Hi All,

I really need the support when it comes to exercise lately... Just cant seem to get the will to do it. So hopefully being part of this group will help. Accountability always helps! Will start the 1st

I am starting on the 1st of December :-). I also have 6w6p so I am thinking of mixing that in as well

JediMaster_intraining

i'm starting on the 1st! I'll probably incorporate some other workouts in as well. it seems these last 13 pounds are getting stubborn!

Just bought it on eBay last night! Should be here in a few days and that's when I'll start it!...cannot wait to shed the pounds

Day 1 started this morning, not yesterday as previously posted.

As for measurements, my chest appears to be 50 inches. But along with arm and thigh measurements, I keep getting different numbers depending on how I hold the tape measure, if I move slightly, etc. Since I can't be sure I'll measure everything the same way at the end, I'll just stick with what I'm already tracking here on MyFitnessPal:

-Neck: 17
-Waist: 50
-Hips: 50

I did take some starting pictures, though. Not my best, by far. They are definitely a good reality check, though, and seeing them makes me glad I'm doing this challenge.

And thankful for this whole MyFitnessPal site and community.

I'm starting tomorrow. I lost about 55 pounds in 2010 but have been trying (unsuccessfully) to lose a final 10 for almost a year now! I have a cruise at the end of December so I'm hoping you all can help me stay on track and be accountable. I exercise a lot already (8 hours a week between cardio and strength training), but I've heard great things about 30 day shred and love the idea of everybody supporting each other. Thanks!

So glad everyone is here!!
Welcome! And get excited for our results!!

Today is my last day on my first shred, I'll restart on the 1st, but I'm planning on mixing up the levels a bit now. I did level 1, 2, and 3 for ten days each, I might switch levels every couple days this time to keep it interesting. I think I'm going to add more cardio too, I found a "sweating to the 80's" on Amazon and it looks fun. I took measurements on November 1st, will measure again tonight and see what's changed. Those will be my new starting point for December. Also, I didn't take pictures last time, but I wish I did so I'll take those tonight too (please excuse the rolls/stretch marks :sad: )

Starting on the 1st

I'm starting on the 1st. Got my DVD from Target yesterday, $10. Will post measurements tomorrow too. Anyone have suggestions for the best time to do this workout?? Work schedule 8:30-5:30 M-F with 1 hour lunch makes it hard!!! ;-( Looking forward to being "shred" in 30 days!!!

neesh200

Going to get the dvd today and start tomorrow!!!

digitalsinner

My plan is to start tomorrow, the 1st. I've been laid out sick though, so we'll see how that goes.

I do most of my exerise at 5 am and since this DVD is only 25 minutes you probably wouldn't have to get up quite so early. I work from 7am-4pm and have 4 boys at home. No exercising gets done once I'm home for the day.

(please excuse the rolls/stretch marks :sad: )

Same here - after 4 kids my body is not even close to the same it was.

Starting tomorrow! YAY!! Thanks for organizing the group...I'll post my measurements in the other thread.

starshine420

I wanna start on the 2nd or 3rd (frankly whenever I can get my hands on that DVD!) I got 3 lb dumbbells, but I may also invest in the 5 lbers too. =]

Yeah- I was wondering what weight everyone was going to use... I have 3 lbs and 5 lbs

I usually use my 2 lbs or 3 lbs pounds for this. Then again, last time I did it, I only got 10 days in before I stopped (lack of motivation and too many term papers, lol)

chrissaucier

I'm going to consider the 1st my official day to start this challenge. I'm using 5lb weights,
Good luck everyone!

lbdee

Thanks!! If you can do it at 5 a.m. with 4 little ones, I have no excuse not to get up and do it at 6:00. I only have one teenager left at home!!! I'm just not a morning person...

aklitten

I am waiting on my DVD to show up in the mail, but I'm also waiting until I can breathe and am no longer sick. Send healthy vibes my way, please!!

Elixandra

I ended up starting today.

sschutte11

Woohoo!! So excited to join this group! I'm starting tomorrow, it'll be great to have the motivation of others doing it as well

nadiali

hey guys i actually ended up starting today not yesterday... i started with level two but it was reallly tough! i think ill be going back to level one tomorrow but at least now i am capable of getting through the whole 20 mins doing the advanced moves in level one and not the beginners ones (does that make sense?).


right now i feel like ill being doing level one all month but we'll see how quickly the body improves.



anyone doing the meal plan that comes with the dvd?? i am trying to, if anyone else is let me know how it goes for u

genene111

Starting today:) December 1st!

lbdee

I started this morning. Still don't have my measurements, need a tape. Workout felt great and was harder than expected but not impossible. I like that it is only 27 min. Anyone know how many calories it burns or how to log it in the exercise diary????

summer827

I started last night (11/30), but I'm not going to do Shred on my two strength training days per week at the gym. I can't remember but I hope I don't have lunges on my program today because my legs are so sore from last night!! In a good way!!

princesskittykat

Heyyyy, I already started this, I hope you guys don't mind


I'm on day 6 today, so technically I'm going to be going thru most of it in December lol

I took before pics, I can't wait to take my after pics

Here are my measurements:

Neck: 14"
Chest: 36"
Waist(smallest): 31"
Waist(bellybutton): 35"
Hips: 41"
Thighs: 25"
Calves: 15"
Biceps: 12.5"

I think my weight was 173 lb when I started this, I actually started the day after a really bad Friday night, so I had some water retention going on, but we'll see how many inches and lb I'll lose by the last day. I also promised myself not to measure or weigh myself until then. I tend to get discouraged if I don't see results right away.

I'll post my pics when I'm done GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!
