Woo Hoo here we go! I'm going measure and weigh myself right before I start day 1. I think everyone should measure if you can, so we know exactly how much progress we've made and how GREAT we're doing!

I'll see you all tomorrow! :D

    Any suggestions on how to log 30 day shred? Just done my first workout but don't know how to log it.....

    hey my fellow english girlie! I asked the same question and was advised to log it as basic circuit training. I was a little disappointed it only seemed to burn 193 ( I think?) cals but we'll see.
    This will be a really good week to see if this works. I'm on diet chef and due to a major screw up, my food wasn't delivered yesterday so having to go it alone and organise all my food and count cals. Oh, that sounds seriously pathetic and lazy!! I'm honestly not, I'm even a good cook but I work very long hours, without proper breaks so its not easy. Anyway, I'll be interested to see if the daily shred, minus my DC meals will shift those pounds. :smile:

    Ok so I just weighed in and took my measurements on July 31st. Weighed again this morning and no change from yesterday. I took some Pre-Shred pics to visualize progress.

    I'm in, too. But I need to know the proper way to take measurments of myself. I've only just weighed in.

    Here we go!

    Hey Pinkandloopy,I am interested to see if this works too! I haven't tried Diet Chef before but it's good that it fits in with your hectic lifestyle. I've gone back to calorie counting to see if this works. Did the 1st day of 30DS this morning but hurt my right elbow just after on a stupid door frame! My mum thinks I should go and get it checked out but i'll wait until tomorrow and see if it feels any better. Only trouble is, I am worried I might not be able to do the shred tomorrow so it's not the best start!

    Day 1 down. I would say that I knocked it outta the park, but I think Jillian kept kicking me back in to the dug out. LOL SO SORE

    Just finished D1 also. It was a bit tough, definitely needed a few very quick breathers. Shocked that it only bured 153 calories according to my HRM. Now its off to the gym for some more cardio and weight lifting too.
    Anyone have good websites on accurate body measurements, I have never done measurements but totally should.

    Is everyone trying to do this every day for 30 days?

    I logged it on MFP as "Circuit trainging general" and it said I burned 255? I don't know what to log it as, but I want to do this right.

    I'm going to try to do it every day for 30 days, but I get bored doing the same thing every day. I REALLY want to stick with it this time, though!

    I log the Shred as Circuit training (22 minutes) = 2 minutes warm up, 18 circuits, 2 minutes cool down.

    I personally would not trust MFP exercise calories at all, it said I burned 850 calories kayaking for 2 hours when it was actually 400. I am 195lbs, female, 26 yars old, 5'3 and burned 153 in that 30 minutes. I will post again tomorrow's calorie burn.

    I'm in! I did Day 1 this morning and almost passed out there at the end. I tried to take it easy when I felt winded, but I want the fat gone and pain is just fat leaving the body. At least I think that's what Jil was saying, I was trying not to toss the cookies at that point. I definately was sweeting like a dog and I feel great about it. I watch the BL and they are sweeting and ready to hurl and pass out, butI can never work out that hard on my own, well 30 Day Shred totally did it for me. Thank goodness it's only 26 minutes!!!

    I wore my HR monitor and it says I burned 326. The MFP calculator has never been that accurate for me, so I got a HR monitor a while ago and love it.

    Hope I can stick with this for the whole 30 days. BUT I am feeling great!!!

    the only thing I had trouble with was the hip rolls in the warm up! completely uncordinated :blushing: one leg still hurts so think I may have done something wrong.oops. Hoping to do it when I get home from work if I'm not too shattered and if I don't, I'm going to get up at 5.30 instead of 6 and do it before work. :wink:

    Count me in! Just did day 1....wow.....it kicked my butt! My face was so red at the end.....it was tough :tongue: I did have to stop a few times for a few seconds...I am soooo out of shape :ohwell: Worried about how sore I will be tomorrow! Is everyone going to actually do this EVERY day or take a day off here and there?

    I am going to try to everyday :sad: But we'll see... I am sure I'll end up taking off a day here and there, but if that has to happen, I will still do 30 total workouts. Here's to kicking some BUTT!!!! :drinker:

    Just did day 1, HOLY CRAP!! I am so wooped. i too had to take a few breathers and went from liking Jillian to now hating her. lol. i totally feel for the folks on BL now. I am so glad I found this website though. I would have never started this without all of you and am determined to complete it. I can't push myself like this on my own. I will also be going to the gym in the mornings before work so hopefully I will start seeing the "shredding".

    Just finished Day 1 and it was a lot harder than I was expecting! I haven't ever done much work towards upper body strength, and I feel like this will be very good for that.

    Just to add in for the calorie burn... I'm 5'3'' and about 160, and my HRM counted 250 calories burned. I was surprised that someone else mentioned being 5'3'' and had a much lower calorie burn. I'm not sure how you'd accurately guess without a HRM, but thought this might help to find some sort of average.

    After a few problems with finding a space to do the workout today, i FINALLY just finished Day One. I feel like I cheated a bit on a few of the exercises, especially the side lunges, bicycle crunches, and chest flies. I also probably should have watched through level one before doing it, but now I know what to expect tomorrow and will try to work extra hard on those things I skimped on today.
    That being said, HOLY SMOKES I don't think i've ever sweat so much in my life. It felt fantastic to finish that, even though it was so hard while I was doing it. I think Jillian is motivating at just the right time, like she knows when I'm about to give up. My arms are KILLING me, because I don't ever work out my upper body, so I'm really looking forward to that soreness tomorrow. I just hope I don't wake up not sore at all, because it'll mean I didn't work as hard as I should have.
    Here's to a great start everyone! See you all tomorrow :drinker:

    Just finished L1D1 and whoooo. I didn't think I'd have so much trouble with my upper body, but I found I couldn't keep lifting after about 5 or 6 with the squats and lunges. Maybe I should downgrade from 5lb weights. :P

    But I'm motivated to keep going! My boyfriend just bet me that I won't be able to stick it with it because I'm so busy, but I'm determined to prove him wrong.

    Congrats to everyone for getting off to a good start! Keep it up!

    I started today as well, and I also got my friend to get the DVD to see if she liked it. I didn't seem to burn a whole heck of a lot of calories per the MFP counter, but I feel great. I tried it once when I bought the DVD on Friday, second time tonight, I was able to go all the way through without having to stop.. Yaaa... I am going to see this all 30 days... And hit 60 to 120 minute step/salsa classes 3 times a week... Good Exercising To ALL!!!!!

    GOOOODDDD MORNING!!!! I started 30 day shred level1 day 1 THIS morning!!! i previewed it last night, and thought to myself, that looks easy, maybe I'll have to start with Level 2 BOY OH BOY was I WRONG. Level1 Day 1 Kicked my butt (Litterly HAHAAHA) But got it done!! I'm also, doing day one of Making the Cut, this afternoon, it is also one of Jillians programs!!!! Lets work it out!!!!

    ( i posted on the old thread too oops LOL)

    I did my measurements and the test on Sunday. Was pleased with my test results!!!

    edited to add-- ps for those wondering how to measure yourself it you buy making the cut it spells it all out in there. The book was only like 12.00 dollars or so gives you some great reciepes and a whole bunch of other GREAT information, i definatly reccommend this book even if you don't want to start the making the cut works outs just yet.

    bree....I think I am going to start soon here...day 2 for me also. I am also sore...not terribly..but sore. I am wondering how this is going to go once I start....wondering if I will be able to do it when I am sore.

    After I finished shredding last night, I was worried I wouldn't be sore at all. I got all nervous because in my mind, not being sore means I wasted my time. I woke up this morning with sore arms, but nothing else. Since I did the shred so late last night, though, I guess the soreness didn't quite set in because it just keeps getting worse! My legs and butt hurt! I still don't feel anything in my abs (yet?) So I'm looking forward to working them twice as hard tonight! Day 2 will be interesting!
