30 day shredders...starting Monday!

I can start on monday, but I have been doing shred for a while now. I just finished day10/level 2, so as of tomorrow, i will be on level 3. Is it okay if I still join? Oh, I'm not doing it everyday, I just want to do it 3 times a week because I go to the gym and take a zumba class throughout the week. but the shred is my only strength that I do. the rest is just cardio.

these are my stats from last month from mfp.

Waist 39.0 on 08/19/10
Hips 41.5 on 08/19/10
Thighs 22.0 on 08/19/10
Bicep 14.0 on 08/19/10
Chest 40.0 on 08/19/10

My current weight is 182.

I will take my measurements again on November 1. I haven't been as dedicated to the shred as I should have, but it's a great workout.

I am ALL IN for this!!!
I looovveee Jillian Michaels!
Well, except when I'm working out to one of her dvds haha then I hate her
I don't know how often I'll be able to post my weight though, since I don't actually own a scale

What are all the rules for this? Like, do we have a set weigh-in day?

Btw if any wants to add me for support while doing this, feel free
Cuz I'll need some support too haha

Im in..just got the dvd! do i need any weights or anything ? xx

You'll need some 3 or 5 lbs weights. I made the mistake of starting with 5's. Couldn't lift my arms the next day

My dvd still hasn't arrived :explode:

I'm going to stay with my mum for a week on tuesday as well, so unless it turns up tomorrow it'll be over a week till I can get started. So frustrating!!!

I'm still going to log my measurements tomorrow, and just join in when I can. Good luck everyone, let me know how you all get on with it!

you can get the dvd at walmart!!!! it's over by all the fitness equipment! hope this helps

I'm in, got the dvd last week, some one said it was a good workout but i haven't opened it yet. This will be a good reason to get it started.

be ready to get your butt wooped! lol the first time I ever did this workout I thought I was gonna die:sick: haha but it made me feel sooooooo good about myself for having done it

My Stats!!

Weight (as of 9/9/10, don't own a scale so I can't weigh myself often) : 217lbs
Bust: 45 inches
Below bust: 39.5 inches
Waist: 37 inches
Hips: 44.5 inches
Gut(pooch,lol) : 48 inches
Butt: 47 inches
Thighs: 29.5 inches
Calves: 18.5 inches

I'm hoping to see these numbers shrink!!

I'm in! I doing Zumba tomorrow, so I'll start Tuesday. I'll post stats soon too.

And has anyone seen Biggest Loser... Jillian is SCARY! Hopefully she'll be nicer in the video :laugh: heehee

Haleighallen - you don't own a scale?!?!?!? You go girl. I have an ISSUE with the scale, I use to get on like 8 times a day. And the only reason why I don't now is because my boyfriend hids the damn thing. He brings it out on Mondays so I can weigh in.

What is zumba? I've heard a lot of people mention it but idk what it is lol

And BL is my favorite show everrr!!!! But I don't have cable either >.< I just got my first apartment and can't afford it yet

And no, I don't own a scale, but that isn't by choice, haha. I just haven't been able to afford to get a nice one yet. But I'm working in it for sure!! And heyy, what you're boyfriend does isn't all that terrible. You'd get soooooo discouraged if you weighed yourself every day, because water weight always fluctuates. You should thank him for thinking about your sanity lol

Im in, I just havent had time to measure myself yet.

Make some!!!
Are you doing anything else right now besides browsing MFP?
Take a break and measure!! :bigsmile:

Day 1 level 1 done..... October 19 is the 30 day mark, I am hoping to see some wonderful results by then.
Recap of stats

Start weight: 172.5
waist 36
hips 41
thigh 23.75
bicep 13


now off for my walk with the dogs... Have a great day everyone.

So my mom has been hearing me talk about the shred and when she came over yesterdaym she asked if I could play a small snip-it for her. Well, she thought it looked easy so she asked if I could start it over and that we can do it together. I can''t tell my mom 'no I won't exercise' so I did it AGAIN, yep, 2x yesterday. I'm not nearly as sore today as I thought I'd be. So in a way, I've kind of done it 3 days in a row, this past Friday and 2 yesterday (making up for Saturday in a way). Not that I'm counting that here, but in my mind I am. So really I've completed 6 days, which kind of helps as my 2yr anniversary is Oct 18th and the weekend before I won't be able to do much of any exercise.

Are any of you planning on moving up to level 2 at a certain day or just whenever? I thought about changing on day 7, but that would be today, so I think I might play it and see how it is first, and if I'm comfy enough to go through with it I will, otherwise level 1 is nice and cozy. Besides I still can't get through the jumping jacks and jump rope back to back without taking a break. I plan on doing the shred later today, mid-afternoon-ish. Until then, I'm headed for a walk, pilates, and maybe WATP w/Leslie Sansone,

Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to read all your stories

I soo want in on this! I started 30DS last Monday and only skipped Friday this past week, so today will be day 7 of level 1 for me. I haven't done any measurements, but I will try to tonight when I get off work. I lost 2.5 pounds this past week weighing in at 128 this morning.

I think this is great to have to report in - I finally had to convince a friend to start doing it too, so I felt more accountable. This will definitely be motivation to stick with it. I would like to have 0-1 day of rest a week. Other than the DVD I'm not doing much; I try to go on long walks (around an hour) on Saturdays and Sundays, trying to get at least 3 1/2 miles each day. I'm also breastfeeding, having a 5 1/2 month old severly limits my workout time - so woo hoo for 30DS!!

Good luck to all and I'm ready to see the weight drop off for us all!

ME ME ME!! My scale reads 150.9lbs but I went to the Dr. today and their scale reads 153lbs. I am going to go by my scale since it is easier to keep track of weight loss or gain.

5'6"
197 lbs.
Hips: 45.5"
Waist: 33.5"
Thighs: 27"
Arms: 14.5"

I've had the DVD for a few weeks now and have done it a few times, but I'd love to start it up again (for real this time!) with some fellow shredders for support!

i will do this (thanks to SaraTN)
Getting a tape measure at lunch and will measure tomorrow morning and enter a new weight.
