Hello MFP Family

I'm taking the plunge and going to attempt the 30 Day Shred! Is anyone else considering it that wants to start today with me today?!?!

    It's a work out video by Jillian Michael's ... I'm going to pick it up tonight after work and give it a go :-) It's about $10-$12 CDN at Wal-Mart - so I've been told ;-)

    I just completed day 6 of level 1 today. but I would love to carry on with you along the way. I'm going to be missing about 4 days over the holiday, so that should put me close to where you'll be when I get back to it.

    I attempted to start this at the beginning of the month and wussed out. I'm ready to start again and will kick it in gear tonight. I need something to get me back on track. :)

    Today was Day 2 for me!!!! Got up at 5AM and did the workout, thought I was going to die, but thankfully made my way through it with a lot of huffing & puffing and uttering not so nice words to Jillian!
    I hope to see a change in the next 30days. I have printed of a calendar weighed myself and took my measurements.

    Oh ya I forgot to mention I HATE side lunges with arm raises.....

    Sonya, that is some serious dedication! I will probably have a few choice words for Miss Jillian as well ;-) ... what's the old saying? "No pain, no gain" ?!

    I did Day 3 today! It was rough! When I started I didn't have 3lb weights, so I used canned spaghetti :) and then I finally got the 3lb weights and used them today & it was rough!! So, Im thinking (hopefully) that by day 6 or 7 I won't be such a baby :)

    good luck everyone!

    haha @ ladystar ... I have soup cans ready to go as I dont' have weights either :) spaghetti cans would probably be better though! I'm expecting to feel sore I just have to keep in mind it's such a small part of my day, but will hopefully give me big results :)

    i did a couple of days last week and then misplaced my sports bra -- no idea where i put the darn thing (and no way i can do a workout without it) will have a good hunt for it later and hopefully restart tomorrow!

    @ruby ... there is something to be said about a good sports bra .. I'm glad you mentioned something about that b/c I'll have to invest in one until then LOOK OUT, hehe ;-)

    Ok I have been trying to decide if I should do a second round of the 30 Day Shred and you have convinced me! I did my first round in April and lost 10 pounds and over 7 inches! Loved it.!! I will start tomorrow and I am going to try 5 lbs weights! Maybe!! :ohwell: I used 3 lb weights the first go around. It does get better after day 4 or so. Good luck everyone!!:smile:

    I did it after I had my first baby with a combo of walking and I lost 40 pounds, so it worked well for me. Then I got pregnant again and my littlest just turned one, so it's time to get these last few extra pounds GONE! I like it because it's only a 20 minute workout, and I can easily fit it into my day. I get up at 5:00am, do that and then get ready for work. I'm also doing the Couch to 5K as well. It's hard to stay motivated at times, but there's no reason why we can't do it! :smile:

    @tayla, those results are amazing! I'm thrilled that it's a good time to start again ... I"m thinking that I"m going to have to do a first thing in the morning work out as well! That way I know it will get done!

    I started my 2nd round of 30 DS today. So, Day 1 Level 1 complete! Wow, it was just as challenging as I remembered! Everyone have a great day!

    Did my first (start over) again last night, and then a walk away the pounds fast mile afterwards. I was definitely feeling it this morning. The calorie burn isn't that fab, but I know the toning is what's important with this workout.

    Hi, I just did the Shred yesterday (day 1!) and today I seriously can't move. I can barely walk up and down the stairs let alone do that video again today. i want to keep at it and I hear it gets easier but I don't know how I can do it today since I am having trouble getting up and down from a chair.
    SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE!!!

    I am starting Friday!!!! I would love some support to get through it. I am super stoked about it! There was a thred not too long ago where people were posting their results and it was crazy what 30 days can do. I've got to get me some heavier weights since all I have is 2 lb that I use when I walk/ run.

    I've heard this and been told to push through it and do not take a day to rest. But, I start Friday so I might be eating those words soon!

    On my first go around at the Shred I was sore. However I wasn't that sore that I couldnt move. I just pushed through it, but I would say be careful and if you can't move take some ibuprofen and try again tomorrow. You don't want to injure yourself!

    I did take some Aleve, maybe I'll see how I am by this evening and try to do it this evening, if not tomorrow no matter if I'm still sore. I guess I could try every other day until I'm less sore, then up it to every day...?
