in Introduce Yourself
Title says it all! The videos are free on youtube. All you need are some 3lb dumbbells to start with. (I'll work my way up to the 5lb dumbbells on level 2 or 3)

I have read a TON of reviews from women my size (around 250lbs) that have gotten fantastic results. While they only lost 5-10lbs they lost about 1-2" from almost all areas on their body! The program is supposed to be done 30 days straight, no rest days. There are 3 levels, 10 days on each one. Each workout is supposed to take about 30 minutes. (I have read stories from women that found level 2 to be too difficult after 10 days so they stuck with level 1 until they were able to move on to level 2, etc. I have no issues with that... as I am not sure what my strength level for this type of workout plan will be)

I would really love to find some more women (or men!) to do this with me, and encourage/support each other! I would also like to find people who are wanting to share before and after pictures, since if we do it right, we should be able to see a difference! :)

Add me if you wanna start with me!

You know you've always wanted tone/definition to your body.... why wait?! :D

    I'll check out the videos on youtube today. Maybe modify, but I'd like to push myself harder for the next 30 days.

    I completed day one of level one! Only had to take two 5 second breathers, which was better than I expected. I used the 3lb dumbbells today but might use my 5lb ones tomorrow. I didn't feel the burn in my arms much. I'm sore, but I can't wait to feel it tomorrow.

    I think jillian michaels is trying to kill me! :laugh: day 4 is tomorrow...ugh...

    I'm only doing it weekdays, but feel free to add me if you want!

    I made it through L1D1 months ago...barely...knees shaking, wanting to vomit, drenched in sweat...just the one day, and I didn't come back till this week.

    This time seems less bad, and I've made it through 3 days in a row! We can do this! I still take some 3 second breaks, I cuss at the screen, but I don't need breaks in the cardio bits as of today!

    I am, however, walking like a duck every day after because of the soreness. :blushing:

    Hi guys,

    I am so glad I found a newer group that wants to do the Shred! I will look into tomorrow to see if i find on you tube! I am a member here for awhile, but just now really getting to use it. You need weights from the start up?

    BTW, does someone knows how to adjust the weight tracker? Mine doesnt show the differences. Also feel free to add me and if someone will answer this, feel free to send a private message in order for this topic dont get off topic

    I am part of the 30 day shred group and there is a forum on here... we all started on April 1st.
    I have tried this dvd a long time ago and never made it the whole 30 days, but I am determined to do it for 30 days this time.

    I missed day 3... so today I made myself do it twice (day 3 & day 4) so now I am very sore, but I can say that it feels like it is getting a little bit easier... just a little but that is a good accomplishment.

    I started mfp around your weight range and have a long way to go, so I'm hoping 30 day shred helps me with the inches because I haven't paid much attention to my inches just my weight.

    Feel free to add me anyone who is doing this dvd or needs motivation.

    I too am currently doing the 30DS - I did my 3rd level one yesterday. Just a quick note -> its NOT actually meant to be done 30 days in a row with no breaks.... The trainer, Jillian has said you should always have a rest day a week (which makes a ton of sense your body needs time to recover and actually build muscle).

    I'm doing the shred - am on day 4 today, feel free to add me. Yesterday I think was the worst day for me - today I don't feel so sore so it IS doing something. I feel less wobbly for sure :)

    Keep it up guys! :)

    I saw the other groups and have added a few people from those threads. But since we have different start dates I figured I'd post my own thread :)

    I'm on Day 5 of Level 1, so count me in!

    ETA: I've started the 30DS MANY times, but I never make it out of Level 1. I usually get side tracked and never finish. Maybe you ladies can help keep me accountable!

    Count me in and thank you so much for the youtube suggestion! Most of my home has tile except for the bedroom and I have no TV in that room so I'd decided not to try the 30 day shred. BUT, since it is on YouTube, I can watch in on my iPad and get up early every morning to get in a quick workout! Plus I can still get in some gym time in the evenings. Woot! Count me in!
