30 Day Shred..

Options
Hey I'm new here and I'm doing the 30 Day Shred! I just did day 2 tonight. Day one yesterday was absolutely terrible. I did maybe 10-15 minutes of it and ended up really sick. I was actually able to finish it tonight! I'm so sore but feel GREAT!

Anyone else doing the 30 Day Shred? I need BUDDIES! I absolutely NEED to stay motivated. I'm a new mommy and I want to get healthy for my baby girl. She'll be 5 months in 10 days. I've had a life long struggle with my weight but now I have a reason to do something. I just need people to help keep me on track. I'm trying to eat healthier too but my big problem is giving up soda. I'm addicted to Mountain Dew. I've cut back a lot... I'm slowly weaning myself off.

Please feel free to add me!

I'm Nikki by the way:smile:

    Welcome to MFP Nikki! I sympathize with the Mountain Dew addiction, as I am a recovering MD addict myself. I miss my sunshine in a bottle.

    I'm thinking of doing the 30 day shred, but combined with the Couchto5K, so I'd be doing the shred on the off days from the C25K days (which I am currently doing MWF. I'll be your buddy!

    As a new mom of an 8 month old you are doing amazing!

    Being a mom of an infant is exhausting! I used to be addicted to Diet Coke. I could drink half a case if not a case in a day! I haven't had soda in almost 3 years!

    If I can do it you can do it! I drink a lot of water and unsweetened tea or hot tea. If I am craving something carbonated I drink a Kombucha. I hate carbonated water so that will never work. I own the 30 day Shred and I am willing to dust it off and try it with you! =-)

    It is!! I had to switch to Diet MD to cope. Let me tell you, diet Mountain Dew is a horrible substitute for the real thing.

    Thank you! She keeps me up all night... like usually until 3... sometimes much later. lol I would love some more people to join me on my journey. I'm trying to up my water intake. You know how when some people get upset and need some way to relieve that stress, they drink alcohol. MD is definitely my alcohol. I'm very addicted. I've quit before but went right back to it at the first sign of stress.

    Ah, I've tried diet MD... I couldn't do it. That takes some will power. That stuff is disgusting. The only diet soda I can stand is Diet Dr. Pepper.

    What is it? Do you have a link? Is it an excercise only program or diet and exercise? I would love to be part of a group and am new here. Let me know how I can learn more about THE SHRED and I will be a buddy :D

    There's a 30 Day Shred group going right now. Most of us are on Day 5 or 6, so we can help motivate your through it, as we've been there a couple of days ago!

    Haven't tried adding a link before, so not sure if this will automatically link, but if not, just copy and paste it to find the group.

    I need to get my copy out and start doing it again. I did it for several weeks last year and only tried level 2 a couple times. I walk almost every day but I need to get Jillian kicking my butt again! Feel free to add me and maybe we can encourage each other to keep going!!
