Motivation
Ask yourself, why are you doing this?
There are going to be times when you don’t want to work out. You just won’t, just me - Jillian is tough. These are going to be times when you’re going to need to refocus on why is it you’re working out.
When you find out why you want to get back in shape, find some way you can remind yourself of this reason. If this blog and support system reminds you why - then come on back for some motivation!
Goals
Setting and reaching goals is a big part of getting back in shape.
Don’t set too high a goal though, you want to be able to reach it in a reasonable amount of time and for us that is 30 days!
Results!
If we push each other and support one another we will be on our ways to successful results! Just remember, its like Jillian says “It’s not about perfect. It’s about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.”
Get pumped!

Awesome! So glad to get in the beginning!0

I'm super excited to do this!! And I just got my fitbit!!!0

I did day 2 today! My arms are so sore. The push ups are the worst for me. Sad, I can barely do two or three of the modified version! But I work up a sweat and feel good afterward! Good luck everyone!0

I'm really excited about this!! I've owned 30DS for months, but never gotten past the first week (except for a very rare, very motivated attempt last summer when I reached week two.) Looking forward to having a group of people to do it with!
Good luck, everyone! and thanks for putting this group together

So excited for this! This will totally help keep me accountable :-) Thanks for putting this together!0
-
I'm super excited to start! I'm bad about starting something like this and quitting after a few days, so hopefully this will keep me motivated to keep going!0
-
Let's do this! It will be nice to know everyones results after the 30 days:happy:0
-
I just did day 2 today also!!! I'm nervous about how sore I'll be tomorrow!!!0

I already did the shred once... Did it all in 30 days without taking a day off. As far as I could tell it worked, but I didn't measure anything. Now my weight's creeping back up - or my shape is - whatever the case may be I feel out of shape and I want to do this again... So here I am...
Gotta find that measuring tape!
Work hard everybody!
PS: I used to do it in the morning before breakfast, showering, or anything else... By the time I was awake enough to be really annoyed, it was half over.
PPS: I did almost every modifiable exercise modified all the way through level 3. Don't get too worked up about not doing an exercise the "Natalie" way. That's for people who are already in good shape.0 -
I can't wait to get started! I hope we all get great results!0
-
Just started with Day 1, level one this morning and my goodness! I have a lot of work to do on my stamina. Had to take a few moments throughout the workout just to catch my breath!0

Hi all! I technically started the Shred in mid-January, but the flu knocked me out for a few weeks and I'm just getting back on track.
I started with the full seven days of L1 before I got the flu, and I just want to encourage everyone to push through the initial muscle soreness and pain, ESP if like me you are just starting to work out again after a few months... It hurts, but now that I've been trying L2 I can see a huge difference in my ability to push through.
I can already see a difference in how my body performs and feels to myself, after the intermittent L1 workouts, so Jillian is the real deal. Take your measurements, this is a big toning workout and some may see even better measurement reductions then weight loss, which great!0 -
Thank you dtobias8! Good to hear those positive insights from someone who has gotten past the first stage 0

I'm glad I found this group!
I've been thinking about doing 30 Day Shred on and off for awhile.
I was planning on starting tomorrow, so the timing of this group is great.
My motivation and goals for doing 30ds are really just to tone up and lose some of the extra jiggle I have.
I'm working towards living healthier all around and have been working out some by myself but figured I might as well give 30ds a try!
Is anyone else going to post starting pics/measurements?
It might be nice to know everyone's (who's comfortable with it!) starting points so we have an idea of which other group members are closest to our current body types too.
If anyone else is up for it I'll post my pics/measurements before I start tomorrow or Sunday. 0 -
Thanks for starting this group! I attempted to do 30DS in December and only made it to day 5. Hopefully, being a part of this group will keep me motivated and able to complete 30 days. I will definitely be taking measurements as I want to really focus on gaining muscle instead of the number I see on the scale. Good luck ladies!0

im glad to see there are other people putting together a shred group yay!! excited to get started... :explode:0
-
my legs were hurting for a few days... but its a good sore right!!!0
-
i have done it for three days now...yesterday i could barely walk lol...but i feel better today. glad to find the group to help keep me going...i do all the modified versions of the exercises also. i find the jumping jacks to be hardest for me to do because there is to much moving around ~grins~0
-
Morning.
I'd like to join if I may?
I completed all levels before Christmas and love, love loved the results I got from it. Would like to do it again because I've got lazy and squidgy again. :grumble: Time for revamp.. I will mix in my other exercises as well but this will help keep me honest.
I'll take measurements tomorrow morning and keep a track of them.0 -
Well, I just signed up for this group, and I'm wondering if anyone can fill me in on the program? I've seen the Level 1 video on youtube, and I'm wondering if you do each level for 30 days? or do you move through the levels in 30 days? Silly question?0
-
Typically, you'd do each level for 10 days before moving on to the next. It's a 30 day program, you can add rest days as needed.... I usually go seven days, add rest day, and finish out the level but everyone is different and some do 30 days straight.0
-
Ready to do this!0

So glad I found this group. I did 30DS after the birth of my first son and had great results. I had my second son on 12/9/12 and just got cleared for high impact workouts. Looking forward to getting started. Please feel free to add me as a friend.
My goal is to lose 10 pounds in 30 days. I will be adding additional workouts (walking and yoga), keeping to 1200 calories a day and having one treat meal a week.0 -
I'm also looking to start the 30DS tomorrow...I might even try to do Day1 today.
I measured myself this morning & was thinking of taking some pictures.
Really hope that my knees can withstand this...Glad I found a group starting the same time, as I was...0 -

Im right there with you on the push ups! I hate them, I try and try and for some reason I never get any better at them.0 -

I was thinking the same thing! I take pictures every time I start the shred...but I never get very far so I end up starting over...lol.......I want to take pictures and measurements to keep track of my results. I think I will take some at start then in the middle then at the end...0 -
Looking forward to being part of a group to get me past this plateau. This and the couch to 5k program will do that. I'm ready to put in the time to make it happen. With a group cheering each other on, it should happen. Know my goals have to be achievable and not too big or I will get discouraged, can't let that happen! Be brave my fellow shreaders, we can do this!0

Jillian points out a lot of places where you can modify the exercises if your knees are prone to injury 0 -
This is perfect timing!
I just started with Workout 1 yesterday. It's nice to see a bunch of people who will be in the same boat.
Good luck everyone!
Feel free to add me as a friend. I need all the support and motivation I can get!0 -

That was my plan too.
I'm going to take pics and measure right now actually for Day 1. Then start the video for the first time! Wish me luck?
Then at day 15 and day 30 I'm going to measure again and take more pics.
If anyone wants to add me as a friend as well I have my food diary open so everyone can see it.
I'm working on that part, so it isn't going to be a great healthy inspiration to everyone or anything, haha, but I think it's helpful to be able to see how others are eating to for a comparison. It also makes me feel a little less bad about slipping up on occasion when I know other people do it too.
