    Add me! I'm looking for motivation from positive women. New to site, have lost about 20 pounds so far. I am interested in the 30 day shred. Do you just watch them on YouTube?

    Hi Girls,

    I just saw this thread. Mind if I join? About this time last year I was doing 30DS almost every day and running (3-4 miles). I lost about 10 pounds (2 motnhs) and I was finally able to start doing push ups. I’ve lost focus since then and I would love to do it with some support this time.

    So glad I find this!
    Is it to late to join?
    I was doing JM extreme shed and shred, but getting bored! Need to add something else to the mix lol.
    I completed 30ds in January and did ripped on 30 in feb.
    I did level 1 day 1 this morning. It was surprisingly ok!! The 1st time I did 30ds day 1 I thought I was going to die lol. I will post my stats tomorrow.
    Can't post my weight only inches. My scales have broken!

    I started March 4th too, but just found this thread.
    Starting wt 217.4 (on March 4)
    chest 37"
    waist 36"
    hips 45.9"
    BF% (from scale) 43.4%
    Going to weigh/measure after each 10 day level is completed. I, however, am taking a day off each week so I plan to complete all three levels by April 7/8.

    I agree! Day 3 I was so sore, every time I walked it felt like my calves were rubber bands about to snap and I had to brace myself to sit on the toilet, lol. I have 3 different sizes of hand weights and have to use the 2lb ones for the side lunge w/ raise and I still have a hard time finishing the set!

    Just wondering how I would log this in as exercise? I'm excited about this - it will help me knowing I'll be doing this with all of you guys! I need motivation! :)

    I do it under circuit training.

    I did mine under low impact aerobics.

    I just received a tip to record it under Curves Circuit Training. I had been using Circuit Training General (logged 25 minutes) and it gave me an inflated number of 323 calories burned so I changed it to Curves Circuit Training and it gave me 222 cals for 28 minutes, which sounds more accurate to me. If possible though use a heart rate monitor. I don't have a HRM.

    I was doing the raises with 5lb weights but may need smaller just to get through the excercise! I am also going to measure after completing each level :) I sent you a friend request so we can keep each other motivated and you can listen to me whine about how sore I am

    I think today I'm gonna take a day off. I went to the gym and did 33 minutes on the elliptical (fat burn setting) and some ab work. I got home and attempted to do day 3, L1, but I couldn't even get through the first circuit :/

    I am currently on day four! And it's hard! But I'm already addicted especially as it is 20 minutes which is much easier to fit in. I can't do full push-ups and find the skipping a killer but I determined to keep at it

    Maybe I'll try doing day 3 after work tonight. I'm just too tired and sore to think about doing it right now.

    I am on day 5 although I switch up between levels 2 and 3 each day to challenge myself I also take Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursday lets see what the outcome is in 30 days!!!!! I was wondering if I should push through each day working out or take one day rest? I really don't want to take a day rest because I don't want to lose my motivation but I also don't want to over work my body advice please

    I took a day of rest after day 4, did day 5 last night, and saw a HUGE improvement in my endurance! I actually threw in a couple of big-girl push-ups :happy: I think the day of recovery made all the difference.

    Are you supposed to take rest days or do the 30 days straight through?

    And by rest days, I mean do cardio or other things.

    Little late, but I'm so in! I have the healthy eating down, but am just not motivated enough to work out. This will be good for me! Starting tomorrow as it's weigh-in day and monthly measurement day anyway.

    Just did day 3! Phew. My elbows didn't crack really at all during push ups! I feel like I improved from previous days.

    What are everyone's favorite parts and parts you hate? I think I like the chest fly, butt kicks and various sit ups the most. I hate the side lunges.

    YAY, I ended up doing day 3 level 1 after work tonight! I feel good :) I feel like I'm starting to get better too. I'm getting better at the squat press. However, the punches kill me lol... my legs burn so bad while doing them! I wish Jillian had more ab work in the workout too.
