The 30ds is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. You do 10 days of each level and cuss at her through the process. lol

Aw, I want to play but I have no idea what this 30 day shred is. Maybe I can join the next one. Good luck everybody.

YAY!! I've started on Level 1 since I won't be doing it 7 days a week, not as hard this time around and I'm hoping I can stick through all the way this go 'round :grumble:

looking forward to shredding like crazy with everyone AND getting to comiserate over our collective frustration/hatred of JM :laugh:

Its a popular video workout by Jillian Michaels. Depending on where you live (i.e. in the US) you might be able to pick it up at a local Target or Walmart for $9 or $10. That and a couple hand weights and 28 mins a day is all you need. If you can find the dvd, you should def consider joining in :flowerforyou:

modernsoul

Ah the wonders of the internet. I just ordred the 30 day shred so as long as it gets here by Saturday I'm in. What do I do now?:laugh:

modernsoul

I ordered it. Thanks.

I've never made it past level 1, so I'm really excited for this challenge!

thistleandfi

@modernsoul - just saw that, YAY!!

@lalabear88 - so glad there is someone in the same boat as myself - determined to leave level 1 behind in the dust this time.

alexisdc

I am too freaking about the pics, lol. But I feel like it will give me a good look at the progress I make. I am still debating to join in. I am a first time MFP'er

Meghan0116

@ alexisdc
Don't debate, do it! This really seems like a great group of people to start this with. Imagine us in 30 days and how we will feel.

@asarcasticsmile
I didn't make it past 2 days last time. Not because I couldn't do it but because she annoyed me and I went on to a different video. lol BUT, I remember thinking holy moly, how can I do a month of this. lol

theburnetts1

amen to the cussing :P

I did 1 Day and had to stop because got SUPER sick with 10 days on antibiotic.... But I am DETERMINED to see it through this time.

Those 28 mins were more torture for me because she sounded silly sometimes. And I was like - lady, do you realize I can just MUTE you with this remote control in my hand ?!? LOL

Let's see if I can put up with it now..... Maybe I will just pass out from the sheer effort and ringing in my ears....

aqua_zumba_fan

Ooh I'd love to join please I tried this a couple of months ago but got halfway through and hurt my wrist! Second time lucky I hope

catrojas

I'm in, just gotta go get the DVD. PLEASE JILLIAN TAKE MY THIGHS!!!!

thistleandfi

@alexisdc - oh i hope you decide to join in! i think we have a great support group shaping up here

@meghan - lawds, i made it 5 or 6 days my first time and then i went on vacation and i got sick... so i stalled. i also remember how much my hamstrings & quads freaking hurt after the first day & was in no hurry to potentially repeat that again anytime soon. but i suppose now's the time yes?

@daniellesb1 - i feel you. i have to consciously block her out sometimes. and that music, omgggg. i tried putting on my own mix with JM on mute but didn't have the routine down enough to keep in-sync. hopefully there will be NO passing out for any of us lol.


i just skimmed level 2 today to see how different it was. UM, yeah. K. :huh: hoping the 10 days at L1 really prepares you physically.

Hi, can i join please!!!! i have been waiting for my dvd for ages now and it arrived today. I'll post my measurements tomorrow if its ok with you. Thanks

mhainlen52

OOOoooohhhh....me, me, me!!! Pick me!

catbrand

Count me in!! I've had the DVD for a couple of weeks and need to get started with it. Only trouble is starting on a saturday which is a busy work day for me so I will be exhausted lol, but never mind, it will be good to have the support! I've ordered some weights, I hope they're here on time, if not I've got some wrist weights I can hold instead.

Good luck everyone!!

partonsara

Meghan thanks for adding me to the spreadsheet! I might have missed it somewhere but SM is starting measurements....but of what, there is only one cell?

amber11132122

Is it too late to get in? Photobucket is a great idea as my phone will not allow to post pics to this site.

Looking forward to getting started

SkinnierHealthierMe

Oh poop. I don't have this video. Hopefully I can find it Friday so I can start Saturday! If I can't, then I'll just have to try next time!

Meghan0116

I am so excited about all the people who have joined!!!! I will do a FAQ in the next post if that might help.

Meghan0116

1. When are we starting?
Saturday. October 1st

2. How long?
Until October 30th

3. What exactly are we doing?
Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred

4. What if I don't get the dvd in time?
Start with us when you can, we will be a support system regardless.

5. What about before and after pictures?
It is your choice to take before/after pictures but it is a really good way to gauge body changes when the scale doesn't reflect much. Please upload to www.photobucket.com. Message me for the login information.

6. Measurements?
You can add your weekly weigh in and measurements to the spreadsheet posted on the first page of this thread. Measure bust, hips, waist, upper arms, thighs, calves (if you want), and neck. You can enter them all in the same cell on the spreadsheet.

7. Are you sure I can do this?
I am positive you can do this!!!

apertuis

I can't wait to start!! I may miss a few Saturdays (LSU Football tailgating ) but will try to make it up.
