I had asked some questions about other's success using the 30 day shred video and there was some interest in starting a little group starting in August so that we could all support/motivate and share with each other. Here is the new thread I promised.

Anyone who would like to join us is of course welcome!

Let's get after it or in some cases...continue getting after it! Good luck and let us know how it is going!

I will be doing my workout a little later today but will still be doing some modifications because of my hamstring/calf injury. To top that off, I was at the lake playing in the water with my son and tripped and gave myself a lovely 'road' rash up the shine of that same leg! lol That poor leg just can't catch a break!

How is everyone else doing?

    I'm on day ten today. I am too scared to go to 2 so I am sticking with the first one until I am really bored! This will be fun. I have had great success just in the last ten days! I feel skinnier. Good luck everyone!:bigsmile:

    I just recieved my 30 day shred from netflix yesterday and planned on starting it today. I'm glad I found a group to do it with. I'm a little nervous to start it because I haven't really push myself on the strength training since I had to quit my bootcamp in March. I only have a few pounds left to lose and I hope that this is what will get me there.

    I will check back in after my workout this afternoon.

    want to get this in my faves! I'm not sure if I'm going to start today though, my legs are super sore, waaay too much running past few days, plus my little cousins have been over, so its been piggy backs and child dead lifts haha!

    So I think I'll start tomorrow, and just do some jumping jacks today :tongue:

    That's a good one too. I have the Shred, and the No More Trouble Zones & Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. Jillian has a way of kicking your *kitten* into gear, doesn't she?

    I really like Jilians attitude. She really motivates me, she's not too girly and just really supportive. So far I've loved all her stuff.

    This sounds like a great idea!! I too have leg "issues" with my tendonitis, so I'll not be doing all the bouncing that's required, but I promise to keep my heart rate up & will start on Sunday!! :bigsmile:

    Hi Fellow Shredders!

    I just started level 1 this morning. What a workout!

    Thanks for all the info on the previous post.

    I, too, enjoy Jillian's style - and the length of the workout is perfect!

    I can't wait to see what the next 30 days will bring!

    Maddibabe!!! How exciting! Congratulations! Were you expecting that? Details! Details!

    Sanifrey...good for you! I am so glad that this thread had such an impact! Wow...I hope it continues to be.

    To everyone else....you guys are AWSOME! I can hardly believe the turnout for this. I am so excited!

    I did not work out too hard with this today, my leg was killing me and I tried to squeeze it in between moving my oldest son and taking my youngest to a birthday party and cleaning house. It was a very busy day!

    Now it is night night time! lol I am going to get my workout in first thing in the morning so I don't get a chance to get all achy and busy before I do the shred. I think this is a much better strategy for me.

    I was sooo not expecting it today but I am so excited for it! It is such a motivation for me to keep persevering....and the best part is that I only went over my day by 272 calories including a drink afterwards with friends! i thought that was DEFINATE control and improvement from a few weeks ago lol!

    the ring is so beautiful and sparkly. I've never seen anything like it before! he is an amazing guy and i think he is going to start doing the shred after he is done work for the day before i get home for dinner lol so you never know....he may get into it too. he is already planning more healthy means for us for this week/weeknd too!

    Congratulations!!! That is so exciting, sounds like a fantastic guy. Good for you and the positive life changes you are making, that's what its all about, still have fun, but find a better, healthier way.

    I'm loving this group too. I did my 1st run of couch 2 5k week two last night, so proud of myself for getting through it, then came home and did the shred 1, it is amazing to see my endurance change every day. I love it.

    Best to all!!!

    I did the Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD today, and I have one word for it (actually two words): Holy $#%!

    What a great workout though. Definitely worth a try. If you keep up with it and be consistent, you will see results.

    I did the phase 1 yesterday - and was FINE! I woke up this morning, though, and was SO stiff. It was painful to walk down the stairs. I persevered, though and did the shred again today. (and took 600 mg of ibuprofen LOL)

    I've heard different things from different people regarding pounds versus inches lost. I'm planning on covering all my bases and taking my measurements!

    Hope you're all doing well!!!

    Does anyone know if the 30 day Shred that is on "On Demand" with my cable provided for free is the same one as the DVD you buy in the store?
