    Hey yall... so glad to see we have a big group of Shredders! Sorry I was late posting my measurements, had a later night at work last night than planned and today was a horrible day. But anyway I managed to get my measurements and just completed L1D1 of the Shred!! And let me just say OMG I forgot how much I disliked those side lunges w/ lateral raise! 3lb weights were sooo heavy by the end of the 2nd set! And I still HATE HATE HATE the push-ups and bicycle crunches!
    I was disappointed at how the cardio in the 1st circuit had me so out of breath this time around! But whenever I needed a break I didn't stop for more than 5 seconds like Jillian said. I really hope the cardio gets easier soon... the cardio in circuit 2 & 3 was much easier for me than circuit 1.

    Well my measurements made me disgusted! I don't know how I let these get so out of hand but cannot wait to see them decreasing! And hopefully not in the bust area I've already lost a few inches there which is making my shape look very weird lol And I always feel like I take my measurements wrong but here it goes....

    CW: 213.6
    Chest: 44"
    L Arm: 14.5"
    R Arm: 14.5"
    Abs: 44"
    Hips: 45.5"
    R Thigh: 22"
    L Thigh: 22"

    Yuck! But hopefully this all decreases at the end of level 1!! Can't wait for day 2!!! Keep on Shreddingggg

    I will be doing the shred once I get off today.

    Let me ask you all, are you doing any other workout along with the shred? Also, are you all "dieting" or roughly eating the same in moderation?

    Thanks

    I am doing walk at home dvds along with the shred. I was doing a 5 mile fat burner walk/jog dvd but just bought a 3 mile dvd and some weighted gloves to add a little more strength training to it. Some days I will do 3 miles, some days 5, some days 8... because I have quite a bit to lose and Jillian doesn't give me enough cardio. I'm also eatting healthier, not necessarily a diet. But I'm trying to stay within my calories and I'm using the bodybugg to calculate how many calories I burn all day.

    Hi all. I signed up w/ MFP on my phone a couple months ago (ETA: I guess it was 3 months ago, ha), but I haven't been using it regularly. Today was the first time I checked it out on the computer and came to the boards. I did 30 Day Shred last year and liked it when I was trying to get in shape for my wedding. I had been thinking about putting it back into the routine. I usually at least do BodyCombat 2-3 times/week at my gym (on a good week) and maybe a run. I hadn't been to the gym yet, sat here and read the thread and decided today was as good as a day as any to start the Shred again.
    So L1D1 is done!
    I'll get my husband to do my measurements later and post those tomorrow.
    My starting weight as of 3.18.11 was 198.8. I think my WI day will be Fridays.

    Oh, and here is a link to a blog run by 2 people who started with the 30 Day Shred (and have since done much more). There are usually different challenges and lots of good info if anyone is interested: http://www.theshredheads.com/

    L1D1 Update:

    I think I am going to die! But, I did it! I only used weights about half the time, did the modifications and went at a slightly slower pace (not doing quite as many reps), but I did every exercise! I am already sore but it feels like an accomplishment!

    I would love to join in! I've started this before, but never went the full 30 days. Summer is coming up quickly, so I better get serious about this now. I like the idea of doing 10 days of each level. I actually did Level 3 yesterday just to see if I could and it wasn't horrible but I did a lot of the modifications. I think I'll start again with Level 1 tomorrow. I'll post measurements then, as well. Can't wait to see this through this time!

    Did a simular group in Febuary and it was helpful. Last weekend of Febuary and March has been nothing but excuses.

    Take it one day at a time and know its only 20 minutes.

    CW 236.5
    Neck 15.5
    Bust 48 @nipple line
    Arm 15
    Waist 48.5 @bellybutton
    Hips 49
    Thigh 27
    Calf 17

    I too wonder if I measure correctly. But I guess as long as it is the same spot each time thats is all that matters. What people call the natural waist (where your body curves in naturally) is right under my breast and I would never wear my pants that high up. LOL

    Be careful if your knees are sore! I felt like that when I was on level 3 the last time I did shred, ended up hurting my knee and couldnt finish level 3 ... hopefully doesn't happen this time arounds.

    Today was a busy day, well the next couple days will be super busy for me, which is why it's great that 30DS is pretty short...
    L1D2 wasn't as bad, I still had to take a break or 2 in the 1st circuit... not sure why the cardio gets to me during this part.. I think part of it is that I need a better sports bra for the jumping jacks/jump rope part and I think maybe from just doing jumping jacks in the warm-up... cause the cardio in circuit 2 & 3 aren't a problem for me. I still hate those push-ups and bicyle crunches.. especially today my abs were sore when I woke up this morning! 28 days to go!

    Keep Shredding!!!
