    Hi I am Sandy, I live in Austin, TX my height is 5'3" and I weigh 154. I have been motivated to get back on track by one of my peers at work and have since lost some weight, but I went thru a slump and thought this was a great way to get back on. :)

    I have a soon to be 3 yr old daughter and 2 stepchildren. Its hard to cook right food all the time but working out with Jillian for 30 minutes is sooo helpful. I want to commit for a full 30 days again.

    HI Iam Tracey.
    I live in Ontario, Canada.
    5'2"
    CW 147

    I have a 3 1/2 yr old daughter & a husband who supports whatever I'm up to :heart:

    I've tried the 30DS before, but never make it past day 10 ... I'm committed to finish this time.
    I've been in a plateau for the last little while and I'm hoping this challenge will kick me over that.

    Sept 1st long weekend we are camping ( may I please start on 2nd?) I'll be hiking, and swimming, and otherwise still getting plenty of exercise on the 1st?

    Thanks for starting this group:happy:

    I'm Megan from Poolville, TX

    I'm 5'8" approx. 215lbs (not entirely sure b/c I haven't been able to get a scale yet; will know for sure by start of challenge)

    Honestly, I'd be happy with any loss in the 30 days whether it is big or small, a loss is a loss as long as I'm dedicated and trying my best :)

    Good journey on the road to health to everyone

    I'm Stacey and I'm in Worcestershire in the U.K.

    I'm 5'5" and 154lbs.

    I have this DVD at home and thought this might be a good reason to dust it off and commit to the 30 days as I was using it sporadically previously.

    I would like to lose between 8 - 10lbs by the end of September. I'm taking part in the Men's Health, Survival of the Fittest in Cardiff at the end of September and would like to be leaner and fitter by the time I'm lining up at the start line! x

    Hello there, I'm Meghan

    Currently 5'9" and 244lbs

    Right now I'm focused on tracking my eating, so I am looking for a new "goal" for September. I think exercise in addition to tracking is the best next step and I have the DVD so I'm in! Don't know about before and after photos yet, but would love to lose whatever I can (inches or pounds).

    Working on tracking my food but need to incorporate more exercise. Have the DVD's and started this before but excuses excuses excuses. Now it's time to skip the excuses and kick them right in the *kitten*! My goal is to lose some pounds and some inches. Looking forward to September 1st!

    Hi my name is Sarah, I am really excited about this group, Jillian's videos are great.
    I currently weigh 170lb and by the end of the video program I would like to drop at least ten pounds with some inches :)
    I have done this for half of the time before and ended up dropping fifteen pounds, but I got side tracked around the holidays... That won't happen this time:)

    Hello! My name is Karen. I'm from Bloomington, MN. I'm 5'6; CW is 152. I'm 35 with an amazingly supportive husband and two very silly kids.

    I love Jillian Michael's 30 day shred! I have had good success with her program in the past. I'm a bit of an emotional eater - I never am able to enjoy my success for very long before I am back to old habits. I am determined for this time to be different though! This challenge is definitely going to be fun!

    My goal is to lose pounds and inches, to be able to do a whole series of push-ups without dropping to my knees, and to stay consistent with my calories while going through this challenge.

    Good luck everyone:)

    Hello! My name is Katy and I live in Texas. I currently weigh 225lbs. I've already been doing the 30 day shred for two weeks and weighed 232lbs when I started. I understand this group starts September 1st but since I plan on stretching this workout to 90 days I would love to join yall! My plan is to do each level for 30 days instead of the suggested 10 days since I have a lot of weight to lose :)

    Hi. My name is Ali and I live in the UK. My start weight is 176lbs and I am 5 feet tall. I am 41. I don't have a weight loss goal in mind as i always find that if I don't achieve my goals I get demotivated. I will take before photos this weekend, and when i am brave enough I will post them! For the first few days of this challenge I am on holiday but I plan to take my portable dvd player along and do my best.

    Looking forward to getting started.

    Hello, I'm Amanda and I'm from Wisconsin.

    I'm 5'6" and my CW is 156lbs.

    I also have this DVD at home and thought this might be a good reason to commit to the 30 days and have other people pushing me. I would like to lose between 10 - 15lbs by the end of September. My goal weight would be 25 - 30lbs. My husband and I are traveling to Nashville at the end of September for our 2nd anniversary and I would love to feel better about myself and look healthier while we are there. I may start earlier than September 1st just because of our vacation.
    My goals are to stay accountable for the 30 days and help encourage everyone else.

    Good luck to everyone and we can do this!!! :)

    Count me in!

    I'm Sophie and I live in Perth, Western Australia.

    30 years old, 5'2", 125lb. I'm at a healthy weight but I'm still a lot fluffier than I'd like to be, and while I have pretty good aerobic fitness, I haven't done any strength training in forever! This is exactly the kind of challenge I need.

    Goals: I'm a bit loathe to put a number for weight loss down as I'm at the point where the scale moves reeeeeally slowly. It would be nice to see 55kg (121 lb) at the end of the month. I will take my measurements and hope to see some reductions there.

    Good luck everyone!
