Hi everyone - I'm Kathy from Euharlee, GA -
48 yrs old
5'7
199.5 lbs (have lost 36 pounds thus far)
Goal weight - probably between 155-170 - just have to wait and see how I feel when I get close
Started the 30 DS on my 48th birthday - April 4 - doing it Monday - Friday - not on weekends - because I don't want an audience and i feel the whole house shakes when I do jumping jacks) - so I have done it four days thus far -
I did not take measurements - that frightens me - but I did take a couple of before pictures - will be interesting to see if there is a difference

WE GOT THIS PEOPLE!

Hi everyone,
I'm Corinne and I started shreddin' yesterday! Well, actually tried it the day before and quickly got overwhelmed, sat down and watched it. At least I was drinking water. LOL
I was going to just try doing the first segment and work into doing the whole thing but I found once I got past the pushup part..I just kept going and finished! Very proud of myself. :happy:
I find it's a great workout, for me, as I can't get to the gym right now. I like that it is short, you don't need a lot of room/equipment. Once I get through the 30days, I think I will continue using it for strength training and add in some cardio....
As much sweating as I was doing, I'm surprised that we don't burn more calories, but, as long as I see some results it's all good!
Would love to finally be able to do a pushup!!
Good luck everyone!!

My name is Kelly. I have steadily gained weight since I started to date my boyfriend, 35 pounds in the past 3 and a half years!! He has a fantastic metabolism and has stayed the same weight since the day we met. I really want to get back into shape. I feel like I should be so much healthier then I am at 25. I have tried several times to do the 30ds and always wind up giving up. (never made it past level 1) I started doing it yesterday, so a few days behind. I'm really hoping that with a group it will help keep me accountable to actually make it through all 30 days!

Age: 25
CW: 170
Waist: 37.5"
Hips: 43"

Hi all.
I'm living in IL. Born and raised in Ohio. My husband is an active duty Marine, hes been in close to 9 years...
Im a mom to 1 gorgeous 4.5 year old.

This weight gain has literally changed my entire personaility. I do not go out anymore, I do not get dressed up, unless for work.... I literally find ways to hide.

I started this in the mornings when my husband is at the gym because I dont want him to know. It's bad enough I've gained weight and depressed about it....but he makes things worse with the comments he makes (which he doesnt know are "bad/mean" its the marine in him.

We are planning our first REAL family vacation (besides visiting him in Japan in 2011---when I was 135lbs) I'm huge, I hate taking pictures with myself in them and we are goingt o FL in June to Disney. I'm going to want to be in those for my daughter to look back on....but not looking at this.

My goal is to be at 150-145. My REAL goal is 135.
I would be happy fitting back into my size 8 clothes again even if I was 160.

I know I cant lose a ton of weight in 8 weeks...but i sure as hell can tone up and LOOK better.

Hello!

I'm 31 and mother of a 2 year old girl. I've attempted the Shred a couple of times but having recently had success with setting a 30-day challenge for myself (no sugary food), I thought I'd build on that and challenge myself to complete the Shred because I KNOW I CAN DO IT!

My stats:

Height: 5`6"
Weight: 136.8
Body Fat: 28.9%
Bust :35
Waist 29.5
Belly and muffin top (just below naval): 38
Hips 39
Thighs: 22
Calf: 13

I'm hoping to lose 5 lbs and get the awesome change in stomach area that others have doing this. My main goal is to reduce my body fat % as I honestly look 20-30 lbs heavier than I am right now.

I'm going to allow myself a day or two off a week because I think it's good to let your body recover BUT I'm going to keep going until I feel it's absolutely necessary before taking a day because it tends to turn into 2 days then 3, you get the picture!

I plan to get my clothes and equipment ready as my daughter is having her bedtime milk and then get to it straight away when she goes to bed. Sitting down then usually means I want to stay that way. Most of all, I'm going to stay positive and fly on autopilot to get it done without my brain telling me that it would be much nicer to sit down with a cup of tea

Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone!

OK, so, I am looking to start either the 30DS or JMBR (which I have done previously) on 15th April. Can't decide which one though. I experienced really good results with JMBR after 1 month, but I'm thinking to try something slightly different. Love Jillian's workout DVDs, so I'm sure I will be happy either way.

Here are my stats:

Age: 24
Height: 5' 5.5"
CW: 160lbs
GW: 140lbs

Feel free to add me so we can support each other :happy: I've found that this helps a lot

Good luck everyone x

Hey everyone!, :glasses:

I'm a late bloomer to the group but im here to kick butt!

I'm 24 in a month from today:flowerforyou:

I'm 5'4
CW 165lbs
GW 140lbs

I have 9 weeks to get in shape, as much as i can anyways I'm doing 30ds finished day 2 today, and also doing the 30 day squat challenge, i'm hoping to do an hour of cardio or yoga a day as well. I want to lose lbs and inches!:bigsmile:

Hi everyone,

I'm joining the group today. This will be my second time around. Completed the challenge about three weeks ago and decided to do it again. Today will be Level 1 Day 1. I'm working on the ole belly fat! Stubborn stuff, I'm telling you!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Chris

Hi Everyone. I started the 30 day shred last Friday and I skipped Sunday so I'm on day 3. It's kicking my butt!! Then again, it should...I haven't done any form of exercise is years other than walking so I'm exceptionally out of shape.

I'm hoping to lose 40 lbs by November so I can look good in a bathing suit. I'm hoping that the 30 day shred will give me the strength energy and motivation to stick to my goals.
