30 Day Shred- Get a Shredload for August!

Hi all,

Ripping and Lego kindly posted on my thread (asking for advice on exercise) and suggested I come and join you so here I am. I have the Shred dvd and I'm going to give L1D1 a go this evening. Wish me luck! I'll let you all know how I get on.

Late night shredder...L1D2 done, just in time for it to count as today!

Aha, sheep you are 3 days my senior, I shall be watching your progress to the next level like a kid watching her older sister startat big school!

My shred was ok, left me feeling better, and I'm getting better at push ups, although what I'm calling better would not be an achievement worth shouting about! How your bloating eases soon iwill, will you continue shredding or take a break now?

L1D8 done followed by an impromptu meal out rather than going for a run

Not looking forward to L2 as I know what's to come! Ah well.

I feel like I'm going backwards some days. Particularly with the press ups.

Evening shredders L1D5 just completed in my hotel room. Away for work this week so trying to eat relatively healthily (not easy when you are out every day of the week) and shredding using YouTube on my phone. Resorted to using wine bottles from the mini bar as weights (oh the irony!)...good knows what my neighbours think what with all the jumping around and grunting and huffing

Don't worry about going backwards a bit monster, it'll be down to tiredness/diet/hormones on a particular day. As long as you are powering through and generally on the up I wouldn't worry at all

Thank you Lifes !!

Not sure if my results are great at the mo, at the tale end of horrid bloated period. Have been drinking lots of water, hope I look better than this tomorrow!!

Hope your Shred went well and you're feeling better

Will post stats for round 2 tomorrow (if bloating has gone)

D7 L1 had anyone found they go backwards?!? Tonight was hard!!!!! Struggled with ALOT of the moves!!

Maybe cos its a fast day, almost in tears I could barely manage the girls push ups!!!!

Thank you Noel

I walked the pup, got DD off to activity day, OH to work, bribed DSs with box of Lego and threats of having to help clean/tidy room if they came in. Shut door and just did it!

And survived

Ah Iwill, Congratulations!!! And yes, what a shame we didn't enjoy what we had at the time, all this work we're doing deserves our self respect! Are you pleased with your results?

Just off to shred after having been ill and up all night... hoping it'll be ok!

Oh Sunny under boob blister must really hurt

L3D10 done - I've done, I've actually done it!!!!!!

I promise you, if I can do it ANYONE can

I'm here, have weights, did Friday and yesterday on level 1. Need to do today's later now. Think my bra has rubbed a blister under my boob though painful!!

D1L1 done! Forgot how evil the lateral raise thingies were...but only 29 days now to go . I will definately look forward to getting onto level 2 to avoid them (fell off shred wagon at L1D9 last time)

Woohoo I'm so glad to find a shred thread can I join you all please? I started shredding yesterday Im doing it first thing in the morning while DC are in bed, I want to lose my belly from DC1 and eating junk after I got the hyperemesis under control and thighs which I've always struggled with and which are killinge now! Definitely need more stretches, good luck to everyone just starting and well done to those nearing the end.

Me too, me too !!!

I was a 10/12 and thought I was fat. WTF??

I can't believe it. I thought my bum was HUGE. But it couldn't have been, could it ?!?!

That body was wasted on me, not now though. I would fully appreciate it [wise emoticon]

L3D9 -done

Hark, is that the end insight ?

I know what you mean life. A few years ago I lost four stone and was a size 12 for the first time in my adult life. But I didn't really appreciate it or the difference I had made to my body. I still wore fairly shapeless baggy clothes. If I manage it again I will definitely appreciate it more.

Not a great start...eating steak, half a glass of and about to watch Dr Who on catch up...will have to be a late evening shred to let my tea digest....must ask OH to hide rest of wine so not tempted further...

The only thing that is motivating me tonight is to tell you later that I have doe D1L1....watch this space....

You made me giggle my sore stomach "muscles" Iwill. And Noel, "someone as unfit as me", come on! You have enviable hips, what I wouldn't give! I have been looking back over photos prior to 18 months ago. I was a 12 or 10 depending on the cut, people thought I looked like a 10 (and they now are shocked when I tell them my clothes size, I carry it well!) But my point is and I thought I was fat, I was unhappy with my body. Ever since becoming a size 10, about 10 years ago, I've thought I was fat. Now that I struggle to get into a size 14 (and by struggle I mean there has to be major give so it's not really a 14 is it?) and I work to get back down I am vowing to myself that I will appreciate my body when I get back down!

I didn't think it was o clock yet Lifes

Although my auto correct insists on beaver, beaver ??

(wow, I can't spell, hm )

Wow Noel, you have abs! That's really helpful, thanks for posting pics. I have put a pic of myself before the pgs as my desktop photo as a reminder of where I was 18 months ago. I'm not brave enough to put a pic on here but will update my stats at either weekly or 10 day intervals. I have to go to the chemist to weigh myself so it's a little off putting!

And I've actually made my OH feel awful for walking in on me "youcan'tbehereyoucan'tbehereyoucan'tbehear..." until he leaves, I must sound insane.

Hi Needsomehelp, good luck notallit's, I couldn't dream of doing it in the afternoon!
