    L2 D6 done. I will try to do D7 tomorrow and then I'm planning on taking the weekend off. I feel like my body needs a couple days rest. Lol

    checking in...

    I did L1 D2 yesterday... Boy, I didn't realize how sore I was from D1 until I started my D2! today I can barely move!

    Kids are off on a snow day today and husband is working from home so I should be able to get D3 in today a bit later.

    Things I like about the work out...

    1. Strength training. I love using the weights. They make me sore, but in a good way.

    2. Abs training... I like the last ones in L1 - the bicycle crunches or whatever they're called. So hard to do, but I have that nice (not so little) muffin top I'd like to reduce! :tongue:

    3. Aerobic training - I like the punches and butt kicks.

    Overall it tires me out and makes me sore, but it reminds me that I'm working to get the weight off and tone up the muscles!

    L1D4 just done. I think I should have waited just a little longer after eating dinner. Ugh...

    Got my Shred in today... L1 D4. Definitely getting less sore. Still hard but seems to go by more quickly.

    I even managed to actually do more push ups today than I normally do (but I still don't like them).

    Level 1 Day 6 down! I actually got through the entire video with very little pausing for a breather. That feels so good! So how do I know when I am ready to move on to Level 2?

    Can someone tell me what the Shred is? I just joined this site today and I am really new to it all. Is the shred a workout program?

    :flowerforyou: Hi Yahrei, and welcome to MFP!:flowerforyou:

    The Shred is what we call Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and yes its a workout program--actually its a dvd and one that I really enjoy doing--after I've finished for the day!:laugh:

    Join us if you'd like!

    I wasn't able to get to it today:grumble: --loads of up and down the stairs with stuff from my youngest daughter's room. I plan on doing it tomorrow, though.:happy:

    I'm working on the Shred (on level 1, day 6 now), but today I took a day off from that and did the "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism" video today- I was able to get all the way through it without stopping!

    Just finished Level 1 Day 5.

    I am a lot less sore than I was -- I can also make it through the first set of push ups (on my knees) -- and maybe 2-3 on the second set (I'm a wimp hence the working out!).

    I have a question about transitioning from Level 1 to Level 2 ... did most of you do Level 1 for 10 days and then Level 2 for 10 days, etc... or do you transition it in somehow?

    Good Morning everyone!

    On Friday, I lost my first pound. Yeah! Just finished L1 D7. I hoped to finish day 7 last week but I my monthly "friend" decided to pay me a visit and zapped the energy out of me. I found that today's workout was even harder than the first day. That's likely do to the fact that it's been a few days since I've done it. I'm sure that tomorrow will be better. I'm happy to see that everyone is staying on track. Now that I'm beginning my second week of the shred, I'm finding it necessary to come of with ways to ensure that I get it done. I'll be traveling this week (hosting my sister's bridal shower) so I may have to do the shred twice a day here and there to make up for the days that I will not be able to do it. Has anyone tried that before?

    Expect great things!

    Melissa

    P.S. Welcome Lisl! You will do great!

    Melissa - I did just that last Friday, in anticipation of a huge dinner and night of drinking (pre-burning and also knowing I wouldn't be up for it Saturday!).

    But, we ended up going out Saturday night too so Sunday was a total loss, so now I'm 2 days off and sleep deprived. I still plan to do L1D8 today, though. Maybe I'll throw in a session of Backside for penance.
