    From the looks of it you made yours on an outside site. My guess is that you would need to go to that site and enter the updated info.

    Still have to go buy one. I think I am also going to do Shred with weights. Can't fine the weights for sale any where but on-line. Anybody know where they have them??? (kettlebells)

    I have both the 30 day shred and Shred it with Weights. You can use a regular dumbbell for the shred it with weights. If you want to buy the Kettlebell I'm pretty sure that I picked mine up at Target, I got the one that is adjustable from 5-20lbs. but the non adjustable ones are cheaper, just depending.

    And copied from previous thread:

    Stats 2/28/11
    Weight: 216.4 lbs.
    Chest: 43"
    Waist: 40"
    Hips: 51.25"
    Upper arm: 16.25"
    Upper Thigh: 27.75"

    I'm currently on Day 8; Level 1. Getting Nervous for Thursday when I go on to level 2!

    Level 2 for me on Thursday as well - but I am already noticing changes so I can't wait!!

    I did day 1 of the shred. According to my heart rate monitor I only burned 125 calories. however, i need to go buy some weights, as i could not find mine tonight. I'm sure that makes a difference. Will take measurements tomorrow.

    You could always use soup cans:)

    If you bookmarked your ticker or what I did is I added the web page to my favorites then you can access it there. You have to click on change your ticker and you go through all of the steps you did when you fist created it then at the end of it you can change your number.

    Great job everyone! I will do my Day 2 workout this evening. I haven't decided if I should do it before or after my basketball game. We will see how I feel. Good luck everyone. We got this!

    It looks like you and I have about the same measurements. We CAN do this! I was about in tears with the jumping jacks (no bra I have ever found holds the boobs down!) but I made it.

    OK, Level 1, day 2 completed. Still have to do cardio today, hoping to put my daughter in the stroller and go for a nice long, fast walk. We'll see how the weather cooperates w/ my plans though.

    Also not feeling so great about myself today, so I'm going to go off on a rant....Ugh, I totally went over my calories, carbs...well, everything yesterday. I did good the first part of the day but then I dont know what happened, I wanted (and did) eat pretty much everything in sight. I have a problem with snacking on my girls's food - you know, bite of cereal here, a bite of their mac and cheese at lunch time, ect. I got so tired and somewhat depressed last night and that led to food, too. I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm always disappointed in myself. I want to be happy and proud of my accomplishments and want more accomplishments! I think I'm also afraid of failing at this 30 day shred. I know I can keep up at the 30 days, but what if I'm not working hard enough or something. (I hope to see results at the end of the 30 days, but I know I'm sabotaging myself w/ my snacking). I'm used to failure on my own, but now I'm accountable to all of you lovely ladies, and am afaid of failing in this group. Wow-I'm all over the place on my ranting! Just had to get it all out and see if I can get back on track today. Sorry for the massive post.....

    Good Luck to everyone on Day 2!

    3/1/2011 Measurements:
    Weight: 207.4
    Neck: 15
    Left Arm- 12.5
    Right Arm- 13
    Bust- 46
    Waist- 45.5 (one inch above belly button)
    Hips- 48
    Right and Left Thighs- 26.5
    Left Calf- 15.5
    Right Calf-15

    I did Day 1 Level 1 of the Shred just now. I used 2lb weights and boy am I going to be feeling it in the morning.
    My HRM says I burned 355 calories.

    I'm not gonna lie, I struggled. I've NEVER been able to do sit-ups properly because my stomach muscles split after I had my kids and I end up pulling more with my neck and not my abs.

    Bought the 30 day Shred today,and the Shred with weights. I did my first workout today. Does anyone know what to put in our exercise calories burned??? I know everyone is different, but I don't want to list too high. I am so out o shape. Do we need to do this workout everyday, or do we need to take breaks???

    Good Luck to everyone on Day 2!

    We all have days where we go over (and it's not a bad thing in moderation) and we just emotionally eat. The key is finding something instead of eating that can satisfy our emotional needs. Whether it be running, working out, crying to a best friend, etc. Hang in there- 30 Day Shred is brutal but I know that you CAN do this!

    It's designed to be done in 30 days, 1 time each day. If you can't do it, it's ok to take breaks it just may take longer to get the results. Jillian says in the video that when you master Level 1, move on to Level 2.

    I weight 207 and I burned 355 calories doing Level 1 today.

    I put mine under circuit training:) We are going to do this for a minimum of 6 days with an extra 20-30 minutes or more of cardio.

    Finished day 2! Remind me to never do this with my one year old in the room. Somehow he thinks when I do sit ups he should lay on me!! Lol. Definitely a hard workout. I'm going to a basketball game today and we're pretty much going to be walking all day. That's going to have to count as my exercise today, because I won't get home until really late... Good luck to everyone today

    I had the same problem. I'm attempting (and I'm pathetic and just can't do it!) to do push-ups and my 3 year old is trying ot sit on my back. Granted, she's only 25lbs but good Lord I can't even do a good modified one, nevermind with her on my back. Then she's in my way when I'm trying to do some of the other stuff.

    Day two, level one done. I'll be running on the treadmill for probably about 30 minutes today for my cardio. Umm, side lunge with anterior raise... anyone else think thats impossible to do for an entire minute? Maybe by day ten I'll be killing those, but right now, that exercise is HARD. Don't mind the ab exercises though, cuz I get to lay down for a minute!

    Day two is done. I am sore and I REALLY think I should buy smaller weights. I'm using the old 5lb ones I have and IT BURNS!

    Got in the Shred 1st day - level 1 and 40 minutes treadmill with intervals - did 2 miles. Total of 60 minute workout. Hope everyone is doing well with it. The Shred video was hard for me. My arms are not strong, so I had a hard time doing the easy push ups.

    Hips 44.0
    Bust 38.0
    RThigh 26.0
    LThigh 26.0

    Anyways, I did Last Chance Workout for my extra cardio this morning and i'll be getting my shred on later today.

    Hope everyone has a great day!!!

    Any idea how to chart this under exercise?

    Circuit Training:)

    I entered 30 DS Level 1 into the workout database *note* the calories are based on my weight, height, sex, age, and effort according to my polar HRM. So i know the results will be different for everyone. Also my HRM says i burn anywhere from 216-240 during level 1 but i always enter it in a little bit less so i don't end up over eating. :bigsmile:
