Hi everyone! I'm Allyson, a 36 yr old mom of a 5 yr old, with a very busy schedule. I commute 2 hours a day, and so as a result I'm a late night workout person, usually after 9pm. I like doing it at night though.

I started the 30DS last month, but only made it to day 10. I'm excited to try again and stick with it this time! I hope a group will help keep me motivated.

Hi! My name is Ellie, I'm 18 years old and from London, England! Currently studying Politics and International Relations at university.

I would never describe myself as fat but I have always been one of those "almost skinny" people. My legs and arms are fine but my tummy still has a bit of pooch. I just want to feel good in a bikini this Summer.

I've seen other peoples amazing results and I can't wait to start!

I'm curious to know, what time of day is everyone working out? I'm a night owl myself and love my nightly workouts!

Whats up everyone? I just joined MFP 2 days ago with the specific intent to do a 30DS, hence my user name. Great timing I guess. Ive never really set my bar per say, I kinda just started working out and staying active.
As of today I am hitting the gym everyday for the next 30 days with a specific goal in mind, burn burn burn. Not all is limited to cardio, Some light lifting will accompany. The goal, 4-5 pounds free from my body to get cut and more defined for summer. Im ready!

I defnitely prefer doing the shred at night. I have WAY more energy, despite having worked all day. I feel like I get out of breath really easily when I try it in the morning, and I usually end up with a cramp.

Hi, I'm Mandy! I saw the challenge on here and decided it would be good to try. Me and my workout buddy have been doing turbo jam so now we switched over as of monday to 30 day shred.(i know it was a couple days early) Tomorrow we will be on level 3 and my body is hurting all over. I'm excited though! I have lost 26 lbs so far my goal is 50 lbs. I hope the shred can help!

Hi! I'm Jodie and I'm a 35 year old mother of 3 very active kids! I work full time and my evenings are spent running the kids around. I finished day 1 level 1 today... Yowza am I out of shape!

Yayyyy!!! 30 DS! I am Lois, mother of one adorable almost 4month old baby. I need to lose at least 35lbs...which I like to claim is all pregnancy weight, but the truth is I had let myself go long before that. I have started and stopped the 30DS a couple of times, so hopefully, I will stick with it now...with your help. I also hope to add some zumba every now and then and a few short baby wearing walks. So basically I am:

CW: 185
GW1: 170
GW2: 160
UGW: 150 (or if I really want the skinny, 140)

Hi All! :happy:

My name is Hannah and I'm 25 (soon to be 26 in 5 days!) years old and I work full time as an admin assistant. I love my job and my coworkers!! Most of my office is actually very healthy and most of them workout consistently, so that has lit a fire under my butt to work towards a healthier me. I am trying to reclaim my old body because I know I'm not healthy as I am right now! The healthy weight for my frame and height is 140. That's my ultimate goal, my more immediate goal is listed below.

I've done the 30DS before, but I have never finished the entire 30 days consistently. I try to get my workouts in before work (5:30am!!!) but some weeks that's not feasible. I have done all of the levels though, mostly because I get board with level one and I'm curious if I can do level 3 without dying. Haha!

I try to walk/jog three or four days a week, so I'll be doing this a little bit different than most. I like to do 30DS on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then do Couch to 5k on Tues and Thurs. I generally do a mile walk on my lunch break too (I'm very blessed to work right across from the state house and it's beautiful for lunch time walks).

Height: 5'6
CW: 225
GW1: 200
GW2: 170
UGW: 140 (the healthy weight for my height)

Looking forward to some support and encouragement as we all work towards finishing the 30 Day Shred!! :happy:

Thanks for making this group! I love this workout because it really fits all the strength training into a 30 minute workout. Being a mom of 3 I always need the extra time. I am going to try and do this workout in the afternoon while my son naps. Wish me luck! I am also in the need of friends if you would like to add me. Thanks!

I'm curious to know, what time of day is everyone working out? I'm a night owl myself and love my nightly workouts!

I had the same thought, since I prefer to do my video later in the day when I'm the only one home (no witnesses lol) So I decided to go running after breakfast. Then I'll be doing the video shortly before I cook dinner. Hopefully enough to keep a steady calorie burn? Idk. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing. HA! I just hope it doesn't make me want to eat a whole lot at dinner.

CW: 175/ size 12
GW: 160/ size 8-10

yay! i'm glad to see at least 1 other over-50 doing the shred! can i say, "i ain't as young as i used to be!". :happy:

I'm Ginger, 32 mommy to 2 wonderful girls...I work full time in a restaurant. I've started the shred a few times but never made it through all 30 days but I'm determined to this time. I'm on day 3 right now..No real goal wieght this time b/c I always seem to gain a few pounds when I start it...but by the end of may I'd like to be 185-186 ish.

Hi my name is Misti, I am 44 years old , I'm married and have four children, ages 17,12,11 and 4. My weight has gone up and down for years. But it has gone up and stayed up since I've been in my forties. It takes a lot more work to lose weight now than it did when I was in my twenties. So I started the 9 week challenge on mfp a couple of weeks ago and that is great! I just started the Jillian Michaels 30ds group and I like that too. I did it the first day, but I haven't been able to do it the past few days, because my husband was in the hospital for appendicitis. So that was a little scary. He's back home now and doing well so I can stop stressing a little. Unfortunately, I am an emotional eater, I try not to be but sometimes I can't help it. I've lost weight since I've been on this site but I'm sure I've gained a few pounds the last few days. But I will start back on Jillian's 30ds today and my "diet" tomorrow. So not to worry I just have to really hit it hard Starting tomorrow. Good luck everyone and God bless!
