I couldn't face Jillian this morning. Don't know why, but just couldn't. Worked on my abs myself instead. Hopefully I can face Jillian tomorrow.0

19 days down, 11 more to go! I am so so glad my husband is doing this with me. I'm not sure I would have made it this far without skipping any days if he wasn't!
He's the best. 11 days sure seems like a long ways away though. :ohwell: Tomorrow will be good. I have been weighing and measuring every 10 days, so it should be nice to post some progress reports tomorrow! 0 -

Yey! Today is the day I start Level 3 properly! Going to do my shred when I get in from work at lunch time! Didn't do my shred yesterday as I didn't have time with going to the gym and pole dancing but I did do 2 shreds on Monday so in my head that makes up for it!
Keep it up ladies! We are nearly there!!

Well I went a bit mad this aft and after completing my Level 3 Shred I just wanted more! So I did Level 2 aswell!
So far so good - a nice muscle ache that tells me I've had a good workout but I wonder how that will feel in the morning! Haha! Good job I don't have to workout until lunch time, can have a little rest before I tackle the Shred again!

p1nkpr1ncess, you are crazy! I am sore today, I think that is a good sign.0
-
Finished day 20! Tried level 3, and OMG!!! Jumping...:noway: But, I did it! 10 days left!0
-
I am glad someone is on Level 3 with me! I am on day 25, but only day 4 of level 3. It is tough. I can't believe I am almost done with the 30-day shred!0

p1nkpr1ncess, you are crazy! I am sore today, I think that is a good sign.
Yes I think I just might be!! Haha! I am trying to fit as much in as possible before Monday when I have to go for a minor hospital treatment (well they tell me its minor but I may not be able to exercise for a while afterwards and it is scaring me half to death!). I have done so well keeping up with the shred and feel like a let-down not to be able to finish it in one go
Booo to hospitals!!
Anyways! I intend to do my 2nd day of Level 3 today - those jumps are a nightmare!! The jumping squats confuse me as sometimes my legs don't switch at the same time! Lol. But battle on I will!! (Plus I just ate half a piece of cake and a mini donut so I'm feeling guilty! Might even guilt myself into some Level 2!)
Keep it up ladies! We are doing so well - I can't believe it's nearly the end (I think I might just carry on though! Possibly FOREVER! Muwahahahaa ).

Day 21! 9 more to go til vacation and a week long break before starting the shred again. I tried level 3 yesterday, mostly out of curiosity since I have only done level 2 maybe 3 times. It totally killed. I had been doing pretty much just level 1 except for those 3 days last week. I figured since level 1 is still so challenging, that it might be best to stick with it for my 1st shred. Then I got to thinking that every level is probably going to be challenging for a long long time, and I was getting bored. Then after doing level 3 (barely) I figured I should be moving on to level 2 at least! So that's what I did this morning. Pushed myself through level 2! And it is finally getting-well not easier-maybe a bit more reasonable?
I think I will try level 2 for the next 9 days and on those days that I can squeeze in an extra shred, I can do level 1 or 3. Ok-sorry for the ramble!
Keep it up ladies! We are almost there! Just a little over a week!
Day 21 Level 2 No skipped days! :happy:0 -
Great! I know what you mean about those jumping lunges! killer. Also, the rock star jumps, I can barely get my legs up by that point in the workout!0
-
oh, and p1nkpr1ncess, be good to yourself! if you're having surgery your body needs rest, don't push yourself and hurt your recovery.0
-
Day 22 kinda sucked. I so did NOT wanna do it at all. But I dragged myself through level 2 whining all the way. 8 more to go... But for now, I am done and I WANT COFFEE!!!!0
-
Thanks for all the awesome motivation everyone! I would like to join too, I just began the 30DS yesterday. Good luck to everyone!!0
-
welcome! Day 27 down! I felt a little sluggish today, maybe not enough water or the vodka last night. I can't believe I have done this every day for 27 days!0
-
im very proud of this team you guys are doing amazing and i agree. you need to rest princess. dont work yourself. 0

welcome to the team sumblondchic0

Day 28 done! I would have felt better about today if I didn't have a giant blister on the bottom of my foot walking to breakfast in new sandals, ouch!0

Soooo.....skipped yesterday completely and blew my diet. Not even gonna log my food, cuz I think I'll just get discouraged! I'm hoping the fact that I did an extra workout a couple days will make up for my skipped day. So today is day 24. 6 more to go!
I'm wondering if anyone is seeing any weight loss? I have lost about 4 lbs, but I keep fluctuating up and down from 215 (starting weight) to 211. I went from no exercise at all and eating tons of junk and big portions at the beginning of the month to staying within 1400-1700 calories per day depending on how much I exercise. I have done the shred every day, sometimes twice. I am seeing a huge size difference, but not much weight. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but this fat has to burn off eventually. So I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing? Or has some advice or encouragement? Thanks!0 -
I posted this before but I think it makes a lot of sense and dispells a lot of myths. It's not really discouraging, it might help us all to be more realistic:

You are not going to see majoy weightloss working out for 20 minutes per day. I am proud of myself for making exercise a daily habit, but I will have to really cut my fat intake and up the cardio to see weightloss. I am getting stronger, but the reality is that most of us, especially women, cannot build enough muscle to burn more fat. The reality is, heavy people burn more calories just by existing than lighter people, whether the weight is fat or muscle. The latest studies show, "While resistance training was recommended for its beneficial role in potentially improving muscle strength and power, the physiologists found no evidence that increasing muscle mass enhanced weight loss, especially when combined with dieting."
Thoughts?0 -
I finished the first 10 days on level 1 and today I moved on to level 2. Boy is it a big difference. I just know that one day all of those planks will pay off!0
-
ok, glad the url worked for you. It sounds like you are doing well, nutrition-wise. when you weigh as little as you do, it takes more to burn calories. Another article by the same author has some more adivce:

Day 29 done! I felt pretty good about today. I do the girly-style walking pushups, and I don't jump on the lunges, on accounta this blister! and that makes my knees hurt, I think, I don't land right... One more day and I consider myself shredded:)0
-
I am day 2 on level 3 and wow those jumps are seriously brutal at times! I think it's that last rock star jump that really kills my knee. Otherwise I really enjoy this level, I have a whole new set of sore muscle groups so I guess that is good Good job everyone lets keep it up 0
-
Day 25 and level 2! Gotta admit that I have been loathing every second of this workout since moving to level 2. But just five more days and I get a break!
Keep it up!0 -
Day 30 complete! I am shredded:) But seriously, it was hard today, didn't get any easier for me.
I am going to take tomorrow off, maybe Thursday too. Try and find something new...0
