My BEFORE the 30Day Shred Pic...Results in 21 Days

ShellGetsFit

So my hubby's reaction to hugging me this morning has spurred me to post my beginning pic from Day 4 of the 30Day Shred. He was shocked that by Day 9 he could notice such results!! A little background...I've had 3 beautiful girls over the last 9 years, the youngest just turned 3. I had never really had trouble shedding the pregnancy pounds after the first two, the third was less than a charm though, it's stuck around my middle! LOL I've tried numerous times to get in shape and bring back the fit me, I quit every time for whatever excuse I had at the time. This time, Mama isn't quitting! So, here it is Day 4 (wish I had taken one on the first day), and I have to say I had tightened up quite a bit in only those 4 days too! Amazing how those core muscles effect how you look!

P.S...This is another way I'm keeping myself accountable! If I post now with this pic, I just HAVE to come back in the end and post my results!

Looking good girl...I didn't take a before or measure because I can't find my measuring tape ugh!!! I will measure at my moms this weekend though. I just wish I knew what it was to start with.

haha totally can relate. She is soooo annoying I swear, her voice echoes in my head! I am not from the US so I guess the accent is a little... hmm... not so pleasant for my ears?

But she does a great job and is actually a super cool person!

JessHealthKick

Well done!!!! I have been at the gym a lot so maybe can post some pics in a few months as well

LOL! I curse at her every day! Especially when she makes us do pushups and those damn side lunge/lateral arm raises! I live for ab time though! LOVE IT!

I did day two this morning...thanks for posting those pics....gives me some motivation as I called her a nasty name this morning after I was done!!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who takes a break during jumping jacks and jump ropes....I keep moving, just can't keep up with the jumping jacks and the jump ropes.

I guess I can't expect to go straight from couch potato to going full speed in 2 days!!

I didn't take any before pics, but I'm thinking now that maybe I should!!

You look great! keep up the hard work!

Thanks so much everyone!! :happy:

Day 4 got much easier for me. Day 7 & 8 I had zero energy but I pushed through it anyway. This morning I had all my energy back again and gave it my all plus what I had been missing the last two days!

I really do suggest taking pics and measurements to see your progress! The scale hasn't changed but I really don't care! I feel the difference and my clothes fit better. I could stay at 159 as long as the inches kept falling off! :happy:

Today is day 4 for me. I was so sore yesterday...did it anyway. Hurray. today not sore! I feel better already...I did not realize how weak my arms are with the push ups. Great job for you!!! Thanks for being an encouragement to sticking with it!

JustAGirl0916

You took the words right out of my mouth!!! I'm not sure what it is but Jumping jacks are the worst!!!!!!!!!!! lol! I curse too and I'm not usually one who does that haha!

Schmidt722

Keep it up, you're doing great!

Today is day 4 for me. Is there punching in levels 2 and 3 as well? I find that imagining I'm punching JM is actually pretty satisfying!

ShellGetsFit

Thank you!! I love the punches!!! All of you that don't like Jillian, you make me laugh so hard!!! :laugh: I don't mind her at all. lol

It's not that I don't like Jillian, it's I'm so angry at myself for letting me get into such bad shape!!

I am awaiting my DVD being delivered - i so cant wait after seeing everyone's progress.

Everyone seems to be looking good!

Amyy1982

You look great!! I'm on day 5 and I feel amazing!! Can't wait for day 30!!

miranda823

You just inspired me to get up off my but and do a shred! Thanks

msmichle

Good for you!! You look great! Keep up the good work! I started the 30 day shred and hurt my knee doing the jumping jacks, so went back to the elliptical.
Now I think it's time to try 30 day again..Have a great guy I am seeing and want to look my best!

RambyPandy

I am on day 3, and am so excited to stick with it to see results like this! Thanks for sharing, you look great!

I got all the way to day 12 Level 2 before I got a nasty cold and had to stop for two weeks. I started back up last Sunday on Level 3 and after five days I think I can finally do Natalie's exercises all the way through! I've dabbled in the P90X workouts, so the 30 Day Shred isn't as tough, but being away from it for a couple weeks sure is noticeable!

Keep on rockin! You're doing awesome!
