    Hi
    I am on day 4 of level 2 of the 30 day shred. I liked it so much that I am now doing ripped in 30 too, so that gives me 60 minutes of circuit training each day. I am committed to do it everyday for the remaining days. I have to admit that it is not an easy workout to do. I wake up at 6 am to do the workout, sometimes I feel like going back to bed, but then I think about all the success stories in MFP from people who have done 30 DS which keeps me motivated.

    I am 5,2', weigh 133lb, my goal weight is 120- 125lb. I havent seen any change in my weight but I have seen reduction in inches in my body..

    I am excited to be a part of this group where we all are sailing in the same boat.

    Goodluck everyone, we will do it.. for once and for ever..

    Zana..

    Im Tia. This is my first time attempting the 30 Day Shred. I started 2 weeks ago but am only on Level one Day 8. Hoping to kick my workouts up a notch so It wont take me forever to complete the 30 days. I lost 4 lbs in my first 6 days (mind you I didnt do it on consecutive days). So I am really impressed with the program. I have been stuck at the same weight for the last 2 weeks,. but thats because I have been slacking off, also I had a mini vacay thrown in the middle of those 2 weeks. I have lost a few inches, though I have been at the same weight after the initial 4lb loss. Good luck everyone!!! :smile:

    Hi all!!! First, thanks for starting this group Charlene. I just finished level1 day2 so your timing is great.
    My name is Laura and my current weight is 175, 5'6. I am 46 years old. After four abdominal surgeries, my body has taken a beating!! I guess I don't really have a weight goal...I am committed to eating better and working out more. I believe if I can do that, the weight will take care of itself. I have had "measuring tape" on my grocery list for a week now...gotta pick that up TODAY!!! Looking forward to watching the numbers go down for us all!!

    I'm new and this is my first challenge on the site although I joined mfjsome time ago and have been logging food and exercise using my ipad. Last week invested in a fitbit ultra, the Gilliam Michaels book and the dvds.I have dragged out my heart rate monitor and even changed the battery- that is dedication. Since 2006 I have lost 66lbs following the body for life plan. I put the weight on in 2002 following cancer and its treatment- was never overweight before. I have no before photos only head shots but I'll keep on looking in case I've missed some! By 2009 I had lost most of the weight and since then very, very, very have slowly pushed my weight down by 10lbs, but gradually it reduces and by the age of 100 I may reach goal. I still have a further 14lbs to go but more importantly need to shape up. Huge tummy and rib fat with love handles which make jeans impossible to wear. I tire very easily as I have no thyroid function and am a borderline type 2 diabetic. I hold the sugar demon at bay most of the time. My love is spinning and body pump. I want my body back into shape........

    Folks I lack motivation to finish the job! But will be doing the August challenge in 2012. Reading all your super success stories and they have lifted my spirits.

    To-morrow starts at midnight!

    Welcome, i'm so surprised how many people have joined - Thank you (I truly didn't expect it)

    The first few days will be tough and your body will be sore the only advice i have learnt is to carry on and add some extra stretching exercises in as Jillian doesn't do enough.

    Hello everyone,

    Up until about 20 minutes ago I had never heard of the 30 day shred, after a bit of online research and the discovery that I can watch the video online (we have a tv with internet connection) I REALLY want to give this a go.

    August is set to be a big month for me fitness and weight wise, and the 30 day shred looks like a great weapon to add.

    Thank you for introducing me to this programme and I am wishing you all the very best of luck.... I am really looking fwd to posting pictures on here and seeing the difference will power, determination and focus can achieve :)

    Hi, I'm Laura. I just joined this site and group today. I'm looking to get back in shape. After having 4 kids, some with special needs, and running my own business, I'm crazy busy and I have let myself go. My weight has been slowly creeping upwards. I'm looking to loose 20 lbs, but mostly I would like to feel fit again. I feel like my energy is gone with the extra weight on.

    I've been doing the 30 day shred on and off for the last few weeks. I usually get it in about 3 times a week. I also cut out my daily mocha and most sodas. Now I only have a soda a couple times a week. I've only lost one pound so far and no inches so I'm going to try to fit in the workout everyday from now on.

    So I guess today is my day 2. Wish me luck!

    Level 2 is definiely a lil bit harder than level 1 but I am getting used to it easily , as i have built stamina from the previous workout. I started level 1 with the modified version, but for level I jumped straight into the advanced version...

    We can do this!

    Well done @supermomtoo4 for giving up your daily mocha and sodas - WTG!!!

    From what i've read on here you lose more inches than weight, but im very happy with that. The scales is just a number but my body actually shrinking awesome :)

    maybe because it builds strength/muscle?? i'd be very happy to gain a bit of definition :happy:
