edited September 30 in Motivation and Support
Hello,

So I have just ordered Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred so I am hoping I will have it with in a few days. I get married in September so I want to look and feel my best for that. But with a week away at Edinburgh festival and my hen weekend August is not going to be an easy month sooo... I was hoping some of you might join me and fingers crossed we can egg each other on to complete this together throughout the month of August.

I will post again when I get my DVD hopefully in time to start on the first of August.

Who is with me?

    Hello :) I'm half way through the Shred, but I'm planning on keeping going throughout August, so I'm more than happy to badger you / be badgered!

    I'm loving it so far! Feels great to have some structured exercise factored in each day - and I'm already seeing some results. Wearing a horizontal striped, jersey maxi dress today WITHOUT the need for suck-you-in magic knickers - this would not have happened pre-Jillian :D

    Stick with it - if you ever feel like missing a day or giving up, I've found the best way to get motivated is to check out before / after threads, and keep telling yourself that you can stick with *anything* for 30 measly days :)

    Best of luck!

    I am a part of another 30DS group that started back in July. Unfortunately, I let life get in the way close to the end of level 1 and didn't complete it. However, some of the results from the people in the group that did finish are amazing. It is a great workout! I am going to start back into it on Aug 8 when I return from vacation.

    Dedicate yourself to complete the workouts. They are short workouts and you will feel better and better after each one. Good luck!

    You can count me in. Mine arrived last Friday, have done day 1 level 1 and I love it, although my thighs are objecting a bit this morning.

    Let me know when you start and I will join in with you and anyone else :flowerforyou:

    Hey I was worries about this too but I have found so far the pain hasn't been too bad, just that good "you've done something" pain. I make sure to stretch out really well after each work out. I've stopped doing my gym weights and am treating this as my strength training (which is great as I needed a change) and if I am too tired from other workouts or have a long run planned I'll just skip a day and then pick it up again on the next one. It is working well so far :)

Weight is starting to come off and I feel like I could do it without DYING right off the bat! lol Wish me luck! Wanna get in the habit before school starts back up in 3 1/2 weeks! :-)

    Hi! I'm getting married in September too. My DVD just arrived today and I had a go - wow! I can't remember the last time I glowed so much :)

    Looking forward to seeing some results soon, particularly around my stomach and thighs.

    My Goal is Sept 15th so I'm in - just started Jillian today. Wasn't too bad but I keep up with two young boys all day and run up and down stairs. I'm also on the SMASH eating plan (so can't be called a diet yet it is). Looking forward to support!

    I would be happy to do it with you starting next week.

    This will be my second round. I finished my first round the 6th of July, with excellent results.

    Hi everyone, count me in too. Ordered it 2 days ago so hopefully it'll be here in the morning. I'm a bit of a stranger to exercise so this will be a challenge!! lol. Looking forward to doing it as part of a group :smile:

    Congratulations.. We can work on this together. Nothing like being a bride to whoop you into gear. When in September do you get married? I'm getting married on the 9th in a tiny little English country hotel in the Yorkshire dales.

    Whooop IT'S HERE! Got my DVD through this morning taken a look at level 1 looks simple enough not saying easy just yet but the moves are well explained. I think I may have to add a little extra warm up & cool down stretching though.. as that short stretch after just is not enough I will be in pain the next day.

    I am going to be doing my Zumba along slide the 30 day shred and I am going to keep up with my yoga to by adding it onto the cool downs at the end.

    All in all I am very very excited to start this together. I have taken before photos so I have something to go against when I finish.

    Hi everyone - I've just completed day 4 of 30 day shred. It felt a lot easier today than the first two days! My shoulders are really sore in the mornings I've been going a little easier with the weights, but in fairness, I was using 3kg weights when the average seems to be 1kg, so I may have overdone it a bit.

    Straight after the 30 day shred, I move on to 6 week abs. Now that is a killer!! My HRM tells me I'm burning more fat with this DVD and I definitely feel it during and afterwards.

    I'm really enjoying both DVDs though and feel pumped after my workout. Can't wait to start seeing some results on my hips and abs where all the jiggly bits are.
