AHHHHH! I haven't shredded since Friday. I definitely slacked off this weekend, and then woke up late this morning. It is back to being way too hot in the afternoons to even consider shredding unless it is first thing in the morning. I need some motivation to get my butt back in gear!!

L1D3 DONE! It is getting slightly easier. Is it just me or does Jillian's talking get annoying? I wanted to mute her this morning because I have done level 1 a total of 13 times since I got the DVD and know exactly when she is going to say each comment. I hope by the end of L1 I am able to do the push ups without resting,…

L1D2 finished! I couldn't even do the first two days without a break in between. I did D1 on Tuesday and D2 today. I still wish I hadn't stopped shredding back in March b/c I would have finished my 30 days already. The hardest part of L1 for me is the push ups (UGH) and the anterior raises at the end of circuit 3. I am…

Whoooo whee.... I had planned on doing L1D2 this morning after doing D1 yesterday. Definitely didn't happen!!! I am soooooooooo sore especally in my lower back and shoulders. I guess i lost the little progress I had made a few months ago when I quit shredding after D7 or so. I hope to get up early enough to do it tomorrow…

Did L1D1 this morning after taking two months off. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be after my long break, but I was still having to push through the push ups and the lateral raises (?? the last strength exercise)

Do you do any other cardio or workouts?

4 inches that's great!! I meant to start today, but accidentally turned off the dual alarm this morning when I turned off the earlier alarm for my boyfriend. Darn!! It hit 103 in VA, so I am definitely not motivated to do it this evening. Not to mention its storming and the power keeps flickering out.

I am a little late joining, but would like to join the group. I started the Shred back in March and made it through 10 days at Level 1 before having a bunch of intestinal problems. Needless to say I quit, so I'll have to start back at L1D1 all over again. What kind of results is everyone seeing so far? It hasn't quite been…

Just tagging, so I can read later.

Now my question is how much of my exercise calories do I eat? All of them? A percentage? I'm still confused.

I've been wondering how exercise calories work. I have saved and printed out the information, so I can read it tonight. It was far too long for me to be able to read on the computer. I have been very confused as to how many calories I am actually suppose to eat on days when I exercise. This should help!

Any other results anyone who was trying it?

I definitely didn't pass yesterdays challenge. Salt is what I crave!!! Forget sweets and chocolate- if I eat those, I still want something salty. Any healthy, salty snack ideas? I am very low maintenance (as in I don't cook), so something quick and easy if possible!

Is that an old photo? I agree that there is no way that photo can be over 200 or even over 150 like was said above. I was also confused. Is that a current picture??

What day is weigh-in again? Tuesday right?

I am definitely with you on that one Casi. I definitely fall off the wagon so to speak on weekends. I do like to have a couple of drinks on a Friday night and often go to happy hour which means I order something off the half price appetizer menu. I also have more time to work out as I have no other commitments for the…

O geez. I have enough stomach issues as it is. I probably should not try the acai one LOL

Was the HRM 300 calories higher than the machine? or vice versa?

That picture is great!! How long has the black team been the "black team?"

Will you let us know how it goes? I hope it works!

Let me know how that goes. I'm interesting to see if it makes a difference. It sounded good, but you never know?

I also definitely need some friends on here! I feel lonely.. LOL Add me too!

I like the mantra! Bob does know what he is talking about :-)

Challenge looks great.

Thank you ladies! Maybe it is just being bloated. I don't know it is just so frustrating when you gain weight back so quickly. I do realize it was just the holidays, but with the exception of 2 days I still ate healthy. I average about 1200-1300 calories a day. With exercise I am able to eat 1800. I drink about 64 oz of…

I am an obsessed "fan" of fitness games for the Wii. I have already bought (and some then sold) Wii Fit, EA Active, Daisy Fuentes Pilates, Fitness Coach, Wii Fit Plus, Jillian Michaels (the older version). At this point the only ones I still have in my possession are the pilates and the Wii Fit Plus. Fitness Coach was too…

I also would like to join this challenge. My starting weight is 128 which is high for me saying as I am only 5f2. I would like to get down to 110-115. I am starting to get in a rut with my gym routine and this low calorie eating. I get up most mornings at 5 and head to the gym before having a full day of teaching and then…

I have purchased both games as well as Jillian Michaels and the original Wii Fit. I would say Wii Fit Plus is the best out of the four. EA Active is a good work out, but I got tired of having to switch the nunchuck from the leg strap to my hand repeatedly. I ended up selling both Jillian Michaels and EA Active. I would…

I also was religiously using this site all summer and in September. I definitely starting slacking and stopped visiting the site altogether. It is amazing to think about what I have been eating the past month in comparison to when I tracked it all. UGH!!!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE it. It is absolutely amazing how successful they are. Although I am only 10 pounds or so overweight, it is excellent motivation watching their progress. Can't wait until the new season starts next week!
