Let's Get Fit Together: Join the 30-day Shred Challenge!

[ShelbyMichalek]

I am still doing level 1, tried level 2, but it was a lot more jumping, which I have a hard time with. I am also doing weight watchers, which I love! I am definitely starting to see a difference in the way I feel and the way my clothes fit for sure! So glad for this accountability as well. Oh, forgot to mention I am doing 30 day shred mon, wed and fri and ab ripper x on tue and thur. So, I am really seeing a difference in my abs! Yay!!!

I'm glad to see that! When I read that you weren't doing level 2 I was concerned because I know that if you do the same workout too long, it's actually not good for your body. But since you're alternating, you'll be okay for awhile.

I still have my belly pouch thing, but I've noticed a difference in my abs too! I was working out with a friend and afterwards we were in her kitchen and I guess when I twisted my body to turn and walk it made my abs look amazing. So I kind of tightened and felt and OH my! It was awesome! LOL!

When this was originally posted/started, I was still in my running mode. Then I got sick. Got well, went back to the gym to restrengthen. Got sick. Went back to the gym again, got hurt. Gave up.

Then last week while I was in WalMart, I happened to see the dvd, it was only $9.98, so I bought it thinking, okay, so many are doing this, I'll give it a try.

Well, thanks to this "accountability, encouragement" thread, I just finished day 5. Why the big deal? Well, today was one of those days...really tired, lots to do on my list, really tired (did I mention that?), and the cheesecake in the frig kept calling my name. So I took the cheesecake out of the frig to see what it wanted...for me to eat it of course! But I said, "No Mr. Cheesecake, you're going in the trash. I'm going to do my shredding now, even though I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to." So I did.

THAT was a huge step. Thanks for filling me in on this exercise program!

Way to go pchockeymom! Every step in the right direction is a positive one! Way to not let cheesecake control your life! Hehe!

I havent done the dvd in awhile, but a local friend and I have challenged each other to start training for a 5k this spring. It seemed like a good goal we can both do together. My training app does 3days a week, so I am going to try to put Shred in between days again, so I am doing my running, but maybe some strength/ab work too. We will see, but even if I dont and just do my C25K app, that is huge for me! Plus, we are keeping each other accountable for our WW points tracking and food. We see each other every week, and have about the same amount to lose overall.

We are thinking of calling our "team" The Triangle Shape Shifters. We want new shapes by the end of the summer!

I ordered the 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 and TBL:The Workout - Weight Loss Yoga with Bob HarperI get bored easily (that's my excuse) and now I will wait for their arrival in my mail box. Hopefully they won't gather dust like all of the other workout videos I've purchased over the years.

Just letting you all know that I did receive these DVDs in late January/early February (can't remember) and have yet to open them! I'm wondering how everyone else is doing with their workouts. I'm seriously lacking in the accountability department. :cry:

I started 30 Day Shred today again. I have been eating "clean" for 6 weeks without really being serious about exercise. I have lost weight and inches but know in order to get the results I want I have to exercise. How is everyone else doing on their program of choice?

Now that I have my jaw joint replacement surgery over, I will be able to eat healthy foods again soon. I start PT today for my jaws and as soon as I am released to start exercising I will be doing so. I lost 60 pounds last year and still need to lose another 30. I was derailed by 3 major jaw surgeries in less than a year.
But I will be joining all of y'all soon!!!!!!!! I wish everyone the best on their journey!

I havent been on here for awhile membership ran out and didnt register till today. We started doing JM in March or April and end of May I came home from my workout and I could hear/feel a mummer in my heart. I had a valve replacement done 10 yrs ago, so we started walking. Will have to have another valve replacement in the future. Dr thinks I tore a leaflet in my valve. So we walk the track everyday for 3 miles.
