    The 30-Day Shred is a program by Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser. All you need is the video and some dumbells and you're good to go. I've needed to shake up my workout so I'll be on it!

    I started today but I am in! This is my 4th time starting but I am going to stick with it this time! I took all my measurements tonight before I started so I can not wait to see all the inches I lose!

    The 30 day shred DVD by Jillian is AWESOME! The workout is literally about 22 minutes start to finish. And it is CHEAP! The DVD is anywhere from 10-15 bucks, or around there, and then you need 2 3lb weights.

    I am excited! Everyone take their weight and measurements, and we will see how we did on October 31st!!! Let's also add each other as friends so that we can keep up the motivation for the month!!!:happy:

    I'm in. I actually just picked it up from the library today. I don't know how long they will let me keep it but I saw it at Target for $10, so I may just go pick up a copy.
  • Count me in!
    Will take measurements in the AM ~
    I only got through the first two levels last time, and I really wanna see that 3rd stage :happy:

    I'm in :happy:

    I started it last week but then stopped, so hopefully I'll last a bit better this time around! I was soooo sore by day three because the weights I used were too heavy so my advice is to start with smaller weights and work up in weight gradually.

    Weight today is 74.7 kg / 164.68 lbs, and hopefully I'll be down to 69.85kg/ 154 lbs by the end of Oct.
  • Day 1 weigh in 161.2

    Measurments
    Waist at navel 34.5
    Hips 41
    natural waist 32

    I can't join the challenge because I am not able to do it every day, but I do love it! I moved up to level 2 and really like it but I am totally dripping with sweat after I do it and have to shower and wash my hair!! Sorry for the description, but if you are not going to give it your all, don't waste your time, right?

    Whew! Worked up a really good sweat on Day 1. Wasn't anticipating it being that difficult. I thought all my hiking and previous working out had me in shape, but I found myself slipping down to the modified exercises quite a bit. Ah well, it's a good gauge of where I'm starting and now I have a feel for what I'm in for. Good thing day 2 isn't till tomorrow! :D Good luck to everybody else!

    On Day 3 of the shred (started early) and taking it day by day, but I FEEL so great accomplishing each day. I am hoping not to get lazy or tired and give up. I do feel my clothes a bit loose (YAY!!) and apart from that I do some Zumba and walking so hoping to see some GREAT results!! Let's keep up the good work this month!!
  • im going to start it tomorrow just got it but i also work out 6 days a week at the gym so this is gonna boost the whole exercise thing up sorta high but we'll see if i can hang on in :D
  • Day 1 down and 29 days to go!!

    Day 2 - Was a bit easier to at least stick through the entire workout, but still had to rest maybe half a dozen times. But they were short and then got right back into it! Already seeing some improvement in endurance so can't wait for tomorrow!

    Day 1 done...and day two starting within the next hour. Found day 1 ok enough, maybe because I did a few days of level one last week so I might be a little used to it. I must get proper weights, have been improvising with bottles of water and juice cartons but that's not ideal!

    What are you all logging it as? I remember reading someplace about someone using a heart rate monitor and being a bit surprised by how little calories they were burning doing this. As far as I remember it was only about 175ish calories for level 1, but they weren't that heavy to start with, just doing it to tone up. I've been entering it as 20mins of circuit training, but even that is coming in over the 175. I don't want to got down the road of overestimating my exercise calories, then eating more as a result, and then putting on weight instead of getting rid of it! I was talking to a friend of mine earlier today who used to work as a fitness instructor and she said that overestimating exercise calories burned is the biggest downfall for people trying to slim.

    Do any of you have a HRM that can give us a better idea of how many calories are burned off? Obviously it will be different for everyone, depending on how much we weigh and how much we "go for it" but it would be good to get a rough idea.

    The first day I did it, I also had to rest during a couple parts. The second day, maybe once. Third and fourth days, didn't have to rest at all and I was so proud of myself!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I've already done the Shred today, but I'll wear my HRM tomorrow and let you know how many calories I burned :-)

    I know it will be different for everyone (height, weight/ current physical condition). So to give you an idea, I'm a 30 , 5'4 and currently weigh160. I spent the summer training for a 1/2 marathon, but sprained my ankle just over a month and a half ago, so I haven't done any exercise lately.
