    A friend is sending me her copy so hopefully I'll start in a few days!

    What size weights does everyone start with? I just realised I only have my boyfriends 'bag of sand' weights at home and that just wont work :)

    Hi folks, I started the shred on Monday.... My thighs are in AGONY!!

    Working through it though, will do my day 3 when I get in from Work tonight

    Really impressed with it, amazing how much difference an intense 20 minutes can make. Looking forward to measuring inch loss on day 30

    Well I just found out yesterday that I am going to be taking 2 - 3 classes at a time in the accelerated adult learning format for the next 12 months until I graduate with my degree. Whew. Gonna be a crazy year.

    I think I'll keep my mornings as study time, and my evenings right after work for Turbo Jam. I need the energy boost at the end of the day anyway. There's no way I can study after a day of work and exercising the dog.

    I'm new to the community forums here. I take it you girls are doing the Jillian program? What else do I need to know for this 30 day challenge? It's M - F exercising and off on weekends?

    We are literally doing "30 Day Shred" a workout DVD you can find online, at Wal-Mart, etc. You might consider it since you are about to be so busy! It is a butt-kicking 20 minute workout - circuit training - it offers 3 levels of workouts.
    If you prefer turbo jam........awesome! :) You can consider this your 30 day turbo jam challenge! :)
    I personally am taking weekends off....some are working right through them!
    This forum is a great venue for support from some great ladies I have recently become acquainted with. :)

    Level 1 day 3 complete! The push-ups were easier this morning, but the lunges are still quite tough! Had to take a couple of 5-second breaks!
    BUT I DID IT!!!! :happy:

    Just did L1 D2. The family couch potato wouldn't let me get any TV time yesterday. Grrr. It was decidedly easier to keep up though. So glad I decided to stick with it this time.
    I wasn't sweating bullets according to my sister but balls. Meanwhile she's just sitting there watching me and laughing. I told her to try it and she shut up. Ha!! GOOOOO me!

    jumping on board with y'all....just did L1D2 (started a day after you guys) and my arms and legs feel all wobbly :happy: LOVE IT!
    Jillian is kicking my butt and it feels good to be sore! I'm on the road for 7 1/2 hrs tomorrow and then work 12 hours shifts for the next 3 after that, so hopefully I will still squeeze in a good butt kickin' !!!

    Hi Shredders,
    took day off to rest heel - and per google my symptoms seems to be for something called plantar facilitis? Anyway - they recommend "heel cups" which I scored at walgreens for not too much money - plan to try them out after board meeting tonight - probably won't get home til 10pm and have to be up by 430am. It's going to be a really long day. Going to play it by ear and see what my energy level is. Glad to be in it with you all. My diet was off yesterday - but back on track today w/ my gnc lean shake (it's so good!!)
    Hopefully the heel cup will lessen the pressure during the jumping around !!

    Make it a fantastic day everyone,
    Janet

    Well, I have not started with the shred as planned just yet. The night before I planned on starting I was up most the night with 2 fevered kids. Took them both to the Dr. yesterday and they both have strep throat. I do Plann on starting in the morning though. I have been riding my stationary bike also. I feel like that at least helps a little bit.
