Great ideaHi Ladies!
I see we're 70 members strong- Wow! Glad to know I'm not alone. We've got a great support network here.
It's nice to read all of your stories!
I think I will post the main concepts behind the challenge in the group description, etc. and I'm thinking about posting daily mini challenges to keep us on our toes if anyone would be interested? 0 -
Hi,
I'm Cindy, 55 yrs, joined MFP in January 2012 and have lost 65 lbs but have plateaued recently. I'd like to loose an additional 45 lbs to feel better about myself than I do now. Never have really had any self confidence in myself, but I need that right now to finish my weight loss goal.
I have a daughter, 19, autistic and non verbal, and I want to be around for her for a very long time.0 -
Hi,
I'm Missa, and I am 24 years old with a loving boyfriend and awesomest dog.
I already work out about an hour every day, and I don't want to give up those workouts, so when I am doing the 30ds I am probably going to do every other day.
My current measurements are : B:W:H 38:36:43
I am not sure what my goal measurements should be at this point. We will see what happens by about Christmas 0 -
Hello everyone! My name is Brittany. I have been on MFP for awhile now, but have only recently gotten serious about losing the weight for good. My husband recently became a trucker and will be home approximately every 3 to 4 weeks. I am using that time frame for setting different goals, so I can make sure he comes home to a sexier wife each time
My stats are:
Height: 5'7"
CW: 205
GW: 120
I have a copy of 30DS, but can never seem to make it all through from day 1 to day 30. However, after seeing the numerous success stories on here, I am more motivated than ever to complete it this time.
Now that I am an official stay-at-home mom of a 4 year old and 2 year old I am able to login frequently through-out the day. Feel free to add me 0 -
Hey everyone. My name is Kristie. I'm a 37 year old mom of 2 (5 and 2.5) in South Carolina. I work full time and want to do this. I started yesterday, the workout was quick enough - for anyone who hasn't done it it is free on YouTube and I logged it as circuit training. She switches things up fast enough that time flies. My kids tried to play along too, hubby layer on the sofa and just watched lol!
I'm excited to see results, my "before" 30DS pics are on my profile!
And I will be swimming 1-2 x per week and last week 3 of us started running (ok, barely crawling) up and down the stairs 10 minutes a day, 4 flights.0 -
Hello
My name is Keirstin. I live in SC and I go to school full time and work part time. So apparently I am suppose to be 70 pounds lighter *ouch*. I'm 5'2 and trying to get my life back in order. My boyfriend (army) said he would support me and workout with me but yea, that is not going to happen anytime soon lol. His running scares me! So, here's hoping I can do 30 day shred more than once!0 -
Hello!
My name is Anna, I'm a homeschooling/homesteading mother of five in SW Michigan. After six pregnancies (one baby didn't make it)... a WHOLE decade of either being pregnant or nursing, I am finally able to start shedding the weight. I joined MFP in October, and immediately signed up for a New Year's Challenge. But I'm down to the LAST MONTH, and think it calls for a 'big final push', and I think your 30-day Shred might just be the thing.
I weighed 200 (I'm 5'9) at my last doctor's appt in June, and thanks to biking this summer, then getting on the REAL weight-loss bandwagon with MFP in October, I'm down to 189. My goal is 185 by New Years, and 165, overall.
I'm very excited about upping the ante on my personal challenge!0 -
Hi Everyone! I'm Amy. I'm 38, Married mother of 3 (6, 8, 10). I have a very intense job & I try to squeeze it in between the kids getting on the bus & off - so I'm always in a bit of a rush.
I use all my vacation time over the summer, so I can be home more with the kiddos. We have a very active summer, and I was great at getting in my workouts while the kids were in swim lessons, etc. - but most of all being on my feet & unchained from my desk was a big help.
Needless to say, when school started back up & our schedule less flexible - my workout habits dropped off - stress at work climbed & I've put some weight back on!
I lost 30 pounds in 2012, but have put about 5 of it back on.
Love the 30 day shred - have had great results with it in the past. Got in Workout 1 of this challenge yesterday.
Looks like we have a great group from all over!
So excited for us all to meet or beat our goals!
Hugs, Amy :0)0 -
My name is Carla. I am a 41 year old mom of 4 children and I teach special education. Last Spring I lost 26 lbs, managed to get the shingles and have them settle in a knee joint causing symptoms that mimicked a torn meniscus. 2 specialists, and MRI, and physical therapy later, they've determined it's probably just the shingles and just do what I can. I completed a 90 day round of Chalean Extreme and saw great results (size 16 to 10/12) before getting sidelined. I've gained 5 of those lbs back, still in same size, but things are definitely tighter and flabbier! I just finished 2 weeks of her program again, but found myself wanting some more immediate feedback (results!) that were shorter in length. Enter 30DS! I'm excited to start and hoping this is the springboard to commit to being on my way in 2013 to the goals I've been trying to achieve for a few years now!0

Hi All,
I'm Kelly and I'm 34 from the UK I've done the 30ds dvds before but never the full program, I got very fit this year but I had a cycling crash back in September and I started to drink wine and eat crap so I put on some of the weight I'd lost, I'm recovered enough to start it but will most likely have to modify (I fractured my sternum)
I'll post my stats later0 -

Hey, I'm Ashlee! I'm a 22 year old nursing unit assistant in the oncology department of the local hospital. I'm also a student and starting nursing school fall of 2013. After being in a relationship for over 2 years, I've gotten probably a little too comfortable and got off track with my diet and exercise. I miss the great shape I was in before, all the cute clothes I have packed away that no longer fit, and the confidence I used to have. I've also heard stories of the weight gain that comes with nursing school and want to physically and mentally prepare myself to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I've been doing jillian workouts here and there but have never done them consistently. I'm excited to start the 30 day shred and hopefully be feeling much better about myself by Christmas!0

Hi All...I'm Robin. 34. I'm 10lbs away from my heightest weight ever (229.9) but feel like I've been stuck up around my highest weight for way too long! I'm short too... 5'4" and I carry majority of my weight around my torso.
It is time for me to get moving in the right direction FOR GOOD. I am tired of being so overweight! I also will be standing in a wedding this coming August...time to get picture ready!
I have done 30 Day Shred workouts before but never for 30 days straight. I did enjoy them when I did them. The workouts go by in a flash!
Looking forward to shedding inches with you all!0 -
Hi all!
I'm a dancer and dance teacher from Switzerland. I just turned 36 and I found out about IR and PCO. This explains, why I am slightly overweight although I'm training so much. But now I really want to find a way out of this.
I already did 2 days (Saturday and Monday) of the shred. Today I was able to teach the 240 minutes. But after that riding my bike home (I live on a hill) was sooo hard... those static lunches are tough on the thighs!
I'll have to see how I can fit this in my daily training and teaching schedule, but I'll give my best as long as my muscles are still able to dance! AN I'm looking forward to it! It's great to have someone who tells you to move!!0 -
Hello, hello! I'm Traci and am in NC, with the exception of 2 or 3 years(nutri-system) I've never been happy with my weight. I always told myself I would be "fit by 40"....well, I turn 41 next month. But, none of that matters because I'm here now and making changes as best I can. I've never been too keen on excercise. I'd much rather read a book and munch on cheese puffs. Sadly, that didn't do me ANY good .Sooo, here I am! I'm committed to this challenge and my journey. I look forward to seeing all our progress at the end! I've found that the success of others really inspires me....hoping to do the same for someone else by the end of this!!

Hey everyone, I hope it's OK that I joined late, I did start on the 19th though so not behind
I am an 18 year old female student from England and I'm hoping to shed that weight that I gained through my teenage years and to get lean. I attempted the shred a few months ago but only got to day 4 (pitiful I know) but I'm determined to see it through until the end now!
Excited to see progress. xx0 -
