1/2 way done level 2
this one is taking me way longer than level 1 LOL0 -
WOW WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE misty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What awesome measurements & congrats on getting into the 140s ( a dream of mine :laugh: ) But I'll have to pay more attention to what I eat & drink for that to happen. Because it's my TOM I'm going to wait until next week to weigh myself.
I find level 2 tougher than level 1 & like I said I have to take a break during the last set of weight exercises. But at least I'm able to get through the workout & it's not like I'm discouraged and want to stop.
So speaking of stopping, I am going away next Wednesday on holiday and won't have enough time to get to day 30 before then. :grumble:0 -
HELP!!!
Ladies, I am ready to quit. I am up 2 pounds this week.
How is this possible? I've eaten my calories, done the Shred eveyday, plus other cardio.
I want to quit - this is SO frustrating!!!
Anyone else have a slow start like this?
:ohwell:

BIG congrats to Misty and all of us for sticking with this!

So I'm not a part of this group, but I was just checking this out to see if this is working for you guys. I've been doing the 30 Day Shred on my own. I just wanted to say that the first week I did it I was up 3 pounds while sticking to a 1400 cal diet, a personal trainer I spoke to told me not to get discouraged, it is most likely that you have gained muscle because of the intensity of the work out. I soo felt like quitting too, but don't do it, keep with it and I'm told you will see some great results.
Do you feel stronger? I know I do, and feel my muscles getting firmer. Stick with it Betty!! You can do it!
Good luck :flowerforyou:0 -

Thank you for this message - you really do make me feel better - I like to know that someone else has had this same experience! I WILL stick with it - as my hubby says, I FEEL better, and my quality of life is better, so regardless of what the scale says, it is doing me good!
I do feel stronger! I felt stronger almost immediately, so I am going to stick with it.
Thanks again and good luck to you! You should join the group and update us on your Shredding Progress!!!

Betty,
I did a you tube search on the 30 day shred to preview it before I started. There were also posts there from people who were doing the shred. A lot of them said they gained a few pounds even though they were losing inches. Like jb_sweet_99 said, I too think it must be muscle weight because of the intensity of the exercises.
I'm trying not to weigh myself until I'm done so I don't get discouraged. Also my eating hasn't been the greatest lately either and I have a history of stopping exercising if I see the scale go up...not the smartest thing to do I know but at least I'm slowly starting to change my old habits.
Get out your measuring tape because that will encourage you to continue. I haven't seen the fantastic results misty has but I am down inches. And I'm glad misty is having such good results because it will encourage me to do the shred again & again rather than this be a one time thing.
Oh and Day 7 of level 2 done :bigsmile:0 -
Hey Betty!
stick with it! My scale "just* started going down, for me, I actually started eating more than my alloted calories a few times a week. seems to be working for me but like you I gained in the beginning even the first week when I lost over 10 inches I gained something like 3 lbs. I'm using the measuring tape and my mirror as a guide. My legs are much more firm especially my calves 0 -

I'm sooo glad this helped, and that you are feeling stronger!! I too needed the encouragement to move on with it, luckily I have a great cousin and we help eachother stay motivated. I could join the group and do it with you guys, I will be going on to day 5 tomorrow (today is my day off to do the Wii Fit instead). I'll post my measurements when I get home tonight, thanks for the invite!!

THANK YOU ladies! You've made me feel GREAT about this, and that I am not alone. It is still REALLY frustrating though!!!
Congrats to all of you for sticking it out, and doing so well - you all inspire me!
My waist is down from 31 to 28.5 in 3 weeks...
My hips/bum is down from 42.5 to 40.5 in 3 weeks....
So I can't complain!
If I move at this pace, I will reach my goal of 36-26-36 by September!
That's my goal!
Let's have a great week!

day 7 of level 2 done
I think that it's too much jumping for me, my ankles are really really sore0 -

Yeah Misty, I wanted to ask you guys about that.... my left foot feels like there is a bit of bone pain when I am working out! I have new-ish Nike runners, so I don't think that is the issue.
It must be a lot for our joints with all the jumping day after day!
What do you think?
:ohwell:0 -
I've been taking it much easier with level 2 because of all the jumping, I've been doing a lot of the exercises modified (following anita if they are high impact) my ankles just can't take it, maybe as I get stronger......
does anyone know if level 3 has as much jumping around? I haven't watched it yet0 -
I haven't watched level 3 yet so I'm not sure how much jumping there is.
I'm finding the arm exercises worse than the jumping.
I think my weights are a tad too heavy for me so I have to follow Anita for some of them.
I started in January doing work out dvds so I must have slowly built up some stamina for the jumping.0 -
summer really sucks, and I haven' had much time to get exercise in (though i've been having a ton of fun)
jus waned to bump this to see how everyone else is doing?0 -
I hear ya about summer, too much to do and its hard to try to squeeze it in! I had a migraine last night (again!) and had to take the day off. I'm going to try to get it in today! Good luck over the weekend everyone! :bigsmile:0

Hey Ladies! I'm hanging in - but I am still at Level 1! I have been doing it as part of my workout routine, usually with additional running, so I have not gotten around to learning a new one. Today is the day!
Good luck to everyone!

I started it yesterday. I did it yesterday and today. I have been going to the gym nearly every day since Feb. and this workout whopped my butt. My legs were so sore today. I have trouble with jumping things but am getting better. I plan to continue as long as possilble.0

Congrats for starting! Remember you can always substitute the stationary punches for anything with jumping - it drives the heart up just as well, if not better than the jumping jacks!
Believe it or not, in a week or two of doing it everyday it almost gets easy! I could barely finish some of the upper body stuff when I first started, and now it is almost easy!
Let us know how you progress!

Hi, I hope everyone is having a good weekend. :flowerforyou:
I took 3 days off from the shred :noway: My back was KILLING me it was so sore. :sad: I think it was a combination of things: my weights were too heavy & I think my back was taking some of the stress, it was my TOM and lots of stress at home. :grumble:
Anyways...I lightened my weights to 1.5 L water bottles. I just weighed them and they are 3.5 lbs.
So Day 9 of level 2 is done.
I'm very proud that some of my habits are slowing changing. I know the old me would have just given up doing the shred altogether because I was so discouraged and not tried to find a way to make it work. I have to thank mu hubby too for encouraging me to work out...sometimes it nice having a little positive encouragement for someone else. :bigsmile:0 -

Congrats WantToBe!!!! That is amazing - and love that your hubby is supportive.
My hubby has been awesome too - and reading your mail has prompted me to thank him! He spends a lot of time alone with the kids while I am off running, working out, or off at the gym. But hey, we all benefit from this journey, right! :happy:
Have a great week everyone!
Btw... does the sweat just DRIP off you!? I literally have it running down my nose! Sorry, is that a TMI.... :blushing:0 -
Where's Misty? And MrsKelly? Others?

I'm here! I've been off the wagon this week, but I'm hopping back on today could be ineresting :P 0

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I don't think I ever sweated so much!!!!
I'm off to visit my family on Wednesday. Besides one of my sisters I haven't seem them in a year. :noway:
Needless to say things have been crazy: packing, tidying up, making arrangements...the list goes on & on. So I won't be able to go on to level 3 of the shred. :grumble: My mom doesn't have a computer but I'll see if I can check in to see how you guys are doing. Good Luck !!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
Oh & I just have to rant....The most horrible thing is that I went for a lovely boat ride with my hubby yesterday. The weather was overcast & I didn't wear any sunscreen. What a mistake. :noway: My face & neck are as red as a lobster & it is so sore :sad: :sad: :sad: I've been coating myself with aftersun and drinking a ton of water to see if I can hydrate my skin, if only a little. :blushing::blushing::blushing: That's me red red red. :laugh:0 -
back on the wagon. My ankles are soooo sore, I think I'm going to alternate between all three levels so that I'm not doing the same exercises everyday, maybe that will be easier on my joints0
