Aw happy birthday to the big guy. My little one is 5 - time flies! OK, now that yesterday's pity party is over, this morning I tried two of my three new made up circuits for upper body cardio. It took about 13 minutes and I was able to burn about 125 calories. So I'll be doing more later since that is nowhere near my usual…

So as some of you may see on my profile status, I killed my knee (sprain, possible tear though I hope not!). I have an MRI on Wednesday to find out. In the meantime dr told me no walking and definitely no Shred DVD. I need some great ideas to stay on track that won't impact my legs. I gave into weakness today in my…

Got the Shred in on my lunch, so now I can relax and enjoy our outing later! If it cools off I may go for a short walk after little man is alsleep, but I already did what I wanted to for today between this morning and lunchtime, so I may give my poor knee a free pass!!!!

That is incredible! Congratulations to you on seeing all of your hard work pay off!!!!!

Great job ladies! I'm on day 12 of the 30DS, but decided to flip my workouts and did the walk/hike this morning since it's supposed to get up to 90 later. It will be much later this evening though (unless I squeeze it out on lunch) because tonight we are going to meet Michael Symon at a local book signing!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I…

HAHAHA! I had a power walk like that the other day after the boyfriend aggravated me too! :-)
-
So many things to be proud of myself for today! First of all, I fit into my next size down jeans! (Just barely but they fit so damn it I wore them out today!). Second, I finished my first day of Level 2 of the Shred. From an energy standpoint I was able to do it with only 2 quick three second breaks and only one…

Just finished a hike and walk (so happy to live right next to a park with miles of trails to explore!), followed by my 30 Day Shred level 1. I made it through the whole Level, no real modifications other than one quick jog in place of a few jumping jacks (not sure why I can't seem to manage those and jumprope all together…

I am here and I am IN IT! :-)

Happy Birthday!!!!! I pushed through my 30 Day Shred today. My knee hurts a lot during the jumping jacks and lunges, but I was able to muscle through it. I felt so guilty about not doing it yesterday that I had to do it first thing this morning. I just don't know what the best thing to do to take care of the knee is…

Just did my Shred and I feel great! Maybe my body just needed the day off to recoup a bit, I don't know. But I felt much more confident going into this workout than previous ones. I still have a hard time doing both jumping jacks and the jump rope in the same circuit for some reason, but I am able to push through most then…

I'm feeling a bit bummed today. I had a massive migraine last night and could NOT get myself to do the shred. I did do a walk at night pushing a stroller, so I got some exercise in, but even that was brutal. I really wanted to be able to say I did all 30 days of the shred. :-( today I'm going to do it on my lunchbreak. I…

Rhenee, I finally sucked it up and went to a local women's boutique where they specialize in women's bras. I got fitted and got the perfect exercise bra for myself. More money than this Walmart shopper would normally spend, but I tell you what...the girls sit tight! :-) I'm glad I finally made the investment!

That is an awesome story, I must have been living in a bubble! LOL. It's stories like these that give me that same feeling, thanks for sharing!

Still on Level one in the 30 Day Shred. Last night was tough - I think I've been doing so much extra cardio that doing the shred at night almost killed me! I wanted to stop after the first circuit, but pushed myself to complete it (with a few modifications during the cardio minutes). Today is my first day back in the…

Hi all! I'm looking to lose right about 50 for starters (that will be my lowest weight in I don't know how long!) and then re-evaluate from there on an additional 20 or so. I just started this journey a couple of weeks ago, and can definitely use all the support I can get! Anyone please feel free to add me!

Hi! I have one and I use the app - mapmyrun. It's great, it saves how far you travel, calories burned, logs different types of workouts (not just running), it's FREE, and I find it to be a good supplement to this site. I try to walk just about every day on top of my regular exercise. I use mapmyrun to keep track of what I…

Today should be fun. I'm getting myself ready to go on a long hike thrgh a state park (despite the crummy weather). This will be the first time I do the Jillian Michael's workout later in the day instead of first thing in the morning, we'll see how it goes! Picnic lunch packed and lots of water ready to go! Everyone have a…

Finished Day 4 of the 30 Day Shred. Loving it! It did start to get a LITTLE easier today! Getting ready to take my mom out for her birthday and already pre-planned what I can have at the restaurant to stay ON TRACK! I wasn't sure what day we were all weighing in on, so I just did it today (Sundays will be easier for me). I…

I just finished Day 4 today but I'll be joining too! I was looking for some folks who were just starting to help keep me motivated!!! Everyone please feel free to add me as a friend as well, I could use the help"!"
-
Great goal! You can do it!

It was the culmination of a bunch of things for me, but ultimately coming to grips with the fact that I was depressed, unhappy with my weight, embarrassed to see pictures of myself with my son, did it. I just decided something has got to give. I had lost a ton of weight when he was born 5 years ago, but eventually put it…

Feel free to add me too, I'm new as well!
-
Great job!
-
I'm happy to be your buddy too! I joined the 90 Day Hot for the Holidays Challenge and I'm determined to stick through it. I can use all of the motivation I can get!
-
I just started this yesterday and am getting ready to go into the living room for Day 2. It was great to see all of your stories to keep me motivated!
-
Great job for still doing the one workout! I give you a lot of credit, your schedule sounds hectic but you are still making it work, great job! Today will be my second day of the 30 Day Shred, and I'm also determined to do walking later on tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes! :-)
-
Great job! As for me, I picked up two Jillian Michael's DVDs since the local stores don't have my Tae Bo lol. I'm going to start the 30 day shred today, with her Kickboxing one as a supplement for days I may feel spunky and to do as the regular once the first 30 days are complete! I have no idea how to figure out how many…
