Day 4 level 1 done.. feeling it today. Had a hectic weekend and wasn't able to fit it in. Thurs was my last workout. Feels like day 1 again
Need to stick with this!
Great job on everyone for being so dedicated. It's pushing me forward!
You are doing great Kerry, it's easier for me because I'm not married and don't have kids to look after. Keep it up! You can do it!0 -
txchic- I have done the same thing! I did day 1, but haven't done anything since. I am restarting today and plan to do it everyday except for my long run days (10 miles this week). Maybe we can stay on the same track and keep each other motivated! I lose motivation easily!0

Doing the 50 min JM metabolism workout is highly recommended if you are like me and have more free time on weekends. It will kill you and no weights are required so I liked the greater cardio focus. I am doing 30 DS daily + a 20 min fast walk so thats only 250 calories burned daily for me so my food intake is between 1200-1300 other than Friday nights I eat about 2000 (my cheat day) and fast until dinner Saturday where I eat 500-800 calories for the day.
I'm still only doing 90% of the side lunge arm lifts from level one, 5lbs seems to be too heavy for that movement but I only don't lift up 4-5 x of that portion of the circuit (and you do about 25 lifts total there) and I still lunge so it’s ok.
My butt hurts today so it looks like the lunges are working, lol!0 -
One thing that frustrates me (and I am watching the DVD on a bluray) is that it takes about five minutes of the DVD to get to the starting point of the exercise and I cant fast forward or skip any of the intro! Anyone else have this problem?
You should be able to use the move forward buttons to fast forward ahead through the introduction of the girls, that’s weird it’s not working. Blu ray is Blu Ray and DVD friendly so it isn't because of the player. I workout in my bsmt so it’s only a DVD player there and I skip ahead fine. Try different buttons, perhaps you your clicking skip which wont help once the workout has begun.0 -

has anyone ever done the whole 30 days without breaks? is that recommended? yes, I know, if I'm to sore my body is telling me to take a break, but as I just started I'm curious.
Actually you aren't supposed to take a break even if you are sore, it is intended to be continuous. It depends on how ‘sore’ you are, if its just a soreness keep pushing but if it’s a pain then you pulled something. Recover and then come back and don’t do what you did last time to cause the injury.
I'll check back with ya Dec 2 to proudly let you know I've done the full 30 days
I haven’t taken a break yet (and I am out of the house 6:30-9:15 Tuesday nights so that’s hard) but I do the 50 min banish fat boost metabolism DVD on Saturday's instead b/c its harder than the 30 day shred and burns more cals so that’s definitely not a break, just a spice of variety.0 -
OOOOPS!! Turned my alarm off and slept on this morning, so missed my workout. I WILL be up tomorrow!!!!!!!
Missed out on my swim this afternoon, so did my Jillian sesh instead!!!!! Yay, me!!!!!0 -
Day 7 done (yeah I'm one that takes a break and my muscle thank me for that lol) I've found something that helps me (I don't have the DVD and this is on demand through my cable, so I only have level 1 right no) but after I got the basic instruction down I've started using my mp3 player and listening to music it makes it go by quicker atleast for me.
You guys are all doing great A little nervous I have a weigh in for another challenge I'm doing coming up and I'm hoping that I lost at least a pound 0 -
Wasnt home on Saturday so I missed Day 6 but I completed Day 7 & 8. I plan to move on to level 2 on Thursday.
LilynEdensmom- I also started using my ipod and I have more energy to get through the workout.0 -

I feel the same way. Weekends are crazy. Don't beat yourself up. Great job on the weight loss.:flowerforyou:
And this morning was only day 5 for me still on level 1. We can do it!0 -
Just finished Day 9 of the Shred. It was a lot harder then I thought it would be. I really had to push myself today. I think i over did it yesterday (I burned almost 1200 calories) and I'm paying for it today.0

Hi guys. Sorry I have not checked in lately. Been a little busy...
I have been doing the shred for 9 days now. I am determined to make it to 30. Tomorrow I start level 2. YIKES!!! I haven't weighed myself but will do that on Friday and see if I have gotten anywhere. My husband and I have set goals for Dec 1st. I want to be at 108 and he wants to be at 170. We'll see if we can get there.
My goal is to be between 105-108 (back to what i was prior to having my son).
Good luck everyone!!!0 -
My knees are really sore!!!!! Wondering if I can get something to wear to support them?0

Thats why I take saturdays off, usually to busy ( i know it sounds like an excuse but really lol). Congrats on the weight loss anyway
My day 8 is complete...and it was rough, TOM surprised me today but kudos to me for actually making it through a workout usually I am in bed the first few days b/c it is so rough but I am hoping as I lose weight it will get more normal..Since I could make it to work I figured I can do a workout and I did 0 -
4lb weight gain!!!!! Argh!!!!!!!! Hoping it's a combination of water retention (TOM is due, I think) and muscle -building from my Jillian workouts! I sooooooooooo want to hit ONEderland this month!!!!0

I'm doing day 9 today, in about an hour actually haha
I always warm up a lot before doing these workouts, just because my knees do get a little sore (yes I know, proper form... my bad). I do 30 minutes on my Wii Fit doing some short activity game things (Kung Fu, Obstacle Course, Snowballs and Skateboarding) and muscle workouts (Twists, those three leg ones where you stand on one leg, twist sideways and forwards? I don't know what they're called haha and balance bridge, and sometimes single arm stand). I try to get myself all loose and my heart moving a bit too by jumping rope and doing cross knee punches in between exercises.
I've done that every day before my 30 Day Shred video except yesterday, and OH MY GOSH can I tell the difference! So much better with a proper warm up! I know not many people have the luxury of time, but yeah, if you can do even 5 minutes before I'd definitely recommend it.
I don't have the full size weights so I'm cheating a bit, but those side lunges are so damn killer!!
I've been doing 15 minutes of Turbo Jam afterwards as well, while I'm still warm and sweaty. It's been going really well!
I you guys can't tell, I have way too much spare time haha
Will be checking in tomorrow after day 10 for sure, wish me luck for that, I have no idea what it's going to be like!0 -
Yea for me!!!! Day 10 complete, which means Level 1 complete!!!! I'm a bit scared for tomorrow, it looks like it's a lot more intense then Level 1. I'll let you know tomorrow.0

I have completed 9 days so far. I thought about taking a break tonight but then I found a picture of me before I got pregnant. HOLY SKINNY!!! I would love to back in that size. I dont see it happening but I want to get as close as I can. That motivated me - now i can't wait to get home and do it....
Bring it on Jillian!!
I think I need to trade my weights up to 10 pounds instead of five. What is everyone else using? I was told to start with two five pound weights. Maybe I will make it through level three first and then trade them up... (lol)
I've been doing pretty good on the diet this week. Typical day for me is special k's, yogurt and dinner, plus trying to drink water.... That's the hard part for me. I run three miles, do the shred video too. I saw another post about eat stop eat (the fast). I have only tried that one.
I'm not weighing myself till friday (got the water weight going on this week)0 -
Just finished my day 9 today was weigh in day for another challenge I'm doing. And I'm down a pound (which is normal since I started on MFP) ..I think I need to be doing more along with it but I'm really tired this week. I did do my measurements again this morning and I have lost an inch from my waist and .5 from my hips (my biggest two trouble spots) so that is a huge plus0
-
Last day on Level 1 today, yay!
I did a weigh in today as well, I've lost one pound since my last weigh in - two weeks ago. One of those weeks was a 30 Day Shred, the other was me being slack and eating bacon and eggs and chocolate when I visited my sister for the weekend... SO freaking happy!!
I've also lost 3 cm - bit more than an inch from my waist, and I can really tell.
Keep it up guys

Completed Day 9 Yesterday and Day 10 Today. So I will be moving on to level 2 tomorrow. :noway: Not sure if I will be able to do alot of the exercises because they maybe too hard on my knees. I'll try to do what I can. But, if it becomes too difficult, I'll just do Level 1 for the rest of the month.
Congrats to everyone who is still working hard on this challenge, whether you're on Lvl 1 or 2, Day 3 or 10. Have a Healthy Day! :flowerforyou:0 -

I use 5 lb weights. I dont want to move up because some of the exercises are tough so I think I'll be fine with these weights.0 -
Day 7 completed. Hard to believe that I'll be on level 2 next week. I'm still tweaking the cardio exercises but not as much as when I started. My knees are still sore and now the front of my shins, but I will continue!0
-
I know this is probably a stupid question but what size weights are recommended with the 30 day shred? I have 5 lb weights and can barely get through some of the exercises? Thanks in advance.
