Hey everyone! I'm back! I was on here before and lost 30 pounds before I got pregnant with my daughter. now I am struggling to get back to how I was before so I started my ever so popular 30 day shred for may. Was wondering if anyone wanted to join me? I find it a lot easier to stick with it when I have to check in. I am on day 3....anyone interested?

    Well, I didn't start on May 1st but I just finished Level 1 Day 1 about 20 minutes ago! I feel really great even though it was difficult for me... I'm obviously out of shape or I wouldn't even be here, ha.
    My husband's birthday is in about a month, so I'm still deciding if I should surprise him by getting fitter, or have him do it with me??

    I read that it gets easier after the first few days so I'm just going to push on. I couldn't do every single bit but I did as much as I could! (:

    Would love to see some other people doing the same thing! I'll join!

    Sounds great ladies!! Push through it!!! It does get easier! I promise!
    Doing some of the easier parts is fine and then build your way up to challenge yourself! I got to a point last time that I was able to do level one then level two right after. lol. I am excited for that day to come again for me!
    Yah! I'm excited we have a group going now!!!:smile:

    Hi Jay! I am on day 3 as well - I figured if I started on the 1st then I'd complete it by 5/30/13. I will be joining you as well :-)

    I'm on day 2. It just about killed me on my first day but found it slightly easier second time. I can't do push ups to save myself but I like the rest of it! x

    You will be able to! I couldn't do a single one on Day 1. Right now I'm on Day 20 and can do the real ones straight through until she tells me to stop. Good luck! :)

    I just did Day 1 today! I gotta say, it was easier in some ways than I thought it would be but more difficult in others. The cardio segments are hardest for me but I have a lot of "baby weight" to lose. I KNOW I'm going to need motivation!

    Level One Day 5 today!!! Yah!!! I was really excited to do it today! I squatted more when I was doing the shadow boxing part in cardio. And my legs burrrrrrned.:bigsmile: That's what I like to feel! Then I know it's working!! I can feel it getting a little easier so I need to challenge myself more.
    Great Job everyone!! Keep it up!!!:happy:

    Ok, so I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday but I did finish Day 3 of Level 1. Some things are getting easier and others are still kicking my butt. Not looking forward to doing Day 4 today but I just have to remember how great I feel about myself after I do it and that is my motivation for today! :)

    I did Level 1 Day 5 yesterday. Day 6 is tonight. Its still tough for me, but I notice its a little easier than the first day! And push ups suck :)

    Okay, my knees are HURTING!!!! So disappointed! All the exercises were getting easier EXCEPT for the jumping jacks. So, I did days 1-3 and rested for two days (which may not be such a horrible thing, I was just really trying to push myself since it's only about a 20 minute workout). I'm hoping I'll be able to start again tonight.

    I agree! Push ups do suck.:grumble: I still havent gotten onto my toes for them. all on my knees. I'm going to go do it right NOW!!!! Wish me luck! Level 1 Day 7 here I come!!!

    Push through ladies!!! You are all doing great!! :bigsmile: And I'm proud of you guys for checking in!!! No stopping us now!!!

    Just finished Level 1, Day 7. I am so glad that I am doing this!!! I feel soooo good after!
    I noticed too if I bring my shoulders back more when I am doing the butt kick or jump rope in cardio, I breath so much better! Oh and something I learned also when I am doing the lunges with bicep curls, keep your elbow tight into your side. When you are bringing the weight down, extend it a little further back and it works great for the tricep as well. :)
    Yah!!! :bigsmile:

    Drink Your Water!!!:drinker: :wink:
