Good Morning everyone!:flowerforyou: I haven't been on the computer in a while, so I haven't been posting messages. I want to say, however, that I did complete the 30 Day Shred challenge.:drinker: So proud of myself for keeping that promise to me. So now what do I do? Well, I've decided to keep going with the Shred, but…

L3 D6 - only 4 more days til I've completed the 30 days straight.......of Jillian.....:drinker: Also, just got back from Zumba, LOVE IT!!!:love: :love: :love: :love:

Oopsie....I meant to type L3 D5. Darn typo's.

L2 D5 - DONE!!! :drinker: Only 5 more days to go.....I'm getting closer to that finish line. :bigsmile: Have a great day shredding everyone! Debbie :flowerforyou:

akos13 - You are VERY welcome!:flowerforyou: The first time around that I did the 30 day shred (yes this is the second time putting myself in front of Jillian). I lost 25 lbs. This time around I don't have as much weight to lose. I "fell off the wagon" a while back when dealing with a death and then a surgery. I stopped…

akos13 - Welcome to the 30 day shred! :flowerforyou: Not sure if I'm the Debbie you're referring to or not so I apologize if I am mistaken. :blushing: My advise to you is to PLAN AHEAD AND LOG into the food section of this site. This way you have a chance to alter or ax a food or drink that will put you over your totals…

Good morning fellow shredders, :flowerforyou: Oh my! I'm just (still) recovering from Level 3, Day 1! :frown: It's still a blur. I remember telling Jillian at one point that I hate her. :angry: I am soooo glad I don't have bad knees. Just beware everyone, Jillian kicks it (literally and figuratively) up another big notch.…

Yes, I agree, take Ibuprofen not Tylenol for inflammation. Good suggestion.:smile: Good morning shredders! :flowerforyou: I just finished L2 D 10!!! YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Uh oh.....Level 3 starts tomorrow. :noway: Well, Jillian is definitely doing "something" to me. This morning I easily got…

Good morning fellow shredders! :flowerforyou: Just finished L2 D9! :drinker: Yikes, tomorrow is my last day of Level 2 then it's on to level 3. It just CAN'T be any worse than all those plank moves.:huh: It will be a nice break to be finished doing planks EVERY DAY.:bigsmile: For some reason, I noticed this morning that I…

kristiek7 - Welcome to getting "shredded" by Jillian. :flowerforyou: Everyone has their own daily demands so you just need to figure out what type of routine works best for your lifestyle. Example: I set my alarm clock to get up earlier every morning :yawn: so that I can get it over and done with every day, before the…

Level 2, Day 7 - D. O. N. E. - DONE!! :drinker: Wow, I have to say that Circuit 3 of Level 2 is KILLER! :explode: Those overhead military presses, squatting V raises and plank jacks are what really make my "eyeballs sweats"!:cry: Well, only 3 more days of planks to go.:wink: Have a super day shredding everyone! Just push…

angelsandwolves - I laughed when I read that "even my eyeballs are sweating!!" :laugh: LOL, I can totally relate to that. I am not a "sweaty" person by nature, thank goodness. However, Level 2, doing all those planks moves, has the sweat running down my forehead and into my eyes. Making ts seem like my eyeballs are…

L2 D5 done. :drinker: It's a lot harder than level, 1 that is for sure! But, so far, I am doing it although when I get to the 2nd set of moves like the "Military overhead presses" and the "squatting anterior raises", yikes! My muscles are burning!!:mad: Having said all that, I am really happy knowing that I am half way…

bfingmom - You are definitely getting into shape. The fact that you can now do the stairs without being out of breath and panting is your indicator that you are on your way to being a healthier you. :bigsmile: Jillian is doing what she promised - delivering results! Keep up the great work!:flowerforyou: Well, I did my…

L2 D3 done this morning. :drinker: I have my set time in the a.m. to do this.:yawn: I moaned and groaned as I got off facebook :laugh: to go get changed for working out. :grumble: I must say, after I finish the workout, my muscles are BURNING! But I know that it's a good burn and that Jillian is delivering those results.…

Celesalk - Good for you for pushing through and using great modification moves. You're an inspiration to any others with physical limitations due to surgeries etc.:flowerforyou: Well, I just finished L2 D2!:drinker: Jillian says "I want to hear your heart gurgling in your throat!". Oh...what's that I hear? Oh, it's MY…

Hello Shredders :happy: celesalk - Really sorry to hear about your surgeries. :cry: That`s too bad. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is doing a static plank pose. Apparently Brad Pitt :love: does this move all the time to keep his luscious abs in shape. :blushing: Go into the plank position but instead…

Hello Shredders! Well I finished L1 D10!!! :drinker: Tomorrow will be L2 D1 :wink: Looking back now, it feels like the past 10 days just raced by. Hopefully that's what I'll be saying come L2 D10. :huh: So, today was my "treat myself to something that makes me feel pretty" reward day. :blushing: On my last weigh in day I…

Did L1, D9 today.:drinker: Then, I put my ipod on and did a lot of housework. I made sure to wear my HRM (heart rate monitor) so I was able to log some pretty sweet numbers into my exercise log. :love: I am definitely feeling stronger and WOW I can already feel that I have so much more energy. :bigsmile: When you don't…

linzbclark - DEFINITELY worth the purchase! If you haven't tried it yet but need to loose some weight then I highly recommend buying the dvd. If you're familiar with Jillian Michael's then you already know that she delivers when it comes to getting in shape. Good luck with what ever choice you make as long as you simply…

Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou: Just finished L1, D8. Wow, I can't believe that I've been doing this steady for 8 days now. :bigsmile: I noticed yesterday and today that my strength is much better. Up until then while doing the 2nd set of anterior raises, I was slowing down a bit and Anita and Natalie were getting a…

Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou: Well, this morning was my first weigh in since starting the Shred Jan 2nd.:ohwell: I am PUMPED!:drinker: I braced myself that I may not have lost any weight yet. :blushing: I slowly stepped on my scale:ohwell: Watched the digital numbers as my weight was being calculated:huh: Then I…

Good morning fellow shredders!:happy: Just finished Day 6, Level 1. Whew!!:bigsmile: I'm really excited. Today is "casual friday" at work which means I get to where jeans to work today. So, I put my jeans on this morning, not having worn them since last week. I did them up......easily!!! :bigsmile: Wow! My belly isn't…

[/quote] Thanks to both of ya'll!! I managed to finish Level 1 Day 2 and I can already notice my endurance growing!! I can't seem to get the push ups though....is there another exercise i can do that is similar? And it's not that i can't do them because they are hard...just that i can't do them right!! Does anyone have any…

Hello angelsand wolves and WELCOME to the 30 Day Shred.:flowerforyou: First off, I must say that there is no such thing as a "dumb question". This is an open, non judgment site. We are all in the same boat together and going through similar challenges. If you're asking it's because you're curious and once you gather more…

I have wanted sooooo badly to eat some chocolate tonight :sad: but I don't have enough calories left for today for a little indulgence. Ahhh!!:angry: So this is what I did instead::ohwell: I read the label on my Christmas Lindor chocolate balls :grumble: , then I read the label on my huge Toblerone chocolate bar,:grumble:…

traceyalicia - Sounds like you're well on your way to "being shredded".:bigsmile: I also get my workout done in the morning. I set my alarm clock to get up earlier. Because the rest of the world is still fast asleep, I have NO EXCUSES. :noway: This is my scheduled appointment time with Jillian. After my workout, I hit the…

rachel122986 - LOL! You might not want to be in a big hurry to get out of level 1:noway: , level 2 is worse, then.....there's level 3 to deal with.:huh: Good luck! :flowerforyou: Debbie

Day 3, level 1 - done. delfin90 - regarding your cramped leg muscle. It could be an injury in which cause you do have to exercise caution. However, if it is simply cramping that may be a sign that you are dehydrated and need to up your water intake. Muscles will cramp if you are dehydrated, so just be aware of that…

k2d4p: I used to be exactly like you, a 2% milk or go home kind of girl:drinker: . I have been successfully drinking skim milk for years now. It did take time to switch to where I am today. First, I switched from 2% to 1% and I stayed drinking that for a long time until I was completely used to 1%. Then, I switched to skim…
