I am going to be starting 30 Day Shred this afternoon and would love it if anyone else was starting today and wanted to have a support group. I plan on doing it every day for 30 days straight. Anyone in? Add me as a friend if you would like to!

    Sure. I'll join you. I have the dvd, but have never done it for 30 days straight. I will give it a try.

    I'm in...although I just finished Day 4 this morning. I can't always do it every day but I don't want to skip more than one day. I wasn't able to do it last night and can't tonight so I woke up to do Day 4 this morning at 5:30AM. (I'd rather do it at night so I can relax after.)

    Day one and two were hard but by three I felt better.

    I'd like to join just to see how others progress and how they feel.

    I just finished 3 weeks of shred it with weights and those first 2-3 days were tough but it got much easier after that. But this will be my first time through with 30 day shred. I would like to try my best to not skip a day but I know one day that I might have to skip-I will be out of town for the weekend at a wedding. I probably will get around to it friday before I leave then Sunday when I get back. Hopefully the hotel we are staying at will have a gym though!

    I bought the DVD a few weeks ago but I have not done it everyday but I want to. The first few days were kinda killer for me but day 4 was much better. I am looking forward to doing it for 30 days straight.

    I just realized my day 30 of 30DS will be Sept 6, which is the Tuesday following Labor Day weekend. Crap. We always go away to my cabin for the weekend & I know there will be alot of eating & drinking! I'm going to try to stick with it, tho! I'll take my portable dvd player so I don't miss my last days of 30DS & watch what I eat. I definately want to be able to say I did ALL 30 days.

    We also have a cabin and there is a lot of eating and drinking going on there as well. I go there all summer long and just got back Monday from being there a week and a half and it's sooooo hard to stay on track. I tried to eat well but I still let myself have fun and let loose there too some nights! We will also be going over labor day and compete in a ribfest that weekend-live music, drinks, and ribs. Lots of fun-but bad for the diet!

    I started yesterday, but I only have access to Level 1 (it's on the Exercise TV On Demand menu). Do you guys think I need to buy the DVD, or do you think I can repeat L1 for 30 days and still see results? I REALLY felt it from the first day, so I'm really thinking about investing in the DVD because I can tell it WORKS!

    I have had the DVD for a while now, but never really even opened the Plastic Wrap..... Bad, bad me..... Obviously it did not work by osmosis, as I hoped it would.... HAHAHA

    So this is it - I AM IN WITH YOU !! Will start tonight !

    And will try my BEST to follow for 30 days - just not sure will be able to do it every single day... I have a VERY demanding 2 1/2 yo little girl.....And by choice, we only have 1 TV in the house..... :tongue:

    Looking forward to this now ! But if I dont post tomorrow, then please have someone check on me as I might be passed out on the living room floor, unable to move..... :wink:

    I have also joined the LOSE 10LBS IN AUGUST challenge, so hoping this will all add up.

    Just wondering if anyone is around the same height and weight I'm at. I'm 5'5" and 190. Just curious on if anyone knows how many calories you burn doing this? And I usually log it as circuit training. What do all of you do? Thanks!

    I looked around and I saw that some people log it in as High Impact Aerobics...

    So did everyone do it today??? I just finished level 1, day 1. It was tough, especially some of the cardio parts for me but I made it through. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow! It's such a short workout, I think I will try to do it in the morning. Is everyone planning on doing 10 days at level 1, 10 days at level 2, and 10 days at level 3?

    Finished day 1! I am sore today, but I also restarted C25K yesterday, so I think that probably has more to do with my sore legs. I started out using 8lb weights and then had to switch to 5lbs. Guess I'm not as strong as I thought! lol

    hockeyd11 - Yes, I plan on doing 10 days of each. I also love that it's such a short workout.

    After I finished day 1 my legs felt like jello trying to walk up the basement stairs so I thought I'd have to do 30 days of level one. But by day 3 that wasn't the case so now I plan on doing 10 days at each level.

    I was told the 1st day at each level is hard but gets better. I am so glad I have a support group for this so I will keep at it!

    I can wait to see everyone's results after 30 days

    On to day 2 today! I think this will go pretty well cause it's split up really nicely. We only have to do 10 days at each level and each level has a nice mixture of the strength, cardio, and abs. I can't wait to hear everyone's results at the end of this! By the way, my name is Amanda...I couldn't find a good user name with my actual name in it cause they all seemed to be taken so I just used part of my email address hockeyd11.

    About to start day 2 soon here in a bit... good luck to you:). My name is Kerry!

    Day 3 tomorrow! Before we know it we will be on level 2. This seems to be much easier having to be accountable and check in. I'm glad we are here for each other

    I just started yesterday so I'm a day behind but I'd love to be a part of the group. I can barely lift my coffee cup this morning! I definitely can use all of the encouragement I can get!

    Seriously though, the soap felt heavy in the shower earlier! My muscles are so fatigued. I doubt I can even lift a weight later. Any advice? Also...for Day 1 I ended up not using weights for a third of the exercises....

    We would love to have you part of the group! My arms are a bit sore too. I have heard it gets easier as you go and by easing into it and not using weights for some of it is perfectly ok. After a few days the soreness will go away but unfortunately we have to deal with it for a little while. I'm really loving this though! For me personally, I enjoy it much better than her Shred It With Weights.

    This is perfect- I am starting today and was coming on here to see if anyone had more information on it. I'm so glad we can all do this together! I have it free on OnDemand so I don't have the DVDs and I was wondering- do you know how long we should be doing each one? Should we divide the month up equally- aka workout 1 for 10 days then workout 2 for 10 and so on.. to equal the 30 days? Or do you move on through the program once you feel you are ready for the next step up? Also- does anyone know how many calories you burn during it? I'd like to log it on here!

    I'm about to go do it for the first time! Can't wait!
