    It cracked me up that your dog came in to be in the photoshoot!

    Omg, there were times the cat was in there too. In fact, my arm is out all funny in one of them because I was snapping trying to get him to move out of the way, lol.

    :cry: Whew...just did D1L1....I feel ill:sick: ...and shaky:sick: ....and barfy:sick: . I couldn't finish it! :cry: :cry: :cry: I had 10 minutes left!! Tomorrow I will do the whole thing!! Hopefully.

    This morning I weighed in at 155 after weighing in at 153 yesterday so I'm guessing it's water retention from chili and hamburgers. I don't think I'll measure everywhere...weight and how my clothes fit are all that matter to me. :flowerforyou:

    Hello Fellow Shredders!

    I wear a heart rate monitor and get the calorie burn from that - not sure how else to find the calorie burn for doing the workout . . . .
  • Hey Everyone,

    It was suggested to me to start a new board for everyday of this challenge, which I think is a great idea being as the original post is now 4 screens long!

    So, I'll be creating a new board everyday entitled "November Shred-It Challenge Day (x)" , x being whatever day of the challenge it is.

    Hope everyone was able to squeeze in their shred dvd today! Cant wait to hear how you're all doing!

    please add me to the list :) i started the shred in October, but havent been doing it EVERY day.... i want to start from the beginning and MAKE myself go thru day 30! im hoping my ankle injury will allow me to follow-thru. :(

    to those of you asking about "entering in exercise" on the site : i went in to circuit training, 20 minutes(it will then give you amount of calories burned), i then went in to add new exercise and named it "Jillian 30 day shred" entered the amount of calories..
    (if you have questions, holler to me :)
    Good luck to all! :)

    can someone help me out??.... how do you post pictures on here??? (before/after picture)

    I did a search within the message board and figured it out. you have to create an accout with a photo site, I used photobucket. then you upload your pics and select the ones you want to use and it gives you options. Select post to blog or whatever it says. Highlight the links. Where it has before and after the links you need to change it to lower case. The pictures should show up after you post the link with the[img]corrected. Hopefully that makes some sense :)[/img]

    D2L1 done. Those side lunges are HARD. My legs felt like jello today, I still managed & feel much better now. I am sure tomorrow is gonna suck though.
    I bought 5 pound weights (2) and it really gives me a good workout, however, I feel the MFP calc for 20 minutes circuit is low... 193. For those with HRM, does that sound right? But I guess it is only 20 minutes. Who knows.

    I hear you about those side lunges. They burn, but that's a good thing, right? lol

    I also hear you re the MFP calculator being too low. My next "reward" when I hit my next goal is a HRM, so I'll know for sure then :)

    I finished L1D2 last night. I also threw in a 3 mile run just for fun. I'm hoping I can do this everyday.

    Happy Shredding.
  • So today my girls are both home sick and they "helped" me exercise. They laid on the couch and told me that my butt kicks weren't high enough and that I wasn't going deep enough on my lunges. My little one, who has a stronger core than most gym buffs I know, was doing the crunches right along with me, with almost perfect form.

    I didn't think I would like strength training but I really do! I definitely love the circuit training aspect of this - 3-2-1 - or however she does it.

    I feel like in a few more days, I'll be able to turn off the volume and bring in my own music. Right now, I still need her tips on form.

    How's everyone else doing?!!

    I think it's ok to jump to L2. I just did D3L1 and I feel the same as you - not being challenged enough. Today is my day off, but on Saturday, I'm going to jump to L2 and hope that Jillian doesn't kill me :)

    Happy Shredding everyone!
