I was that way after a bootcamp last week. I've had some luck lately just watching my calories. Good luck on the shred.

I'm not familiar with that workout, but Jillian Michaels seems like she could sure put a hurtin' on you. I'm pretty scared of her! The soreness will probably pass in a couple of days, though, and then you can just go on more easily. Hang in there!

8 weeks before caribean vacation. Why do I care? But I do. Same old bathing suits and vacation apparel. Exercise is on target, so it must be the food!?!? DH is away on business this week...lentils, beans, workouts...LOL!

Good for you! Something must be in the air! I'm going in for my third out of four orientation sessions at a gym next to my office. I'm hoping to be "shredded" by the time my current contract ends in two months! Ha ha--who am I kidding. I'm just hoping to have a little more breathing room in my jeans. Great to know that someone else is suffering along with me

I have Jillian's Shred videos. I could barely walk after I did them. I need to do them again. She has some that are 20 minutes. Now if I can't do 20 mins what is wrong with me?

That sounds pretty gruelling AG, but good for you for taking things in hand. You and Diane are inspiring me to shift some of the post-Christmas weight, but I think I'll pass on that video!

Sounds great Una - I think I have one of her videos but I usually just resort back to weight lifting since it's what I know and I can see results usually within a short time. I should do more cardio though, just for general health. Once I tried a pretty ambitious Zumba video workout and OMG that night I swear I had heart palpitations! I was afraid to keep it up.

That Shred video is ridiculous. She is a b*7ch, isn't she? lol. Good luck, and keep up the hard work !

I'm so glad others found this difficult. I'm not in horrible shape so I was stunned at how wretchedly sore I was after just 20 minutes in my own living room. I took a break yesterday and went climbing instead which helped loosen me up a bit. I had better see some results of sticking with this chick!

I feel your pain. I have a Jillian Michaels video although it's not the 30-day Shred one. I only do a half at a time because otherwise it makes me too sore.

Does she say you should do the video every day for 30 days? The fact that it's called "Shred" tells you something, doesn't it?

Ideally 30 days in a row but that seems like it's asking for injuries, so I am mixing it up and aiming for 4 times a week.

Good for you. I'd be hospitialized.

It stinks when you're the cook for a bunch of males that can eat 3 times what you can and not gain a pound. My downfall is trying to keep up with them.

I'm a fan of Leslie Sansone, especially now that OA affects me so badly. I can manage to get through her workouts without tearing myself up.

Oh, DH could stand to lose some pounds but he is tall and carries it well. If he made even a small change or two the weight would fall off. DS is 12 and needs constant feeding. Sigh.

I already took my Caribbean vacation, gained a little, and having a hard time getting it back off. Leslie and I have been doing a lot of walking.

I've done the 30 day shred a few times with the same results. I'd go to stand up from my desk and almost fall over. I do love that it's 30 minutes and the workouts are simple. I don't have to learn dance moves!! If I ever get around to working out again I'll dust off my copy.

I did it yesterday and actually didn't die. If you can just go into autopilot mode it's over pretty quickly!

Oh, doesn't it piss you off the way men can just cut out bread for a week and drop like 15 lbs? My husband is very tall and lanky and can lose weight so easily. And he thinks he's being helpful when he tells me what works for him. Sigh.

I am feeling the lack of running and cycling activity with our recent snow. Oh, and 10 days in Mexico with margaritas and guacamole every day didn't exactly help. I need a shred video too. :-/

Janet, it is true - but I also notice that men have much less willpower, maybe to make up for it?

I am forcing myself to do this video just because I need to see if I can make a difference. I don't enjoy it at all - I much prefer doing actual activity like hiking or skiing - but I'm trying to think of it like taking a vitamin, just do it and be done.

Janet, my DH tells me what works for him, too. It makes me want to knock him into next week, lol.
