NEW GROUP- 30 Day Shred-Starting Monday!!

I just took my before pics...and got my measurements ready for Monday. Boy was that scary!!!!:devil:

I am going to take before pictures on Sunday and will do my weight and body measurements early Monday morning. I'm nervous about posting that, last I saw my body measurements I was NOT happy and it made me feel even fatter! haha

I can't wait to start this with all of you, it definitely helps having people to be accountable to! It's motivation that I'm not getting from family or friends, since none of them want to join this journey with me

I'm already looking ahead to when we complete this 30 days, I want to begin another challenge after it's over, I'm thinking Power 90 so that eventually I can do P90X. But for now 1 thing at a time, cause I know 30 day shred is going to be tough at first

I'm in! I started today, it was great! It was way harder than my usual elliptical workout, but hard is good. I did workout with a trainer a few years back, and he swears by this type of interval training. I just kept repeating what Jillian said when it got hard and i wanted to stop, 'When it starts to burn, you can't stop! Those are the ones that count!' FYI - input the activity as 'circuit training' to get the right cals burned. Hopefully I can still move on Monday when you guys officially start

I am totally in!! I really hope I can do this!!

When looking around at other 30 day shred forums and searching for more information about it, I got the impression that you do each level for 10 days (unless you need more or less time on a particular level) and that after 10 days of each level you have completed the full 30 days and should see a difference. Maybe I didn't interpret it right and maybe it is a longer challenge. Guess we'll find out!

I'm excited to start this with everyone, since I started before and was not losing weight I got discouraged and stopped. But now I will have to be accountable to each of you. I can't wait to see how everyone feels after day 1 and know that I'm not alone in the struggle of some workouts that look easy but are really hard.

I also can't wait to see at the end of our 30 days, the group total of inches & pounds lost! With all of us participating our total losses could probably create a whole other person! Can't wait

I totally agree! It really hurt to move for the first 4 days. BUT... I just did L1D4 and I completed the entire thing without stopping!!! Woo-Hoo! I seriously thought it would take me a month. I didn't do it as fast as they did but I did it! And the soreness, while still there is now more of a background issue that I can live with. Yay!! :bigsmile:

I am excited about joining and starting the 30 day shred!!!

Count me in.... silly question but are we going to take measurements before we start as well?

I could be mistaken but I believe you do each level for 30 days and there are 3 levels. So this may be a 90 DAY challenge. Obviously, if level one is too easy for some of us, we will bump to level 2 and make it a 60 day challenge....or we may have to stay on the same level for 60 days. It all depends on each individuals abilities...

Last time I tried to complete the 30 Day Shred I thought that you are supposed to do each level for 10 days... making a 30 day challenge. Don't know for certain but just thought I would let you know.

Regardless, I'm excited to join this group and have some motivation and someone or someone(S) to hold me accountable. I plan on taking my before pictures tomorrow and measurements to. What would be the best outfit to wear when taking a before picture. Should I sport the biggest loser outfit and wear a sports bra and spandex? Any thoughts?

I'm excited to start this tomorrow with you all! I will be taking my pictures later tonight or tomorrow morning. And will do weight and measurements tomorrow morning also. How do we post the pictures on here though I've never done that before? And I was thinking of the same question.. what are we all planning on wearing in the pictures. I feel so gross wearing a sports bra & spandex haha. But I do have spandex type or yoga pants and a tight yoga tank top. Or if we are all thinking of the sports bra I guess I could do that & gross everyone out! lol

Just a question.. does anyone have as much of a hard time doing push-ups as I do? Seriously? My mom and I have always said we have weak wrists, but doing push-ups is so difficult for me. Of course my wrist would seem weak trying to support my own body weight, but still even lifting frying pans sometimes can hurt my wrist. I feel like I'm so out of shape when I try to do even 1 push-up, so I doubt I will ever perfect them. But I'm curious to know if anyone else used to be horrible at them and is suddenly good at it?
