Hi all! I'm in, I started on Monday and I'm loving it. Sore but the feeling of success you have after you've done the workout is so worth it! Will let you know how tomorrow goes!0

(The idea of a blog sounds fab! nursee67...how do we go about doing that? )
I believe that you just write a blog...then post the URL on this thread...we can all subscribe to it. Each time you update...weekly or whenever...people can reply with their weights and measurements.
I am currently involved in a Losing for Life challenge and that's what our leader does.
I will message you the link then you can see what I am talking about.
Not quite sure about the quote thingie...0 -
I am really excited for Friday - that is my normal weigh in day so I will def start then. I cant wait to give it another go.
I started the shred in Feb, but work got crazy and leaving early and not getting home until late.
Its best if you have hand weights, but you can use cans of soup or anything that you can hold in to easily while doing something.
Good luck everyone, you will be sore for a few days

i just finished day two of level one and i feel SO fantastic...im sweaty which is a FANTASTIC thing for me because im NOT a sweater unless its INTENSE so i know this is going to be a fantastic thing for me!!!!!!!!! I cant wait until tomorrow!!!!!!!0

Just got the DVD! I'm ready but scared at the same time! I've never done a workout dvd before... I'm not an intense exerciser but I want to be. I plan on taking a look at the DVD tomorrow but probably will not get the chance to actually start until Monday the 17th. I need to buy hand weights and I have classes all weekend. Anyone else new to the "workout dvd" world?0

Hi
I am new to MFP and have done the 30 day shred at home on my own in the past and would love to enroll in this new fitness challenge so if you don't mind I would love to hop on board with you folks. Please let me know if it would be ok to join your group thanks happy shredding :bigsmile:
Lori:flowerforyou:
Of course you can join :happy:
Your previous experience will help us get through it too!
How did you find it before? What can we expect from the first few days? I am anxiously excited to get started now!
Hi Natalie,
Thank you so much for letting me hop in on this challenge I am so excited to have the support of others while doing Jillian Michaels:sad: (Jillian and I have a love/hate relationship she loves to drill me and I just plain hate her... just teasing!!! seriously at first I hated having to do the workout it was hard but at the end of the 30 days I was loving it!!)
I did the program back in the fall and actually completed the full 30 days and was doing great with the workout until vacation and Christmas and going back to work and it has been non-stop ever since. I am super excited to start again I have a ton of fellow co-workers who own the video and love it!! The first week I was sore but I certainly would work at a pace thats comfortable for you and do not rush moving to stage 2 until you're ready and likewise withstage 3. You will be amazed at the end of 30 days how far you've come yeah!!!!:bigsmile: So Happy Shredding and thanks again I am looking forward to getting my butt kicked by good ol' Jillian gotta love it and spending 30 days with this support group

Hey everyone, I started it this morning, I love it! It's tough but it flies by in no time because of how she splits it up into 3 rounds, and you always know how much time you have left on each bit.
My friend's got my weights at the moment so I did it this morning with 2 bottles of wine... haha.. I think the fact that I have 2 bottles of wine in my room and no weights shows how much I need to do this
I have no scales or tape measures so I'm going to have to judge the effects of this solely on how I feel/look.. which is going to be quite a nice change for me actually.
Good luck everyone! 0 -
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, i weighed myself this morning...........a THREE POUND WEIGHT LOSS already!!!!!!! in two DAYS!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
I think my muscles are grouchy at me for giving them a new workout. My scale was up a pound from yesterday... boo. I've also been under on my calories on my workout days, by as much as a few hundred sometimes. I think I need to start having healthier snacks more frequently during the day to boost my metabolism and so my calories aren't so far under. I don't want to go into starvation mode when I've been doing so well. I've been losing at least a pound a week since I started, usually more. I'm planning to do 45 minutes on the elliptical today after work and then come home and do the 30DS on top of it, instead of 55 minutes on the elliptical. At least I'm not really sore from yesterday, aside from my abs a bit. Definitely an improvement from when I tried it January of last year and could barely walk to class... lollll0
-
I finished Day 1 last night. WOW. It was really intense (in a good way.)
So my husband decided he wanted to give it a go, too. He's much more athletic than I am, and I thought he'd breeze through this. No way. He was DYING!!! Jillian totally kicked his butt It was pretty entertaining to watch him struggle through the circuits, and made me feel better about myself for being able to complete the workout.
Here's to a challenging month!!

i did 8 days in a row last month and then of course something came up....i will do my best to get the 30 day shred into my schedule and participate in this challenge...thanks for organizing...0

I love the JM 30 day shred. I have been doing it many more days than 30... a coupla months really. I have lost 21 pounds, and I have stayed at level 3. She has COMPLETELY changed the shape of my body. I've been doing it long enough that I'm looking for more JM stuff!
You guys are going to love it! When you upgrade a level, you think you're going to die... but that's when you start seeing REAL change! It's amazing! My body changed before my eyes. I couldn't believe it!
I have some rotator cuff injuries and this video actually made me stronger, and I don't struggle with them as much anymore. Just guard your injuries and do what you can.
GO GO GO GO! AMAZING STUFF!
Have fun guys!0 -
We are in!! We rock!0

Today I will do my 4th day of level one and I am excited. After the first two days I was sore in my legs, but I woke up today and NOTHING. Not sore! I can't wait to do day 4 today. I have already seen a 1 pound weight loss since starting 3 days ago.0
-
This sounds like a great idea... good way to motivate eachother! Especially for those of us that don't have workout partners. I am so in! However, I don't have the DVD... is there anywhere you can buy the DVD or do you have to order it online?0

HI there, I am in the UK and purchased mine for £5.99 from amazon...although I have heard it being a supermarkets in the US? I'm not actually sure...the only thing with online purchasing is the time you have to wait to get the item...I'm still waiting for mine! Maybe some others could help you locating the dvd?
Fantastic that you want to give it a go too....you've got plenty of workout partners now :happy:0 -

wow...1lb in 3 days...that is fantastic...what is even more fantastic is your lack of sore legs! That was kind of worrying me a little but a few people have said that the soreness subsides after you get the first few days over with...so I'm really looking forward to getting the DVD and having a go myself0 -

I soooo understand where you are coming from..I've just managed to get my OH onto MFP and when I told him about this DVD he looked so excited! He was very fit 5 years ago before we met...but my homecooking soon out that right :ohwell:
Will be interesting to see how we cope over the first few days
Glad you're enjoying the programme...I can't wait to start :drinker:0 -
Going to buy some dumbells tomorrow, anyone who is the UK know where I could get them?
Would they sell them in a sports shop? I can't give any examples because sports shops are only now becoming a friend of mine :blushing:
Keep up the shedding peeps...you're all doing fantastically...your stories are very inspiring and giving me confidence to tackle this head on when my dvd finally arrives
These workouts are messing up my spelling bigtime! sorry guys0 -
D1L1 all done! Did a 4.7 Km walk in under 45 mins then went home and did the Shred, it sure does help to limber up before the workout. D2L1 today!

Will post mesurements on Saturday which is my normal weigh in day0 -
I'm in guys!! I have done the 30 Day Shred several times but never on a consistant basis, so I'm anxious to see what changes happen when I do it daily!! Sometimes I have a really hard time finding the motivation to do it. I'm home with my 2 year old all day....and honestly, when she goes down for a nap....I really wanna go down with her!! So, I may need a little help staying on track!! Here are my stats:
Waist: 28
Hips: 34
Thigh: 220 -
Hey Fellow Shredders,
I am away this weekend for a ladies retreat so I will be starting my shred on Monday the 17th excited to get started!! I wouls also recommend a yoga mat for the floor portion of Jillian's exercises (we have ceramic tile in our workout room and it's not very comfortable to be working out on and slippery at times) happy Thursday!!

Hehe yep you can buy them at sports shops, Decathlon are good if there's one near you? e.g. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/pvc-dumbbells-2-x-3kg-4193022/#
If not I'm sure any other sizeable sports shops will sell them 0 -

Hi guys
30 Day Shred (May 15th - June 15th) BLOG!
Thanks to Nursee for suggesting this idea! Sometimes the forum groups get a little swamped in with all of the new posts being added...Please still coming on here though
I've started a blog where we can all log our beginning measurements and our final measurements following the 30 day shred.
Maybe we could possibly do measurements after every 10 days? Not sure yet...what do you guys think?
I hope I do a good job at this and don't let any of you guys down.....but as long as we're getting fitter and more toned....nothing else really matters does it? :bigsmile:0 -
HOLY COW! I decided to go ahead and start instead of wait until Monday once I had my hand weights. After about 10 minutes I thought I was going to die (even without the weights). Also realized I DEFINITELY need a sports bra! This DVD is kicking my butt! I will try again tomorrow and hopefully make it through! I have to admit... I think it would encourage me more to see overweight girls doing these exercises instead of super skinny chicks. However, I'll definitely be back at it tomorrow!! 0

I'll be doing this with you all too! @DAWNIEQT Try the Enell sports bras, they are compression bras and work really well. Worth the $$$. You can friend request me if you want to see each others progress.0
