I started this in the mornings when my husband is at the gym because I dont want him to know. It's bad enough I've gained weight and depressed about it....but he makes things worse with the comments he makes (which he doesnt know are "bad/mean" its the marine in him.
If he keeps saying things that upset you, make sure to talk with him so he can at least know and make an effort to not hurt your feelings.
I totally get not wanting to be open about weight loss though. It's tough to know if you're going to stick with it right off the bat, and it's a very personal thing (except on MFP
) that is hard to share even with the people you are closest to.
Feel free to message me if you're ever down, and need someone to talk to. I'm working through depression as well, so I can probably at least understand where you are coming from)0 -
Hello!
I'm 31 and mother of a 2 year old girl. I've attempted the Shred a couple of times but having recently had success with setting a 30-day challenge for myself (no sugary food), I thought I'd build on that and challenge myself to complete the Shred because I KNOW I CAN DO IT!
My stats:
Height: 5`6"
Weight: 136.8
Body Fat: 28.9%
Bust :35
Waist 29.5
Belly and muffin top (just below naval): 38
Hips 39
Thighs: 22
Calf: 13
I'm hoping to lose 5 lbs and get the awesome change in stomach area that others have doing this. My main goal is to reduce my body fat % as I honestly look 20-30 lbs heavier than I am right now.
I'm going to allow myself a day or two off a week because I think it's good to let your body recover BUT I'm going to keep going until I feel it's absolutely necessary before taking a day because it tends to turn into 2 days then 3, you get the picture!
I plan to get my clothes and equipment ready as my daughter is having her bedtime milk and then get to it straight away when she goes to bed. Sitting down then usually means I want to stay that way. Most of all, I'm going to stay positive and fly on autopilot to get it done without my brain telling me that it would be much nicer to sit down with a cup of tea
Good luck everyone!0 -

Hi everyone!
OK, so, I am looking to start either the 30DS or JMBR (which I have done previously) on 15th April. Can't decide which one though. I experienced really good results with JMBR after 1 month, but I'm thinking to try something slightly different. Love Jillian's workout DVDs, so I'm sure I will be happy either way.
Here are my stats:
Age: 24
Height: 5' 5.5"
CW: 160lbs
GW: 140lbs
Feel free to add me so we can support each other :happy: I've found that this helps a lot
Good luck everyone x0 -

Hi everyone,
I'm joining the group today. This will be my second time around. Completed the challenge about three weeks ago and decided to do it again. Today will be Level 1 Day 1. I'm working on the ole belly fat! Stubborn stuff, I'm telling you!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hi Everyone. I started the 30 day shred last Friday and I skipped Sunday so I'm on day 3. It's kicking my butt!! Then again, it should...I haven't done any form of exercise is years other than walking so I'm exceptionally out of shape.
I'm hoping to lose 40 lbs by November so I can look good in a bathing suit. I'm hoping that the 30 day shred will give me the strength energy and motivation to stick to my goals.0 -
Oh, yeah, my stats:
Age: 42
start weight: 182
Current weight: 171
First goal weight: 140
Dream weight: 1300 -
AHH! I am so glad I found this group!!! I need the support, motivation, and to see that other people are doing it!!
Hi! I'm Stephanie. I'm 25, and while I was completing my BBA and MBA's, I tacked on a lot of weight. Now, as I'm getting ready to donate my kidney to brother, I would really like to lose some of my weight. The good news is, all my tests have come back phenomenally and the doctors are crazy surprised at how healthy I am for my weight (Lets face it, most of my weight is in the twins
). But, I'm hoping the 30 day shred will start to get me motivated while I add walking and elliptical work in every day as well! I always have a hard time staying committed so I'm hoping this group will make me feel accountable!
GL to everyone! I hope there are checkin's every day!

Hi all,
I am on day 3 of level 1. Definitely love this work out. It's fast and fun ! Having done pump classes for the past year, which are 60 mins long, feel as though I am getting more from this 30min work out already!. At the moment I am doing 30 mins cardio before workout. Hoping to tone up after a summer of indulgence!0 -
Currently 138 pounds with a goal weight of 128 ish. My height is only 5'4 so 10 pounds really makes a difference.

Hi guys!
I weigh 219lbs & im 5"2. Just completed day 1 of my 30 day shred and I thought I was going to die!! It's so intense but in a weird way good! Need to get this weight off me. I started the 8th April 2013 and so far have list 8.2lbs. I'm not sure I can do the shred every day - I think I'll need to start with every 2nd day and ease myself in. Do you guys think that's a good idea or do you think it will hinder me?
Nice to meet you all x 0 -
Hi All
I'm a bit late in joining but am on Level 2, day 2 today and god last night was tough....god knows whats going to happen today.
I've put on weight through two pregancies and I've decided enough is enough...its coming off. I can exercise easily enough (when I get the scarce time) but its my food that needs the work...portion control mainly. I'm a greedy piglet and love my glasses/bottles of white wine..
I have 20lbs to lose to start with and am currently 156lbs, 5ft 5.
Will be great to see how everyone gets on with this program. I'm trying my hardest not to "phone it in!". LOL

Hi everyone, I'm Kelly and this was the week I decided to make a real effort to lose weight and get healthy!
I weigh around 150lbs at the moment and am only a teeny 4'11 so have quite a bit to lose! Eek!
Started 30DS on Monday and so have just completed day 4 of level 1!
For some reason found today really tricky, completed the workout but felt weaker than the previous days, maybe I'm just tired!
Keep hearing the horror stories about Level 2 and so am definitely not looking forward to that at the moment, going to savour the next 6 days haha!
Hope everyone is doing well 0 -
