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'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! :D

    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 will do it with you!!! I have done it before but not stuck with it. Didn't have any encouragement though. Maybe this time we can help each other along :)

    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!

    You can count me in! and feel free to add me. I have made it to the first week of level 3 before it was tough but well worth it. I am thinking of starting it today and would love to be a part of a support group to keep me motivated!

    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!:smile:

    I just finished it and lost 7.8 pounds, and I can for sure tell the difference in my body. Just keep looking at the 30DS results threads on here to keep you motivated! That's what got me through.

    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 :)

    At the end of March I finished level 1 but then had a flu so I'm starting again, today is day 3 I really recommend focusing on healthier eating and adding more protein to your diet, last time I ate anything and only saw little results but this time it's magnified as I eat clean. Feel free to add me I log on every day :)

    I started monday, so today is day 3! It's tough, but it's so short it isn't worth NOT doing!

    Add me if you'd like, I look forward to working away the inches with all of you :smile:

    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 bought it last week, and bought the hand weights too (5 lbs, I wasn't sure how heavy to get them?) but then the whole family got horrible chest colds, so as soon as this junk is gone, I can't wait to start! I might be a little behind, but I'd love to join the challenge

    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.

    I started this last month and could totally see a difference, but then lost my momentum. I would love to join this group for encouragement and plan to start back up tomorrow! :) GO 30-day shredders - we can do this! (I plan on doing the DVD 4 times a week along with my new obsession of hot yoga 3 times a week!)

    Can't wait to submit our "after" stats in a month!

    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'll be following this! I've just started level 2 today. It was hard but I've done it now and hopefully it will get easier! I haven't lost any weight from level 1 but I have definitely noticed more tone. I forgot to take inches though, silly me, so I don't know if I lost any inches.

    Good luck :)

    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

    rest day yesterday and day two completed today!!! Hope everyone else is still on track? I'm thinking about the others doing it as well, keeps me motivated! Will have a rest day again tomorrow and then do day 3 on sunday. By rest day I mean doing something else like biking and a rest from the dvd.
    Happy shredding!
