Monday, 4/23 - Day 25! On the home stretch!
Can you believe we're almost done? I weighed myself again a couple days ago, and had gained a pound (probably just water weight, whatever), which means according to the scale I've only lost 2 pounds since we started. I've been keeping my calories between about 1500 and 1800 most days, which is close to maintenance for me,…

Wednesday, 4/18 - Day 20! Two-thirds of the way there!
Who is ready for the last day of Workout Two? I am! I have an intermittent sharp pain in my left ankle after last night's workout; I'm not sure what it's from. I did do the cardio without my mat last night -- I let my boyfriend use it -- but I wouldn't think that would make much of a difference. I also wore a brand new…

Tuesday, April 17 - Day 19... almost to a new workout!
Going to do mine after work... Good luck to everyone!

Hey all you quiet group members...
what's up with you? We've got over 80 members, but I only hear from a handful of you. Are the rest of you sticking with the DVD? I want to hear from some of you!

Day 17... I am showing these planks who's boss!
I really feel like I'm getting stronger with Workout Two! I actually stayed in plank position (or close to it) yesterday and today, for the entire time we were supposed to! I didn't think it was possible to improve so quickly. My thrusts and jacks are still itty-bitty baby jumps, but they're jumps! I hope some of you are…

I weighed in, even though I just said I wasn't going to!
I'm down three pounds! :) I was feeling pretty good about myself this morning, and I looked in the mirror and thought, "I must have lost SOME weight," and before I knew it, had gotten on the scale before I had time to tell myself not to. I'm kinda glad I did weigh in now, because I'm feeling more positively, and I feel…

Day 18. Too tired to say much more.
Did it. Two more days. I hope people are telling the truth when they say Level Two is the hardest. Bedtime.

Friday, 4/13... Halfway!
Day 15!!! I'm actually looking forward to my workout tonight, for once. :) I've decided I'm not going to measure or weigh in; I'm going to push through and wait until the end. Last night I was looking at a picture from last month, and my body looks exactly the same to me. I hope I have some results at the end... I'm a…

Thursday, 4/12 - Day 14! Almost halfway!
I haven't weighed or measured myself since the beginning, and I have been SOOOO tempted the last couple days. I feel like I'm getting stronger, but I'm afraid that I won't see much difference, and therefore won't be as motivated to keep it up in the last half. Is anyone else holding off on measuring? If I do measure, Day…

Wednesday, 4/11 - Day 13... (12 and 13 for me!)
So I missed my workout yesterday -- the first day I've missed since we started! I had a super-busy day, and didn't really get home and have some dinner until about 11 PM. I meant to go do my workout, but I was so exhausted, I thought, "I'll just lie down in bed for a few minutes, and then get up and do it." Ha! Ever the…

Monday, 4/9 - Day 11! Who has started Workout Two?
What do I have to look forward to in Workout Two this evening? I know some of you have done it already!
-
Tuesday, 9/10 - Day 12! Hang in there!
Good morning, all my beautiful Shredders! Are you ready for another day of Workout Two? I'm not really sore from last night; my arms just feel TIRED. Maybe the soreness will kick in later today... ;) I have a massage scheduled for after work, so I'm hoping that'll help me feel invigorated again before my workout this…

Saturday, 4/7/12 - Day Nine!
I haven't done today's workout yet, but I wanted to get the thread going for those of you who have. :) Today will be a replay of last Saturday for me: sleep in, clean house, workout, and THEN shower, haha! I don't like to shower before doing housework, since I always want to shower again afterwards, and I definitely HAVE…
-
4/6 - Day eight, just under the wire...
...again. Before I started, I figured I'd be working out before work, but I've only managed that once! And when I do it at night, the last thing I want to do is set my alarm for 45 minutes early and do it again as soon as I wake up. :P It's been alright at night, though -- I don't have trouble sleeping right after I work…
-
4/5/12 - Day seven! Already a quarter of the way through!
Can you believe we're already 25% done with this challenge? I barely squeezed my workout in last night, starting at 11 PM... but I did it! And it really felt like it went faster! I felt SO good doing the last set of cardio, like I was "floating off the ground." ;) When she says, "For those of you on day 5, 6 or 7, you'll…

Record your "before" photos/measurements, and find your twin
I'm planning to take photos in the next day or two, and will also be recording my weight, BF%, and measurements for bust, ribcage, waist, hips, thigh and bicep. Feel free to post your stats here if you're feeling brave (bonus points if you post your photos, though I imagine most of us will save those for the end, if at…

4/3/12 - Day five, and I'm getting stronger!
I got up this morning and did it before work! It felt SO good to get in the shower with the water turned to cool, but my face didn't stop sweating for a good 30 minutes after I got out, which kinda slowed down my morning routine! I can adjust, though. :) I upped my weights today on the rows and the flies (used 5 lbs for…
-
4/4/12 - Day six! Are you still doing other workouts?
I'm going to try to get my boyfriend to do the workout with me tonight! I was thinking about going on to Level Two today, too, but I think I'll stick with Level One for now. I went to the gym and jogged for 20 minutes before work; it was my first workout other than 30DS since we started. I felt great, but am wondering how…

DAY ONE!
My boyfriend had an out-of-town guest spend the night last night, and he was sleeping in the living room when I woke up this morning, so I haven't gotten to start yet... I'll have to do it this evening while they're out. I want to hear how everyone's first workout goes, so I can live vicariously through you while I'm at…

Day Two: Surprisingly not too sore...
...but I'm sure I will be tomorrow. The second day is always worse for me. My arms and legs feel more tired than sore, but my abs are definitely achy. Yay! Going to do workout number two after I do a little housecleaning.

Wednesday 3/28 check-in!
How is everyone doing? I went on vacation for a few days, and went over my calories once... but considering how many opportunities I had to do a lot of damage, I think I did really well! Now it is my sugar-craving time of the month, which is another challenge for me... oh boy.

36 members already!
Wow, I can't believe how many people have joined the group! Hi everyone! :) I'm trying to convince one more friend to do it along with us, but she's still on the fence. Does anyone know if the program is still on Comcast On Demand, or via Netflix? I don't use either, but I've read elsewhere that it was both places, once…

I'm so excited! Any advice is welcome!
I bought my DVD on Amazon this morning, and picked up a set of 3 lb. and 5 lb. dumbbells. I have so many questions for you seasoned Shredders: did you stick to a 1200-calorie a day diet? I keep hearing people say that number, so I'm assuming that's part of the plan. I'm currently at about 1700 a day and have been losing…

New to the group, but using my own rules...
I like the idea of rewarding myself for reaching goals, but the 35 days and not weighing myself just isn't something I see working for me. I weigh myself every day and track my weight using a moving average "trend line," which I HIGHLY recommend to people. It makes the slight fluctuations day to day so much more bearable.…
