30 day shred

ETA: I totally forgot to give mad props to Beth for inspiring me to do this. When I typed it last night my brain was tired and not thinking straight. Love ya Beth!!!


just started jillian michael's 30 day shred today. its 20 minutes a day every day for 30 days.

can i tell you it was the longest 20 minutes of my life. and now my arms are so sore that i can barely type.

but i have heard really good things about it, so nancy and i are up for the challenge. we plan on taking before pics tomorrow to compare to after we are done.

we are trying to stick to a 1500 calorie a day diet. neither one of us is good at sticking to a food specific diet. and we want the weight loss to stick, so we are doing it slowly but surely.

so far since march 11th i have lost 4 lbs (on my 1500 calorie diet with exercise 4 times a week). my goal is to lose 20lbs total. it would put me back at my pre pregnancy weight. now that i have finished nursing i can really focus on all of this.

Hey -- I'm starting that too, but not until we get back from a mini-spring break in the middle of next week. I'm doing it with a friend also. I'm really kind of scared!! Good luck!

Good job! I have heard good things about The Shred as well but haven't been brave enough to try.
1500 calories! WOW! You are certainly on the right track!

Congrats on the weight loss so far! I bought the 30 Day Shred DVD and did it for 3 days about 2 weeks ago ~ and haven't seen it since! You have re-motivated me to get it back out! Good luck!!

I ordered my 30 day shred yesterday. Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry got me inspired... keep us updated on your shredding adventure! (and the degree of soreness I should expect!!) :)

Yay! I just started shredding this morning! I have also heard/seen great things about it. I know someone who did the shred and the Making the Cut after and she has gotten AMAZING results!!! I do weight watchers, but I will also be really tracking what I eat!!
