Make me shred

[FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin]

The table is pulled out of the way. The jingly music is playing. Jillian is grinning at me and waiting to introduce me to her "two best girls helping us out". But I cannot bring myself to press play.
I did so well last week, a full week of shredding and watching what I eat. This week, Mr Motivation has left the building. I've already hada a square of chocolate.

i told you were a machine, Iced

well done, that is a flabuloss (see what i did there?) result!

Thank you :) im feeling very proud of myself! going to relax over the weekend eat some naughty things then get back to it Monday, I will need to find myself a new thread to join for ripped

Good luck to all those still shredding you can do it!

IcedCoffeeQueen - WELL DONE!!!!

Day six level three done for me, at 7am. Dare I say it's getting easier?

Iced ... absolutely fantastic! Time for and ? Or would that break every rule in your book! Please don't disappear come Monday, keep us posted!

iced congrats on finishing and on your impressive set of stats! Bet you feel great, and so you should! Don't leave us though, you can post about ripped, I'm going to try ripped as well as running. My DH says he's going to do ripped with me! I'm not holding my breath

My DH just told me I've gone wrong somewhere as he was covinced today was day 9 for me! I've just looked back and he was right! I put day 6 twice, on the second and then again on the fourth! So this evening I will be completing Level 3 Day 9 and tomorrow is my last day! Woohoo!

Thanks everyone, I will definitely hang around this thread has been a major part of keeping me motivated. I actually done ripped level 1 today just as extra on top of shred im clearly too keen! I don't find level 1 very hard so might either up my weights or go right in at level 2.

Has to be said if you think Jillian looks good in shred she looks seriously toned in ripped, she is very hyper as well, her 2 helpers this time seem really into it as well, I used to get fed up with Natalie looking tired and bored in the shred, ripped is definitely going to be encouraging!

Binks, good luck with the quitting!
Iced brilliant weight loss, ESP when you have so little to lose!
I am dieting ATM, although day off today, although I did shred.really pleased to be feeling it again, I am so sweaty after l2 and my muscles ache all over. I hate the walking lunge things though, just cannot do it. Am thinking I should just go to l3, seem to remember much less coordination required

Level 3 Day 9 done.
iced glad you are hanging around! I know what you mean about Nat looking tired and bored, I've found that really irritating too!
I'm going to try to shred first thing tomorrow as then i'm done! not quite 30 day shred,but 38 day shred! Thanks everyone for keeping me going!

Evening everyone,

Well done iced, excellent stats!

I did day 5 of level 2 this morning, probably won't shred over the weekend but back on it on Monday.

Wallpaper it will be more like the 40+ day shred for me! I'm just pleased (and surprised) that i have stuck at it for this long.

Mine will be the 39 day shred. It was meant to be 37 but I had 2 rest days :-D

Just waiting for DH to go to work and then I'll be on it like sonic. I don't mind him watching, it's just he tries to talk to me, asking me how I'm doing, it's hard enough to keep breathing, never mind talk!

Anymore runners want to join that thread I found or do we want a new one?

I'm just about to do my last day of the shred! I have just weighed myself and taken all my measurements. I have to say I am really disappointed. I weigh exactly the same as when I started so I'm still fat. My waist is the same but I've lost two inches off my pooch bit, and an inch off my hips.
I'm pleased I've stuck with it, and whilst I'm now not a slim goddess, I am at least much more toned, my stomach is hard and the wobbly bits have gone. I still need to loose at least half a stone though. I hope ripped in 30 alongside c25k will have the desired effect! I've eaten really well this month, lowered carb portions, only eaten bread twice, upped my fruit and veg in take, drunk more water, clearly I need to do something a bit more radical! However, on the 1st aug I barely limped through level 1, now I can do full on sit ups, jumping lunges gracefully, travelling press ups, mountain climbers, the list goes on! Now that is an achievement!!!

wallpaperaddict - Don't panic about your weight. I have put weight on! But I look so different. I read on a forum to think of it as losing fat not weight. If you're slimmer, you've lost fat.

I haven't managed to quit smoking yet. Still on four to six a day. Things have been horrendous at work this week so I have needed it to get me though. Cutting down more next week though.

I set myself a challenge this morning to do level one, two and three back to back. You'll never flipping believe I actually did it! I'm a quivering mass of jelly right now though. Can just about move one finger to type.

That's level three day seven done. Over and out!!

Wow binks, you're amazing! 123 back to back!

Are you getting any help with the stopping smoking? Or just cutting down with a view to cutting it out completely?
You are right, whilst my weight had stayed the same my overall shape had changed, I have huge leg muscles and look athletic. I do build muscle quickly and in my gym days I was more lean and muscular than waif like. Perhaps that's just my look iyswim.

One day left and I'm fully shredded, and all my clothes still fit, but I've gone down at least one hook on my bras and pants fall down if I've not got leggings on!

Binks, keep going with the giving up smoking, imagine how many workouts you could do with the extra lung capacity! It's almost 8yrs to the day since I've smoked, I still find myself passively inhaling at times, have you tried one of those e-cigs? A couple of long-term smokers I know have done it with those.

My fellow shreddies, that's me done! Ive finished the 30 day shred and I am officially shredded! Yay!

ripping I'll see you over on the c25k thread you linked too!

Iced, you've given me so much hope! I'm about the same starting weight as you, and just dying to lose half a stone or so!!

Is Ripped a short workout too? I'd love to give that a go once I'm done Shredding, but I've only got half an hour to do a workout in.

Last day here i come - I'm going to miss Jillian and her best girls

But I found myself signed up to parkrun and aiming to do the first one two weeks time

Level three day eight done. I did myself up the wrongun with all that exercise yesterday. I could barely finish it today. I think tomorrow will be a before bed shred so I have a longer time to recover.

Haven't quit smoking. In fact, smoked like a barbeque yesterday :( Goddamn it.

I'm so proud to be coming to the end of the shred with all you guys. You've all been a big support xx

not giggling at your plight

Your wrong un will thank you when you can crack walnuts with it :-D

Oh and by the way. . .

I'm shredded. Done the whole fricking lot. And had a wee cry with joy and relief

Well done on finishing ripping!

Thank you

I'm all set for tomorrow now and might have found myself signed up to parkrun already :)

Wow ripping!
