Hi everyone :) Im jessica, this will be my 2nd attempt at 30 DS last time i got to the end of level 2 and then got lazy :( But this time i am going to finish!! I will have to take a week break dec 16-21st i have to take a village trip for work and will be staying in a clinic away from home for a week so i will not be able to do my workouts, but i will keep going as soon as i get home :) I started out on MFP at 218 lbs 4 months after my daughter was born and i am not down to 197 :) I am 5'3 and 21 years old i have struggled with weight since high school and after i had my baby i decided it was time to loose the weight and get in shape. I want to be a fit and heatlhy mom and set a good example for her and be able to do things with her, i dont want to be the mom thats too fat to play with her kids. I cant wait till the day i reach my goal :) Gotta take it one step at a time and 30 ds is where i am now :) Thanks to everyone who is joining me :)

    I'm in! I just got this in the mail yesterday and will start for the first time tonight. I'm so excited!!
    I used to teach Zumba at a local curves but they closed and haven't really done any exercise since then.

    Looking forward to see my body change. Not so much worried about dropping weight but losing inches.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hey, I just joined the website and I'm totally in for starting this challenge today! I've always been naturally thin, but now at age 26 I suddenly realized how much weight I've gained over the past few years from my metabolism naturally slowing down, as well as from drinking too much. I've been sober for a few weeks and ready to turn my life around, starting with my health!

    I'm so excited to have this group because it will make sticking with it so much easier. I'm really nervous because I haven't exercised regularly in a LONG time, but hopefully this will be the start of something great.

    Just so happens that I started 30 DS yesterday - before I even knew this group existed. Pretty excited to lose some weight again - I was within 15 lbs of my goal weight a couple years ago, then gave up. I've now got about 40 lbs to lose...those jeans in my closet WILL fit again!!

    Hey everyone!!! My dvd just came in the mail last night. I always quite stuff and never finish, so this group will give me a good kick in the butt. I am turning 30 on the 16th, am married, and have birthed 4 children. My last 3 were all with in 3 1/2 years from start to finish. I am tired of my son's friends making fun of him because his mommy is fat. I havent been fit since before my first son was born and that was 8 years ago. My children are 8, 2, and 1. We also have an angel in heaven. Everything else about me is probly boring. lol

    Hey ladies, I am Brie. This is my second time through 30 day shred. I completed 30 days straight in September 2011. I had great results! Completed Day 2 of level 1 about an hour ago, woohoo!

    I joined another group on here, but this one seems more engaging and hopefully, will give me that extra push. I started 30DS on the 1st. So, today is day four for me. First day is the hardest, but keep at it. I can do more as each day progresses. The pain lessens up also. Keep pushing and keep working everyday. I didn't stop because of pain because I wanted to make sure that I stayed with it. I do my workout in the morning before work. I'm really proud of myself!

    Hi All, I'm Peggy, I started on the 1st and had to stop for 2 days due to technical difficulties but back at it today. I've started and never fininshed a few times, I hope to make it through to the end this time, by doubling up a few days. I have to go out of town on the 28th and make up for the 2 days I skipped. I hope this group helps me stay motivated and I can help you stick with it!

    Hi, thanks for this group. (Like someone else said, I joined another as well but I need all the support I can get!)

    I just learned about the 30 Day Shred today on the MFP message boards, so I looked it up on YouTube and gave it a shot. I have been doing some cardio recently so I thought I could tackle this but I had to rest in the middle and I'm sooo weak now I am not sure if I will be able to do my normal treadmill tonight. I will keep at it, though.

    I am hoping adding this every day pushes me off a plateau though I understand from others the benefits are more in inches than pounds. Looking forward to getting to know you all in the next month!

    Me too, I started yesterday not knowing there was a group and this is perfect. I really feel that group challenges keep me more motivated. I am in one, lose 20lbs by x-mas and just reached that goal today, 3 weeks early. I really wanted to start something else. I have quite a bit to lose so wanted to give 30DS a try, again. I don't think I've ever actually finished all 3 levels so this would be an accomplishment.
