September shredders, check in here!

Can I ask everyone, do you all get changed in to sports bra, keep fit gear etc to do Shred? I think that's what puts me off (doesn't take much!) I feel like if I could just shove DVD in and just do it it might be easier?? But then I would still have to shower and change afterwards! I'm just lazy aren't I??!

A poem for people
Doing level 1 Shred
Do extra quad stretches
Or your legs will be lead.

(Do them holding furniture and extra tricep stretches are sadly missing too)

A poem for peo

Im about to shred day 26, im so sad ive sat and made a chart for ripped so I can score each day off like I did for shred!

I cant shred before eating I never have the energy I usually do it after lunch id probably struggle after dinner though as my energy is zero at the time of day - good luck everyone if we keep this up we will be toned goddesses come Christmas!

I got my DVD about a week ago but still haven't started . Definitely won't today as I'm going to Zumba tonight. But if that doesn't kill me (it hasn't been on for the last three weeks), I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow.

Right, got up early before school run and did Day 2!

By God it hhhuuurrrtt! Not quite as out of puff as yesterday, probably because the moves were less energetic due to the AGONY. Now it hurts to go upstairs, to go downstairs, to pick up DD, to go to the loo, to pick up cup of tea - you get the picture. Oww.

However, feeling mega virtuous and I do believe it has improved my mood. Must be those endorphins.

trucks I hope you are right because this pain is seriously impinging on my smug-excercised-already mood.

cheddar, definitely Shred before tea. That's why I got up so early - to get the damn thing over with...

Restarted L1D1 today, need to keep motivated, got half way and stopped twice before due to not finding the time. I can't do the push-ups yet though! I wouldn't eat just before shredding cheddar! Why does the music suck so much? Anyone found a YouTube mix that works? Trying to give up sugar - massive sugar junkie...

Hey! Did my first day on Saturday and still ache now! Didn't manage to do yesterday but will do tonight.

Bring it on!!

Oooh excellent stuff, I'm waiting for my DVD to arrive (hopefully today!) so I will be shredding (shedding too please) as soon as I can!

Peeking in for motivation - won't be home til nearly 7 tonight, so to Shred first or have dinner first? If I put DD to bed quickly it probably makes more sense to Shred and get it over with. Must make sure DH has given DD dinner before he comes to pick me up.

I ache all over after yesterday! Took the dog out for an hour after Shredding and just felt knackered the whole time. I thought once I'd warmed up a bit my legs would stop feeling so tired but they didn't, and the walk had an awful lot of uphill and down dale.

I've been toying with low-carb for the last week or so - drank an awful lot of wine last night, though. I've been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs over and over for a month, so I must buckle down and get serious and stop eating cookies at the weekend!

L2D5 here, halfway through.

I think I'll try ripped when I've finished shred but if it doesn't agree with me I can go back to shredding.

I still haven't done anything about my diet, though had a 3800 cal deficit last week, including exercise. I need to be in good shape by Xmas...and beyond of course.

I joined The Biggest Loser Club and counted my calories. I lost 30% of my body weight and kept it off for two and a half years. I upped my intake of veg and started cooking separate meals for myself from the rest of the family.

Besides that, I did lots of Jillian and Bob workouts that I'd follow from Youtube but really, running was my thing. I loved running. I'd jump on the treadmill every morning for a 5k as soon as DH left every morning for the 50 min school run. Then I'd be showered, dressed and with breakfast ready by the time he got back. Oh how I miss those days of perfection! :(

I've become such a lazy blob these days. Can barely get through half a day without chocolate. The stone that I've regained has crept back on over 2-3 months. I know I can lose it- I've done it before. I just need to start.

Am shredding too. Love that it feels effective in a short amount of time.

Day 1 done. 5 circuits of NMTZ - I even did one I don't like

Bumpotato, I started ripped after my initial shred, found it harder than L3 shred . Got to level 2 and sacked it off, too much leaping about/complicated moves for my liking.

How did you lose the weight thediet other than shredding?

I've been doing the workouts via you tube but had to purchase L2 on iTunes this morning as it had been taken down.

Morning fellow shreddies, i started level 2 this morning after 15 days of level 1. Level 2 is hard And requires more coordination than i currently have! I hate the plank, every other exercise seems to involve the plank. But i did it!

wallpaper, iced and ripping hi and seriously well done for level 3!

I've done 30DS before but haven't excercise at all in 3 months so I'm starting again. I'd previously lost jut under 4 stone but have put one stone back on again. :(

Day one today. Feeling nervous because I'd really built my fitness to a good level before and I'm now worried I'll be aching all over after Jilian's finished with me because in three months I've totally lost the practice.

Normal to ache first 2-3 times.
Do extra quad stretches holding onto furniture and also triceps .... Won't cure but does help.

Gets much less achey by day 4/5.

Right, I have started Shredtember!

After months of inactivity and about a 9 excess lbs of weight gain following a miscarriage I am ready to make an effort.

So I did my very first Level 1 this morning. Feeling it in my thighs and my arms. Is that normal? Will I be okay tomorrow (probably not, felt like I might die this morning!). And that was only using tins as weights

I have just finished but going to carry on with level 3 on days when I can't fit in 6 week 6 pack which is 40min including warm up/down.

I would start Ripped in 30 but my computer is broken so o can't download and can't buy DVD where I am. So I have a lonely 6 wk 6 pack thread all on my own!

Randomly did JM yoga DVD as bored and DH out with Ds.
Called yoga meltdown.
Is basically a series of planks and strength moves disguised as sweaty yoga - not relaxing, not like normal yoga as its really a 30 min circuit but good workout.
You do need to be A. Strong and B. experienced with yoga - not expert but it would confuse a complete beginner.

i'll move over here for my final week! bumpotato I finish shred on fri and will be starting ripped the following mon, do we need our own thread?? lol

I am being useless. I have only shredded on 3 of the past 8 days. Give me a good kick, someone. I'm feeling all fat & wobbly again.

Hi joining ASAP or thurs 5 at latest.

I am going to try again as from tomorrow.

I started in August then had investigations re chest pain (now got the all clear and I have erm, padding on my tummy to get rid of!)
