Starting Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (in 6 weeks)

To keep me motivated for the next 6 weeks, I thought of trying (again) to attempt to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, 5 days a week (there's no way I can do it for 7 days a week) for the next 6 weeks. If I follow it, I want to know how much of a result will I get. It's only 20 minutes a day, so that's doable. I will also supplement with another 40-60 minutes of additional cardio for extra fat burn.

I was wondering if anyone wants to commit with me?

We will commit for the next 6 weeks, to do the Shred 5 days a week. You can opt to do additional exercise or not. I want to see if we can lose 20 lbs. or more. Wouldn't that be AWESOME!?

We can check in every Monday with weigh in's, and progress/tips. At the end of 6 weeks, do a final weigh in and measurements.

I have read on past forums that it is best to stick with your diet plan (stay under calories) and of course, be active 6 days out of the week to see maximum results. I'm doing Shred only 5 days because, well, I get easily bored. So I'll supplement with my Zumba, and treadmill, and outdoor walks.

So who's with me....starting March 1st?

    Sounds great! I've already completed the shred once, but have gotten kind of lazy in my workouts. I just started doing the C25K since the weather is getting better but I need the strength training and the abs. 5 days seems like a good goal!

    @AnnaBell: Please join, even if you start on Friday! :) yay!
    @Kerri: Great! You've completed the Shred once! (bowing down to you). Yes 5 days. I have attention deficit so I think that's more doable.

    Okay, everyone can post their starting weights or whatever you use to measure. Then, check in on Monday mornings for results. But also check in daily to post progress. Mention what Level and what day you are on, since we're kinda all starting on different days.

    I'm in!
    This will be my 3rd 30DS.

    Didn't finish the first time due to lack of motivation.
    Couldn't finish the second time due to surgery.
    Finally, finished my 30DS on the 10th of this month!

    I absolutely loved the results so I am going at it again!

    Starting level 1 day 1 tomorrow.
    Will post my measurements tomorrow morning.

    Current weight: 134.4
