L1D1 done! I taped the snot out of my ankle and went for it! I wanted to die, but feel great now. Day 2 tomorrow!

I'm going to try start this tonight. I sprained my ankle a few days ago, and am going crazy being sidelined. I'm going to tape it up really well, modify the jumping jacks, and see how it goes. I was SO motivated to finally start making changes, only to get injured :( I've done the 30 DS before, but never made it past day…

I'm in! I actually started it last week, did the Fit Test and the Day One workout, then threw my knee out snowboarding on Day Two. I'm taking a rest, then was planning to start again in a few days. Perfect timing!

"Do you know what you need?" "Something pink, a flasher, and a hoochie" ...texting my guy friend about fishing tackle. I was rather mortified when I realized just how my list sounded, and texted him an OMG, that sounds dirty. LOL I needn't have worried though, he sent back "slider weight. Goes well in there"

thanks for the feedback everyone! Today it wasn't as bad, so I guess it's something I just have to tough out!

I just finished Day 3, Level 1 (skipped yesterday, becasue I ran out of time - I did do 45 min on my trainer though, so I don't feel TOO guilty, LOL!). The first two day, I was doing the pushups gainst teh wall, because I just couldn't do more than 4 or 5 of the knee ones. Today I did 10 knee ones on the first go, and 8 on…

For me, I feel safer when I'm big. I waffle between a size 12-14 (currently 201 lbs), but I know that my healthy weight/size (factoring in muscle, because I have a fairly muscular build under my insulation) is a 8-9. I lost weight once before, and got down to 165, and felt really healthy. However, I felt really…

I'm starting tonight! I've got as far as Day 9 before, but then life got busy, and I didn't make it a priority. I'm promising myself that it will be different this time...maybe I'll do it every morning as soon as I get up, so I don't have a day's worth of "excuses" not to do it in the evening. :)

I've been following this thread since the beginning, and it's taken me this long to work up enough courage to post my June 1st pics (Warning - it aint pretty!) I didn't realize how THICK I look from the side until I took these pics :( Gulp....here goes:

I managed to stay on track calorie-wise today :D I've really benn struggling with that, so I feel great that I did it! Also got in a long ride yesterday and today (90 min each day, at 16mph) - I've got a ride I'm doing in August, so I really need to ramp up the training, just having trouble finding time :( But anyhow, I'm…

Can I join back in after a couple weeks of slipups? Pretty Please?

Thanks everyone! I made it out of the house this morning and did my C25K workout for the first time in three weeks :) I'm a single mom, so finding time to myself to exercise is a bit of a challenge!!

I'm in! May 16th - 191.4

I was also tracking my cals here, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with the weight loss. From what I've heard, people tend to lose inches instead of pounds on the Shred. I think when we couple it with healthy eating, it's a win win :happy: I did Level 2 last night, and it nearly killed me, I swear! Felt good after I picked…

I started it 12 days ago, but am only on Day 9 (missed one day for illness, and two others just because I needed a break). I would LOVE the support and motivation to get going again. Sunday and Monday were my "break" days, and I find I'm dragging myself to do it today :( But I got results, even in the 9 days I did do it -…

I'm in! My starting weight Sunday April 24th = 189.8 My weight on Saturday April 30th = Your total weight lost for this week =

I had an "off" day on Wed and Thurs, bot food and exercise wise, but jumped right back into it today. Did a 80 min bike ride, and completed day 9 of the 30 DS. I'm seeing result, which makes me feel great. I actually laughed at myself this morning, because I could SEE some muscle in my shoulders. It felt awesome! Oh, and I…

Thanks everyone. Just to be clear, I wasn't planning on going all out and exercising away those 1200 tomorrow. The cycling and the 30 DS are things I would be doing anyhow. I usually eat back my exercise cals, especially on days that I ride, so I waasn't sure if it would be okay to not do so this time. I went over…

I LOVE my road bike. I did a lot of mountain biking as a kid/teen, but then didn't get on a bike for years. I bought a road bike last summer, and fell in love my very first ride. Nothing has ever felt so freeing as a good long ride does. I'm a single mom to 3 kids under 7 yrs, and my time on my bike is the only "me" time I…

Thanks everyone! You've helped me rid myself of the guilt I was feeling at not doing it today, LOL. I did go for a 90 minute fast walk this morning, so it's not like I did nothing, right? I'm going to go soak in a hot bath with the great book I'm reading, and not feel a moment of regret then :D

Can i join you all? I'm pretty new here (3 weeks, but about 10 days of that was a write off due to a death in the family). I've only lost 3 lbs, but have been doing the 30 Day Shred (day 8 today!) and am seeing some results there. Would love some extra motivation :) Goals are in my siggy - really hoping to hit mini goal 1…

Thanks everyone! The waist measurement was at my belly button. Unfortunately, my post-3 babies muffin top is still the same size :p Belly button seemed like the best place to be able to repeatedly measure accurately though. I'm seeing quite a difference in the tone in my arms and thighs as well, which feels good. My calves…

Just finished. I went up to Level 2, becasue I thought some of my lack of enthusiasm might have been from boredom at ahving done the same thing the last four days...OMG I thought I was going to pass out a couple of times! I can see why people get real results with this! I made it through, but I'm wondering if I should go…

I'm on Day 6, but my resolve is waning, so I'll join you guys if that's okay! :) Starting weight: 195.8 I'll have to come back to add my measurements :) ETA: Starting Measurements: Neck - 13.5 Waist - 39.0 Hips - 45.0 Thighs - 28.0 Upper Arm - 12.0 Knee - 14.5

My starting weight Sunday April 17th = 192.4 My weight on Saturday April 23rd = My total weight lost for this week =

New here...can I still join? SW 198 GW 165 Thanks :)
