Anyone can feel free to add me! Motivation/support is always a good thing :smile: //www.fitbit.com/user/2GF6G4

I'm not the most inspirational person fitness wise (YET,) but I try to be motivational & am always looking for others to help move me along the right path as well. Friend request sent! Anyone else feel free to add me as well!

I need to look into these sites for the at home workout advice as well. Thanks to all of the knowledgeable users for sharing!

I just purchased my Flex a couple of weeks ago & am in love. It definitely helps keep me active when I can see with just a tap how close (or far) I am to my daily goals. It's very easy to just put on and forget about. I've had no problems with syncing & have lost 7 lbs in the little that I've been wearing it. I find that…

I'm not too sure... I know I had a pretty rough time finding this link when initially searching for resources. Youtube keeps taking down all of the full length versions :frown:

Your calorie intake seems a little low for the amount of exerxise you're doing/calories you're burning in a day. I'm definitely not any kind of expert when it comes to nutrition (obviously,) but maybe that could be a possible reason for not seeing the type of loss you're aiming for??? Also, during my first round of the…

The group is scheduled to do 10 days (2 weeks) at each level (1,2, & 3) to compile the total of 30 days. Everyone is welcome to go on at their own pace, moving to the various levels that they feel they are ready for when they are ready for them, but when setting up the group I felt that an even spilt of our time between…

I completely hear you on the poor diet thing :grumble: I struggle pretty much every day trying to make healthier choices... or at least when they're not so healthy, staying under portioned control. The only thing I find that even helps (me) is the pre-potioned out snacks (chips, candies, drinks, etc.) At least with those I…

The group schedule is set up for 10 days at each level (or 2 weeks.) Of course everyone is welcome to go forward as they see fits their own fitness needs, but I'll be keeping the topic thread schedule set for 2 weeks at each level :smile: So glad everyone is still going strong! Be sure to catch up on the weekend if any…

I'm not in the right place to do the Shred today, so to save my sanity I'll go ahead & admit to it now! No worries though, the schedule was designed for make-up days :smile: Guess I'll be taking advantage. Keep going strong everyone. I'm so proud of all of you. Checking in during the day & seeing your progress makes me…

Day 3 complete :bigsmile: This day on my last round of the Shred was the worst. I could not move my legs (I hear you on walking like a duck,) & had to modify pretty much everything, but this time around I'm definitley still sore, but was able to do everything! It's awesome seeing improvement like that... knowing that the…

Thank you so much for posting this topic! I know I had no idea how to post pictures & I've seen several others in the group that are in the same boat.

Day 2 done! I'm definitely feeling the work from yesterday in my quads & arms. I'm sharing my weight set with my Mom so I had to step it up from 3 to 5 lbs... I never would have thought just a couple of pounds would have made such a big difference. I'm so glad to have such a great group of people to go through this with. I…

There isn't a Day 1 for Level 2 yet, but we'll all be catching up to you eventually. Until then definitely feel free to just log with everyone on the various days, even if it's not the same day that you are on.

A lot of people that I have talked to in the past logged the Shred as Circut Training as we're doing so many different moves & working a lot of different parts of the body. In my previous group, some who logged this way also wore a heart rate monitor & said the calorie burn camparison was very similar. Personally, I don't…

Day 1 Level 1 complete for me! I definitely need to build up my endurance... that first cardio set of jumping jacks & jump rope nearly had me on the floor :laugh: I'm doing a lot of the modifications (especially when it comes to push-ups,) but compared to the last time I did Day 1, I took far less water breaks & breathers!…

Starting Weight - 232.2 :embarassed: Biceps - (R):16 (L):16 Chest - 44 Waist - (smallest) 37.5 Tummy - (largest) 45 Hips - 51 Thighs - (R): 31 (L): 31 So done with the embarassing part! Onward to never having to see these numbers again!

There's links to the different levels (1,2, & 3) posted under the Group Schedule thread for those who do not have the dvd. As for timing, everyone can do the workout anytime during the day that works for them & have an optional check-in afterwards... I'll be posting a daily thread for each of the 30 days for members to…

Sorry to say that I'm an inexperienced photo poster myself & am not sure how to do this... As moderator I wish I could help, but I've yet to be brave enough to publicly post my before pictures yet :embarassed: If anyone else knows the format for posting pictures & could share it that would be great!

You can do any of the exercises without weights, but I usually stick to 3 lbs for most of the moves. Sometimes I keep my 5 lbs on hand for a couple that I feel are too easy @ 3. Last time I did the Shred I switched a lot based on what I felt I could handle at the time... some days adding more if I'd built up enough…

So, to get us started, my name is Devin. I'm a 28 year old single lady that lives in TN. For most of my life I swam competitively, but after college I was completely burnt out & lost pretty much any interest in fitness. After a couple of years "off" & shoveling food into my mouth like it was my job, I've recently (just…

I'll be checking out the site soon! I'm always in need of some at home workouts!

I was a swimmer from age 10 through most of college. I got a little burnt out after so many practices, but am looking to get back into it myself :smile: Others who are in a similar boat would probably help to get my butt back in the water!

Definitely feel free to add me! I just joined a couple weeks ago & found having friends/support has really helped me to get going (& hopefully to continue.) P.s. - I checked your profile, & one of my rewards for getting to my goal will be picking out a second tattoo :)

I'm 5'6'' (+ a liitle) & my goal weight a couple of years ago was at the very top of what is considered "healthy" for my height on the BMI scale: 155. As my weight recently got to the highest point ever in my life, I noticed that even if I lost 100 lbs I would now still be within the healthy range (right in the middle…

If there are any spots left I'd love to join. I've never been in a challenge before & could definitely use the group support & motivation!

I just ordered my 30 day shred dvd yesterday & plan on starting a.s.a.p. in July, but I haven't checked out any of the workouts in advance to see what they entail... I'm definitely going to be giving it my best shot (and am a bigger gal,) if you want to buddy up & see what we can accomplish :) Either way, I'm looking for…

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! Keep 'em coming. Time to hit research mode & figure out which resources will be the best fit.

Bump I'll definitely be coming back to this thread to keep up with & try some of these yummy options!
