hi guys - new thread as the last one was on 998 messages

notyummy and lostgirl Thank you for your info. any more? Quite new to fitness :)

Oh my good god. Last time I ever take advice from here - AM DYING!!!!!!!!

Stumbled accross this thread this morning and thought it would be a great way to loose some much needed baby weight. Bought the first workout on itunes.

Have just done it with OH. Presumably I must have done some good if I feel this bad?? OH is away for a shower. He has to be up for work in 5 hours and is concerned that he won't be able to move! Can you tell we are not a very fit household?!

Can I join?

Just done day 1! survived (sort of) but am just using 400g tins of tomatoes for now.

supermuppet - glad I'm not the only one huffing and puffing through Shred level 1 for teh first time tonight (following Anita all the way)

Tomato soup here! Will need to invest in some weights to collect dust make it a bit harder! :)

It must get easier?? Someone tell me it gets easier!

oooh there's a good idea. I have some 200g tins of tomato soup in the cupboard

My abs are already too sore to risk watching Miranda so goodness knows how I'll feel tomorrow...

I'll tell you how I feel in the morning, if I can make it down to the PC.

NO PAIN NO GAIN!

Day 4 - done.

Thank you to the poster who gave the tip about turning to face different walls during the star jumps - it worked! The agony was over quicker than usual.

Does anyone else get annoyed when she says "just a couple more" then goes on to do at least 7 more reps? A couple (in my book) is TWO Jillian! TWO!

justaminute my DH was shouting at Jillian about that! Can't even repeat what he was saying but a couple in her book and a couple in his book ain't the same thing!

Just getting mentally prepared to start Day 6 level 1. Need to start so I will be finished for the day

sugar how is yout OH today? haha. I need to get my DH to have a go.. at least then he will understand my pain! Although he hasn't said so, I bet he thinks I am such a wimp, going on all evening about how sore I am from a 'girley' 20 minute dvd.

my legs dont want to move this morning.
This is painful.

Its such a huge shock to my body i think. I did exercise before, but it was swimming or walking for about an hour a time, 5x a week.

This... is... killing.... me.

also stone and half overweight.

I will shred today though, and have decided to stick with the beans for weights at the momment as i really dont think i could cope with arm pain equal to my current leg pain. I wouldnt be able to get through the day/drive/work/walk dog etc...

Maybe the higher weights will be for the 2nd cycle?

I like the bit on the abs when she says the pain in yur abs is "fear leaving the body" WTF is that about!! lol

Joby - When I was in the military we used to have a hard core Physical Training Instructor who used to scream 'SWEAT IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY. SWEAT IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE!!! at the top of his voice whilst we did circuits (which were Shred, only faster....and lasted 40 minutes. Fun, fun, fun.

I feel surprisingly okay this morning....is the pain yet to start?

No idea how DH is the morning, he gets up at 2am for work, I didn't even hear his alarm farless get up like I usually do and make him a coffee. Oooops. I did have a great sleep though!

Ok.. Wish me luck, I am going in!

Hi I would like to jump on the bandwagon and become a normal size again. can you tell me which DVD you are using please? I goggled and there are a couple of them around. Thanks

oooh can I join please???

My fabulous DH bought the DVD for me after seeing me reading about it... for the first time hints worked

I did it last night for the first time, using some tins from the cupboard for weights......... owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

My legs were like jelly for about an hour after but it was GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Currently I am looking forward to tonight... not sure how I will feel about it closer to the time!

Just did day 3. Wonderfriend facebooked me ask what time i was doing it today ( she is doing it too) and to tell me i can do it.

I needed that. It hurt to walk when i work up.

But, i did it. No 5 second breaks and 3lb weights in each hand for the first time.

It seemed a tiny tiny bit easier. I wasnt dying by the end.

GO ME!!!!

have set the alarm for 6am tomorrow.

I actually think i can do this now.

well done red - fab news that your body gets used to it quick!

Yeah. Im really pleased. I actually ( and ill whisper this quietly) enjoyed it a little bit.
Also i didnt feel as knackred afterwards and just finished and got straight in the shower. First two days i had to sit down for 30 mins drinking water.

So, ive got 7 days left on level one, and today i think that maybe in 7 days i will be ready to do level 2.

Yesterday i didnt think that would ever happen.

Also i watched americans biggest loser thing yesteday for the first time. Man, some of those people lost like 200lbs and ran marathons.
That is amazing. If they can do it ( and god, jillian was super scary in theat) then i can drop 20lbs right?

You know that phrase 'A change is as good as a rest'?

Well let me tell you, it isn't in Jillians book!

I (feeling very super fit from 5 days of Level 1) decided to try level 2.

When you think it can't get harder, it does..

Back to Level 1 for a bit me thinks

A warm (sweaty) welcome to any newbies :)

virgo It is the orginal 30 day shred (not the one sold with weights, thats a different workout)

oooh very brave to go to level 2 after 5 days.

Ive decided i quite like Killian.

at "Killian". She certainly killed my right buttock today (the rest of me is okay bizarrely!)

Day 2 done!

I can't believe I'm actually enjoying exercise! I think it's because the improvement you make is tangible (via the thighs) so early on. Found myself following the harder moves for most of it today!

I hate love Killian!

ha - that was a typo, though rather apt!!!

Well sone Nicknameinuse :)

Have just done day 1 of level 2. Did 8 days of level 1, and moved up because I felt it was time.
My first session of level 2 nearly killed me.
Was literally shaking by the end. Please tell me it gets easier!
