!0

L2D3 (13) CHECK!
This morning was TOUGH! From the first set of jumping jacks my back was on fire. I did regular jumping jacks instead of plank jacks, and bicycle crunches instead of plank abs. And girly pushups instead of the walking ones! Still, kept up pretty good
I got a couple of sessions with a personal trainer while my temporary fancy gym access is still on, so last night I met with her did some bosu ball crunches (yeow) and some shoulder and chest work as well. And 60 min on the ArcTrainer...gawd I love that machine. It would almost be worth paying the membership just for that.
I've heard a lot of great things about Zumba, I can't wait to check it out someday!0 -
GOOD MORNING! I woke up this morning SO ready for Level 2 and boy it kicked my butt but when I was finished it felt GREAT!
Here are my measurements:
Day 1
Neck 14 3/4
Bust 44
Stomach 39
Waist 44
Butt 44
Day 10
Neck 14
Bust 44.5
Stomach 37
Waist 43
Butt 43
So, I lost 2 inches in my mid section which i'm excited about!! But the 1/2 in increase in my bust has me confused?? Maybe muscle???0 -
Hey Shredders
I wanted to let you know I decided to stop after Day 8 L1, yesterday I did someting to my back???
Its better today though after resting it.
Jillian is just to much for me. But I did get farther this round. By 2-3 w/o.
:flowerforyou: Good luck in finishing everyone :flowerforyou: I'll be following along.0 -

Im sure it could be any number of reasons: a different placement this time, you are "perkier" from working your muscles, TOM, hormonal changes, pregnant (hmmmm)...
Great job on the losses though!0 -

Callie,
I will be starting the Shred again soon. My neck is still pulling slightly but I think by next week, I will be good to go! Hopefully, you'll be better by then and we can start again!

Can't wait to see you guys hit the finish line! Its going to be so inspiring when you all post your starting results and ending results side by side! :bigsmile:

Today was much better for me, I did L3 D2 and it felt soooo good compared to yesterday - if I have got this far anyone can!!!!! 8 more days to go.....0 -

Keep shredding ladies!0 -
Hey all,
Yesterday I had mandatory training for my second job after working my first job & then had a bunch of homework to get caught up on and I was totally stressed. So I figured if I didn't workout last night it would make my knee feel better. So I did L2D5 tonight and my knee still hurts, but now it is also in the back of my knee, I'm thinking maybe a tendon? Not sure, but I really wish it would just stop hurting because it is definitely affecting how much effort I can put into my workouts and it's driving me nuts! I get a light sweat during the Shred, but I want the better sweatier workouts so I know I'm burning calories more. I'm thinking I may extend level 2 a bit longer or I might just finish level 2 & 3 and then start the shred all over again or the 30 day slimdown. But I don't think I'll perfect these levels if this knee issue doesnt go away!
You all are doing soooo great!
mmrose- I'm glad you finally took a break... although you really didn't take a day off from exercise you still got a lot of exercise in which is great, you are definitely an ispiration! ZUMBA sounds like a lot of fun I have heard so much about it, but I've never taken a class... I always think I won't have a clue what I'm doing or won't be able to handle it0 -
D17L2 dunzo!!!!! Jillian's got nothing on me! See you tomorrow ladies and gents!0

Jerzeebabie - you really want to be careful with your knees, I have had knee issues in the past and sometimes the simple things we do can aggravate it more.. Especially if you feel it now at the back of your knee..Have you been icing, elevating it, taking an ibuprofen?? Changed the sneakers? You certainly don't want to push through it especially if it is painful. I know you don't want to hear this but, perhaps you should take a few days off.. I mean I injured my knee in January when I began training for a 5k, and I SO didn't want to stop training, but my knees were on FIRE! They hurt all the time, and it was getting worse..one morning I woke up and I couldn't move them without physically lifting my leg.. Needless to say I had to take some time off about 3 weeks to be exact..:grumble: So maybe you should take some time to get it back to normal..and maybe in the meantime you do some low impact stuff.. or just walking..
I still haven't taken a real day off from exercise.. I did W3D1 of C25K training and 60 minute Zumba class day #2 I must be a glutton for punishment.. That class was A WORKOUT tonight.. but felt good.. I will be back on the Shred tomorrow.. I believe it's D17L2!
Keep up the GREAT work ladies!!0 -

Keep shredding ladies!
GET it Karen!
Can't wait to hear about level 3 and most importantly your L2 results!!!
GO girl! 10 days left!! You should be proud!0 -
Ok shredders...Level 2 results!
After level 1..........................................................after level 2....................total lost since day 1
weight 177........................................................176...........................................2 lbs
Right/left arm 11......................................................11.............................................. .5
chest 41............................................................40.5..................................................... 1.5"
waist 34............................................................33..........................................................3"
hips 41..............................................................40........................................................3"
right/left leg 20.5...............................................20......................................................1"
I am pretty happy with the results so far. I have decided to take a day off before I start level 3.....I have gone 20 days in a row and I am really proud of that, but my body needs a day of rest before I hit the next 10 days......I do plan on taking a walk this morning outside...the snow is starting to melt and the fresh air is greatly needed....
Day 1 on level 3 will start tomorrow! BTW I took a sneak peak....eeek!0 -

Keep shredding ladies!
Yeah! Go for it!! You are OWNING the Shred!
L2D4 (14) CHECK...finally it started getting a little more do-able for me. I made it through the twists and skaters cardio part without resting for the first time. I feel like when Jillian says, "if you need to take a rest go ahead" it actually triggers me to need a rest! HUSH YOUR MOUTH JILLIAN! I finally did two sets of girly pushups (instead of the walkout planks)..soo happy. I can really feel the improved strength in the backs of my shoulders now..THAT is results ladies
It's funny, yesterday the Shred got me down, but today it really lifted me up. This group, though, always lifts me up!0 -

You know it funny you say that when she says take a rest you feel the need to rest...I felt the exact same way! At about day 7 on level 2..when I knew it was coming I just made myself ignore it!0
