I need a 30 day shred buddy

Just started today! L1D1 complete!

I started MFPJanuary 2nd at 183. I have stuck pretty close to my calorie allotment 1500. I don't always eat my calories back. I use a scale to weigh meat mostly and I measure out everything else with cups. I try to eat a decent amount of protein. If I am going to have a special treat I just make sure it fits into my calorie amount or I work extra hard at sweating. I try to do 60 minutes of one of the following: running(started out alternating 1 minute jog/1 minute walk and built up from there), elliptical 60 minutes, or stairclimber30/elliptical(flute fucosed)30 minutes. One rest day. The whole month of March I was unable to do any cardio because I injured my ankle(I have a reaccuring sprain). I still lost 10 pounds that month because I stuck to 1400-1500 cals. I use a heart rate monitor and I try to intervals or hills. I'm just starting 30 day Shred. I haven't done any strenght because I'm terrible at it. I lose focus and I'm just lost when it comes it it and get bored. It's always been easier for me to just hop on a machine and go. Now that I am getting closer to my goal I want to start adding in strength. I'd like to eventually switch over to doing mainly strength(I think it would be better for my ankle and joints). I still want to run, I love running and how I feel after a good run.

Just started today!!! Loved it. Can't wait to see what the next 30 days bring.

@marieschneider1097 great job! I plan to do Day 2 tonight!

@vkr2q7 good job!

That's great! Are you following the diet plan also?

Just finished Level1Day3. Still sore but working through it. Did it get better in a couple days? Lord I hope so.

Monday's have become a recovery day for me and I plan to not do Shred that day as well. I might add a couple more days of level 1(like do 12 days). I just want to make sure I am solid with the exercises before I move on to the next level. Maybe I will feel differently by day10 but right now I still feel sloppy and weak. Specially those lateral rises on circuit3. My squat presses are weak as well. Still super happy with how things are going so far and really glad I got motivated and started this.

@LizzyK1983 that's great ! Day 5 done .

I absolutely flailed through L1D2 yesterday, then I went on a 15 mile hike. I was dreading Day 3 today but I actually think it went pretty well!
@roboliciousbob my fiancé has been saying he was going to do it with me for three days

I had originally planned on taking a rest day but I have no soreness and I'm feeling so good...plus restless not doing something. So I might do level 1 day5. Good job getting to day6, almost a week in! I'm not sure how I talked my husband into joining in, he has been watching what he eats(bad blood pressure so watching salt, trying to lose a little) and he walks. Now I told him yesterday there is no backing out now

That's so great! I also went for a walk today!

Good job!

Day 5 done!
