Goal: 30 Day Shred

Hello,
My name is Amanda, and i have this horrible habit of starting a weightloss "program" and never sticking to it long enough to see results... I feel like I am finally ready to do the 30ds and stick with it the whole time. Im ready to see those amazing results so many others have seen... I want to be one of those poeple that posts results that help motivate others to not give up. So in order to do so I actually have to stick to it myself. So here goes. Tomorrow morning 1/27/14 I will begin the 30ds, I will attempt to log on here everyday through the process. Please, if you have completed or are also starting, help! Lol And i will do my best to be motivating and encouraging to others through this process as well.

Best of luck, and wish me luck! Lets get healthy!

    You can totally do this! I'm starting on Level 3 today, 10 more days left for me! My goal is to complete the program again when I finish it since I have only been able to do it 3-4 times per week this round.

    :) i have a feeling it will take me a few rounds to get where I want to be goal-wise... But i just know if i can make it through this program just once it will give me the confidence i am lacking to help me continue to reach my fitness goals... the longest i've stuck with any fitness related thing has been maybe two weeks, that two week mark is usually when i quit...

    I have been wanting to do the 30 day shred for a while now. I started a couple of times, but never gotten past day three lol. I will totally try starting this again tomorrow and with someone to do it along with me, it would be great motivation! I'll try to login every day to keep my progress up to date too.

    Yay! Thats me too, i've started her program literally a billion times (okay maybe not literally) but i've never gone farther than a day or two into the second round. I'm excited that someone else will be starting tomorrow too! Maybe checking in each day will make me feel that i have to actually do it :)

    I did Level 3 day 1 two days ago and it kicked by but. So I did Level 1 day 1 again yesterday. I have been hemming and hawing this am about continuing... feel free to add me, maybe you can be my inspiration to complete the 30 days as well. I exercise every day now, pretty much so I can have a couple of cocktails at night, but not always the shred. Without it (exercise) I would have to say goodbye to my vodka and I'm not willing to do that! I would like to continue as I saw great results a year or so ago. We got this!

    Ok, I just moved so I need to dig through my storage bin to find my weights, but I'll start tomorrow even if I have to improvise on weights lol. It will definitely be a motivator to be checking in with someone on the same track! :)

    I'm on day 3 of level 2. I'm doing it 5 days a week with extra cardio and resting 2 days. I'm waiting to measure myself until the end, but taking pics weekly. I can't see a difference yet, but I definitely feel different! Keep going and don't step on the scale until you are done. Some get discouraged when they see a slight weight gain. YOU CAN DO IT!

    I am the same!!! I never stick to something when i start it sadly >.< I'm always here for support if you'd like =D

    The way I got through 30day shred was I looked at before and afters and that kept me going. Also when I did it I didn't force myself to do it with a time frame, I did it over 2 months. I even mixed up levels =D Just do it as you'd like to and have fun with it!

    These are my pictures. Note the last ones I was 30lbs away from goal.. so I still need to lose weight but 30day shred tones up!!!


    You don't need to do it every day. Just make sure you get through 30 days. Even if it takes you a few months. Goodluck! You can do this!!!!! And we're all here for you =D



    YOU LOOK AMAZING! GREAT PROGRESS!
    I'm shaped similar to you in the stomach area, and hope that my results are similar too!

    I'm totally feeling your pain. I'm in week two day 7 and I definitely have great muscles now. And my belly has gone down already. It seriously kicks your butt and I plan to keep going. I start week 3 tomorrow and I'm terrified! Lol but with support I believe I can conquer it. My daughters father is much slimmer than I and gave up week 1 day 1 lol. Go me! You can do it too!

    Hello everyone I started 30ds yesterday I'm 15 lbs away from my gw I know you lose inches more then lbs on 30ds that's fine so I also have ops problem of finding it hard o stick to a program I completed insanity in December what I did is kept myself accountable with a group also text with my friends before/after workout pics we live in different states and did insanity together this work to keep us going I also would get lazy so I would pop the DVD in then after watching few minutes I would say do I really wanna sit here and watch it when I can be doing it ? Lol silly but surprisingly it helped I didn't follow the meal plan and had pizza often :( I know bad me but lost 12 lbs I started p90x but it is too long so I started 30ds and my LO let me do it without whining so it will def work and even though I finished a 60 day program you'd think 30 days would be a breeze but it never is lol so long story short count me in


    Sorry for long post I also have a group would love you ladies to join and post daily to motivate each other

    I have attempted it twice before and gave up. I was thinking of trying again on the 1st of Feb. But I could start tomorrow. Maybe this time I will complete it!

    I am not doing a 30 day shred, but I saw your comment on trying to log in and complete your entries daily. I started out by setting an alarm on my phone at each meal time and then again in the evening to remind me to log my food. It took about 2 weeks of being annoyed by my phone to get me to do this, but I rarely miss a day now :) Good luck!

    My hubby and I are starting it today. I started before but only did 3 days on level one. So I know what you mean by not staying committed. Let's be accountability buddies on this! I log everyday!

    I will be starting 30 Day Shred on Wednesday. I have to have a cortisone injection in my hip tomorrow and will have to take it easy a day or 2. I will send you a friend request.

    So my goal starting out is to aim for the 30 days straight. But i have a feeling it might end up being 5-6 days a week.

  • I started 30ds (for about the third time!) 8 days ago. I've been doing level 1 or 2 everyday but had a 1 day break on Friday. My legs needed it!

    Today I tried level 3 and I am afraid I will not be able to get up the stairs tonight! Lol. Determined to keep on track and stick with it this time. I am turning 40 in two weeks. Eek! And have a girls trip to Mexico in March, so the pressure is on.

    Good luck everyone - it's great to help each other stay motivated and on track!

    Think today is Level 1 Day 5 for me (had 1 day off as didn't feel well, but did swim that day so didn't feel too guilty).
    Really enjoying it so far, although I am finding my willpower is tailing off a bit so I need to try keep determined to finish.
    Each day seems a little easier, apart from some of the abs exercises - me having never done a sit-up in my life!
    Hoping to lose a bit of belly flab, lose a few pounds/inches and just get a bit fitter in the first place. Might add in another of her abs-focused workouts in as well once I get a bit more comfortable/confident.
    Nice to hear so many others are doing 30DS too, I love reading about everyone's progress and sharing support :)

    My friend ans I are starting 30ds this week. I tried it once before but am out of shape and only made it 8 minutes into the first level before laying on my mat the rest of that level. And now that I have a good friend to do it with I want to make sure I dont give up! It will be hard for me to do but right now I want to lose about 30-40lbs so I can be a healthy weight. I've always had "tummy flab" and after having my son 2 years ago thats where all my weight goes! I need that gone as all shirts I wear show that belly flap now and I'm afraid people are gonna start thinking I'm pregnant again. Here's to commitment! We can all make it through this together
