30 Day Shred Starting 08/22/11

CandyR1018

Hello, after reading everyone's post, I've decided to dig through the DVD shelf, find and probably remove mounds of dust from my copy of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I've had it for least a year and done maybe 2 days worth? Anyway, is anyone interested in starting with me. I figured I would wait till Monday as we are going to the lake this weekend and that would give some of you who have been contemplating 30DS time to go to target, walmart or Amazon to get it.

With that being said, I've never lead a group before so have no clue how to start in that respect if anyone wants to take over the leadership or can guide me through organizing how we should begin? I just need the accountability!

I m waiting for mine to come in the mail, i hope it gets here today- that gives me 6/10 lvl 1 days until I go back to school on the 23 (not that I am going to stop, i just wanted to do lose as much as possible before I went back lol-vanity)

SDMHudson started this challenge, too. Hers starts on Monday. I guess I could be a part of both lots and lots of encouragement for the Shred would be good.

I went through 30 DS for about 21 days. Level 3 was just too much for my joints to handle. I am up for going back to the beginning though and trying again!!!! I"M IN! Sorry tos ay I won't be much help as far as handling a group on MFP. As the leader, you would jsut keep a list of members of the group, decide if you want it open to anyone at anytime or Close it ( I would suggest closed since there is a start date), decide if you want a certain amount of members or you don't care. We could set goals for ourselves. We could list starting weghts and I recommend inches as well. Decide if you want to do weekly weigh ins or do a weigh in at the end to see the results. Just some things I've done in other groups, though was never the leader!

Hi there I was supposed to be in a 30 day shred challenge this month but have only managed 2 days so would love to join your group please, I have never organised one before but I am sure together we can muddle through

Hi,
I can start on the 22nd as well .... I'm excited!! I usually only making it threw halfway every time I start because I usually have no accountability. Lets stay motivated folks!!

Hi, I would love to join. I have the dvd and was watching it last night. Monday would be a good day to start for me.

kelseytanking

Definitely!

Looks like we've got a pretty good group started.

How about we weigh/measure every monday and post the results as well as any comments about the week and any NSV (non scale victories) such as clothes fitting better, not wanting that second piece of (insert tempting food here), or your significant other noticed your *kitten* being tighter or lifted or whatever (LOL).

I would love to join too please. I started doing it back in June/July and got to about day 12 but a stomach bug struck the whole family twice during July and I gave up. It gave great results over those few days but after eating whatever I like for the past few weeks I'm back to square one so I could do with the support too x

Hi... can I ask, what sort of exercises are involved with SHRED?

dusk1977

Hi... can I ask, what sort of exercises are involved with SHRED?

Hi there, it is a exercise DVD called 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels, it is basically circuit training - 3 minutes of strength moves (with weights) 2 minutes of cardio (star jumps, punching, imaginary skipping etc.) and 1 minute of abs work (sits up crunches etc.) It is split up quite well so you don't get board and is intensive. Hope this helps.


Great idea, I am up for weighing/measuring on a Monday with NSVs :happy:

Thanks! It sounds good. What sort of calories does it burn and how heavy do the weights need to be? I understand it would depend but approx?

Appreciate the feedback

statia152

Log it under circuit training and I use the large peanut butter jars as my weights. I am 233 and I burn about 285 in 25 minutes (I do 5 extra minutes of cardio)

I would love to join as well! 30DS here we come!!

Hi, I would love to start as well. I had planned on purchasing the DVD this upcoming weekend after reading so many posts about it. I think it will work perfectly for me because I can always fit in 20 min. to exercised during the day. I am excited!! So you need weights with this right? Better pick some of those up when I pick up the DVD. This is probably available at like Target right?

Thankilates

Hi guys! I'm ready to start with you! Like many, i have had this dvd and used it on and off. What I'm hoping i that with a group I can get going with working out again and get my diet back on track where it needs to be.

I KNOW what I need to do, but now it's time to do it!

It's also online on youtube with a playlist so it keeps going and you don't need to continually hit the play button every 10 minutes. All parts are there I believe. At least level 1 for sure though!

I saw it at our target yesterday for less than $10. I think she recommends 2 - 5 pound weights and a mat if you don't have padded carpet to do the dvd on. I've heard of people using 20oz coke bottles, jars, etc filled with water if you don't want to buy weights.

I was planning on starting 30 Day Shred on Monday, so I would love to be part of the group! I have tried this program before but was not able to finish and took many breaks. I am looking forward to starting over and hoping to complete the entire program this time. I am not sure I can do this for 30 days in a row but I am willing to give it my best shot! :happy:

Thankilates

Hi guys! Well, I am READY to rock this challenge!

It sounds like we are all motivated and ready so I look forward to sharing our ups and downs together and being an inspiration!

I was talking to my best friend and my husband about this and they are going to do it with me! I told them to sign up on the forums, but they get nervous for some reason. Just happy to have a community to do this with!

P.S. What are your weight loss goals for this 30 days? Do you guys do measurements? I do measurements every 1st of the month, but will do them again on monday so I have a good starting point. I am hoping to lose 10 pounds this month. I. can. Do. It!

adsandve

Whoohoo!

I need some accountability too. If I know I have to "report" to someone(s), I'm more likely to do it.

Looking forward to it!

Keisha604

Would love to join you guys! I did the Shred back in June and lost 7lbs! Hope to see the same results again. )

agugino

Count me in! I'm excited.

shannon877

I'm in... I'm actually going to start one day early, but I have to take Tuesdays and Thursdays off.

gemwho2

Hey

I'm in if that's ok? I completed the Shred earlier this year and loved it. Just need the motivation of a group to keep me going.
I'll be on nightshift so will do my best to squeeze it in before work
