    Hey there!

    Glad you made the group for March. I've actually started today and loved it. I'm really excited about this DVD. I've been wanting to try it for awhile now. Here's some info about me.

    My name is Lisa. I'm 25 and really took mfp seriously August of 2011. So far I've lost 21 pounds and am 3 pounds away from my goal. I'm more focused on inch loss though and know how well 30 day shred helps with that. I haven't been as good as I was when I first started but am looking to change that. I'm getting married in May and would love to look my best.

    I was so excited for the group you can actually delete my other post I made. I made it without waiting for the intro post, lol.

    YAY! I was just feeling that I needed to find a group that will start 30ds in March.

    I'm Wendy 34 yrs SW 226 on 1/7/12, CW today 198.8. I am very excited about starting 30DS. However I am not sure at how many lbs of weights to start with. What will others be starting with?

    Add me if you like!

    also excited about doing this...great idea!
    i'm 32...ive struggled with weight most of my life. i was finally at my goal weight about 5 years ago and then ended up getting married and "happy" and gained back a lot of weight...not so happy about it now! im starting with a 10% weightloss goal but have more to lose after that...one goal at a time.
    looking forward to shredding with all of you!

    I'm so glad you started this group. I lost 45 pounds a couple of years ago and gained it all back, plus a few. Needless to say, I'm older now and the weight doesn't want to come off. I'm 46 and I'm my heaviest I've ever been. I joined MFP last week and have lost 3 lbs so far. I've been walking and doing a little strength training. I've done the 30ds a couple of times, but it kicks my butt and I give up. It'll be great to do this with a group. Can I just say it again? I'm so glad to get started!!! Everyone stay motivated!!!

    So glad to have everyone! I've done this once before and I really needed some extra motivation around day 23ish, so I'm hoping this group will help us all stay motivated :)

    My name is Amber. I'm a stay-at-home-mom of one year old boy/girl twins. I've been married for almost 4 years to a wonderful, wonderful man who met me at my smallest and married me at my largest...did I mention he's a good man :) I've been overweight (um...obese) for most of my adult life and done just about every diet out there.

    I started MFP on June 1, 2011 and have lost about 68 lbs to date. I'll post a few stats below:

    Age: 25
    Height: 5' 7"
    HW: 286
    MFP SW: 257
    CW: 189
    GW: I've not completely decided. I'm thinking 140-150...

    Add me if you'd like. Please include a message with your request and let me know you're from the group. I'm the worst about not commenting on updates (diary completions and such), so please forgive me in advance :)

    Oh, and a few things you'll need to know. I'm from the south, so you'll see lots of "y'alls" when I type. I use smiley faces a lot; just look through this post alone...gah! I also tend to overuse the exclamation point (I promise I'm not shouting...usually). I practice tough love...I'll be here to support and motivate you, but I won't baby you if you are full of excuses. I promise, promise, promise I'm a nice person though :)

    I'm Nikki, 27. I use to be really good with using MFP and did the 30DS in Nov. Then my computer broke and I stopped using it. Then yesterday I stepped on the scale for the first time and realized I gained 4 lbs since then. I still have 10lbs to get to my pre baby weight. I do great with working out when I'm in a group

    Hey guys!

    My name is Teresa, I'm from Oregon. I'm 23 years old and have a beautiful 6 month old baby girl. This will be my second time doing the 30DS and I'm pretty excited!!!! I started MFP in November at 216 lbs, and to date I'm 191.8. I fell off the wagon for the past two weeks, and I'm looking to pick myself back up! Time to get serious again! I try to burn at least 1000 calories a day running, going to the gym, and work out videos. I'm a huge fan of Jillian and I own 5 of her DVD's. Very soon I'll be getting Killer Butt and Thighs, and i think I'm going to get TurboFire also.

    What else do you guys do for work out?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm Elisha and I ordered the 30 Day Shred just now so I can join in! I hope I get it in time for March 1st! I think most of my extra weight comes from stress because all I drink is water, I eat fairly healthy, although I do cave in to my chocolate cravings quite often, and I have a pretty active lifestyle even though it's hard for me to make time for "official" workouts. Looking forward to doing this challenge!

    Hi, my name is Jackie. I am a single mom of a beautiful 3 yr old. I am 34yrs old. my highest weight was with my pregnancy, it was not a very pleasant pregnancy. I ended up somewhere around 230 lbs. it has taken me a couple of years and I have been able to maintain 162 lbs. but I would really like to get down to 150 lbs. I need some motivation and this sounds like it would be perfect. I will be going out and purchasing the video today. looking forward to working out with all of you.
