I am starting this dvd on April 1 with the Jillian Michals challenge at dietbet.com.

I have only 8 days left of level 3 too! I am also going to try Ripped in 30 after this one. Buying it is going to be my reward for finishing the shred! I don't know if I'll get to do it tomorrow. My 2 year old is getting tubes in his ears. Depending on the day we have, there may be no "me time" with Jillian! So glad for…

Day 19 done.... I am SO glad we only have 2 days of level 2 left! I have done the shred before though and I remember the plyometrics in level 3 kick my butt, but I'm also so over level 2! Planked out!

Well I did Level 2 twice today, once this morning and once just now, to catch up from being gone. Excited to see results on day 30! Glad for everyone who is working hard, no matter what level or what day! Keep it up!

Sorry I was M.I.A. for a few days. We had some family time and we unplugged. I'm still trucking away with our challenge:) Glad to see the regulars are still checking in!

Day 12 done! I agree it is a lot of shoulders especially! Also so many plank moves... I would love if those were spread out over the three levels instead of all of them in level 2!

Cgirly, logging onto this board is keeping me going! At some point in the day I think "I don't want to do the Shred." But then I think how I couldn't log on here and share the experience with everyone... Definitely keeping me accountable! I think I'm doing the plank twists wrong bc they don't seem "killer" even though she…

Day 10 done! Ready for Level 2 tomorrow. Way to go everyone with working on doing your best with each move! I've started to tune out too. I might be "phoning it in" when I do that and we know Jillian doesn't want that! HA!

Day 9 done! I don't know if I want to weigh or measure tomorrow or wait... I'm nervous I will feel discouraged if the results aren't there.

Day 8 done! I would love to have Jillian in my living room. We're the same height and I think it would be crazy to meet her eye to eye! I've heard Insanity is awesome. Great to make plans for after the shred. I'm thinking of doing either Jillian's 6 week 6 pack or 30 days ripped.

Day 7 done! Weighing and taking measurements on Wednesday is a good idea. I think I will too to check in for how things are after each level.

Day 6 done! I love Groundhog's Day. Bill Murray cracks me up! Another oldie but good from him is What About Bob?! They talk about baby steps in that movie and I always think that's what my path to a healthy lifestyle is: baby steps. :) Keep up the good work Shredders!

Day five done! Halfway through level one! YAY! I'm really trying to work on my form with every move so I get the most for my 20 minutes of intensity! :)

Day 4 done! Played music instead of listening to Jillian's comments. That worked pretty well except during push-ups when I can't hear the cue to move on and I'm not looking at the screen. I was thinking how we'll be halfway done with level 1 tomorrow too! YAY!

Finish line(Week 12): Weight goal: Lose 12 lbs Exercise goal: Complete 30 Day Shred and start 6 week 6 pack Nutrition goal: Eat at or under MFP calories allowed . Other: Fit in my summer goal outfits Week 1: Weight goal: Lose 1 lb Nutrition goal: Don't drink pop every day... cutting back!

Day 3 Done! I think I'm going to try 5 lbs for everything except those lateral raises with the side lunge. I think I've memorized everything she says! All those little comments like "They don't even cheat when I'm up here not looking."

I would encourage you to try level 2. I've done the shred before and each level is harder, but there is the modified version on each level. You could finish it up and go back to the beginning and try all the levels without modification then. Just a thought.

Day 2 Done! I'm thinking of upping my weights. I know she says 3 lbs weights are all you need, but I'm not struggling to lift them. My arms are only sore from the push ups! :)

Day 1 done! :)

161.8 this morning

Hello! I joined MFP awhile ago and was tracking well in the winter but fell off the wagon in the spring. i'm looking for a group to help me with accountability! Excited to support each other toward a healthy life!

Hi all! :) Starting weight is 163.

Feel free to add me! I am 5'3" (rounding up!) and working toward a weight of 140. I've lost and kept off 30 lbs since having my last son, but I'd really like to be back at my wedding weight! I run three-four times a week and love Jillian Michaels dvds. Happy to support others!

Way to go!

Way to go!!

I'm in!

I'm in! Found this group today because I'm tired of fighting the binge alone! February 2013: Me: 3 the binge: 1

I'm in!!!

Hello All! I'm Ali and still trying to lose after having my two sons. I'm at my pre-baby weight, but that's still overweight! Glad to support others and get support!

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Lots of good ideas!!! No, my trainer is not a nutritionist or a registered dietitian. It's part of a 6 week boot-camp-type program. We have a different nutrition focus each week and this low carb one threw me for a loop b/c we are still supposed to get 25 g of fiber/day. Thanks again:)
