My name is Aimee. I am about 25lbs over my goal weight. I have hovered around this weight since having my daughter 1 year ago. My biggest problem is keeping my schedule consistent enough to keep working out and keeping my house stocked with healthy choices.
I'm starting the 30 days tonight! I am excited to start losing the weight again and see results! If i go more than 2 days or so without posting, feel free to give me a friendly nudge.

Hi! I just started too! I can't wait to see results. I've got about 50 pounds I would like to lose. Of course I know it will take longer than 30 days!! I'm hopeful and I know it's not an easy challenge. I'm walking about 30-60 minutes as well. It's a pretty intense work out on that DVD for a beginner! Consistency is key for me! I'll be looking forward to your progress and success!! Yay!0

Hi everyone! I'm a mum if two girls (4 and 1) and I was never one to excercise. I lost 2st last year on various diets, but still have another 20lbs to go. Never thought I will catch the fitness bug! Thanks to Jillian I've changed my way of thinking and decided to do the healthy thing for a change
I'm nearly done with ripped and even though I haven't lost much weight, I can see my body changing. All the best to you 0 -
Hi...my name is Michelle and I'm in the process of trying to get healthy and in shape. This has normally been difficult for me to do. I usually start then get bored and re-vert back to my old ways. I am currently doing a combination of things. First of all I started with 5:2 IF way of eating. Second I started the Jillian Michaels 30DS on Tuesday. I'm doing excellent with the diet portion and home I can do equally well with the work-out portion. Any advice to make it easier to stick with the workout would be greatly appreciated. I've currently lost 20 of my 35# to reach my goal. But in the process, I would like to get toned and in excellent shape.0

Hi all
Hope you don't mind me joining! I'm doing the 30 DS and started on Monday. I plan on doing it Monday - Friday and taking Saturday and Sunday off. I did it at the beginning of last year and have decided that it's time to do it again!!
Please don't feel disheartened during Level 1 if you don't lose any weight, some people even gain. The scale didn't move for me on Level 1, but I did lose inches. Best thing to do is take pictures and measurements when you start.
Together we can do this!!!!0 -
I am starting it today as well. Hopefully I can talk my oldest daughter in to doing it with me 0
-
I'm about 20 pounds from my goal weight and have been doing this since Monday. I am ONLY doing the workouts not the diet- I'm using the diary here to help me with the diet. I am using the Total Body Revolution, which is actually a 3 month program. I hope you guys don't mind me joining though!0

My name is Teresa I am a first time mum to a gorgeous little boy who is 5 months old on Saturday. I attempted the 30 day shred a couple of months ago, only to get halfway through and the full videos which were previously free on you tube, but were now charging. so i threw in the towel :P i have just recently bought the DVD instead so i can use it whenever i like so i am starting again tomorrow. Hopefully i can stick it out. My little one doesn't have very long naps during the day and wont give me half an hour to work out in his awake time atm. lol. super clingy but its worth a shot right?
Good luck everyone xx0 -
Hi! I am 23 year old mother of a two year old little boy and I am in the process of simply trying to get to a healthy BMI as well as to a toned, in-shape body. I was very fit in high-school and actually gained a lot of weight when I moved out on my own due to unhealthy eating habits. When I started eating well during my pregnancy I ended up at a healthy weight immediately post-pregnancy! I then ended up losing another 20 lbs during my son's first five months by simply eating healthy and working out regularly, but I reverted in my old habits during a stressful time and gained it back. I'd now like to lose about 30 lbs overall and set a good example for my son so that he has a healthy relationship with food and takes care of his own body! I think the scheduled nature of the 30 day shred will be good because I won't want to "undo" my work of I have cravings on Day 4 for example and end up back at Day 1! I started today and I actually enjoyed it!0

Hi!! Im 26 almost 27. I have a lot of weight to take off. I started losing weight last year. Slowly but surely. I lost almost 30 lbs in the last year. But I'm still 10 lbs away from my first "mile stone". My biggest challenge is going after those 10 lbs. So I decided to join to give myself a boost. Also because my problem area is definitely around my waist, or lack there of. I'm looking forward to challenging myself and loosing 20lbs in the next few months. Then it will be time for stage 2 of my weight loss. Here I go!!0

Started the 30 Day Shred 4 days ago! I'm hoping that by joining this group I will be more inclined to complete the full 30 days (this is my 3rd attempt). Oh well, here goes nothing!0
-
Hello! I started 30-day Shred today and I'm determined to meet this challenge I've told myself that there are NO more excuses so here I am:embarassed: Looking forward to getting through this with all of you. 0

Does anyone know if this exercise is in the database? I tried to search for it but no luck. How is everyone recording this as part of their exercise? TIA!!0

Hi I'm Ashley. The only form of meat I eat is fish but my dietary issue is my sweet tooth! I'm hoping to lose 60 lbs total and praying Jillian can help me take that down by 15-20lbs in the next month. Excited to start today!0

I love the 30 ds. I lost about 4lbs a week doing
it. Summer is here and I'm trying to start it again.0 -
AH! Im so glad I found a group for 30 DS. I had tried it before but got bored with it. I think having a community will help. I will start again tomorrow morning! So excited.0
-
I found it under circuit training. That is the closest thing I could find. Congrats on starting!0
-
I'm on day 7. When do I switch to level 2? I still cheat on pushups and its a hard workout.0
-
That's what I use too0
-
I didn't even think of looking up circuit training -- which is far more appropriate than "aerobics - low impact" which is what I used to record my first day. Thanks for the help -- now I just need to make it through day 2

I started 30 day shred 5 days ago; definatly feeling the benefits already , still on level one and planning moving to level 2 on day 7. I love the fact I can fit it in if not enough time for gym , even got my kids joining in.0
-
I couldn't find it in the database, but I wish it was!0

You can do it Merrylass4ever! I'm only one day ahead of you and day three was easier! You deserve it! You can do it!!0
-
jakesgirl, thanks for the encouragement! I'm catching up to you :laugh: -- I just completed Day 2 Level 1 and I am thrilled to be DONE (with the "shred" for today) ... now I have another 5,000 steps to walk to meet my Fitbit exercise goal for the day. WOO HOO, I'm NOT giving up this time:bigsmile:0
-
Day 5 Level 1 complete! Might I add, I absolutely HATE the anterior raises/side lunges!!! I digress, I shall continue on. What size weights are you ladies using? 0
-
Week one, day one complete! I am so much stronger than the last time I attempted to do this. I followed it up with Day 4 of 5 from the daily hiit beginner challenge.
I am worried though, because at the end of the month, I am hosting people for a week and a half. How do you squeeze in these workouts in a tiny apartment full of guests?0 -
Merrylass4ever, I am so stoked for you! See, you're already doing it! Lets never assume that we can't! I just finished my workout too! I am so glad it's done hahaha! I know I'm getting somewhere when I glow! Hooray us! All if us women getting it done and proving to ourselves we can do it! Yes we can! Yaaaa us!0

I'm using two pound weights. I figure at this level I'm going to give myself resistance but I don't want to kill it. That will come later u hope lol!0
-
Ohtender, congrats on your first day!! When your guests are visiting, you can either invite them to work out with you OR give them the opportunity to explore on their own. It can be a lot of fun to do an exercise video with friends:drinker:
jakesgirl, I should have started with 2lb weights instead of the 5lbs but I know that if I use the lighter weights, I tend to wobble like a weeble when I'm doing the lunge/bicep curl combo :bigsmile:0 -
Merrylass4ever,
Lol! Wow! That is awesome! 5 lbs would do me in haha! My arms get really tired doing the workout. My lower body seems on though. Day five here I come!0
