    D5 L3 DONE! still not doing the plank or push up type positions on the floor. Only floor work i do is the abs. My head is still giving me problems. But I'm just modifying it. Still pushing hard and doing other workouts during the plank/push up positions.

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Keep up the great work. Dont just look at the scale. That's not always the best way to notice. Measure yourself! And just feel the difference. Although trust me I know the feeling of being dissappointed by the scale. I have realized though to not just focus on the number on the scale but just how I'm feeling.
    Just keep up the great work!!!

    So today I went to the doctor and it turns out I pulled my bicep and strained my shoulder, so I'm going to have to quit the shred for a little bit. Wish I could finish!! I only had 7 days left, but health first, I'd hate to do more damage.

    I am sorry to hear about your injuries...but you are right, it is best to make sure you don't do any further damage! I hope you are feeling better soon!

    I haven't checked in for a minute, but I am still doing the shred I'm on Day 4 of Level 3 today. I really liked level 2 best and felt like I sweat a lot and got a great workout in that level. I think I am struggling with this level more though because I have a weak core and back and need to improve the strength before I can really charge right through the DVD. I do the moves with Natalie until it becomes to hard then go to the modified moves with Anita. When I do the planks on my hand weights it really hurts my knuckles. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Also, I don't know what is up with my body, but after the first 10 days I was down 4.5lbs & 7.25" and now I am back up again and so frustrated. The first 10 days I was doing spin and yoga and I dropped that off this last week. I eat pretty healthy most of the time with a splurge here and there, but nothing to bring my inches and pounds back up. Even though I stopped the cardio I shouldn't gain everything back right? At first I was thinking it was period bloat, but my period is over now. I guess even if at the end I am the same size and weight at least I am getting stronger and have more energy. Still frustrating though.

    Ok, SO I haven't posted, but I am still here. Tonight was my last night on level 2, so tomorrow I will attempt level 3 until next wednesday where I am starting the ripped in 30 days....Good job everyone.

    Day 22 done today! Did level 3. I really am going to try to do level 3 for the rest of the 8 days as I like how much it focuses on the core and abs. That is my biggest trouble area. I already feel a huge difference in my strength during the exercises. I have even done some of them with Natalie for awhile and then switch over to the modified. Still not able to do the rock star kick but that is mostly due to where I have to exercise...I don't want some of the valuables falling off the walls down stairs lol. By my calculations, My last day will be Monday the 24th (I take off every Friday for a rest day) . I am so excited to see the results...I was looking at the DVDs at Walmart on Friday and saw the Ripped in 30 and also two other Jillian DVDs...one for butts and thighs and one is Yoga that is a high fat burning workout...have any of you tried any of these? Thinking of picking up another one to alternate with Zumba and 30 DS so I don't get bored through the winter. I want to start bike riding and running once winter is done. Have a great night all!

    Thanks! It was a great day! My feet are sore lol we walked around alot and we walked around alot yesterday at my sister in law's farm.
    But the planks, the thing with this that I dont get is level 2 I was fine with them...then once I hit level 3..it was like what the heck? But I must've just pinched something or pulled something. Better now!

    Day 23 COMPLETE!! Did level 3. Still don't do the rock star kicks, but getting stronger every day!! My sister and I decided to do a 5K this spring...I have always wanted to run and never thought I could, but now that I have proven that can do something I think I can't , I want to try everything lol! Gives me something else to hold me accountable. Going to start the C25K program tomorrow! Once these 30 days are up I will use the C25K program as my cardio and still do the strenght and ab exercises from 30 DS too. Mixed in with a little Zumba. My sis lives 3 hours away so we won't be able to train together, but we will run together and we are going to make it an annual sisters weekend! SO excited!! Thank you ladies for helping to give me the push I needed!

I am proud of how far I have come and how far all of you ladies have come as well. I did my first day of C25K today as well!! Feeling strong and like I can do anything!!

    Excellent Job!! I am so proud of you & your commitment!! Were the results more or less than you expected? I wish I had your dedication but I'm switching up my routine. Congrats on your perseverance & success!!
  • Hey you guys!! I've been out of commission with working out b/c I've been enjoying my weekend. I started a Boot Camp Aerobics class today & thanks to the 30 DS I did two sessions instead of one!!! Some of the moves were similar to those from the Shred but my endurance was very high!! I really enjoyed it. I also did a fast 2day so I didn't eat until after I worked out & I felt really good. I'm considering doing the Shred on Tuesdays & Thursdays until I finish, we'll see!! Good Luck Everyone!

    So proud of all you ladies!!! trhjrh06, congrats on your last day - you've done an excellent job and are such an inspiration! Great commitment!

    Well, I have fallen pretty far behind. I'm wondering if I should just start over. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since I've done the shred. After my company was gone last week I was left with a chest/head cold. I just have not pushed myself the way I should. I did do wk1/C25K Sat & Sun. The first day felt great to sweat out some of those germs but this cold just won't kick and I keep talking myself out of doing the shred - not good.

    So basically I need to make a decision about where to go from here. I will finish the 30DS! - just not sure how I want to do it. For the 12 days that I did do the shred I was really missing a good "run" on the elliptical but didn't have the energy to do both. I am considering doing the shred 3 days a week alternating with C25K 3 days - at least until I feel strong enough to do both in the same day. I have only ever gotten through week 3 of the C25K program and would really like to finish it.

    Ok so weight results I started at 260.8 and ended at 254.6 so a loss of 6.2lbs!!!!! Hey im happy with that. We all want it to be more of coarse but Im happy. As far as measurements I don't know because im not very good with measuring myself I don't think I stay in the same spot everytime so I don't think its accurate. But I think I've list 1.5 inches off my waist and 2 inches off my hips.

    Keep up the great work ladies! Going to start using my elliptical today and buy another dvd soon!
