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

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!

    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!!

    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:

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!
