Who wants to start Jillians 30 Day Shred with me?

Level 1 is complete - 10 days accomplished! I will take my measurements and pictures when I get home this evening. I still haven't peeked at Level 2, but I'll be ready to jump right in tomorrow morning.

Day 9 - done.

I will be so glad that I don't have to hear the same Jillian banter after tomorrow.

"If you're like me you may feel a little silly"....that is the main part that just truly annoys me. lol

I *do* feel silly. Mainly because I don't feel that I'm stretching ANYTHING when I do those no matter how far my range of motion. X-D

Day ten - check

***gained 1/2 each inch in my hips and neck and my waist is the same which is awesome considering I'm retaining ALL kinds of water from Easter and had MASSIVE visible stomach bloat last night. X-D

Day 5 complete Woo Hoo!!!

Yes I know I'm behind you guys but the best thing about falling is getting right back up.
I will do Day 6 tonight and I promise to double up with the Shred and reduce Zumba until Friday so by Saturaday I will be able to start Level 2. I still plan on taking Sunday as my rest day so I will double up on Saturdays and maybe Wednesdays until I catch up with you guys......I feel so energized....:drinker:

Good for you! You know, I may start taking a day of rest myself and double up on one of my days. Good idea!!!

Day 10 done!! I can't believe I have done 10 consecutive days!!! Lots of challenges, but I made it happen every day! Hope I can handle Level 2 tomorrow!!! And as a benefit my hubby said my butt had gotten smaller!! Woo hoo!!! I so needed that since the numbers on the scale haven't moved. I weigh-in is tomorrow....fingers crossed.

Just finished Day 6.....I dont think doing 2 a day will be a very good idea for me....I was very tired the whole time and couldnt do alot of the exercises properly especially the cardio....I will try doubling again tomorrow and see how it goes....if it feels the same I might have to just have to trail behind you guys....

Guys, level 2... wow. Lol. Okay so yesterday I did my last two level 1 work outs. Don't think it was a good idea doing two in one day, and then taking on level 2 the next. Haha. I woke up sore and was not feeling up to starting level 2. Plus the cheeseburger for lunch was not a good idea but I just could not resist as I have not had a real beef cheeseburger in about two months. Let me tell you, this is almost unheard of because burgers are my faaaaaavvvvee! Anyway, got off my lazy butt and did shred level 2. Man, I was sweating like a monster. Haha I was almost sure I had died by the end, but after I caught my breath, I actually enjoyed the workout! Even though I felt it was a lot more difficult than level 1, I am looking forward to doing level 2 tomorrow, and building my endurance for it. I liked the cardio a lot better on this level because I felt there was more variety. But I hated having so many plank moves. Blah. How did you guys feel about level 2? Hope I'm not too sore tomorrow!

Whooo hooo! Finished day 10 yesterday and took measurements this morning. Overall 3" inch loss!! I'm really happy. I'm not sure that I want to move to level 2 just yet. Maybe level 1 for 10 more days - I could do the 60 day shred? Had a 1.5 lb weight loss.

All these great posts keep me going


Bust - 40" (was 40.5)
Waist - 33" (was 34.5)
Hips - 42" (was 43)
Arms - same (?)
Thihgs - same =(

I did day 4 (or 5-lost count!) of Level 1 yesterday...then mowed the grass and then ran a little with the dogs...what a workout day! I am feeling a little stronger in keeping up with the cardio and the strenght moves. It's a small improvement, but it's definitely there.

For those of you weighing and measuring, don't be upset if your numbers stay the same or even move up when you've started this. I find that everytime I start a big exercise project that always happens, and then all of a sudden things move in the other direction. For some reason I forget this each time and feel badly when it happens...then I remember...oh yeah...that's just the usual 'shock' adjustment my body seems to make to the new exercise routine.

If you're not totally messing up on your calories in and you're doing this shred video, there's NO WAY all the numbers aren't going to show improvement in the end - YOU GO GIRLS!!!!

I'm in I just bought it yesterday!
I will measure and take before/after pics

Thanks for proposing this challenge.

I am so ready to burn some more fluffy (fat) off

Day 1-Level 2 complete....Jillian tried to kick my *kitten* but I kicked back...lol That was more challenging but only 19 more days to go!! lol

I have a love/hate relationship with the planks. Just not really sure how I feel about them. This level is for sure tougher but will be more rewarding, I think!
