    I'm Keke, 41 years old my bday is in July and wanna look great and take myself on a beach trip somewhere. I've talked about doing the 30 shred for about 2 years with my sister. Well, I've learned that the weight loss journey doesn't work well as a partnership sometimes. I've had more success on my own this past month and I'm excited to try to Shred.

    Hiya, Pam from the UK here! Tried this many times but give up somewhere in level 2 so really need to keep going this time. Have slipped a bit and gained enough to make my clothes uncomfortable. Will do it before bed tonight.

    I'm Jess. 36, SAHM, homeschooling, mom of 4.
    I've lost 87lb and now that you can see some of the muscles that were hiding underneath fluff, I'm letting Jillian torture me.

    I'm on Level 1, Day 9 today.

    My tips are: water, electrolytes, and take your rest days. I take my 2 every week and my workouts are better as a result. So what if it takes me a few more days to finish all the levels? I'll be better off. And ready to start Ripped in 30, which is next in the queue.

    Good luck everyone. :smile:

    Hi, I'm Merideth. I have started the Shred a couple of times but gave up too quickly. I was hoping to find a group of people who were doing it so that I would be more likely to finish it. I'm 53 with about 25 pounds to lose. I will be starting a little late in the challenge but I still want to join in. Tomorrow will be my Day 1. Goodnight to all of you.

    Hi I'm Ivona,

    I'm 31 years old and this is my first time working out since high school. I started on a diet of 1200 cal a day at 165 pounds, and I'm on week 8 of that and have lost 20 pounds so far through diet alone. Halfway through I cut to 1000 cal which I'm feeling quite good on (making sure to hit ALL my macros and micros). I'm really short so it's not an unreasonable number for me, and I feel really good on it.

    I decided it's exercise time on my journey, so I started the shred on April 1 (in the afternoons) and most of me is ok except my thighs are in complete agony this morning. I'm debating whether or not I should work through the pain or take a rest day and just go for a walk instead, but I'm leaning towards giving it another go today and I'll take a break if it's really bad tomorrow.

    How are you all dealing with the soreness? Do you just work through it or is everybody taking rest days? Are you supposed to do it 30 days straight? I'm following on youtube so I don't have the full instructions...

    Hi All, I'm starting the 30 day shred late as my DVD only arrived yesterday. Last year I managed to tone down really well attending boot camps but due to time constraints I'm struggling to fit them in this year. How's everyone finding it? I'm from the UK
  • Hi I'm Gloria and I've lost 46 lbs so far . I usually walk 1.5 to 2.0 but since my birthday I've totally lost my center! I'm joining this group to regain my bearings and get back on the wagon.
    Good luck to us all!:) :)

    Hi, im Gill (34) from Scotland. I have had the 30DS dvd for a while but never got past day 1. I go to my local curves gym and take my 2 year old swimming once a week. Trying to keep in this regular routine is my biggest challenge and I have been hovering around the same 7lbs for over a year now. I literally want to climb a mountain later this summer so I am feeling motivated to push myself to my goal weight before then.
    Just finished day 1 L1. Star jumps are a killer!!
    CW - 170lbs
    GW - 150lbs

    Also, it's hard to imagine level 1 getting easier in just 10 days.....does it?!

    Hi. I'm Sandra. I'm a stay at home mom and wife. I am turning 30 in exactly 16 weeks and want to lose 56 lb by then. I'm the biggest I have ever been in my life (196 lb) and I hate myself for it. I'm a personal fitness trainer, I know better. I lost my motivation 5 yrs ago when my mom passed away. I'm ready to get back on track. I've started the 30 day shred before, but have never finished. I would love to make some positive and motivating friends.

    Hey everyone, I'm Melissa, from London UK. When I started my journey I had 82lbs to lose. I'm currently down 9lbs just from the last week. Its my second attempt at the Shred and I've just completed day 7. Already notice a difference in my strength and stamina for some of the moves on the DVD. To compliment the workouts, I'm also aiming to do yoga and much more walking. Additionally I am calorie counting. Good luck to everyone taking part! :)

    It really does. I was so far from being fit and couldn't do a lot of the moves for the entire time allocated. Now theres a really big difference from when I started just 7 days ago. Just power through :)

    Thanks Melissa, that's really encouraging to heat that! I've been in pain all day but still made myself do the workout. All the best for week 2 and starting level 2!!

    I just got done with day 1 Level 1... :)
    How should I log it in my fitness pal diary? It is both strength and cardio.
  • going to start today, im 28 from england and feel my self slipping further and further, cant find clothes i like that fit in my usual shops anymore, want to start a family so need to get some of this baggage off! Got the workouts all 3 on youtube so no need to buy them. Good luck every one

    A lot of people are using circuit, although I don't know how accurate that is. You could also use a heart rate monitor.

    So I have three days left of level 1. Any idea if its best to take a rest day first or just hit it? I was really hungover and ended up having two rest days back to back and it felt hideous to start again, however, when I'd just taken one I felt like on the following session I was so much more capable.

    Kind of made the mistake of watching level 2 in advance and now I'm mildly terrified :worried: I am ok with level 1 but 2 looks waaaay more intense!

    Level 2 is harder but doable...I didn't take a rest day before starting it but did take one after day 3 of it so I have now done 18 days of the shred in 19 days. Two more days at level 2 then on to level 3 but I haven't watched level 3 yet to see how bad it is. Hang in there and work through it - I just got to tighten my belt another notch today!
