im a little ahead but did day 10 yesterday! will go for day 11 tomorrow and c25k! thats the plan anyways!
i started on the 12th of june and have missed 4 days (incl today), i dont shred on tues due to zumba and i take one rest day a week! i wanted to do day 11 but my body says no! need a rest!
i have taken some befores but will only share when im done! lol! i will be re-starting round 2 soon as im done so for all those starting a bit later i will be here! however i did notice that one of my tops in a 6 which used to be snug is now quite loose! and my waist band on my shorts are also loose!0 -
I will second the perfect timing. I am new to MFP but I am loving all of the support and motivation. I will be starting 30DS with yall on the 29th. Thanks so much for the initiation of this thread. I will take my measurements and pictures hesitantly but know that I will be happy to see the end results. This thread is going to me my motivation through this process as I need something to keep me honest and on track. We have a vacation planned for August 11th to Garner State park and I am looking forward to wearing a few cute outfits in a smaller size.0

silvery-WOOT!! yup, the 29th, and yup 10 days per level!! don't forget your before pics and measurements!
delana-glad to have you joining...be sure to listen to your body of course!! as far as logging it in MFP, if you don't have a HRM I recommend putting it under circuit training. And for your measurements, I am going with biceps, chest, hips, thighs, and waist. The way that I do it (to ensure that I am being consistent month to month) is measure at the biggest point for my biceps, chest, hips, and thighs, and the smallest point for my waist (ie. my natural waist). I hope this helps?!
abbyy182-welcome only 3 days to start (for most of us)!
LotsOtots-3 days to go!!! I do a lot of walking at work...so I know what you mean!! we are gonna have to just push through for a bit, and get this done!!

I finished day 2, level 1, and I can feel it! I LOVE JILLIAN. I can tell she's going to change my life.0

L1D1 done. I am exhausted and a little light headed but I did it. I took before pics and measurements and cannot wait to see the numbers go down.0

Just wondering what weight dumbbells is everyone using?0

I'm using 3lbs, but this is my first time ever using weights... :P0

Just wondering what weight dumbbells is everyone using?
my weak little arms are only doing 2lbs each! I also have 3 and 5lb weights that I'm hoping to move up to when I actually get some muscle!0 -
What great timing...hubby and I just decided to start tomorrow, so I am up for this challenge!0

equinehugger-alright!! no pain no gain!!
courtneylwatson-way to get it done!! be careful not to overdo it...or you will give up before you are done!!
ElisaRazz-I will be using 3lbs also!! sounds like most people start with 2-3 to ensure that they can keep up with it for the full 30!
mathlete99-welcome, to you and your hubby!! don't forget to do your before pics and measurements!!
AFM-3 days until I start...I have made out my plan...I will be doing the 30DS Sun, Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat. I am taking Tuesday off to do stretching and yoga, with the hopes that it will losen me up a bit for my weigh-ins on Wed!! And I will be adding in 10,000 steps on Sun-Tues(while I am at work)!! So I will for sure get in my 30 outta 35 days...no prob!0 -
I'm using 3lb dumbells as well, they are definately burning me. L1D2 complete (was so sore, surprised I could actually do it)...
Question: Do the muscles ever start to losen back up during the shred (for those of you that have done this or have heard)? My legs are super sore and I am worried that I won't be able to power walk/jog w/ my work lunch exercise partner. I don't want her to suffer for a month because I am too sore to walk w/ her.0 -
Day 8 for me. I know many have said that the hardest day is day 4, but I think my hardest days were the ones that fall on the weekend. It is then that it is easiest to fall off the wagon. I actually made it through my first weekend! I was pretty proud especially considering I had a party and had guests staying at my house. I also will note that I lost 1.1 lb in the first week which I was very happy with considering all of the eating and drinking I did this weekend.
Oh and btw I am using 5lb/8lb dumbbells, but I will note that I have already done P90X so I am still "strong" from that.0 -
I started it last week but then stopped over the weekend. I will join you on Wednesday!
I am alternating between 5 and 8 lb weights.0 -
I love Jillian and have this DVD, but have never used it for 30 days straight. I want to give it a try. I'll start on Wed. Not looking forward to the before pictures!0
