    I will start with you Smile I've done the dvd before, but not for the full 30 days. My wedding is next summer so I'm down for 50 days with you haha.

    Have you already done yours today?

    No...i did wedding stuff instead for the past half hour. I guess I should start now because I have to leave soon and now I have you to answer to. :) This is why I need help. Thank you so much!!!

    Ok..no joke, I lost the remote to the tv. I moved recently and never found it so I usually hit play on the tv and I can watch stuff but I can't on the Shred b/c I have to select from the menu. So there might be a bit of a delay as I try to resolve this situation. Maybe I'll start tomorrow...haha, no seriously...I'll get to the store and buy a universal remote.

    Lol Have you looked on your DVD player? Some of them have buttons you can use to navigate through the menus.

    Blah, it is all rainy here, a tropical storm is hitting or something. Why does rain always make you just want to curl up in a ball and sleep? Haha.

    I did day 1 shred today on OnDemand. I hate Jillian. I was a little bad this last week since I started a new job and my eating schedule was weird. I'm back to counting WW points on each day so I can keep my weight down.

    It's a tv/dvd player and yes...the other buttons won't work on this particular dvd. But I'm determined...sorta..with help!! 

    @ gaBGal  I did WW for a few pounds a few years ago. Stay on this thread and we can encourage each other. I just bought a new remote! Hooray... ( I think the old one was lost in the move...roommates and throwing stuff away left and  right).  Here goes day 1.  I just really want to get toned and 20 minutes sounds like a manageable chunk of time.

    I think you will like it 808bride, but she really does kick your butt in it! I think I am going to do level 1 today...I feel so blah. Maybe if I just force myself to do it I will feel better afterwards? I hope lol.

    I did the 30 day shred and successfully lost 10lbs!  I was so proud of myself and not only did I lose weight, but I looked really toned!  I fell off the band wagon and gained back 5 of the 10lbs, but I need to start doing the Shred again.  I will start tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

    I'm getting married on New Years Eve, so I will have to hit the workouts hard during the holidays, so I don't gain too much weight :(

    I did Level 1 an hour or so ago. Whew it kicked my ass pretty good haha, I'm just not feeling it tonight. My 6 year old cousin did it with me but I didn't have extra hand weights so I just gave her a couple of water bottles to use lol.

    I'm starting week 2. :) But it's kind of like starting with you!

    His Barista: you can get it on Amazon for $6.50. People keep mentioning it OnDemand, but I don't have cable and I'd rather spend $6.50 for a DVD that I'll use everyday than $50/month on cable ;).

    If you have Comcast ONDEMAND, if you go to the ONDEMAND channel, and the "Sports & Fitness" section, then to "Exercise TV" you should be able to find the Shred workouts and the other Jillian workouts.

    I did it!! FI helped me set up the dvd system so then he just decided to join me spontaneously. He had to use cans of corn b/c we didn't have an extra set of weights. He actually had fun doing it. I really liked it because it was fast paced and the music kept me going. Didn't have time to think...just go,  go, go!! Yahoo...at last..I'm finally doing something. :D

    Alright ladies, day two done!  Still feeling good although a little sore. 

     

    How's everyone else doing?  Are you supplementing with any other workouts?  I don't have a gym membership so vacuuming/cleaning and walking my dog.

    Nice! I just did Day 6 today. My shoulders are hurting from the anterior raises (I had to do the modified version today), but I've been supplementing by running 12-15 miles per week with FI. I don't actually need *that* much exercise, though, so I'm eating like a maniac. ;) Definitely seeing results!

    Hi All!!  I'm IN!  I'm a week behind 808 wedding is on 10/3 so it's definitely crunch time!!  I'm mixing 30 day shred with some P90X arm/shoulders/chest/back and cardio workouts.  Definitely could use the accountability here!!  I'll start with everyone tomorrow!

    Okay, so I did Level 1 and I did 1 mile on the treadmill. Blah, I don't know if I am sick or what but I just feel so out of it.

    I can't wait until I get into that "I am so engergized from working out so much" part of being in shape lol.

If y ou are ahead of us or completed...please chime in to tell us how much it REALLY works or any other little thing that might be motivating!!! :) Going to force myself to do it...soon.

    Yay! Ms Hyman Roth, where'smydessert are in too. Ok..we're all on the same week.Fall Bride Kate, Honey Bunny,Gabgal and I just began, Sunflwra, Amp, Littlelutu made some promises to start, Marigold going strong..

    Well, I just finished Day 2. I think my weights are too heavy 6lb each but I'll try to stick it out. The moves look familiar, like stuff I've done before,  so I went to the AUDIO OPTIONS and turned the instructions off and went into the zone with the music. The cool down music is the best!! Anyway....I was pretty sore but most of the time I think it somehow loosened my muscles up. i'll stick with it EVERY DAY, even though my form is suffering in some parts and i was following the modified, low impact version today.

    I definitely think it will get easier with each day so maybe after 10  days, I'll try out level 2 for variety.  My dad flies in tomorrow and FI will meet my dad for the first time. :) They will spend the day bonding on Wednesday and then we'll head out to see District 9 when I get off of work.  Heyyyy, what are the chances, they'll both do the workout with me? Haha...just dreaming. Let me know how things went with y'all!  Oh..and I bought multivitamins today, just to be sure to keep up with the new workout plan.

    I started back on the Shred today!  Level 2 is killer if you haven't done it in awhile.  Less than 30 days til my wedding, but I'm working out twice a day to make up for lost time!

    @808: yes it's possible to do it everyday, but listen to your body. If your muscles are screaming in a bad way (an ache that is worse than typical post-workout soreness), take a day or two off. I only do it on weekdays (Monday through Friday) and take weekends off, so my 30-Day Shred is actually going to take me 6 weeks.

    welcome mouse, ecomaha, and beagle..

    oh wow..it's on Youtube, ecomaha?

    Marigold--i will keep that 'gentleness' in mind.

    I think I caught a cold today---so sleepy, sniffly, and sore throat...bummer...Wonder if I will skip today. Off to mop, pickup my dad and then eat dinner. I seriously doubt I can do it today. I knew I should have done it in the morning.  I'll let you know how it goes....anyone else workout today?

    Don't work out if you are sick! But you should always do it in the morning if you can... helps cut down on excuses not to work out later in the day!

    I just did Day 7 this morning, and ran 3 miles with FI this evening.. I am pooped.

    Just checking in, how is everyone doing?  I did level two this morning before work and feel GREAT!  808Bride, how are you feeling today?  I know it is tough because you don't feel great and your dad is visiting.  Push through it!  We've only got 45 (me) and 52 (you, I think?) days before the BIG DAY. 

    Is everyone drinking lots of water during the day?  I carry around one of those Nalgene bottles with me everywhere.
