    I'm excited to start this tomorrow with you all! I will be taking my pictures later tonight or tomorrow morning. And will do weight and measurements tomorrow morning also. How do we post the pictures on here though I've never done that before? And I was thinking of the same question.. what are we all planning on wearing in the pictures. I feel so gross wearing a sports bra & spandex haha. But I do have spandex type or yoga pants and a tight yoga tank top. Or if we are all thinking of the sports bra I guess I could do that & gross everyone out! lol

    Just a question.. does anyone have as much of a hard time doing push-ups as I do? Seriously? My mom and I have always said we have weak wrists, but doing push-ups is so difficult for me. Of course my wrist would seem weak trying to support my own body weight, but still even lifting frying pans sometimes can hurt my wrist. I feel like I'm so out of shape when I try to do even 1 push-up, so I doubt I will ever perfect them. But I'm curious to know if anyone else used to be horrible at them and is suddenly good at it?

    I hate push-ups! I have to do them on my knees (the girlie way!) but I can tell that I am getting stronger. An alternate way is against the wall on an excercise ball; that's how my trainer had me doing them when I was REALLY bad at doing them!

    With regard to the pictures, I would say take your picture in workout attire, whether it be stretch pants and a sports bra or yoga pants and a tanktop. I, myself, will be in yoga pants and a tanktop, but for optimal results, I am going to pull the tank top up above my stomach.

    There is a site called photobucket.com. Here you can upload your photos and get the HTML to post them on other sites. The comment boxes here seem to be run off of html code. I will be taking my pictures later this evening (before 9pm) and will attempt this in the Week 1 post. The New Post will be titled NEW SHRED GROUP: WEEK 1 and will stay that way every week (of course, the week # will change.)

    Is anyone else going to supplement the 30 Day Shred with additional cardio? I did a dry run of Level 1 this morning with my HRM and noticed a burn of about 200 calories. I've been averaging ~600 calories burned per day through exercise and don't know that I could mentally overcome switching to a 20 minute video.

    As far as the photos are concerned, I'm going to do sports bra and running shorts. After all, this is the body I'm leaving behind, right? :tongue:

    I can't wait to get started!

    I am used to burning about 600 calories also and have heard the same range of the 30 Day Shred burn. I usually do the boxing on the Wii as its entertaining and kicks butt in cardio calories! Anyone else doing this?

    Based on the Level 1 workout, there are jumping jacks and "pretend" rope jumping. I think you should be fine as it is jumping and not pounding. Also, you want to soft land with any workout for the sake of your knees.

    Hi there! I'm new to this site, (just joined yesterday) and I already started the 30 day shred earlier in the week but I'd still like to be a part of the group to keep my motivation up!

    Get ready for ladies because these workouts will rock you. I keep ending up making these grunting noises to power myself through certain moves but I feel fantastic when it's all done!

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    Well what I have been doing *and i dont know if your schedule allows this* but, I have been doing cardio on the treadmill in the mornings and then in the evenings i do a workout video (usually a 20 minute video) i think its a good combination and it keeps me from getting bored.

    Here is a blog I wrote that I believe will help you in those weak moments.

    I say a similar "mantra" to myself in my low moments and it has definitely helped me push forward!

    Today is Day 1 and I'm so excited to start. I actually did it lastnight out of being bored. I have limited tv channels and the olymics hockey was on which I find boring. So I did it and it' was fun. Posting my start measurments and weight. SW 198.8 measurments are 40.5-36-41. I think I will also add 30 mins on the treadmill. I don't trust the fact that a 20 min video can help me lose weight seems to easy.

    I just did mine for the first time and it kicked my butt!!! I'm gonna be on Level 1 FOREVER!!! Forgot to weigh myself and take measurements though. Oh well, better that than forgetting to work out. :)

    I'm in!! I ordered the DVD a couple weeks ago and I will be receiving it in the mail today (so I'll be a day late), but I am looking forward to it. Glad that there is a group starting at the same time, I'm going to need the accountability.

    Hello Everyone
    Good luck on day one. I did my 1st workout last night it was hard but I did get through it. I had some doubts @ 1st that only 20 min would be effective but after the 1st workout I can see how it would be every effective. I'm looking forward to seeing some changes.

    I weighed myself this morning but did not get a chance to do measurements yet.
    S/W 199lbs
    G/W 165-145lbs
    Mini Goal -to maintain wight will on vacation
