Hello everyone! I just came across this website while I was searching about 30 day shred results and tips. Thought I would join and see if anyone wants to do the 30 days with me. 
I am 3 days into it and feeling really good! The first two days really kicked my butt!! Can't wait to get home tonight and do it again!
One thing that i have noticed is that I have larger legs and now my calves just feel like huge rocks. They are all muscle. Anyone have this same issue? I really hope they don't build up but eventually slim down. Anyone experience this?
Let me know who would like to join me!! Always great to have some motivation!

I've been doing the shred off and on for about a month, I haven't been nearly as dedicated as I should be. But, my wedding is coming up in 38 days so I'm back on the band wagon and giving it all I've got! I'd love to do it with you!0
-
I am on day 3 too! How cool is that??? I so agree with you about the first 2 days killing me!!!!!!!!! I did find today's soreness wasn't as bad! I also walk in the afternoons with some friends. I would love to compare results with you! Thanks for started this thread!0

the jillian michaels video?0

@marybeth....Congrats! I just got engaged myself. Another reason to going hard core on the work outs!@marlenia That is soo funny you also started the same day as me! Great minds think alike! I think my son hid my measuring tape cause I really wanted to get measurements. I guess I could use a regular tape measure. Hmm. Anyways, the only downer is that I have gained two pounds but I think that is because I seem to be getting muscle. Yay! I am excited you guys! Mainly so there are people going through the torture with me. haha 0

Today will be day 3 for me as well! CRAZY! Anyway, I'm on beginner level and the hardest part for me is the first stregnth circuit. I'm blogging about my experience in my blog on this site. I0

Oh wow. Thanks for posting this. I had never seen it before and just checked it out. I know what I'm gonna purchase early next week. I found it on Amazon for around $9. It starts ya off on a old school type of level workout and builds up. Just what I need! Thanks guys!0

Yay for all of us starting at the same time!!!!
@star I purchased this at Target this weekend. Hit up the store...then you don't have to wait for shipping!0 -
I have big legs too and when I first began I felt the same way. I am telling you right now you think it is all muscel, but the fat is there. I have now lost 56 pounds and my calves and thighs have really slimmed down. I believe that I have lost a total of 6 inches in my calves alone. Don't be discouraged, it will take time, but mine are still going down.
Good luck to you on your journey! By the way, I love 30 day shred, we even broadened our horizons once we got used to that one and bought all of the biggest loser videos. My friend and I can now do them all.......we are tired when done, but what a rush to know you did it!

hi! i just finished day 8 of level 1 and my calves are rock hard too... starting to notice SOME difference but not much just yet.. hang in there ya'll i love it now... not her so much but the workouts great!!0
-
Yes, you are right. I'll have to check and see if Walmart has it. Target is 1 1/2 hrs away and I won't be going up that way till about another couple weeks. So I'll have to check to see if it's at Walmart when I go Frid. Thanks!0
-
@dawn....6inches! Wow! That is what I needed to hear because my dad and I joke about how we have the family stumps. There is just nothing feminine about them. (well I know my dad wouldn't want feminine legs) But darn it! I would!
@size7....Glad to hear that you are having the same issue. Cause I really hope they don't stay this way. But with some of the jumping parts of the workout mine hurt!
I really hope to slim down and tone up!0 -
Just checked Walmart.com and it's available there but not in the stores so I'll have to order online. I'll be safe and order from Walmart rather than Amazon and Walmart ships pretty fast. And you can't beat .97 shipping.0

i bought mine at wal-mart in store although every store is different.. she also has ones for after the shred (im guessing) for those " hard to tone" spots im going to get that after lol... i always yell at her at the same place (its strength after the chest flies) the lunge parts easy but raising those weights eye level everytime gets me... so i yell at her and tell her she's evil and so on lol anyhow.. its an awesome workout you will get more than you pay for either way !!:flowerforyou:0 -
OH I KNOW!!!! Those damn lifts are killer! I swear my arms are going to fall off!!! I saw that Hard to tone one and almost got that instead of the shred but maybe if I ever master the shred (haha that just made me think of shredder from TMNT) anyways maybe I will move onto that one!0

Sorry I didn't get to post last night but it was quite busy! I had to mow the lawn then I did the shred for the fourth time and my stamina is really kicking into gear! Awesomeness!!! I am not really in much pain or anything but I feel really good. Almost considered getting on my elliptical last night but I had to clean and do some laundry!
It was so hillarious though Blaine (my 4yr old son) had not seen me do the shred before so he sat there and watched me then he decided to join! It was soo cute! Feeling really good. Once again, can't wait to get back home and do it tonight!
I am really noticing though that I am starting to really tone up....AND I LIKE IT! Yay!
So how did everyone else do? Everyone keeping up? We can do it!!!0 -

Awesome job! Last night I shredded then I did 20 minutes on my elliptical! Then this morning before work I even shredded! I am feeling sooo awesome! I cannot believe how I am actually starting to tone up! Not to mention I was actually able to do 15 push ups (modified) in a row! I have no upper body strength so that is a huge acheivement for me. YAY YAY!
So is it normal to do each level 10 days? Or should you wait till level one gets easy then move to the next?0 -

Thank you! Yeah I was really impressed when I was like "holy crap I just did 15 straight?!" lol. Court all day? aww I hope all is ok. One thing with the mood thing is that if you have something to look forward to it does help and with you being into shredding is really awesome. Plus excercise is a great way to alleviate stress! Keep it up. Let me know how level 2 goes! I think I am going to try it on day 10....eek. 4 days away!0 -

Yes they are evil! It IS a form of torture! lol. Welcome! Glad you are on a mission! Keep us posted as to your status! It feels great with this workout. I cannot believe how my body is already changing from it. Awesome!0 -
Alright guys! I hope everyone is keeping up with the Shred! I just got done this morning with the shred level 1. Almost ready to go to level 2!! I'm scared! lol. Anyways,on top of the shred I did 20 minutes on the elliptical also. As i am typing this my four year old just leans up on me and was like "ewww your sweaty!". lol. Yes, I did break a huge sweat this am. And it feels great! Well I am going to get my butt in the shower! Hope everyone has a great day and is able to keep up with their work outs over the holiday!

Well I did my last day of level one then decided to check out level two. I made it through half of level 2 before stopping because my ankle started to hurt. I think I will actually like level two better. Who knows. How are things going for you?
So a little one is sick? aww. I remember those days. It does get easier though when they get older and are able to communicate with you better as to what is exactly wrong. For the cough did you try some vick's?0 -
So I measured myself last night....Lost 1 1/2" around my hips since the first...WOOHOO!!! I hope everyone has been able to keep up with the shred!0
