    Im so excited I found this group, sadly I can not get past day 3! i am hoping you guys can motivate me to do this everyday, i have started it numerous times. my friend did it and it worked for her, i know once i get past maybe day 4 or 5 it will get easier lol i am curious as to how many calories you guys think it will burn? im 5'9 160 pounds..

    I was thinking that once we start doing the challenge, we could check in with out measurements every ten days (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) so we can keep supporting each other throughout this process. I find it really encouraging when I have others to motivate me (especially with JM workouts, lol).

    thats a great idea! sounds like a plan!

    Hi Ladies,

    I am 99% sure I have the DVD at home. Seems I tried and gave up like everyone else. With this group, I think I can stick with it and "git-r-done" . Very excited. Going hinting right after work. If I don't have it, I am heading right on over to Amazon and get one sent here ASAP.

    Looking forward to getting to know all of you and seeing the changes in us all.

    Kriss

    Were excited to have you! Thanks for joining us, we can all make it through with each others support! :)

    good idea, this group sounds great, I am also glad we have a few days before we actually start so we can gear up for it, I have to get some small weights.
    Thanks for starting this, its just what I need!

    Hey! Thanks for joining us! I know it is really tough to get past the first few days, i myself have never made it past day 12 consecutively but i am hoping with encouragement from each other and now with other people watching i can do it! lol I think it really comes down to becoming routine and it just becoming part of your day. I have searched for it on MFP trying to add it to my exercises but i can never find it. It does change depending on your height weight etc so im not sure. It is non stop for 20 minutes, i think it probably burns anywhere from 150-300 calories depending on how hard your working, but im not totally sure.

    I've been doing this DVD on and off for ages it seems like, but I've never done it for 30 days consecutively. so I haven't been able to see the FULL results. I'm hoping this group will give me the kick in the butt I need! Good luck everyone! I'll send in my measurements on the 31st along with everyone else!

    OK so I have started before and want to make sure I am doing it right. You do the 1st series for 10 days straight, then you do the 2nd for 10 days and then the 3rd right? Is that the right way to do this video? I've always been a believer in not working the same muscles 2 days in a row but the results seem to speak for themselves so I really want to try it (and look fab for my son's 1 year photos!!).

    Hi everyone! I am new to MFP but after researching I decided to do the 30 day shred. Glad I found the group. I am one to not follow through so I'm hoping you guys will be extra motivation for me :-)

    I think it depends on your fitness level, 10 pounds seems a little heavy for me personally but if you are a person who likes heavier weights during your workout then that's fine! I use 3 pounds, 5 pounds was a little much for me, but i am still a beginner with weights :)

    I'm in the same spot as you ladies. I've tried it and never made it to the end. Made too many excuses. I'm ready if you are! Let's do this. Maybe some of us can friend one another that way it will be easier to be push each other!

    Yay! I'm so excited! I have 3lbs. weights and I am 4' 11" aiming for 1340 calories a day. I've never been able to stick with any program but since this one is only 30 days I think I can finish it! :D

    I am super excited to see the results. I am trying to loose 10 pounds from last 2.5 years but always failed coz of lack of motivation.. I badly want to get through these 30 days.

    I would die with 10 lb weights for 30DS, but have a weak shoulder. Last time I started I did 2 lbs but I'm going to pick up some 3s this weekend.

    If you are used to 10 lbs. then I would use those but maybe have some lighter weights (6-8 lbs.) nearby in case you need to alternate or go down a couple lbs. while doing the workout.
