I've experienced some weird weight changes though - I lost 1.5lbs in the first 2 days then gained 4 freakin' lbs on day 4! I've lost one of them this morning (day5) but hope the rest come off soon! I know it may be water/sodium related (not TOM) or muscle gain, but if they don't go away soon I'm going to add in some extra cardio and see what happens.0

Thanks. Glad to hear it's not just me! I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day, but I do it out of curiosity and don't let the numbers affect my motivation or anything. I've just never gained that much in a day (it's now up to 5lbs, btw!) so wondered what could be the cause and If I should tweak anything. I'm in for the long haul! I drink around 10 glasses of water a day but will try and increase that from today.
I'm also now convinced about the rest day point. I read yesterday that it's during the recovery from the stress of exercise that muscles improve, so for them to be in a constant stress state is counter-productive and just leaves you prone to injury. I don't think I could go more than 6 days without a break anyway, mentally or physically.0 -
This is very interesting because my weight is up 5 pounds and I have finished 30DS and am doing RI30. I weigh myself on Fridays, I used to do it everyday and my friend who asked her trainer about it said only 1x a week so I am trying to break myself from the everyday thing. But it is very disheartening to see you have gained weight on Shred, and no inch loss for me either. But, I feel stronger, my clothes aren't tight, so I can't figure it out either. i take 1 day a week off, usually Sunday. Not here is another mind blower for me........I measured my thighs last night, (my thighs are pretty slim to start with but I thought when I looked in the mirror they looked different) well. up 1 inch from when I started Shred............Not fat, but muscle. But who wants bigger thighs,,,,,,,,,not me! What the heck....It's all the squatting and lunging I think..........Any ideas here for me?0

Yesterday I completed D8 L1. My back hurts this morning, so I will probably take it easy today. I love when I notice improvements in the push ups though. I'm now doing 6 real ones, and I started at 4. I used to be able to do 12. I'm 1/2 way there! :laugh:0

I did L2D1 and it was insane...I thought I hated jumping jacks I really hate planks! I was not able to do near as much as I would have liked but hoping now that I know what to do it will be better. Also this was much harder since I am not coordinated! You would be laughing if you saw my husband and I trying to do these crazy exercises that I have never done before I hope everyone else is feeling the burn!0

I wasn't able to do the "girl" push ups since I had my daughter last November. Happy to say I can do about 12 in a row now. However - I always feel awkward when I try to do real ones...then I believe if I feel awkward, I must be doing them wrong. I can't remember the last time I did real push ups. My goal is to be able to do so by my bday in February0 -

Is it too late to join? I have been wanting to find others who want to do the dvd, so this would be GREAT support for me.
Thanks!

Well, I took a rest day from The Shred (realised I had slightly strained a tiny muscle in my groin/top of thigh pushing through the last of those freakin' arm raises) and did a Zumba class instead. I also upped my water by 3 glasses and hey presto - I'm down 6lbs from yesterday! So those pesky 5lbs and another one for luck are gone, hopefully to stay.
I think I'm going to stick to 2 days Shredding then a rest/cardio day from now on.0 -

I think a lot of us start alternating the workout with something else. It's all good!0

I did D9 L1 today. One more workout and then I will take my measurements (and post to my blog, because that helped to keep me motivated the last time I Shredded). I felt SO GOOD working out today, and much stronger (I've technically only done 4 workouts more recently, cause the other 5 were way back, so I really like the way this is going!). I'm so ready to bump it up to L2, cause L1 has gotten sooo boring.Well, I took a rest day from The Shred (realised I had slightly strained a tiny muscle in my groin/top of thigh pushing through the last of those freakin' arm raises) and did a Zumba class instead.
