The fact that you have fibro, made me answer this post. I have been there, done that and am out of the other side! it took me about 7 years altogether from the start of being poorly to dealing with it and finding my way back to 'normality'. I could do a 1-2-3 of what I do now but I no longer suffer from Fibromyalgia , so…

As each persons cal burn would be diferent depending on height/weight, how does this compare with the figure that MFP says it'd be for you if you logged it as circuit training? I'm interested to know if theres much difference... thanx

Most peeps log it as circuit training but I log mine as aerobics general, as I like to underestimate the cals burnt on MFP just in case theyre not right as I eat all my exercise cals back and dont want to overeat uneccessarily. The only truly accurate way to record them is if you got yourself a Heart Rate Monitor. Good…

HI, I've just started level 3 of the shred. I started it on 1st October so yep, you can say I definitley haven't done it everyday LOL but I also play golf a couple of times a week and have a rest day or two too. It was the first time I'd done any aerobic excercise ever but Ive been able to keep up with it OK, altho the…

HI, I'm sure others will offer great suggestions too, but I found that most of the 4" I have lost from my waistline in the last 2 months was mostly by doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD!! it serious tones you up if you stick at it. Give it a go, you'll be amazed! x

I can agree & disagree with this as Ive been diabetic all my life and can kinda judge how intense an excercise has been by the effect it has on my blood sugars post excercise. I find the weeks that I have mostly done 25 min aerobic excercising such as the 30 Day Shred dvd make me lose more weight than the weeks when I have…

I was feeling like throwing myself a bit of pity party after stepping on the scales this morning, but you're right... it's about so much more than that!!! thankyou :D x

There's a saying... " if you cant love me at my worst, you sure don't deserve me at my best" it sounds like your guy is a bully, this is how controlled abuse starts. (I know, I've been there,done that and survived it) Put your foot down NOW , do the weight loss because YOU want to and how you choose works for you and…

I've just done a side by side view of my 30DS before/after pics (pics in our photobucket file) and am quite motivated at my progress despite only getting to L2D4 by the end of the 30 days... my target for this month is to get to the end of L3 and complete the task I started !!! Stats: total weight loss this month = - 6lbs…

I had this dilemma and asked my curry house which ones were the lower calorie/fat options, and they advised choosing dishes not made with ghee. I always opt for sharing a chicken tikka biryani nowadays, although even the healthier option with half a naan still breaks my calorie bank coming in at just over 1100 cals and…

I ache this morning so will be doing D4L2 after my coffee has kicked in LOL Im so behind most of you that trying to decide what Im going to do after Ive done all of it seems miles away! but even though I curse at the dvd while its on, I think I'll miss it when its finished and will probly do it again... although next time…

Really pleased with myself that I completed level 2 without pain today :D looks like I am back with the programme LOL L2D3 done!

I posted this on Meghans wallpost, but it might get a better esponse here? I didnt shred yesterday as I overdid it at the weekend playing golf so had a rest day. Tried L2 this morning and it just KILLED my shoulders so I wimped out and 'just' did L1 again instead. Do you think I should do L3 or keep trying at L2 despite…

I am so glad LilMissFoodie has the sense to tell you NOT to follow such advice!! he may have meant well, but I assume 'kouzzzz' has no understanding of diabetes or wouldnt have suggested such a thing. I am a diabetic, have been since I was 15 so know only too well that diabetic control can be difficult at the best of…

I am SO behind all of you!!! but I finally managed to get started on level 2 today - D1 L2 done, and doesnt it just get you in the shoulders...ouch!!! I hope I can still manage to lift my golf clubs tomorrow as I have a competition to play... at least I shall have a good excuse if I lose LOL

I think I have just finished level 1 ! :D ....eventually! (only 9 days late) LOL sickness and golfing sorta stopped me shredding more than I realised they did... oops am dreading moving onto level 2 but am gonna stick with it , and try to be a bit more consistant... if you lot can do it so can I !!! My measurements arent…

I'M BACK!!! I had 3 days off from shredding and my back definitely felt stronger from having a rest, so I think in future I shall do it for maybe 5 days , break for 2 and continue? I play golf a couple of times of week so might skip the shred on my golfing days instead? its a shame some peeps have had to drop out of the…

DON'T give up!! just start again! take it gently, dont over do it and don't feel guilty if you have to restart it a 100 times... its an excercise video and doing it once is better than never having done it at all. why do I say this??? well... I was exhausted and very achey last night but persevered and did the shred, but…

I thought the other thread had gone quiet... here you all are! I'm dreading starting level2 now I've heard all your tales.. level 1 is bad enough !!! I was really feeling it in my lower back and knees yesterday so will probly leave todays shred until much, much later. I tore a muscle in my hip/bum last year and dont want…

D6?L1 done.... but I REALLY didnt want to do it today cos I ached , but got an amazing motivational kick after I weighed myself and discovered I'd hit my first goal!... after losing 2.5 lbs this week, I am now official only 'overweight' and no longer 'obese' on my BMI :D

LOL I've wondered the same thing!! it certainly doesnt sound a healthy amount for anyone to lose in just 30 days unless it's the person who was 400lbs she sarcasticallly informs us can do the jumping jacks? (so , so can we!)

I'm on the same day as you so we can be slackers together! LOL I had never excercised like this before starting this challenge so am not gonna beat myself up about it too much. I am getting fitter and stronger day by day and thats what matters to me the most. Losing weight /inches will be great , but its just the bonus to…

I'd like a definitive answer on this too. I log my 30DS as 'Aerobics, general' ... it'sless calories used than 'circuit training' but I'd rather under-estimate than over-estimate how many calories I've actually burned.

Ok , so I woke up feeling a bit more human again so am back with the programme... YAY!!! a word of caution to all... 3 days of not excercising and then going back to the shred is as bad as doing day 1 all over again!!! the star jumps are killing me and even though I have upgraded my baked bean cans to 1kg weights, my arms…

Mmmmm these sound yummy!!! I may have to try these :D thanx for sharing the recipe x

I'm happy to help you out too if you still need peeps x

So this is where you're all yabbing now! I thought the other thread had gone a bit quiet LOL I started doing the 30DS at the weekend, played golf & all was going well but today i've gone downhill and am feeling really poorly :(( so instead of getting fit & healthy as planned it seems my body has plans for a couple of duvet…

its nearly 10:30pm and I'm admitting semi defeat as I havnt done my shred today :(( not through pain from doing the shred but I'm just feeling really poorly today and am gonna take a few days out and then jump back in and restart my shred when I'm feeling better. Good luck to you all... oh & please feel free to 'punch'…

I am so behind with this thread! Saturday Day 1, I only managed half of level 1 yesterday I chickened out cos I had to play golf with hubbs, so did excercise, but no shred, Day 2 happened on Day3 .... confused... yep! ... so Day 2 Level 1 for me was today and although I got further than last time I still failed to complete…
