  • My question is ...do you do it every day for 30 Days straight or do you go at your own pace ?

    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?

    Hi All, I did day 1 of the 30Shred this morning. WOW it's been awhile, but I think I did pretty good. So day one down Yeah for me. Hopefully I can continue... my health issue may slow me down but will not stop me.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    But more important than the weight, I just want to tone up again and feel better in my clothes!!!

    I did day 1, and it went great! I forgot to get my measurement, but I will tonight!! Feel free to add me as a friend, as I am new to MFP, and could use all the motivation I can get, because as I have learned loosing weight by yourself is hard, hard work!!

    Well - I did day 3 of 30day shred!! That is very good for me with my healthy issues!! I think I may be getting better! It is a little disappointing to know that doing day 3 is an accomplishment when doing power 90 master series, boot camp, spinning and running weekly was nothing. I was set back soooo much. But I will slowly work myself back up to that!!!

    Have a happy helathy day!!!
