Hello Everyone,

I will be starting the 30 Day Shred today 6/23. I did one week back in April (two separate times) and one week in May and failed miserably :grumble: . This is my third round and I am determined to finish it this time!! :happy:

If anyone wants to join me on this journey let me know I would love the support and swift kick in the bum.:wink:

I will do each level for 10 days, no breaks, that’s the plan anyway… If I do need to take a break I WILL start back up again!! I mark the 30DS as “circuit training, general” for 20 mins- I do not include the warm-up or cool down only the actual “workout” time.

You can post your starting stats if you want but this is not about numbers this is about getting in shape and getting moving. At the end of the 30 days I will post the total inches (in each area) I lost in addition to total weight lost.

We can check in on this thread daily, weekly, or at the end of the month… or whenever you need support and please add me as a friend too :flowerforyou:

This time I WILL show Jillian who's boss

    Yay! I got 30DS in the mail today. I'm a little worried because I haven't been cleared to do Ab work yet but, I guess I'll do jumping jacks or something through those sections. I'm in!
    SW: 216.75lbs

    Well since I told someone else I was starting last week! Today is the day, FOR SURE!!! I'll be using my HRM.
    CW: 216
    GW (at the end of 30 days): 206...more would be great.

    I'll take measurements tonight and do them after each 10 day level.

    Me too!

    30DS is not really known here in the UK, but I saw you all talking about it, ordered it, and started today. I'm using my HRM too!

    CW: 126
    GW: 120 (but have been stuck at 126 for ages, so not at all sure if this is possible)

    I'm definitely in! I already started yesterday, and completed Day 2 Level 1 today. If it gives anyone hope, Day 2 wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be despite the soreness, lol. My plan is to complete a full 30 day cycle with a day-long break once a week. I have my before pics all ready and can't wait to see the afters!! Let's kick *kitten* ladies! :drinker:

    I saw the video online so I might start it today or tomorrow -- basically as soon as I buy the weights. Is level 1 the same workout for every day, or are there variations?

    FYI- I decided that I will be taking Fridays as my Rest day... as I am doing other workouts and Kickboxing, i need to be sure to let my body rest... This means that I will be done with the 30DS on 7/27...

    I started the shred again today and was hoping for a group to keep me accountable. I want to join in. I did the shred for 30 days starting in late January and it really kicked my *kitten*. I got some good results from it inch-wise, but the best thing was just the sticking with it-that really boosted my confidence. I did it in 30 days. If I missed a day I did it twice the next day. I PLAN to do it again for 30 days straight, but we shall see. I wear my HRM and today was 30 minutes 178 calories burned for me. Others would certainly get a different result. The best thing I can say is that I didn't cry today while doing it = victory!

    I'm in for round 2!! Just finished up the first round (missed a few days here and there) and lost over 13". I found I did a lot better being a part of a group that I had to "check in" with. :happy:

    i went out and bought 2lb and 3lb weights. i don't want to strain myself too much because i'm petite and very out of shape. i just finished the first session and WOW!!!! i had to do the modified push ups and i couldn't finish all of the jumping jacks, but otherwise i feel really good about the rest of the workout. my thighs feel so intense -- like i could kick through a brick wall!!

    good luck to everyone else! i'm aiming to do this once a day, at least five days a week.

    Might as well count me in too. I need something to occupy me for my alternate days when I don't have my trainer. :happy:

    Just done level 1, day 1. Did not realise I needed weights so just used tins of beans - not as heavy but better than putting off to the next day! Hard work!

    I'm in! The 30DS is my all time favourite work out! I have nearly all Jillian's other dvds too, but I still keep coming back to the shred. Right now I've been off the wagoon pretty much since Christmas, and after working so hard last year and loosing 2 stone (28lbs) the lbs are creeping back on and I'm getting heavier not lighter. I can't seem to find the motivation to stick to the plan. I've not exercised properly for at least the last 8 weeks, possibly longer - the weeks are slipping by all too fast. I need to get back to some sort of routine. I think the lack routune is the real problem. So I'm going to start the shred again starting just as soon as I get home form work this afternoon. I'm hoping that after completing the shred I'll get the exercise bug again and I can move on to build back up to doing my other dvd's, but until my ashtma is better (a few days consistant exercise always gives me a huge improvement) I'm going to stick with the 30DS. If I haven't logged in by 8pm every night to say that I've done it PLEASE PLEASE kick my *kitten*!
    Starting weight 11st. 8 lbs (162lbs)
    30DS Goal weight 11st. 2lbs (156lbs)
    Ultimate goal weight 10st 10 (150lbs)


    ETA thats 8pm UK time!

    I log it under circuit training general, although my HRM tends to give a slightly higher figure than MFP gives for circuit training.

    I just completed day 3. I'm doing it a little different this time, though. Instead of doing 10 days on each level I'm going to alternate a level each day. So today was level 3 and tomorrow will be back to level 1.

    L1D1 done! Wow that was really tough! Just goes to show how much your fitness can deteriorate in just a few months. Still, back on the wagon as of today and damn sure I'm not going to fall off again :o)

    L1D2 over for me. I'm new to all this; is the general idea to do 10 days of each level?

    I'm so excited to do day 2 when I get home from work. I'm really surprised that I'm not sore from yesterday, so I'll try harder today.
