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!

    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!

    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?

    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 =)

    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)

    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?

    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! :)
