    Woke up this morning and decided to start 30DS then saw this group afterward....perfect timing! I did it last August faithfully and saw some results. Since then I have been mostly working on c25k, zumba & going to the gym but I really need to go through this again so here I am. Looking forward to all of OUR success stories :bigsmile:

    Have a good day everyone!

    I am also doing zumba two days a week and treadmill the other days. Good luck everyone!

    How much did you lose after the first round?

    FrauHausMaus! I love your name! My name is Vy. Ok, so I have started yesterday, my abs are a little sore, I did not take any measurments, so I will do that today after work. I am also going to try and get some miles in for the month of Aug...40 miles is my goal, so some days I will be doing some running in conjunction with the 30DS. I am having a hard time do the last part of the legs and arm exercise, the one where you have to move to side and raise your hands up to eye level. Is anyone else having problems with that? Maybe I should lose the weights to get my form down first and then incorporate the weights? If feel like I move to the left side well but not the right side. Thoughts?

    Thanks, Vy!

    The weights I started with today were too heavy- 5lbs was a bit much for me, since my arms are weak and noodley. I ended up having to put them down and just do without, but I kept moving. I'm going to drop down to 3 lbs tomorrow (if I can find them) and if that proves to be too much, I've got some one pounders tucked away somewhere. I think as long as you keep moving, it's better than nothing, and it's certainly better than sitting on the couch eating cookies and feeling sorry for yourself. Not that any of us would ever, ever do that :blushing:

    This is just the push I need. I will either start tonight or tomorrow morning...I will aim for tonight. I have had some health issues, but I think I am ready to start something again. Hopeing I can and with the support of a group!!! All I have been doing is walking with a friend for an hour 4 to 5 days a week for the last 9 months. This is a big drop from what I was doing --- so I am excited to start up again.

    Have a happy healthy day!!!

    Hi all!

    Second time attempting 30DS -- the first time was VERY early in my process, and then I lost the DVD (shows you how often I clean under my entertainment center ... )

    Starting today.

    I'm 5'10, vacation weight makes current weight unreadable at this point. I've had lousy luck losing pounds on a circuit program anyway, but inches ... they fly!

    THE PLAN (for me anyway) ...
    30DS 5x week. Hopefully regularly in the morning, excepting today because, well, I was lazy. (M-Th, Sa or Su)
    60 minutes of Zumba twice a week (class W-Sa)
    20-30 minutes of Zumba the other 3 days (DVD and/or dancing my face off to previously learned choreo)

    This is probably pushing it, but I've got my 10-year reunion in October. I'm already smaller than I ever was in HS, but I'd REALLY REALLY like to wear a single digit dress to this shindig.

    I'm pretty sure you're supposed to do it every day, but if I get 5 out of 7, I'll consider that a win. Since 30DS isn't the only workout I'm doing, I don't think it would kill me to take a day or two off every week.

    Just joined MFT today, need to do something, not really happy with my weight gain over the last while. Have used 30DS in the past, not for 30 days straight but do like the workout.

    My plan is to do it 4 days a week followed by 40 minutes of cardio - treadmill/eliptical/ or both. The other three days will try for 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill.

    Just need to get motivated to work out....

    Hello, everyone!
    It's my first time on myfitnesspal and on this group! Losing weight has been an uphill battle for me ever since I gave birth to my daughter in April 2009. A grade three MCL tear in my right knee compounded the problem a year and a half ago. I finally feel like my knee is strong enough to get back into a regular exercise program so I'm happy to join this group! I plan to start 30DS tomorrow and will post my measurements then. I'll be supplementing my workouts with running. Scheduled to run my first 5K race in years next month!

    I've had the video for a year and have never finished it. In fact, I've never gotten beyond day 3! So hopefully this motivates me to keep it up. I will be starting this afternoon. I was at the gym this morning and did 30 mins on a treadmill and some ab and weight work too. I would really like to start lifting and I've reserved a few books at the library just for that purpose. I don't have measurements, but I'll have my hubby help me get them when he gets home, but here's what I know.

    Age: 35
    Weight (as of last night): 216.4
    Height: 5'5"

    I would really like to tone up and lose the jiggle! It doesn't help that my husband is 6'4" and maybe 185 soaking wet. I hate being a foot shorter and 30 pounds heavier!

    When you go to add 30DS to your workouts, what do you put in? When I did it before I used circuit training just because I couldn't come up with anything better and I don't have a heart rate monitor.

    Hi all, started today - even though I couldnt find my weights (used two ribena bottles instead!).

    Current Weight - 152 (69kg)
    Height - 5'6
    Measurements:
    Thigh - 22.5
    Arm - 11
    Waist - 38.5
    Hips - 41
    Chest - Forgot to do this

    Am going to log my food intake and try to stick to a relatively low level (around 1500) and am aiming to do this every day for the next 30 days. Then if I see a difference hopefully it will motivate me to keep going. Only 29 days to go! Good luck everyone!

    Alright, so...where do I start? I need a little guidance from my fellow 30DS pals. I have the program at home, should I just jump right into this routine? Also, I'm new to the whole forum/blog thingamajig! Please be kind, I'm a quick study?
