Shredding Group to Begin on Monday
Hi Everyone!
Since quite a few people responded to my post about looking for a shred buddy, I figured it might be easier to do check-ins and provide motivation/support using this forum. If you are interested, I plan to begin the program on Monday which gives anyone still up for it some more time to get your DVDs. I have heard all you need is the DVDs and some hand weights. I also heard it is a good idea to do some body measurements before you begin as that is the best measure of progress with this system. I plan to do that over the weekend.
If you are interested, please take some time to introduce yourself!
Where are you from? Boston
Have you ever shredded in the past? No, but I am very excited to give it a try!
If you have shredded, how did it go?
When are you going to shred? In the mornings before my kids get up
What is your motivation? A professional family picture in May and I cannot wait to do a shopping spree with my new size! Also, dropping all this pregnancy weight has made is a lot easier to chase after my 2 year old!!!

Re: Shredding Group to Begin on Monday
Whoa how perfect! My husband and I were planning on starting it up again on Monday! I'd love to exchange stories and support with everyone! My name is Hannah and my husband is Josh.
Where are you from? Nebraska
Have you ever shredded in the past? Yes, I did it before my wedding and started it right before Thanksgiving, but quit after a week or two when we got really busy.
If you have shredded, how did it go? I really like it! I've never got beyond level one, but it is the perfect video for me. It doesn't feel unbearable when I'm doing it, but I can feel it the next day! And I definitely can tell a difference after just three or four days.
When are you going to shred? 8:00 every night with my husband.
What's your goal? I'd like to improve my strengthWhat is your motivation? I'm really doing it for my husband. He has gained about 30 pounds since we've been married and his self-esteem has taken a hard hit. He wants to lose about 50 pounds this year, and this is something that we've enjoyed doing together in the past, so we're going to give it another try. My motivation is getting him to feel good about himself again.

What is your motivation? I just want to feel good in my skin again! I really want to wear shorts and a bikini this summer again!

Awesome! I was just thinking about starting this again...
Where are you from? MN
Have you ever shredded in the past? Yes, I did it for about 3 weeks (off and on) during the summer of 2009.
If you have shredded, how did it go? Not going to lie, it was hard! It destroyed my knees, so I am going to do some modifications this time around. But it is a great workout. I didn't lose any weight (didn't need to), but I saw lots of definition and tone.
When are you going to shred? In the mornings before my kids get up or during nap in the afternoon.
What's your goal? My goal is to firm up all the pregnancy flab. Tummy, arms and legs. Gain strength in my upper body and core.
What is your motivation? I want to feel good in my own skin again. And do something that is just for me!

Where are you from? Maine
Have you ever shredded in the past? No, this is my first time; I started today.
When are you going to shred? In the evenings after I put little man to bed.
What's your goal? I'd be happy to just get a little toner and in better shape. Cardiovascularly I'm so out of shape right now, that I notice feeling a little winded to do even small little exercises. I hate to exercise, but 20 minutes a day feels doable so it seems like a good place to start.
What is your motivation? I just want to be healthier. I was doing well losing some weight with WW and then found out I had thyroid cancer and had a couple rounds of surgeries. The holidays and recovering from surgery really turned me into a big pile of mush, so I want to get back on track again.

Where are you from? Pennsylvania
Have you ever shredded in the past? I started it 3 days ago, hope I can still join!
If you have shredded, how did it go? Tomorrow's day 4 and I can't see how I am ever going to make it to level 2! But I noticed I can almost make it through the whole 20 minutes without a break. Those push-ups kill me.
When are you going to shred? During DD's morning naptime. Around 11am.
What's your goal? To loose 15-20lbs. Tone up some and loose this pouch on my belly.
What is your motivation? DH and I want to start TTC in 6 weeks and I don't want to start off with less muscle tone than I had with DD. I will be less likely to be able to loose it after #2 if I don't do something now.
