    my name is Twyla I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. This will be my 3rd attempt at the 30DS. I stopped the first 2 times due to getting illnesses during my routine and never picked it back up. I am hoping this time I will complete each of the levels for the full 30 days!

    Hi my name is Melissa :) I have tried doing the 30 day shred once before but after day 1 I started having extreme lower abdominal pain and eventually it took me to the ER which I found that I had a 6.5 cm cyst on my right ovary.. They wanted to operate but waited 2 weeks to see if it would shrink naturally.. luckily it did but did not leave me painless... I am now in the clear after a visit to the doc Friday it has shrunk 4 cm and they think it will go away naturally!! Here is to me not feeling down anymore.. Here is to me putting the hard in front of the easy.. and getting to the me I want to be..

    :happy:

    Hi there Melissa, i have cysts on my ovaries as well and have found that abdominal exercises exacerbated the whole situation. However i'm with you currently as i have a cyst on my right ovary of 5cm and will be doing this program as well. Good luck!
  • Hi everyone! i'm Ashley from Radford Virginia. This is my first time doing the 30 day shred and will be doing it with my boyfriend for extra support. I'm super nervous as i've heard so many people say that they drop out with level 2 but i will complete this no matter what. Good luck to everyone! :happy: :flowerforyou:

    Hi all! My name is Amanda and I'm 23 and a senior in college. I'm from St. Louis, MO but go to school in Rolla. I'm a computer programmer, so I sit in front of a screen basically all day everyday. I got 30DS in the mail about a month ago (one of my friends recommended it) and have yet to open it. Figure this will provide me a good motivation to finally start it and hopefully stick with it!

    Howdy! Brittany from Indiana and I'm 21. Just starting to get in shape and thought the 30 day shred would be a good place to start, hoping with a little motivation I can stick with it.

    Hello, I am Amy, I jumped the gun a little bit and did my first 30 DS level 1 today. I had never done it before... I threw up but I finished the whole workout.. I may die before May is over with, but I am in this for the haul or until I keel over.. Good Luck everyone...

    Hi, I'm Marianne from Calgary Alberta Canada. This will be my 2nd kick at 30DS. First time I got half way through level 2 before my player ate my DVD. Used that as an excuse to not continue (duh). It is a great workout and you'll definitely see results. Excited to get back on track! Good luck to all!

    Hi everyone! I just happened to start this today and then I found this group! My name is Brianne, I'm from Utah, I just barely quit my job and am now a stay at home mom, so no more excuses!! I am really excited about seeing results...I feel pretty convinced I'll see them because just the first day was a challenge for me! I only have 10 lb dumbbells right now so I needed to drop the weights towards the end and just do the movements...I figure as long as I'm still trying, I'm making progress! Good luck everyone!

    Hi there, my name is Jude. I have tried 30DS before but never got further than the second level. I have been doing well with my running having used the C25K app on my phone. I am hoping to do 30DS in the morning and running in the evening so I get some great results. I would really like to get into exercising in the morning as I don't have a lot of time in the evening for exercising as I work in London (which is an 1.5 hour commute from home) normally get home at 7.15. Mind you, i don't have a lot of time in the morning either but I need to give it a try and be a bit more disciplined! (aka - get to bed a LOT earlier)

    Hi, I am Karin, I am up in Canada and am eager to get going!! My 50th is coming up and I want to feel like I am on the right track to FINALLY get control of my weight!!

    Thanks for pulling this group together!!

    Where in canada? i'm in hamilton ontario :)

    Hi Patricia - I am not far from you, near London!! Sounds like you are back on the right track....keep it going!!!

    Oh, Hi, I'm Patricia, I've been pretty athletic all my life, till injuries and life sidelined me completely, i went from 145 in july 2009 to 195 in dec 2011. i've been working away at it and am down to 172 now. hoping the shred(along with my usual jiu jitsu workouts) will help me get back into shape quicker.

    Oufff....just finished Level 1...somewhat modified in the cardiovascular stuff.

    What I learned today: I am more out of shape than I was afraid of
    What I will learn today: How to answer to posts and include quotes

    So - the mind is active, things are good... :)

    Happy Tuesday! And Happy Mayday!!!

    Hello! I'm Anita. I live in a suburb of Houston, TX. I have had the 30DS dvd for a few years but have never made it passed level 1. I'm hoping being part of this group will get me through the month and through the DVD.
