30 day shred starts tomorrow!

Well done Faux, result!

I didn't measure but my clothes feel great on and I don't look hideous in a swim suit!

I did the 30 minutes youtube one again today as it yields the best results for me and has the best stomach exercises. I have been level 3 shredding too so I am shredding in spirit, if not in actions.

Congrats, Faux! It's nice to know that all that hard effort and sweat is paying off

Did Day 1 of Level 2 today. Oh my god! I absolutely cannot do planks because I can't hold my weight just on my arms for long, so this level was...interesting. Ended up having to substitute some of the exercises from Level 1, but hopefully I'll be able to build it up over the next week

Day 8 done, Level 2 tomorrow! Am slightly dreading it. I'm 19 years old but extremely unfit - I feel like even though I've only been doing it for over a week, my stamina is getting a lot better and I'm stronger. As long as you pace yourself, I think it's a great kickstart to getting fitter.

Day 10, double figures! Well done everyone, keep up the good work!

Welcome Sweetpea! Really do recommend doing this, getting started is so tough, 30 days seems so daunting, and you don't imagine you'll ever be able to do it. I am a little younger than you (30), but so terribly unfit, I didn't think I would ever be at the point I am now, but here I am with just 3 more workouts til the end! Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can. The good thing is that the moves are modified for beginners if needs be, and you can ramp it up a notch if you fancy, or stick with the beginners move - and no one will judge you for that!

Faux, am looking forward to hearing about your measurements and weight tomorrow! Hoping you have some good results. Really wishing I had taken measurements at the start now. Am feeling very apprehensive about my final weigh in, as I have a feeling I will be a bit disappointed. Although I can see I have toned up a bit, I just have this sense that I've not worked hard enough, not eaten well enough, etc, to get results I'll be really happy with. I know that is a bit silly really, cos ultimately the numbers shouldn't matter so long as I am looking/feeling better, but still! We'll see. I have no scales, so won't be able to weigh until Monday when I can borrow my mum's again!

thank you! I know I'll feel pleased when I've done it, it's the getting started that's so hard!

Been watching this thread with interest...I've let myself go completely in the last year and I feel so daunted. also I will be 40 this year and I feel like I might be stuck with this flabby, untoned body forever...is anyone else on this thread my age? Will it still work??!!

Had a huge hair dye disaster so after 3 trips to supermarket and 2 applications I really can't be bothered especially as I'm still waiting to rinse hair dye. On a positive I have done 2000 extra steps today, even though feeling crap!

Day 9 done!

105 squats? My legs would break! Maybe that'll be a new challenge for me when I'm done with the Shred. Day 7 finished, only one more day at Level 1 for me. Not sure whether I'm glad or nervous for the next level!

Well done faux, I did mine this morning as well, feels so nice to get it done and out the way, doesn't it? I have to do 105 squats this evening as the next stage in my squat challenge, fml. But at least the shred is done!

Enjoy your dinner out!

Welcome almostthirty, and good luck with getting started! We will kick you up the butt!

Well done everyone on weight loss and persisting with the shred!

Have just finished day 25, my wrists are really struggling, there is a lot of plank work, don't think they'll last much longer! Just need to stay strong for a few more days!

Has anyone posted a question for Jillian in the web chat? She has just started answering questions now, I hope she gets a chance to answer mine!

I've tried shred before but never really got past day 10, so here goes.
Starting day 1 tonight and I'm hoping with you lot to kick me up the backside I might make it past the 2 week mark !

Day 8 done.

Lost two pounds since last week and Day 6 done, so a good day today! Well done FauxFox on your loss! Think I'll try the eight days per level, mainly because I'm sick of this one already

Hi Bimble, hope you have better luck shredding this time!

Day 5 finished - already getting sick of listening to Jillian's commentary, I pretty much know it off by heart! Finally managed to do the whole thing with 2kg weights, though my arms are definitely hating me for it.

I'm supposed to be going away for a week long residential course at the start of April and have just realised that I only have twenty-ish days to go until then. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do the workouts while I'm away, as I don't know whether I'll be sharing a room or the timings of each day. So worst case scenario, I won't be able to complete my thirty days arghh

I would like to try and complete at least a good chunk of it this time round (particularly because I've never made it past the first day of Level 2!) So I'm considering trying it with just eight days per level. Does anyone who's completed it before think that's doable? Alternatively, I could just carry on as I am and pray that I get a chance to work out while away. Either way, I think I'll be happy that I've stuck with it for a while.
