About This Blog
- Meet Your Shredheads!
Kristen Chase: I'm not a gym rat or an exercise guru. I was just a mom with a good 20lbs of baby weight left to lose and no motivation or interest in exercising. More about Kristen.
Bill Gookin: I'm a stay-at-home dad constantly struggling with my weight. I've lost 115 pounds but keep finding it again and having to re-lose it. This time I need to keep it off! More about Bill.

Posted by: Ruth | 10/19/2009 at 07:04 AM
Damn, dude. Damn. Very, VERY well done!
Posted by: Goddess in Progress | 10/19/2009 at 08:18 AM
Wow! That's my motivation right there!
Posted by: Erin | 10/19/2009 at 09:35 AM
Wow- looking good! Thanks for the inspiration.
(I love your bangs, too. It almost makes me want to chop mine in my annual "gee, I'd like to have bangs" spree that I spend the rest of the year growing out…)
Posted by: Naomi | 10/19/2009 at 10:26 AM
Man, I wish I could look that good. That is motivation for me to avoid dessert at my lunch meeting today!
Posted by: Jenn | 10/19/2009 at 11:12 AM
Thanks so much! I was having one of those days. I was starting to get a panic attack while running on the treadmill this mornng. I had to slow down, and ultimately started walking way before I was done with my running. I started feeling all discouraged and panicky because the progress has been slow . . . S . . . L . . . O . . . W.
But seeing your picture is great motivation to continue and work hard. I didn't get this overweight overnight, and I am not going to take it off in an afternoon. Thanks for your constant inspiration on this site.
Posted by: Rosa | 10/19/2009 at 11:34 AM
damn you look great!!!
Posted by: Carrie | 10/19/2009 at 11:50 AM
and there ladies and gentlemen is why i so blindly follow the great shredding goddess, Jillian. this works, it really works. i am so thankful for the motivation and accountability the shredheads brings. oh, and, Kristen, you are hot!
Posted by: laura | 10/19/2009 at 12:52 PM
Holy crap...what a difference those bangs make!
;)
You are so motivating it's ridiculous.
Posted by: Bill | 10/19/2009 at 12:59 PM
Yay motivation! I start today! :)
Posted by: Quix | 10/19/2009 at 01:27 PM
Thanks Kristen! This is great motivation for everyone! Loved Laura's comment about following the "great shredding goddess, Jillian." I agree-- it works, it totally works. Started in April at 178, now at 143 pounds at 5'4". I've CONSISTENTLY done the Shred and alternated with running and have had GREAT results. Stick with it! In Jillian's words, "You're strong, you are capable of doing this."
Posted by: Laurie | 10/19/2009 at 01:38 PM
I'm 5'11" - btw. I know folks have been asking about this.
TALL. :)
Posted by: Motherhood Uncensored | 10/19/2009 at 01:48 PM
OK you talked me into it.
Also where are your stretch marks woman? It's SO not fair if you don't have any.
Posted by: Kelly | 10/19/2009 at 01:53 PM
You look fabulous skinny girl! Congrats and so happy for ya. Ok. Now I've got to get my butt to the gym!
Posted by: MotherofBun | 10/19/2009 at 01:57 PM
Holy hell, you look amazing.
Posted by: Sundry | 10/19/2009 at 01:59 PM
Wow! You look amazing! Congratulations on all your hard work.
Posted by: Cookie | 10/19/2009 at 02:19 PM
So proud of you Kristen.
Posted by: RookieMom Heather (body by milo) | 10/19/2009 at 02:55 PM
Wow! I can't wait 2 get to the point your are at now. This post was great motivation!
More shredding isn't looking so bad after all.
Posted by: Vanessa | 10/19/2009 at 03:19 PM
Shut up!!! You look hot. I saw you in February and there's no way you were 182 then!! I'm so inspired. Congrats on 40 lbs!
Posted by: Marie {Make and Takes} | 10/19/2009 at 03:31 PM
WOW you look fantastic!
Yes, Kristen is Tall. and if the theory that 1" equals 5lbs, then Kristen would look 116lbs now for a 5'4" woman.
It's time to eat a samm'ich now! (Just kidding)
Posted by: Isabel @AlphaMom | 10/19/2009 at 03:44 PM
And THAT, my dear, is motivation. Seriously. You look FABULOUS!!
Posted by: Sarah Lena | 10/19/2009 at 04:10 PM
I came over from Twitter - you look absolutely fantastic! Huge congratulations! I've been debating on whether or not to buy this video series. I'm actually kind of scared of it. Adding another item to the list of things that kick my ass on a daily basis is intimidating.

Good grief you slender vixen. Amazing.
Posted by: Petit Elefant | 10/19/2009 at 04:49 PM
