Today was day 6 for me after two days off. I think it would have been a great work out, I wasn't sore and have built a little endurance, but for some reason my mid back was really hurting for the the cardio, the impact I guess? I was really fearing injury so I only did it to the point where it did not hurt. And because I…

What great results! So glad you are starting it again too, that is very encouraging. How bad can it be if you are willing to go back for more right? ;)

Great job!! Stories like yours are why I am on day 4 of The Shred right now! :) Thanks for posting!

Nothing yet, but I know it's coming. It's 4pm, Friday, and I have 1300 calories left! What to have, what to have?! :)

Here is a thread with lots of thoughts on the subject! :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/700505-rest-days-with-30-day-shred

I totally understand what you are saying, and this is a huge fear of mine! No worries about unsolicited advice! We are all here to help and encourage each other! This is why I think I will do the hike so that every day so I am doing something, not really stopping just changing. I have two hours to myself every morning…

I am just doing 30DS because I don't usually exercise at all so this is a big deal for me. I am planning to take saturday and sunday off each week, and I hope if the weather permits I can at least get a good walk/hike in those days.

I did day 4 today. For the first time I can honestly say "that wasn't so bad". I was less sore last night before bed, and this morning too. For me day 4 was finally the day that was in the right direction towards better. I am still sore, and it was still hard. But today was better. :)

I just joined this group, a bunch of people starting The Shred tomorrow but they are ok with you having already started recently. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/12548-30-day-shred-starting-march-1st I am buying a heart rate monitor so I can better know how many calories I am burning and can eat back!

here is a link to you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8&list=PLC3DC474B4B436F06&index=1

I've heard it's on you tube, but don't have a link, hopefully some one can post one. It's hard, but you can just do the best you can! You have to start some where! They do have a person to follow who does modified versions of some of the things to make it not so hard.

Hi! I did day 3 today, just started on Tuesday, excited to join the group!

How is it going on being a little further along at day 7? I did day 3 today and it was ever bit as hard or harder than the 1st two days. I am hoping at some point I am going to handle it a little better! Like break through the initial torture from being out of shape and fairly inactive. I think I may have been able to push…

Me too. I try to look at it like "I can do anything for 20 minutes". That does not mean it's not hard, but it's such a short amount of time. I'd rather work my butt off for 20 minutes than do something mediocre for longer. It really appealed to me because I was seeing some amazing results posted here and people were…

Me too! I am SO SORE tonight!

I lost mine calorie shifting. Very basically I took the number of calories per day for weight loss and instead of looking at consuming them each day, I look at the number over the week, and use more calories on some days and less on others. I eat 3 "low days", 3 "up days", and 1 way up day or cheat day each week. I don't…

Ok, done with day 2. I think it felt harder and I was more tired. BUT, it went by a lot faster because I knew what to expect. You know how when you drive some where new it feels like it takes so long to get there and then when you drive home it does not seem to take as long. I feel like this was like that. The first time,…

Today is day 2 for me. I am really nervous it's going to hurt like hell. I am very sore. My son climbed on my lap and every thing hurt! I am really sore on my sides, like chest level. I don't know if I have ever been sore there! I took some motrin this am with breakfast, I hope that helps a little by the time I do the…

This was something I really have had to learn too, and I still don't get it right all the time. Just because I decide I'm going to have pizza I can't count for dinner with the family, doesn't mean I can then go and eat whatever else I want for the rest of the night and do way more damage ya know? Just because I "messed…

You're a rockstar! I love this!

It's probably all in my head, but I am so hungry after doing that video this morning!

Today was my first day. I logged it as 6 minutes of vigorous jumping jacks for the 6 minutes of cardio, (even though it's not all jumping jacks, it's similar) and then 14 minutes of the general circuit training like suggested. I am looking into getting a heart rate monitor though.

Great job! Are you planning to do it every day without breaks? I am just wondering about rest days. Were your 3 days in a row? I truly feel right now like there is going to be no way I am going to be able to do it again tomorrow. The soreness began immediately. My arms were shaking to wash my hair in the shower after!

Ok, I did it. Whoa I am out of shape! But, I did finish. There were a few times I didn't quite push through to the end of the set, but I know that will get better. I'm questioning what is going to get me to do again tomorrow though. LOL

Mine got here yesterday so I am starting today!

I stopped eating after 6pm for several weeks a while back and it did not seem to make any difference for me, so I went back to not trying to do that. I still don't eat any later than 8 most nights. I usually stop between 6 and 8 depending on where I am with having calories left. What I did learn was that if I run out of…

I lost 75lbs calorie cycling, and have maintained for a year basically doing the same thing with higher numbers. It definitely worked for me with little to no exercise as well. I am now in a position where I need to do some toning, but am going to start the 30 day shred as soon as it comes in the mail to work on that and…

I was hoping to start tomorrow, but it didn't come in the mail yesterday like it was supposed to. (I know you can get it on youtube, but I just don't see myself being able to coordinate and feel confident with it on the little screen. Maybe it's just an excuse, I don't know!) I hope it arrives tomorrow. Thank you so much…

I couldn't stay off the scale and it was messing with my head! This weekend it went to stay with grandma for a while. If it's not in the house, I can't stand on it! I will get it back in a bit, but for now I had to force a break!
