Ah yes...........wine and goldfish!!! I definitely eat too many goldfish when I have a glass of wine!

Aha! Now I should be able to measure more accurately - before it was always hit or miss whether I was in the same spot or not! And boo! I am an overweight apple!

Really? I always look foward to having some extra calories left over so that I can enjoy a glass and still stay within my allowance.

I'm 38, 5'4" and weigh 154 lbs and I usually burn 330 calories for 30 minutes on the elliptical (gradual level increase).

Actually, I had recently switched to butter b/c I was beginning to think that margarine really is garbage, but there are so many extra calories in butter! Is Brummel and Brown available in Canada?

I order Hamburger Happy Meals all the time and I've never been asked if it's for a child? In fact, all a Happy Meal is, is a hamburger, small fries and small drink (and a toy of course!)

Still haven't found my HRM watch and I had to get up early to take my daughter to emerg (pinkeye...ugh!) so no Shred for me today. Think I'll give my muscles a rest day today. My arms are feeling it since I upped my weights to 8 lbs.

So, um, ya..........I chickened out!!! I'm using the excuse that I have to find my HRM watch. I will try to find it tonight so I can start tomorrow!

Oh man! You girls have me scared! I'm just about to start Level 2, in like 5 minutes! Eek!

Day 9 Level 1 Done!!!! I upped some of the weights to 8 lbs. so I bet I'll be feeling it tomorrow! And................I'm down 2.5 pounds!!!!! Sticking with the Shred everyday is really motivating me to stick with eating well! Julie - it is kind of boring, but it's true, it's only 20 minutes and there are benefits to doing…

Didn't do the shred yesterday, just the elliptical. Figured it might be ok to give my muscles a little break, and I went to bed early too (sleep is supposed to be good for your muscles, right?) So this morning was technically Day 9, but only my 8th workout. I'm still working up a good sweat but I probably could go up a…

Sounds good! That's what I'll try! Thanks!

My son had an early doctor appointment today so I ended up spending the day with him and now I'm wondering if I should try to do Day 8 tonight, knowing that I would do Day 9 tomorrow morning still? Do you think that is too close together? Better to just skip today and get back into my regular workout schedule tomorrow? (I…

Day 7 Level 1 DONE!! Who's still with me? :)

Day 6 done! Still on Level 1. I don't think I should be moving up until I can keep up with Natalie. I'm getting there though! (although I don't thi'nk I'll ever be able to do real push ups).

I wear a HR monitor and enter my calories burned as cardio. Day 1 237 Day 2 213 Day 3 210 Day 4 189 Day 5 didn't wear the monitor today

Day 5 Level 1 done!!!! I had to do it later in the day, but I was determined to do it!!! And I just finished 30 minutes on the elliptical too. Muscles are feeling much better - still tender, but it is a very delicious tender, if you know what I mean! Speaking of delicious, how is everyone doing with their eating? I am…

So are there any benefits to more protein?

Ladee - that info makes a lot of sense! Thanks for checking it out. And for sure we'll be here to support you, no matter how many days you do it! Just keeping pushing play (every other day!)

Just finished Day 4 Level 1! With my 4 year old coaching me on! "Again, again, again - you can do it!!" Strangely, my calories burned is decreasing each day. My HR monitor only showed 189 calories burned today. It was 237 my first day. ??? And the burn in my thighs is much better. I think I'll move up to Level 2 on Monday.

I'm 157 lbs. and I typically burn about 220 doing Level 1 on the Shred.

I'm going to stick with Level 1 until I feel like I've mastered the moves with good form. I'm still struggling with the both sets of lunges. :(

So could I assume that 1 1/2 cups of the cooked penne is 600 calories? I'm just not sure how I would know how much 3/4 cup makes once it's cooked (b/c I'll be cooking the whole box for the whole family.)

I think someone posted on here about it being ok, b/c it is such a short workout and it's only 30 days. Certainly not something to be maintained.

Just finished Day 3 Level 1. Burned 210 calories. Almost got thru all of the lunges today! WTG Ladee!!! Feels good once you're done, doesn't it? DH felt so bad for me limping around last night and this morning - he told me I should give my muscles a break, but I told him the same thing your husband said - best to just keep…

Good morning ladies!!! How are you feeling? I am soooo stiff and sore!!! It hurts to sit down on the toilet bowl! And going up and down the stairs with a 25lb baby in my arms is killing me! (But it is a good sore!) I'm using 5 lb weights for all of the strength exercises except the side lunges - I'm only using 3 lb weights…

I just started it today too!! I was doing Slim in 6 back in Jan/Feb but then I kind of fell off that wagon. :( Hopefully my muscles will remember those workouts though! LOL I have a 13 month old and I do it when she goes down for her first nap (about 9am). I really like that it's only 20 minutes (the SI6 workouts were…

Can I join you? I just started today and just finished reading through your thread. Interesting to hear how you are doing with it! In January I started Slim in 6, but was finding it hard to schedule the 50 minute workouts. 20 minutes seems much more manageable and then I'm planning to do 30 minutes on the elliptical at…

Hi! I'm from Ontario too!

I'm not very coordinated - is she hard to follow?
