Anyone just started or want to start with me? I'm a bit nervous, but I'm getting my kit together and geeing myself up! 
I did about 2 weeks of 30 day shred over a year ago, but had to stop for dodgy knees. I'm 35lbs lighter than I was then, so I'm hoping it'll be less jarring on my joints. I really enjoyed it when I was doing it; tough, but good!
I've got two children - 5 &3 - so the 30 minute thing is right up my alley. I'm an American living in the UK, so let me know if I slip into any Britishisms! lol I've been here for 8 years now, so they tend to slip in. I've been doing a similar online food diary since January and just feel I need a bit of a shakeup and lots of toning! And Jillian is the ultimate Kick *kitten* Queen!
Any takers?

Yes, I'm in! I'll be starting on Monday and would love to be part of this group.
Anyone else?
Thank You!0 -
We may be a small group starting, ACIMjoy, but I look forward to getting my butt kicked with you! Let's keep each other motivated because I'm starting to brick it a bit! lol Exercise isn't naturally my thing, but I'm ever hopeful.0
-
I am supposed to get mine by early next week, so I may be a few days behind you but I am in!0
-
Good luck to you all. I'm just about to start week 30

A few days out is okay, Brooke! Really happy to have more in the group - I hope we call all provide support and encouragement for one another. You look great in your pic, btw!
Thanks, Jaz. How have you found the regime?0 -

REALLY enjoying it bike just finished all my workouts 1and2 and going to do 3 tomorrow. I'm running though instead if doing the cardio workouts.
I've downloaded an agenda type calendar app on my phone and mark in my exercise when I've done it. It's great not seeing any gaps so far.0 -
Sounds great, Jaz! I don't run (unless something big and scary is chasing me) so I'll be sticking with the cardio, but I don't have any plans to follow her meal plan. I'll just be doing my cal counting as ever. I'm not entirely sure what eating clean is...but I feel quite confident in that I'll be eating plenty dirty! lol
You sound as if you're doing a really great job - so keep up your good example to us noobs! I want to achieve that same level of commitment - doing the program with no skips or gaps so I can feel proud of myself.0 -
Hi Hi! I just started the other day... currently on day 3. lol. I love it!
Feel free to add me! 0 -
Okay - Day 1 down - whoo hoo! It felt good. How did everyone else get on?0

I am starting tonight after work!0

Thanks, I have gained four pounds since that pic, but...I am hoping to lose it with Jillian! I can't wait to get my DVDS!!!0 -

Have you done any of her other dvds? I think it will be really enjoyable because we're not gonna be stuck doing one thing too long. Bit of interest and changing it up - I'm excited. I liked my workout today and she's so motivating! Are you expecting your dvds soon?0 -
congrats on starting! i loved jmbr. one thing about the bad knees, i started taking glucosamine before i started because i was worried about my joints too and it totally helped, i didnt have any problems whatsoever with my joints with all the jumping and high impact. definitely look into taking that as a supplement! good luck 0

I started today as well, i had started last week but had to take a few days off so I decided to start over today 0

Cool - let's kickbutt together!0 -
Days 1 & 2 down! I'm loving it. I've done p90x 4 times and these workouts feel so much more efficient. So glad to have this board for support and accountability. I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you...
Thank you for being here!0 -
Is anyone else going to take before and after pictures?0

How's everyone doing so far? Today is day 5 for me... feeling great so far! (maybe a little sore... lol) But still working hard! 0
-
Wow - cardio is NOT my thing so that workout just kicked my butt! Feeling sore in muscles I didn't know I had...but feeling good and happy with it. It doesn't even feel stressful working out three days in a row - which I never did. I always had a day break in between because I used to think it'd be too much to take on.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well! We've got to keep up the positivity and focus.
I did take before pictures, but I was pretty scantily clad...so not sure I'll post them. I guess it will depend on how happy I am with my results, if I wanna take that plunge! Anyone else feeling braver than me? 0 -
well i started the meal plan monday and outside of today i have been very strict on it. im not doing the workouts mainly just cuz i forgot to barrow them from my mom lol. so ill be starting 30 day shred tonight. i also have a 4 year old so she has decided she will work out with me. lol we will see how that lasts. Im glad to have found the group.
anyone having issues eating the plain greek yogurt?? its probably the only part i dread every day0 -

It says that they shipped...I am starting ASAP!! I have done a few of her DVD's before and completed her 30 Day Shred program. I got good results from that, so I am looking forward to a new program.0 -

Aww...well, good luck! I wait til mine at are school/nursery because the last time I tried to exercise with them around, I wound up on the bottom of a pile up! lol
I'm not following her eating plan, though, so I can't be of any help to you there. Maybe you could swap the yogurt for something else similar?0 -
sadly you have to do it once a day but its getting easier its just the yogurt is like eating a cup of sour cream with nuts lol, but i appreicate it. as for my lil one im sure she will be fine she does workouts with my mom when my mom does her at home stuff ^_^ i only have after work to do my workouts cuz i get up at 430 am and i live on the second floor of my apt build so i dont think my downstairs neighbors would appreicate the jumping around etc that early lolwell i started the meal plan monday and outside of today i have been very strict on it. im not doing the workouts mainly just cuz i forgot to barrow them from my mom lol. so ill be starting 30 day shred tonight. i also have a 4 year old so she has decided she will work out with me. lol we will see how that lasts.

Wow, Cardio 1 was a challenge! And I'm feeling sore as well, but it's not unbearable. My 15 year old daughter has decided to join me and she had to lay down about halfway through. I think it's because she doesn't want to modify any of the moves. I've been telling her that she has to work to work at her level (not JM and gang's level), but she doesn't want to listen. I think she'll tone it down tomorrow though. Today totally wiped her out.
I'm proud of her, that she wants to focus hard and do this program. What an awesome thing it will be for her if she learns to adopt this level of fitness at such an early age.
I'm feeling a change in my own energy level already. I feel so much better!
Thanks,
LC0 -

that is awesome you are already feeling the goodness from working out. hope you and your daughter continue to push further always nice when you can push past something you never thought you could do.0 -
I started on Nov 5 also. I'm trying to do the full blown 7 day kickstart with the meal plan and double exercise sessions. So far so good on sticking with it. Sticking to the meal plan is tough as I'm use to eating at least one more snack along with grains and fruits. I figure it's only 7 days and I can get through it. Hopefully I see good results!!
I really just needed to get back on track and I always do better if I start out really strict with exercise and food so the kickstart was perfect.
Everyone's doing awesome, look forward to seeing everyone's progress!!0 -
the greatest thing i have found so far with this is that i am pushing more water. where before i would drink coffee and soda a lot. so that greatly excites me cuz it just makes me feel better0
