I wanted to find a group of friends for support that was on the same (or close) 30 Day Shred schedule that I was. If you wouldn't mind, please post a message here and I will add you as a friend.

Thanks!

    I did! I've done it before, a long time ago, and decided to go back to it now that I'm getting back on track after a few months off the wagon. Friend me if you like :)

    I am starting today! I have 34 days until vacation so I am not giving myself a choice but to stick with it! Feel free to add me.

    I have completed 30DS once in the past but stopped for a while because I got bad shin splints from all the jumps. I have recently taken up jogging with C25K, and now just started 30DS today again! I am hoping to do both at the same time. Feel free to add me!

    I'm starting week one back up again today. Plan on going 30 straight. I actually finished up week 1 early last week but had to stop as I got sick.

    Does everyone plan on going 30 days straight or taking one day off per week for rest?

    I started last Monday and only did 1 day! I can't do the darn jumping jacks! Does anyone else struggle?

    I won't do 30 days straight. My goal is to do 30DS 3-4/week then on the other days do Pure Burn Super Strength (Bob Harper, lifting not much cardio, 20 minutes) and run/walk at the gym. 6 days/week total. I'm doing a diet bet on dietbet.com starting today, so I'll do 30DS for the month basically.

    I went and picked up some lighter weights and a yoga mat for my hard floor to do the push-ups this weekend, so I am starting today also! Feel free to add me as well, always looking for some motivational pals.

    Make sure to take measurements before hand. The way I've been seeing it is you might not see the pounds drop but you'll see inches go.

    I'm on my last week of it. I have not gone straight through, but I'm incorporating it with other things as well. My goal was to be done with it by now and on to Insanity, but I'm not ready and I don't want to give up on Insanity again! So I might start 30DS again as soon as I finish and try to push straight through while still doing my other workouts (C25K--I'm starting week 4, yoga, pilates, and the cardio/fitness things I do at work). And my second time through I'm going to try to not do any of the modified workouts, and actually use 5 lb weights the whole time (I switched b/t 5 lbs, 2.5 lbs, and, well, 0 lbs depending on the exercise.)
    Hopefully by next month I'll be ready for Insanity, if anyone wants to join let me know! I could definitely use an accountability partner.

    I am starting 30DS again today. I started it a few weeks ago and my allergies got the best of me, so I skipped a day and turned out to skip more days, and I've been planning to do it again!

    Great idea bsalvato... I took a few pictures this morning, but no measurements. Will do that tonight!

    I have it but have never done it consistently. Would love to see results in 30 days. I think I'll start today! :)

    I was amazed that I felt my butt muscles after doing the majority of Day 1. I felt good actually to know that this program will work if I do it!

    I'm starting today too! I'll probably do a rest day (hopefully, I keep it to only one day) I struggle at times with the jumping mostly because, after 4 children, my bladder & I have real difference of opinion! So sometimes I'll run in place instead. But feel free to add me, I'll take all the support I can get ;)

    I am starting tonight...for the first time ever! My plan is to do it straight...no rest days. But my questions is...should I incorporate other exercise as well??? Or is this enough??? I am a devotee to Leslie Sansone walk at home DVD's.

    I want to start tonight also, but the last time I attempted it, I too, like the other poster, couldn't get through all the jumping jacks! That is pretty sad, haha

    I'm still trying to decide. I even watched the video to pump myself up and tell myself I can do this, but man, if I stop...what then? I wonder if I could push myself as far as I can and then start over tomorrow and see if I can go a little further. Maybe that would work! Good luck to all of you who have decided, I may be there with you :)

    Jumping jacks were killing me - especially since Jillian's like 'there's no modification. 400lb people can do this'. I did a few modified anyway. But I know from past experience that they become doable soon if you stick with it.

    Hey I started 30 day shred today as well. Would love some new friends that are doing this program too for support and motivation. As I typed this I just finished Day 1. Not terrible...but hard enough that I'll need a support group! Friend ME!!! :o)

    I'm ok at the jumping jacks for the most part, can't do nearly enough pushups!
    I'm planning on doing mine with a rest day every week.
    Feel free to add me :)

    Please feel free to friend me! I too am starting today after just having completed Insanity. Looking forward to the slower pace. Hoping to lose at least 5lbs to get into the 180s! I'm afraid that I won't be challenged like I was with Insanity so I hope that my 5lb and 8lb weights will do the trick. So excited!
