    My official weigh-in is tomorrow, so I'll post my stats then, if that's okay. Day 1 today, but I'll be taking it a little easy because I just got a tattoo yesterday, so my side is still a bit tender. I'll do all that I can though!!! :)

    Day 1 is done! It's been awhile since I did this video and I forgot how tiring it really is. I sent in my measurements but my starting weight this morning is 156.

    I am proud to say that I have finished day 1. AND I did 20 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 afterwards. I'm extremely impressed with the fact that I was able to do all (modified) push-ups, and the lateral lunge/arm raise thingie with 2lb weights. I have a pacemaker and so that side of my chest is pretty weak. Not as weak as it was though, apparently!

    I'm in! I just started this morning! It wasn't as difficult as I thought, but the cardio part was though! And I did it with 3 pounds weight, I want to use my 5 pounds soon :)
    Let's go!

    Ow! Just finished first day of 30 day shred...that was hard!

    My calves are burning like crazy and I had a really difficult time doing jumping jacks since I am so large-busted, any tips/suggestions?

    sw: 144.0
    Bust: 37
    underbust:31
    waist: 29

    I started this yesterday! Does that count :smile:

    I took my measurements, but won't be able to post them until I get home. But I STRUGGLED through the first day, my knees and quads are killing me! Hoping it'll all be worth it though!

    40.0 chest (bust)

    one stat i wish i would have done before was a measurement right at the belly button... also, be sure to use the tape and measure a certain length from a given point each time for a more accurate result... ex. for arms, measure 3 inches up from the elbow crease... this way you're measuring the exact same spot every time!

    First day down, I wanted to cry at 6 minutes! I persevered, and made it all the way - woot woot!

    I used 2 pound weights, and hope to get my 3 pounders in the mail any day now. I did the modified pushups and but kicks.. The thing that hurt the must was the jumping jacks! When she said to go to the mat for abwork, I was like, YES!!!!!!!!!

    And, I soaked my shirt in sweat!!!!!!!!!

    Well done guys!! It gets easier!

    I just did day 1, I had a mix of 3lb and 5lb weights. Like most I did push ups on my knees. The side bends and arm raises are te worst part for me! Love the abs exercises tho!
    My 8 year old son did it with me bless him! He had 1lb weights! Not that he needs to exercise he's a bag of bones!
    I did a 4mile run this morning as well so hoping I'll get some nice results, if i can get enough exercise in! We shall see I suppose!
    Good luck for tomorrow!!

    Just finished L1D1 of the Shred :bigsmile:

    Man it was a workout! I was breathing hard and sweating! I started out using 3lb weights and then decided not to use any weights at all. Hopefully by day 4 or 5 I can start using my weights again.

    M.:heart:

    Day 1 is done. I am disappointed in how few cals I burned, but I am happy that it is WAY easier than when I first bought it.

    Am I supposed to send in measurements too? If so, I can cut and paste them.

    Thanks!!

    I'm so glad we're in this together! I started 30ds a month or so ago and stopped after day 6 or 7 just cuz I started doing other workouts too. I'm sad I quit because that is just proof of my usual workout cycle Full mode and than quit. So I'm glad I'm here and starting over again with all of you! I did it of course with knee push ups, but I was able to get through the rest pretty well and was pretty sweaty by the end!

    woo hoo day one complete!

    i burned more calories i think than what i put it in as, but id rather underestimate than over!

    i also did pushups on my knees, and on the side lunges skipped the arms a couple times.....that one just kills me......i love the punches though, great core and heart rate exercise!

    im wondering if im the only one that does this, but i play 30ds on my laptop and watch a dvd of a show i like on the tv in the background. according to by bodybugg, it doesnt seem to really change my calories burned (actually a slight increase as opposed to not watching tv). i think it helps me to focus more on something else on the TV rather than "omg i have 23 more seconds left of this effin exercise", esp when you're on day 5 or so of the same stuff

    day 2 done! :)
    found it harder today as i was really tired... but i saw it through, although i dont think i put 100% effort in, prob about 70%!!
    but i did the whole workout so that is a good thing
    keep up the good work :)

    Everyone is doing soo great. I'm happy for all of you or us :) I also modify some of the moves but we will get there I'm sure. I'll post the spread sheet tomorrow so if you didn't send your measuraments yet please do it :) Also some of you didn't send me all of your measuraments so when I post it tomorrow if you could just message me whatever is missing that would be great :) Thank you for being here and doing this with me :)

    I just joined MFP yesterday but I would love to join in on your 30 DS challenge for August. I was in bed last night and was thinking that I would love to start back up on 30 DS. A day late but better than nothing. Thanks!

    I had some extra time this morning so I finished the spread sheet and I'm going to open another topic as a closed group with the starting stats. We can all follow the new post. Thanks :)

    I do the reverse! LOL I watch netflix on my laptop(or my iphone if I'm down on the machines exercising) and have the dvd on the tv. Glad I'm not the only one!
