Just saw this post today - I actually woke up this morning and "Shredded" at level 2 (I did Level 1 over the weekend). I will probably bounce around on the levels so I don't get bored. I also do Zumba on Monday and Thursday evenings to "supplement". YAY!!! I participated in a 30 day Shred challenge last year on MFP and…

I would LOVE to join this challenge!!!! I did a 30 Day Shred challenge during the month of September and it was AWESOME!!!!! I went down a pant size and felt "in shape" for the first time in a long time!! Since then I have not been shredding and I can really tell and now I'm ready to get back into it!! I was going to start…

My final results ...... I lost 2.5 pounds (137.0 to 134.5) and I lost 1.25 inches (measuring bust, at belly button, 2 inches below belly button and 6 inches below belly button which is my hips). I definitely notice a difference in muscle tone. I may be a few days late in joining the October Personal Challenge but I will…

I am still here. I will weigh in again on Tuesday and let you know the final results of my Shredding process!! Good job to everyone that stuck it through ..... can't wait to see the next challenge!!

I am back!!! My knee is feeling MUCH better - I rested it for 2 days - ice and Aleve. It was weird though - I felt soooo guilty about not doing the Shred!! I did do pilates those two days which definitely does not burn as many calories and since I am addicted to weighing myself I was up a pound this morning. I did do Level…

Thanks for the concern, alf!! I stopped by the PT clinic (where I work) - she thinks that it is a tendonitis of the quadriceps muscle where it attaches to the tibia. It is tender to touch and hurts when bending it and when straightening it but once I'm to the full motion it's fine (just the movement is when it hurts).…

I weighed in this morning ..... same as last week ...... 135. I also woke up with some MAJOR knee pain!!!! :grumble: I did level 2 yesterday - my knee was sore during it but it didn't hurt ..... and then this morning ..... WOW!!! So I put an ice pack on it for 15 minutes, I will take some Aleve when I eat breakfast and I'm…

I must confess ...... I took Sunday off from Shredding - I had a huge test to study for and didn't do too much of anything that day. But today after I got home I did Level 2 again. I'll check my weight in the morning and post again ....... Great job everyone!! :drinker:

I log it under Circuit Training. Gotta love the Shred!!!!! :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart:

I haven't posted for a couple days ....... sorry ..... I am still Shredding daily!! This morning I did Level 3 before going to work and working 11 hours ...... WHEW!!! Planning on Shredding again tomorrow ......... until then ....... :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :drinker: :heart:

Never too late - welcome aboard!!! There has been a few people talking about doing this again during the month of October too!! Jillian is a killer ..... but, oh so worth it!!! Hope you find it tomorrow!! :flowerforyou:

I will check in Tuesday with my stats!! Great job so far everyone!! :flowerforyou:

Friday morning I did Level 1 Saturday morning I did Level 2 Things are going great - I haven't missed a day of Shredding yet!! Since I am addicted to weighing myself - currently I am down 2 pounds this week ....... but we'll see what I am on my "official weigh in day" which is Tuesday!! .......crossing my fingers ........…

GREAT JOB!!! So tell me/us ...... how did you do it - did you start at level 1 for 10 full days, then level 2 for 10 days, then level 3 for 10 days ...... or what?? I've just been bouncing around doing all the levels ....... well, really alternating levels 1 and 2 ..... I've only done Level 3 twice (wow - hard). I'm not…

I did Level 3 this morning ..... at 4:45 am!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! But ..... I felt such a feeling of accomplishment afterward!!! Then I went to school (PTA student) and during my Therapeutic Exercise lab class - we did all Core stability and Core strengthening ..... 1 1/2 hours of it!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy were my abs feeling it…

I would have to agree with the early morning Shred!!! I generally do it at 4:45 or 5:00 a.m. - unless I happen to oversleep for some odd reason ....... LOL!! :laugh: It definitely gets me going and then when I get home I know that I've already got that done and anything else that I do is extra!! Feels good!! :tongue: I was…

I didn't have "pain" in my wrists - but they didn't feel good during the level 2 plank stuff ...... here's what I do now .... During the plank cardio stuff (bringing legs up together and the plank jacks) - I place my hand weights and grip those while I do them - so that my wrists are not in full extension on the floor.…

Tuesday morning ...... OK - here are my stats!! Beginning weight (Sept. 1): 137.0 Current weight (Sept. 9): 136.5 DOWN 1/2 pound!! I didn't do my measurements on Sept. 1 - the last time that I did them was on 08/19/08 ...... 08/19/08 Bust (with bra): 36.25" At bellybutton: 31.25" 2" below bellybutton: 33.5" 6" below…

My official weigh in day is Tuesday (tomorrow morning) so I will post all of that stuff tomorrow. I have been kind of alternating Level 1 and Level 2 - I tried Level 3 on Saturday and was very sore - definitely a good workout!!! I took Sunday off to let the muscles rest a little bit. I did Level 1 tonight again and will…

I Shredded everyday from the beginning ....... I tried Level 3 on Saturday. OooOOhhh Myyyy ...... needless to say ...... I took Sunday as a day of rest. My muscles are SORE!!! Back in action on Monday!! Happy Shredding!! :flowerforyou:

Saturday - Sept. 6 ....... Day SIX .......... Good Morning, Shredders!!!! Well, I just got finished with LEVEL 3!!!!! OooooOOooooHHHhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy!!!!!! Some of the stuff I was fine on - some of it will take some time to get used to!! I must admit that I did some of it with Anita, part of it I did half with Natalie and…

Come to my house and clean closets out for me!!!! :laugh: I'd say that you deserve a day of rest after a day like that!! Right back at it in the morning - Jillian will kick your butt again ....... literally on Level 1!!!! :laugh:

Alf & Amanda ....... Thanks for the encouragement ......... TOM is next week for me - I'm feeling a little bit bloated already but am so psyched up about the jeans that I fit into this morning!!! Usually when I get home in the evening I change right away into my "comfy" clothes ......... today I didn't!!!! Woooo Hooooo!! I…

This is VERY addictive!!!! I did Level 2 again this morning ...... at 5:00 AM!!!!! I think tomorrow ....... if I'm feeling very strong and motivated tomorrow morning (Saturday) then I MIGHT try Level 3. I have not even "watched" it to see what I'm in for but I'm going to try!! Great Shredding everyone!!!! Seems like…

My wrists also hurt me during the plank exercises that she does in Level 2. What I have been doing instead of having my palm on the floor with my wrist fully extended - I lay my hand weights and grasp those instead so that my wrist is not extended - it is in neutral position. That helps me out - but I have not had surgery,…

HA!!! Tell your butt "you're welcome" :laugh:

I thought the EXACT same thing the first time I did Level 2 - walking pushups?????? :noway: I promise - they do get easier!!! The "plank" cardio ones on Level 2 still get me too - then the last plank one that she does for the abs - I modified and do that one on my elbows because it KILLS my wrists!!!!! It will get easier…

OK - I just did a Food Search on this fair food that is going to be tempting me ...... 1 Funnel Cake (6" diameter) - 760 calories and 44 grams of fat!!!!!!!!!! :noway: 1 Carnival Corn Dog - 375 calories, 21 grams of fat and 1170 mg sodium!!!!!!!! :noway: I think that does it ........ I WILL RESIST the temptation!!!!!!! I…

Thanks for the support on the "fair food"!!!! It sounds GREAT when I type it out and read it that I'm going to resist all of those temptations ....... we'll see when reality hits and I **SMELL** all of the scents of the fair ....... I'll let you know how I do on Sunday. Hmmmm Level 3 ..... secret weapon ...... in case I…
