New 30 day shred group!!! ALL WELCOME!!! :o)

melgibson

I would like to join this group as well. I have struggled in the last few months and I think this should get me back on track.
Are you just planning on doing 30DS or will you be adding cardio as well?
Are we taking measurements? and weight?

Hi there!! :flowerforyou:

WELCOME!!

I will be logging my weight and measurements on day 1 - 17th October.
I will also be putting down my exercise plan.
This is to make me be accountable to daily exercise. I love the shred and since I have done 3 non stop 30 days already I KNOW I can fit this in no matter what.
SO that is perfect for me to commit to.
I will also be running 3 times a week and doing 5 ab/arm workouts as well as these are areas I need to pay attention to.

Everyone is free to add extra cardio or other exercises to their weekly plans if they feel they would like to, just list that in your first post, on the 17th oct.
I will also be following a sensible eating plan and keeping under my MFP daily allowance to hopefully give me a great plan for 30 days, I hope I will lose a couple of inches and swap some fat for muscle but I doubt I will lose actual weight.
For me it's about toning up and swapping fat for muscle as I'm already a low weight.

We all need to tailor this to our own personal needs so if you would like to add extra cardio weekly then please do.
If the shred daily is enough then stop at that and we will support each person the way they need it, it's all about being accountable for our goals, we can be flexible to each persons needs. With one common goal... 30DS!!!! :flowerforyou:

I will write a new topic page on sunday16th / monday 17th for us all to check into and log our goals for that month, if we wish to add our weight and measurements then we can and if not no worries.
I willl be but some may like to keep it simple.
Each to their own, whatever whatever we will shred together!! :drinker:

Ok, count me in. I started the shred once and quit after a couple of days. I just couldn't do it! I couldn't make it through the jumping jacks, the crunches, the push-ups, nothing. Anyway, I started C25K (will start week 4 on Friday) and attempted the shred again the other day and could actually keep up with them on the cardio! That was two days ago, I haven't touched it since. I SO need someone pushing me to keep going.

Well you have come to the right place!!

I have completed the C25K!!

It is awesome and the very plan that got me running again after years out of it, I will support you with both the running and the shred.

I have done the shred non stop for 30 days 3 times!!

I know you can do this.. the jumping jack is the hardest part so now your doing that you CAN DO THIS!!!

Welcome on board, we will be wicked!! See you monday!!

BTW I will be combining the shred with 3 runs per week and 5 ab/arm workouts so we will be doing a very similar plan!!

LETS DO IT!!!

melgibson

Count me in DVD ordered and I already have some weights etc so should be good to go by the 17th!

YAY!!! Great to have you with us! Love your picture btw!!!

See you monday!!

melgibson

Hey All Count me in please. I just started on 10/11/11

Whooop!!! Great to have you with us!!!

I guess you'll be doing some extra days!! This is excellent, well done you xx

melgibson

I'm in! Started already-day #4. Did my measurements. I love that I get a good workout in 20mins. Sometimes I get on the treadmill afterward, just because!

I like to get on my bike for 15-20 min after for a little extra

I think the shred plus extra cardio is a fab combo!! Well done ladies :flowerforyou:

melgibson

New to MFP, but would love to join in. I need to start somewhere, and this can be it.

Tabitha

You have come to the right place!!!

Have you got your copy of the DVD?

We are starting on monday 17th October, let me know if you need any detail, I will help all I can

melgibson

Count me in! Just finished P90X Lean and looking for something new....

Can't wait to get started!! I guess this will be easy after the P90X!!!

Fair play for completing it!! :happy:

melgibson

So yesterday I did my second day of 30DS and it was horrible how sore I felt! I decided to give myself a break from it today and I'm planning on going to the gym to do the elliptical for a while instead. I will probably still do some abs and push ups. I'm so psyched about my results so far though! I already see a bit of abs peaking out from my tummy :bigsmile: Sooo happy to finally be getting back into shape!

I think after I'm done with the first 10 days of 30DS, I am going to reward myself with a new dress!!! :drinker: I've been meaning to go to Charlotte Russe for a long time and I have a 10% off coupon now! Nothing like a nice reward after working hard!

What about you guys? What do you reward yourself with??

I love this... And yes your so right, we should all reward ourselves with a new thing... NOT FOOD RELATED!!!

I have seen some super cool black shorts with sparkly bits, I would love to wear them NYE if my legs are good enough!!!
I might well try them on after a week of shredding!!
This could be my reward and thing to work towards!!

Thanks for logging in and updating us, great to see your still at it!!

melgibson

Count me in too please!!! I am going to start it on 17th.. I started it summer but couldn't complete it ...please I need some support and motivation from everybody

Hi Guys,

What an excellent group of Shredders!!! Im going to jump on in with you all. Today was my second day so I am a couple of days early but would love to jump in on all the group support.

I have 3 events (Racing Carnival, Dance Recital and Black Tie Gala ball) All within the next 30 days. Whilst I won't be finished and entirely "Shredded" before going to them all I am positive that all the exercise and endorphins will make sure I feel fantastic at all of them.

Good luck to all, and thanks Mel for getting this group going. Its fantastic!!

melgibson

Please cont me in...I haven't used the 30 day shred yet, but it looks like alot of people on MFP use it. Is there more than one version? I'm going to have to purchase the DVD! Thanks, looking forward to it!

There is onnly one DVD called 30 day shred, been released several times and has some different covers but I believe the content is the same whatever one you buy..
I hope you will have your copy for monday, we start on the 17th of october, if your a little late don;'t worry there are some who won;t get their copy til late and I will continue with those who run over so we are still doing it together, I can do it for 40 days if need be!!

Thanks for signing up with me :flowerforyou:

melgibson

Hi, Im also starting as soon as my DVD arrives. I have one question though, how do I log calories into the diary??

Hi there!!

Thanks for joining us!!

I have written my own exercise for the shred, 30DS, then can just tick and add it daily.
I used circuit training to calculate my calories burned, that seems to be what most log it as.
I have a HRM and it worked out near enough perfectly so I think that is a safe amount to estimate.

Any questions just let us know :flowerforyou:

melgibson

Hi, my husband and I would like to join in. What do we need to do? Carla and Mike

cralder58

What video do we need to get? Do we track our calories and weight loss somehow?

melgibson

Hi, my husband and I would like to join in. What do we need to do? Carla and Mike

Welcome!!

You will need to buy your copy of the 30 day shred DVD, you can get this cheaply on the internet.
you will also need hand weights and a mat if you exercise on a hard floor.
This is all you will need.

You can follow your MFP guide for food allowances and log in daily, keeping under these calories should be suitable for use with the shred DVD, it's an excellent plan and I hope you will both join us!! We are a massive support group and you shall do very well here if you stick with us!! :flowerforyou:

melgibson

What video do we need to get? Do we track our calories and weight loss somehow?

Buy a copy of '' JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED DVD''

You'll also need hand weights and a mat if your exercise area is not carpeted.

This is all you will need for this challenge.

You can set up daily allowance here at my fitness pal and chart your foods and drinks daily, this is perfect for tracking your calories and monitoring your progress.
Many of us will be logging our start weight and measurements of day 1 - 17th of October but this is optional.
As long as you do the 30 day shred dvd for 30 days you can join us!!

I hope you will :flowerforyou:

Love it! Count me in! I have the dvd already and tried to go through it but stopped due to some crazy stress (We just moved our lil family all the way from Washinton state to Texas two weeks ago! ) I've been dabbling in different workouts but was considering restarting this one!

Looking forward to knowing there's other folks out there sweating through it with me! :drinker:

Hi I would love to join. It really helps to be part of challenge with others.

I've done P90X in the past it was amazing, didn't finish it because an hour a day was too much for me to commit to. I can't wait to start! How do we know what level we should start?

toque_de_miel

Hey everyone! I'd love to be part of this group! I've had it on my computer and the weights needed for quite some time but our computer went down and i didn't have a chance to burn it before now -- I was planning to start this on the tomorrow, the 15th, because I'm kind of OCD about starting it on either the beginning of a month or the middle of a month but I'd love to be part of this anyway!! I'm also over halfway thru C25K right now so I probably will really struggle with the strength training part of the dvd... and will need motivation!


So.... sign me up?

lakeyaj

Hi Everyone. Please count me in. I have had the 30 day Shred DVD for almost 6 months now (unopened). I get intimidated when it comes to working out, because I know I give up to easily. I will usually start a fitness program (such as a gym membership) and then never go again after the first few visits. However I have recently started Jillian's other DVD Shred it with Weights and have started to see some results. I would love to start the 30 day Shred on Monday; and being a part of a group will keep me motivated and make me more accountable to stick with the program. Please sign me up. :happy:
