30DS start date 7/25/11 - Who's in?

bobbiedr

I'm going out this weekend and I am going to buy 30DS. I plan on taking measurements in inches and in pounds, along with before & after pictures.

Who wants to start with me on Monday?

smahaney1

I'll start it with you! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and have done it twice. I go to the gym in the evenings but have been wanting to do the 30DS in the mornings.

Hey, I just started! I've only done 2 days so far. Feel free to add me for support! Good luck! It really is challenging, but I love it!

missjaeda

I'm game!!

LimeyTart

Me! I have got to get back into it.

Determined24

I am in maybe I will stick with it now.

I am totally interested in doing a group challenge! Don't wanna sound dumb, but what is 30ds? I'm really excited to do something with mfp friends for support!

I would have loved to have started with you on Monday. It's just I will be doing Day 10 of Level 3 tomorrow. Add me as your friend though if you need support. I would love to be there for you. I will be starting another one of Jillian Michaels workouts on Sunday or Monday. I have 3 to choose from. Ripped in 30, No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I am going to look over each one and then decide which one to do. If one of them is easier than I might re-do the 30 Day Shred as well.

My advice to you...push through the first 3 days. Your legs will be sore but that will pass. I found that Level 1 works the lower body more, Level 2 works more upper body and Level 3 EVERYWHERE.

Stayed focused on your goals and you will succeed. Have fun!

30DS is Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. It's a DVD you can buy at Target or Walmart for about $10. I've been told that you neeed weights, but I'm sure you could use canned food in your pantry if you don't have weights.

I will be starting with 3lb weights.

i started it 2 days back today is my 3rd day....what i would add is do it without weights for the first two days if u have never done anything like this before then gradually add up weights n increase them when u feel soo....u would feel less sore n aches...this is my stratergy because what i feel is instead of skipping a day or two due to aches n pains its better to do it with less or none n wen ur body start to strenthen add weights...hope it ll b helpful to u.....n i do feel pains in my arms n legs but not so intense that i cant work out:)

I've been doing a Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD for a few months. Do you think I'd be good to start with 3lb weights? I'm already used to somewhat lifting weights.

KimMarieMartinez

Ok I'm in! Super excited to get it going and see results!! Good luck mfp pals!

seekimrun

I'm definitely interested! I love Jillian. I did 30DS a few years ago and saw significant changes, but I just haven't had the energy to start again in a long time. My wedding is in two weeks and now seems like a perfect time!

Gessa007

I just bought it aswell so Im in. Feel free to add me anyone who wants to do it also.

whati would say is it depends on how much u can bear it...if u feel u r ok with 3 lb weight u may do so....but if u feel u would b at the point of exhaustion its better to do it without weights for the first couple of days n then start adding on weights better then quitting it in the middle....if u r used to weights it wont b hard for u....or u can do a trial day without weights n start the actual 30 day from the next day with weights ....as i m taking my first two days as trial now:)

I would love to join you all! I started the 30 day shred on Tuesday and LOVE IT!!! Please feel free to add me so we can keep up with each others progress! :glasses:

I'll be on Day 4 today! Have done it in the past but didn't stick to the full 30 days. I did all 3 levels but I only did like 25 days or so. I'm going to try and stick with it this time so this will be good for me!

*phatsoslim....I have the same HRM (Suunto), and I love it!

kaitlynnm10

I'm in! I'm on day 4 of level1 but close enough. I've been alternating days with 30DS & Ripped in 30. I did 30DS in the past and it became a bit too monotonous for me. I'm going to switch things up a bit. 30DS & RI30 are very similar. This will give me a reason not to skip today.

joi1407

I started yesterday, so did day 2 today, but might not be able over the weekend, so I'm in for Monday!

feel free to add me

Kagard11

Yes, yes, yes!!!!! I ordered it at the beginning of the week and I should get it by Monday! Add me if you'd like!

JoBFit

Mine arrived this morning! I can't wait to start it. I am in!!!!!

bobbiedr

I got the DVD yesterday, so I am ready to go! All I gotta do before I start is take my measurements.

MadBabysMama

I have been thinking about starting this ever since I joined MFP (all of 1 week ago, lol). I would like to finally commit to doing it - I have the DVD and the intention, now just need to actually do it!

mmpriemer

I'm down. I have been doing it every once in a while but not everyday. Now I am going to stick to it!! With before and after pics and measurements Just a question to everyone.... What pound hand weights are you all using? I was using 5 pound and it kicked my butt! I am thinking about getting two and working my way up to 5....

bobbiedr

I'll be using 3lb weights. I'm already used to them. Maybe I will work my way to 5pm weights.

MadBabysMama

Finally did Day 1 today, just finished, so I was tired from earlier exercise and because it was 11pm. Still, I got a great workout - wow, my shoulders are TIRED - but I had to modify some of the cardio b/c of tired legs from the elliptical. Does everyone wear shoes on their carpet for this? I didn't feel comfortable doing the jumping jacks without my shoes for some reason, I think I'm going to have to wear shoes next time.

I'm very proud of myself for finally breaking out the disc - many thanks for this group to increase my motivation to start! Good luck to everyone starting out!

megmcclure

I would love to join y'all. I've been doing level 1 on and off for about two weeks but haven't been very consistent with it. This challenge may be just the thing I need to make me stick with the program. Feel free to add me.

futurekilousky

Awesome! I am definitely in! I have had 30DS for a while with a hard time motivating myself but now I will do it! Yay, excited.

ninestoneagain

I'm in too! Am restarting 30 DS today. feel free to add me as a friend anyone!

bobbiedr

Just finished day 1, level 1 of 30DS. Oh my goodness that was hard!

But I'm glad I did it. Just gotta keep up with it.

suzumichan

If its not to late to join I would like to join. :x I have tried doing 30ds but give up after 15 mins. I want to try to finish level 1 but my lungs will not let me.
