I did it twice a few weeks ago ... and not since. I'm only 7 pounds away from pre-preg weight, but my tummy is so darn flabby! I can button my pants, but not without some massive muffin top. I really don't want to buy new clothes in a larger size before going back to work in a few weeks. </p> <p>How is everyone finding the motivation to stick to it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-647579 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 07:38:56 +0000 travelgirl1 647579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: @HLK208: I'm in! I'm doing it every other day so I gurss it will be like the 60 day shred? Anyway pregnancy was not kind to my joints so I need to ease in gradually but I NEED to get thon for spring :) Day 4 level 1 tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-647502 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:21:54 +0000 HLK208 647502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm back on the 30DS. On day 6/L1. Moving to level 2 Monday, *I think*. I'm hoping to do it every day for the whole month and I'm also running 3 days a week. After just a week, I feel stronger but I'm still sore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-647488 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:55:24 +0000 Beebug 647488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thread revival, I need help/motivation.</p> <p>I stopped 30ds as it got really hard on my knees and the ab stuff in level 2 hurt in a bad way, but I'm not running as much as I should and maybe need to get back at this, how is everyone else doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537935 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:26:26 +0000 Springtime 537935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I feel that way too :( like what's the point here! I bought the DVD and everything and haven't done it once! I'm horrible but I feel like I'm never going to get to where I want to be. My stretchies are awful too, they have faded but definitely noticeable and my stomach is saggy, I don't even think it will ever go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537915 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:54:20 +0000 Boopers 537915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not doing 30DS but I am on week 1 day 3 of Ripped in 30 which so far I love! I've done 30DS and I so far prefer Ripped in 30. </p> <p>Each exercise (strength, cardio, and abs) is only 30 seconds as opposed to 1 full minute. She also has 4 total workouts instead of 3. It feels like more bang for your buck and less days doing each workout (1-4) by the end of the month. </p> <p>I will say the previews for weeks 2-4 look hard so I might change my opinion in a few weeks ;)</p> <p>I am going to post here to help keep me on track because it's a Jillian Michaels DVD and I love her!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537910 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:50:47 +0000 littlek 537910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: thanks! DH works out at the same time so it's nice to have workout buddy.. He renames the exercises so its pretty entertaining...</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I do 6 times a week and run on weekends. That is great your hubby is coming home! I'm sure he will be more than impressed with your weight loss you've been very dedicated. :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537906 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:47:11 +0000 MarieJ 537906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: yay! I hope your date night loving is AMAZING!<br /> I wore a pair of size 5 pre-preg jeans today. Felt so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537900 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:40:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 537900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: You've done it continuously?

That is awesome!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537899 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:40:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 537899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I don't know how you feel about trying creams but I saw this product on the Mama Mio site:<br /> <a href="http://www.mamamio.com/us/body/goodbye-stretch-marks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamamio.com/us/body/goodbye-stretch-marks.html</a></p> <p>I used their products my whole pregnancy and I truly believe they work:) I actually just ordered this from them and I can't wait for it to come in:<br /> <a href="http://www.mamamio.com/us/pregnancy/get-your-body-back/get-waisted-body-shaper.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamamio.com/us/pregnancy/get-your-body-back/get-waisted-body-shaper.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537897 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:36:08 +0000 MarieJ 537897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: great job!

So I've got just a couple of lbs to get to my prepreg weight and I'm hoping to lose a few more. I'd like to lose 7 more lbs total. I've been eating paleo also and I think that really helps. I really feel confident that if I keep that up, that I'll be at my goal weight in a few weeks or so.</p> <p>Yes! DH comes home tomorrow and I'm pretty excited to show him my results! I haven't told him that I've lost any weight at all;). I've just never mentioned it...He bought me new jeans for Xmas in my prepreg size (I had asked for them as incentive) and I am going to wear them tomorrow to pick him up (with a new top and some sexy new mega high heels!)...I'm still not where I want o be but I feel like I'm getting there and that I WILL get there soon enough! I am also getting my hair colored and cut tomorrow and a mani/pedi, so hopefully by this time tomorrow, I will have exited Frumpville!!!</p> <p>Oh yeah, it is understood that tomorrow night is first night of PP lovin', lol;). I'm excited to get all dolled up for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537892 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:28:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 537892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: they have faded a little bit in that they're not flaming red or deep pupe, they're more whitish. But I think that's the best I'm gonna get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537891 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:27:44 +0000 littlek 537891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't noticed weight loss but I'm definitely toning up and my clothes are fitting better. I need to work on my diet next. Work has been awful so im hoping with my new job I will be less stressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537887 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:25:31 +0000 littlek 537887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on week 3 day 3 of the shred! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537882 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:21:49 +0000 MarieJ 537882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: can you do the walking push-ups? I can't even do a regular push-up so level 2 will not be my friend for sure! How much weight have you lost if you don't mind me asking?</p> <p>ETA: your hubby comes home tomorrow :) I know you're excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537876 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:18:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 537876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: I am still here:). I have been doing it about 4-5x a wk, depending on H's nap length. I've been doing level 2 about a week or so and I have definitely felt stronger in abs since starting it but it really sucked the first couple of times. </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I always read on here that stretch marks fade...Do you think yours may since you're still less than a year PP? I am sorry they make you feel awful:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537867 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:10:59 +0000 Beebug 537867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone else experienced insane pain through their abs after completing Level two? I loved the workout, but I honestly don't think I should do it again for a while. I love being post-workout sore, but this was legit pain (especially through lower abs) that I have never felt before and it definitely didn't feel "right". I worked out, was what I thought was workout sore one and two days after, then one day three when I got to do it again, it was a sore that wasn't workout sore, it doesn't feel right..... </p> <p>Wondering if it's post-preg belly out of shapeness beyond normal out of shapeness? I feel like I should be careful! Those walk out push ups were k-i-l-l-e-r. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537862 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:07:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 537862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: yeah it was the same here! I lost an additional 5 lbs and that allowed me to fit into my regular size. Only took about 10 months even though I lost the baby weight by 6 months!!<br /> I want to tone up though just cause it would help my clothes fit a lot better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537835 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:53:31 +0000 MarieJ 537835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: oh ok, I get it now. Toning up is good too...that's the main thing I'd like to accomplish. Isn't it weird how pregnancy changes everything? My shape is so different now &amp; so to fit my pre-preg clothes how I would like, I'd need to be at least 5-10 lbs under my pre-preg weight. That's so crazy to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537822 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:46:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 537822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: I definitely have A LOT of respect for my body and what it went through to bring life into this world- that's an amazing feat!</p> <p>I guess what's SO depressing is that I know not ALL moms get stretch marks and go through the same thing, you know? My stomach is literally covered from hip to hip, from my pubis to above my belly button! they're bad. So it's not something that "only I notice" it's pretty obvious. So yeah - no bikini for me! haha. I lost all the baby weight a lot time ago but I'd love to lost another 10-15 lbs. I don't have to - I'm a healthy weight now - but it'd be nice to. Or at least tone up. I'd LOVE to get a personal trainer for a couple months and work on toning, but sadly it's not something we can afford right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537808 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:40:15 +0000 MarieJ 537808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I know how you feel :( I was in such good shape before pregnancy &amp; now, I feel like my body is just blah. We have to remember that we are our worst critics &amp; we see &amp; notice things that no one else does/will. I bet if you did the workout &amp; started seeing results, you'd be so stoked! I have stretch marks too, but this summer, I'm putting on my bikini &amp; I'm letting my stretch marks say hello to the world. We have to remind ourselves that We sacrificed our bodies for our babies :) it was all worth it! We can be hot moms! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537798 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:35:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 537798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm totally missing being a part of this thread!!! but I just rented the DVD from the library. I need to buy it! I'm in total denial about my stomach though. It's hard knowing that I'll never be in a bikini again because of the sheer amount of stretch marks I got - so I tell myself it's not even worth it to lose anymore weight or tone up... even though I want to. my body is just so depressing and I struggle with hating myself so badly now. I am not a vain person but it's hard to go 22 years actually liking your body, like being happy with it and then having it just gone. you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-537789 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:28:23 +0000 MarieJ 537789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone still shredding? I started back tonight. Kicked my ass! I tried to do level 2 since I have been slacking for like 2 weeks &amp; that was a no go. What the hell is a walking push up? I can't even do a normal push-up let alone a walking one! Right back to level 1 I went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-524292 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:21:35 +0000 littlek 524292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night was Week 2 Day 3. How is everyone else doing?? Do you dislike Jillian? She is not my BFF. Oh and I hate mountain climbers with a passion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-519141 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:14:55 +0000 Beebug 519141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: No, I honestly feel like I have a bigger tummy now. It doesn't make any sense! I feel like I am working decently hard! DH says he noticed my arms are more toned, but I'm not yet noticing better tone or fit, still have a dirty muffin top, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-519128 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:07:05 +0000 littlek 519128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: Do you feel more toned though? I haven't seen much weight change but my clothes fit loser and I feel better about myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-519124 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:05:03 +0000 futuremama 519124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed two days this week, but we leave for vacation on Friday, so I need to finish strong. I do feel that I'm more toned, especially my upper body and abs. In fortunately, baby bloat is starting to kick in at 6w 4d, so my tummy is far from flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-519115 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:01:43 +0000 Beebug 519115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did L2 for the 1st time Sunday and am still sore! Going to go again today if LO co-operates!</p> <p>I weighed myself last week and am same weight as 6w pp, totally discouraging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shredders/page/3#post-519102 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:54:14 +0000 Weagle 519102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've fallen off the wagon... Hard. Eek! We've had a friend staying with us since Thursday, so I haven't done anything since then. Hoping that I'll still be able to do week 2 when I pick it back up tonight. </p>
