November Shred-It Challenge Day 3

My goal is to be down in the 150s again...on my way to 130. Just had to get a hold of myself. I was approaching 170 which is my highest weight to date. Good luck with your weight loss efforts. I'm trying to stay at 1200 calories/day and 32 minutes of vigorous elliptical machine workout at night. Trying to keep that inner motivation, that ironness of will. Once the momentum of weight loss starts then the effort becomes easier. You're in a groove and only need to focus.

My goal is to just make it through the 30 days without taking too many rest days!! I'm hoping as it goes along that I won't be as sore everyday....The inches that come off will be interesting too! I just hope I have as good of results as everyone else seems to have with this program!!

Goodluck everyone!

This challenge is combined with another challenge I have set for myself and my goal is to get to 160 lbs. My other challenge is to burn 1000 calories a day for 5-6 days a week for the month of November. My final goal is to get to and maintain 130 lbs, this will come with time and perserverance.

Since this is my second time through the 30DS, I know how it feels when you DO it and you DON'T do it. The Shred is great for losing inches for sure.

Have fun and stay strong. YOU can do it. Just Shred It!

I'm kind of thinking I might gain weight, but if I lose the inches I want (hips and thighs) and tone up my stomach more then I will be happy. I've tried to incorporate a run as well, so hopefully I don't just gain muscle. I'd like to be 125 by the end, but seeing as though the lowest I have EVER been is 128, and that was on supplements that helped me burn more and eat less, I'm not getting my hopes up.

I am going home in 2 weeks and staying for an entire week, so I will be happy if I can accomplish this with my full week of travel.

Oh yeah, and I bought a pair of jeans that don't appear to fit right now. It would be great if they did after this, lol.

Just finished today's workout! Yay! Very happy. Hmmm... goals.. where to begin. I have so many, but I'm trying not to be overly ambitious.
1. Do all 30 days (already missed yesterday, but learned my lesson about timing and not letting my family hijack my plans)
2. Faithfully record my food - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
3. Would really like to lose 9 pounds this month. This would bring me to 220 and hopefully motivate me to get to 199 by my birthday in Jan.

Of course, I would be thrilled to see measurements go down and have clothes fit more nicely at the end of the month.

I really enjoy this workout (so far).

I want to start adding in some walking as well. Does anyone know if it would be better to do the cardio first then the shred or vice vera?

Good Job Ladies!!! Doesnt it feel so good afterwards to know you did another tough day!?

I just woke up and have yet to do my Day 3, (still sitting here drinking coffee), butyea, Im still as sore as yesterday, but I also added 30 mins of steps to my workout day yesterday. I always feel like I need to add extras in there! I feel doing this alone isnt going to be enough...I might go for a jog/walk today...we'll see haha

My goals for completing this month of 30DS, would be to lose weight, even just 4 lbs would make me happy again, I would know Im at least getting somewhere again. Also I just want to fit my clothes better! Last week I got into my only good pair of jeans, and they ripped in the inner thigh!!!!
So I too want to buy myself a new great pair of jeans soon, but not at the end of this month, I still have a way to go before I want to spend that money! So Inches!!! I need to lose some. I think back to a couple months ago and I was the thinnest I had been in years and I was so happy because I felt so great. I could almost wear anything and wasnt afraid to be naked in front of my bf, but now, I just want to hide and clothes make me grouchy cause they all fit so gross, and I know it looks gross too!

Are you guys noticing a difference in your body yet? (other than the soreness!)
Im feeling tighter. I'm not yet, but I feel it in my mind haha, so its at least motivating me to keep going

Parent-teacher conference this morning threw off my usual workout routine...now have to do mine this evening (which, btw I LOATHE working out in the evenings). Im down 2.5 lbs on the scale today which shocked the hell outta me!! Its my TOM, so I usually retain lots of water...hoping to see more lbs down when I check back this weekend!!

Is everyone super duper sore today??? Day 3 was pretty bad for me. I felt so much better yesterday and even better today! Although my arms are still pretty sore!

^^^ YAY good for you! And yes, very sore today. Im on day 3. My arms are not as sore as they were on day 2, but my thighs burn alot more!

Keep it up ladies!!! WE CAN DO THIS!

I just completed L1D2 and this thing is kicking my butt. Today I used two 5 lbs weights and wasn't able to do the workout 100% as I wished. Hopefully it'll get easier. I did sweat a lot so I must have burned something! Looking forward to completing this and seeing my 'after' pictures.

I could never attempt this with 5lb weights right now. I am only use 2lb weights and even that is tough. I also have worked out with weights in 10ys so maybe thats why. Good luck

My day 3 is done. Pretty though as I am so sore and so shakey!
Im going to have to try to squeeze it in tomorrow morning before I leave...then Im not going to be abel to do it on saturday...maybe I will have to do it twice on sunday

Oh my! I am so scatterbrained! Where do I find the levels? Is this a specific workout? Thank you so much!!!
