I'm in! I got this video today after seeing how many others on MFP loved it! I really need this motivation to keep me on track.
Good luck everyone!0 -
I did D1 L1 today! I pushed it hard, but my calorie burn isn't what it used to be. I noticed that in my bike ride last night too. :bigsmile: Must mean I'm getting better. I know I'm gonna feel it tomorrow for sure! I upped my weights and was using 5 lbs on some of the old 3 lbs moves. I also pushed it to 9 real push ups today. :sick:
Here are my measurements. The first column is when I finished the Shred the first time (March 15th), and the second column is my current (May 9) measurements. I've been doing other Jillian Michaels' workouts, and other stuff.
Weight........183.8........179.4
Waist..........36..............35
Hips............48.5..........48
Thigh..........28..............27.5
Arms...........14.............13.75
Calves........16.75.......16.75
I'm gonna start measuring my hips as upper and lower, since my hips are so weird...
Upper.....46
Lower.....47

skinnylizzy... Congrats on your inch loss already!! That's so fantastic!! You're gonna be so pleased after L2!!
Mollymarshmallow... Way to push it! :drinker: It's a good soreness, and in a few more days I'll bet you won't notice it so much. I think you will love the firming that you will find with the Shred!! I noticed some abs and biceps on myself, and I'm not even on the small side!
I love this quote I've read a couple times on MFP: "Obsessed is what the weak call the dedicated."I've also just completed my first week of logging into My Fitness Pal everyday. I've been having fun logging what i eat and how i exercise, even if some of my friends think it's a bit obsessive.
VanesMarie88... :laugh: I love the attitude!! :drinker:Did day 1 yesterday and my ENTIRE body is sore. I'm pretty excited to do day 2 today. This is going to be so much fun!
Adelphia... YEAH YA CAN!!! :bigsmile: Get back to that happy place!Can I join? I've been looking for some motivation to try this again. Haven't gotten to Level 3 since... two summers ago...
Ashleypeterson... Sweet! Join in as soon as you get it!
Lexncheysmommy... You don't have to track measurements, but just a note that you could probably get a measuring tape in the sewing section at your local dollarstore. :bigsmile:
smtraxx... Great! Keep going!
Macmommac... That's what we're here for!! You'll be loving it in no time too!0 -
Hi all!! :flowerforyou:
I just finished my first round of the 30 Day Shred on May 4th and started Round 2 (Day 1) with my daughter to provide her with motivation and encouragement on Friday. I know we've already completed a day but I'm starting on Day 1 today so I'm even with most of the group. I have yet to take my measurements after finishing Round 1 but plan on doing that later tonight.
Sassy
PS - I love being part of a group as it holds me accountable. Let's do this!! :bigsmile:0 -

Tuesday 10th May, already here in Australia.
Completed Day 2 of Level 1 ... Sore today but I also did a 90 min hard core stretch class last night.
For the first timers, I'm 51 and weigh 98.8 kg ( 218pounds). This is my second round of 30DS. First time took me 51 days to do 30 days. The first time my starting weight was 104.6kg (230 pounds). It is tough but made me feel so good that I am back for a second round. Aiming to do 30 days in 30days. May as well start out aiming for the best.
Ps would really appreciate it if you could also convert your pounds to kilograms so I have an understanding of your weight. Thanks.0 -
Now I feel like a sloth. I had a headache all day and didn't get it done. What a terrible way to start the 30 Days! Especially with all of these new faces. I WILL Shred tomorrow. Round 2, Here I come!!!!!0

syd1980... Just wait till you get to the end, and then try out L1 again to see how far you've come. One day, you'll be laughing L1 in the face. It might be sooner than you think.i would like to join . i just got my dvd in the mail today . level 1 was tougher than i thought.
smessom... Very nice!! I'm so glad to see you post this! :drinker: Props to you!Ok. You convinced me.
Day 1 level 1 done.
Built up a good sweat, back in the morning for day 2.

jellyfishjen... Way to do it! (Hard core! :laugh: ) Now I KNOW I gotta follow through with tomorrow! So sorry for being inconsiderate to you! My SW the first time was 83.4 and now I'm 81.4. :bigsmile:
CricketKate... See you tomorrow!! Hope your hear feels better. Have some peppermint tea. :flowerforyou:0 -
The AC at my house isn't working, so the last thing I wanted to do was this DVD. Knowing I'd have to come here and report in made me do it. It's sad how out of shape I've gotten. I knew I was in trouble when my legs were shaking during the first set of punches. But I can't wait to see how much better I feel at the end of the 30 days.
Now I'm going to curl up in the floor in front of a fan :bigsmile: I'll post measurements in the morning.0 -
Day 1, Level 1... done! Alternated between 3 & 5 lb weights.
The results are in... I lost 11.2 lbs and 16 inches in total doing Round 1 of the 30 Day Shred (with 3 lb weights)!! :drinker:
Neck: 1"
Upper Chest: 3"
Chest: 1.5"
Arm (L): 0.5"
Upper Waist: 2"
Waist: 4.5"
Hips: 2.25"
Thigh (L): 1.25"0 -
Those lateral raises tho. Mother of god. My arms are now noodles.
There goes Day 1 then. I'm so very out of shape and I'll post my pathetic measurements in the morning l0l. For now I'm off to finish 15 assignments at once and slurp up a pot of caffeine. YAY0 -
Day 2 Level 1 Complete
Man alive those Bicycle Crunches are a killer after 15 mins of the work out.
Roll on tomorrow morning. Day 3 here we come.0 -
Didn't do Day 3 got a surprise (TOM) wasn't expecting that until next week so I'll be back on track today. I just felt very blergggggggggggggggggggg and cramping. Never mind.... no excuses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

Level 1 Day 1: Done
I'd forgotten about the push-ups and shoulder raises. I definately need to work my upper body some more.0 -
I am so in !!! I am starting a day late , but I guess it's better late than never .... hahaha Good Luck everybody
Add me as a friend0 -
maryff... I know! I'm dreading the warmer weather, cause the AC barely reaches my side of the house. And if I close the door, I have no hope at all of getting cool air. I used to work out in front of an oscillating fan, which was really nice until it broke. You might like to try that if you can pull your fan over.The AC at my house isn't working, so the last thing I wanted to do was this DVD. Knowing I'd have to come here and report in made me do it.
SassyT3... Amazing freaking losses!!! :drinker:
Adelphia (and maryff)... I remember telling myself all through D1 yesterday that there's nothing like returning to the Shred to make you feel out of shape. :laugh:There goes Day 1 then. I'm so very out of shape and I'll post my pathetic measurements in the morning l0l. For now I'm off to finish 15 assignments at once and slurp up a pot of caffeine. YAY
smessom... Sweet job! I remember the bicycle crunches were KILLER for me the first time through. I couldn't even do them all to the end of the set until close to the end of L1! Give it all you got!Man alive those Bicycle Crunches are a killer after 15 mins of the work out.
smtraxx... Hey! It's ok. If your cramps are as bad as mine, you would be down for the count. I totally understand. :grumble:Didn't do Day 3 got a surprise (TOM) wasn't expecting that until next week so I'll be back on track today. I just felt very blergggggggggggggggggggg and cramping. Never mind.... no excuses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CricketKate... When I started it, I'm like, "I hope this is the level with the push ups." :laugh: I want more shoulder moves. I feel like my lower shoulder gets a workout, but my upper shoulders/neck is wimping out now. I gotta find some extra moves!
trying2getslim... GOOD LUCK!! :bigsmile:0 -
Day 2 is done. My calves are what are killing me. I think it's the jumping jacks and jump rope.
How is everyone counting it? I put it in as general aerobics but I'm not sure that's right since it's a hybrid of cardio and strength. I just don't want to be overestimating the calories burned.0 -
As I walked (shuffled) to my desk this morning I am mentally trying to tell my legs to stop shaking with each step...
Day 1, Level 1 done! Whew. It's hard but it's going to be worth it in the end!0 -
It's going to take me a while to get everyone's names.
Macmommac, The first time I did the Shred, I couldn't go up and down stairs for 3 days.
Maryff, I think that most people log it under circuit training. I have a hrm and I think that my #'s were pretty close to mfp's circuit training #'s.
Good Job, to everyone else! I didn't have time to read all of the posts. Stick with it, the first 3 days are definately the worst!0 -
Perfect! I was looking for a group to join. Just started mine yesterday and signed up on here as well. I'm excited and so pumped by all the encouragement here! I have to say I don't know if I'm as brave as so many of you to post my before pics though..lol. I feel so disgusting!!0
-
Haha! Same here! I can barely bend over to pick up my dogs food bowl ...kills but it's a good feeling as well. 0

My plan over the weekend has been to refocus, redirect, and restart my journey to a healthier self! I had done the 30 DS earlier this year, got to about day 23, then got "distracted" with family stuff - NO EXCUSE, just an explanation! Anyway, I couldn't WAIT to get started again, and when I saw this post I KNEW I would join in and get it going with Jillian!
Well, yesterday I got home from work, and my son presented me with a late birthday gift - Zumba Fitness for the Wii!!!!! Well, I just HAD to do that... toooooo!!!!
I'm a super fatty, super weakling, 5'3" (almost anyway!) and 200 lbs. I can follow dance moves pretty well, but decided to start with the tutorials first. I got throug ALL of the varitions in the Calypso style - I took my time in practicing each one, especially when I hit the "sped up, real time" portion - it took me about 20 minutes, and when I was done I was dripping wet, I was a bit worn, but man I had a blast!
After that I did Day 1 Level 1 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I was surpised to find I kept up much better than I did the "very first time" I did this workout, and it felt so good to be working out again! I plan to be back at it tonight and every night - 20 minutes of Zumba Wii, foilowed by 30 DS.... look for my weight loss, coming soon!!!
:drinker:

Well day 2 went much better. Feeling it in areas that i want to work , so that is a big plus. Still feeling it when i first stand or go to sit down . i was also able to get Ab Jam in from turbo jam.
Feel free to add me as a friend.
what size weights are you all using? i think my 5 pounds are heavy for some of the exercises.0 -
I think the muscle that it's getting the most work out for me is my PELVIC FLOOR or lack there of muscle. It might be TMI for some but I had to pee like 3 times during the workout. I know you shouldn't stop the workout but when you gotta go you gotta go. I just thank god I'm doing this at home and not some gym where people would be thinking I was slacking. I pressed pause each time but I did and extra 2 minutes of cardio before the warm down to compensate. Any body got any tips for when we are doing the jumping jacks and rope, cos that's when it all starts to you know ;-)
Thanks.0 -
I just started today... Am I still good to join? I just found my video and decided to start doing it today... and after I have done it I have noticed the group! Must be fate!0

Wednesday 11th May. Bright and sunny but cold in Sydney. Up early to fit everything in too my busy day. Lovely having all you newbies. It is tough but worth it. The first time I couldn't do the jump rope hurt my knees too much, so I would jog on the spot, but pleased to say this time I'm managing jump rope. I tried day 1 of C25K last night on treadmill. Will try and keep that up. Today I have a zumba class (in 2 hours). Its going to kill today. Have a happy healthy day everyone.
Day 3 Level 1 tick0 -
I just finished doing D3 of L2 - boy it is hard!! I have a love/hate relationship with all those plank exercises but just keep thinking that I am working my whole body at once and it will pay off...I hope!
Iceskatefanrn: Thanks for the review of the zumba for wii - do you like it?? How do you feel that it compares to a real zumba class? I love going to classes but it's tough to work into my schedule...might have to add that game to my "wish list"
I saw on the message boards that a lot of people track the calories burned as "circuit general" but I'm sure (as usual) the best thing would be to use a HRM. I don't have one and have been putting it in as circuit.
Good work everyone - go team!0 -
smtraxx - me too so glad Im home and I run to the loo and back
spoiltrotten - welcome nice having you with us
skinnylizzy - tthe first time I di this tried level 2 for a couple of days but had to go back to level 1. So good on you for doing it. i really hope to manage level 2 this time. But already i notice I have improved on level 1 this round.0
