30 Day Shred!

I'm planning to start the 30 DS on Saturday as my gym membership will expire on Fri. I hve been doing 30 DS on and off, and plan to really commit to it this time! Feel free to add me and let's get this done together!

I have done this twice and now do heavy lifting so I wont be joining but what I can do is offer encouragment.

On my first round in 33 days I lost 9 inches.

3.5 off my chest
2 under my chest (bra strap area)
1 off my natural waist
1 off my waist at my belly button
1 off my hips
1/2 of my thigh...

And I dropped 3% bf.

I increased my endurance and strength (couldn't do male pushups at the start but could at the end)

I only took 3 days off...(had too but not because of the exercise outside influences)

It isn't easy I wont lie...day 11...first day of round 2 I almost cried when I was done...

but it is well worth it.

I started yesterday! I'm in!

Me too! I'm very stiff today! :laugh:
I'm logging it as 20 mins 'aerobic' as 'circuit' seemed a bit high on calorie burn to me.
It will probably take me 6 weeks to complete as I probably won't be doing weekends!

i'm on day 2 of the shred count me in, must admit after those lunges stairs r proving to be a struggle!!!!

Good luck everyone! It only gets easier and easier. I just want to add that if you're doing it every day be careful. Apparently JM says that its meant to only be done 3-4 times a week. If your knees are sore (make sure you're keeping proper form) take rest days. I do her DVDs every other day with cardio on off days. Keeping a calendar helps stay on track. No injuries y'all!

I think it does make a lot of sense to do it every second day. That's my plan! I did it this morning. yay! Day #1 down. Day 2 coming on thursday

I want to start today!

I'm in Today is day one. It really hard for me to lose weight. especial the fact the i have thyroid. But i have to try to lose some weight. Wish me luck.

Hi everyone! I joined myfitnesspal to get some motivation and support! I want to live a healthier lifestyle and the first step to that is to start exercising. I just bought Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and I haven't started it yet. I was thinking about starting tomorrow. Would anyone like to do it with me!!?? We can call it the 30 Day challenge!

I hardly exercise these last few years, so I KNOW it's going to be painful. Any words of motivation or success would help! Anyone down!?:glasses: :glasses:

I am going to do day 2 today. Day 1 was very hard (I did it on Monday) but I found a couple of other people on here who are starting as well and that is keeping me focused.

I think it does make a lot of sense to do it every second day. That's my plan! I did it this morning. yay! Day #1 down. Day 2 coming on thursday

I agree.
I did Day 1 Sunday. (and died)
Monday: Couldn't sit or stand-- so I went for a 2.5 brisk walk pushing the kids in a huge stroller.
Yesterday: Still couldn't do a single jumping jack but did JM's Shred it with Weights (love!)
Today: Will do Day 2 of 30 DS and hope I can recover better.

I'm doing it off and on when I'm not running or working full shifts at the barn so not everyday. It takes some getting used to. I don't have the dvd but I'm going to order it or pick it up so I can try level 2 next week.

Good Luck to you all! I joined a group that had started on April 1st. I had previously just finished Level 1 and had started Level 2. I have 10 days left for Level 2 and more than likely will move on to level 3 to complete the DVD.

Yay! It's a great DVD, you'll like it. I have the 5 lbs weights too and might get some 3 lbers because some of the arm movements are very hard. What I like is that it's super short too - only like 27 minutes long.

I'm in! I'll start tomorrow being as I have a gym appt today. I've tried before but I always lose motivation.

Im in, ive just finished day three, I have muscles that are aching like crazy, muscles I never knew I had, when I started I knew I wasnt getting enough protein so I did a bit of digging and started whey protein to help after a work out and it is starting to help I have one with breakfast with a blended banana and one post work out and it tastes nice too, I learnt something on here the other day and it s not always about what the scale says its your composition it is for me any way as I leant when you lose weight you lose muscle too so I only do little cardio, the 30ds with 5lb dumb bells then add a bit at the end with the dumb bells

My motivation is wanting to post on the success stories with before and after pics

I took a pic of myself the other week and hated what I saw, so every now and then I look at it and think yuck yuck
