    Are you all doing the shred as well as going to the gym? I'd like to try it, but I don't want to break my gym habit.

    I started yesterday...but close enough. :-) I have done it a few times before...but I always lose motivation. I need someone to keep me on track! I have about 30 days until my vacation in Mexico...I need to fit in my swimsuit!

    Just the shred plus regular walking and one pilates class each week!

    I've been doing the shred for a few weeks now. I don't do it everyday, I mix it up with a Billy Blanks DVD and walking (I've also been bad and missed a few days!). I'm still doing level 1 right now but I really like the DVD. I have started to mute JM's voice though lol, I just feel like I've heard what she's saying tooooo many times and it's getting annoying.

    My wife and I are in. We are starting the shred today and it always helps having people to help keep you motivated. I hope I don't end up looking like the girl on the video.

    I started today also. I did 30 mins of walking on the treadmill...then the shred, and ended with 30 mins on the spin bike. I did the level 1 shred today, can not wait to see how I feel tomorrow...Burn Baby Burn!

    count me in! i've been slacking and could really use a thread like this to check in to.

    when i first did the shred last june/july, i was committed to doing it 5 days a week. it was brutal on my knees. brutal as in motrin and ice. finally about 6 days into level 2 i stopped. later when i went back to it i'd switch up the cardio to keep it low impact. this time, i don't think i'll be so hardcore. but i definitely could use it to jumpstart my motivation again. i'll probably substitute some days with 20 minutes of non-shred circuits. and i'll follow the shred with a 1 mile run, just to get in a little extra cardio.

    I have been tinkering around with the MFP app... so this is new to me. I did order the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (and a few other DVD's of hers) the other day so I'm just waiting for them to come in. I also started the C25K yesterday. I have been working on my weigh off and on for a while now and felt the need to kick it up a level. Looking for some good motivation to rocket me towards the summer!
    :happy:

    I finished L1D2 today and I am seriously feeling it. I did it during my lunch break and was sore for the rest of the afternoon. I think doing it tomorrow night will be a lot better for me and my schedule.

    *whew* I FINALLY got my workout in today. I swear my kids don't sleep! I had no time to work out all day today. I got a sit-up workout in this morning while they were eating breakfast...but it was very distracting. I hate having to workout at night because I'd like to spend that time with my husband. (if I can get him to workout with me, that'd be awesome....but alas he won't)

    I took a before picture with my cell phone today and sent it to my friend I'm going to Mexico with in a month. I told her it's my motivation to make sure I workout daily. I wont' share that pic with people unless I get all buff and have an awesome after pic to share as well. :-)

    I did the first workout yesterday (Feb.14) and by the evening, my thighs were starting to get sore. I took Advil when I went to bed last night as I could feel myself stiffening up. I am so sore this morning - from my shoulders to my knees!!! LOL - I will get back to it this morning though. How does everyone else feel today?

    I'm a day late but I'm in. I finished my first round of the shred last week and I'm ready for round 2! I am going to increase my weights to 5 lbs and try to follow Natalie. : )

    Happy Shredding!

    I finished D3L1 today and it has gotten wayyyyy easier than the first two days. I manged to do a lot more regular push ups than i usually do and I only had to stop one other time. It was during the side lunges which didn't make me want to cry nearly as much today as they usually do .

    My second day was much easier than the first but I also didn't burn as many calories. I am still sore and stiff but doing it again helped.
