    thats a good idea. But if you do it on a month that has 31 days it's not that big of a deal... that means you get 1 day off somewhere in there which can be a good thing!

    great. So far no one has said there is already a September 30 Day Shred challenge, so I will start one. Maybe a few more people will join us by then. I'll make a new thread on the 1st for our group.

    I'm game! I've never done 30DS before, but I just tried it yesterday and I'm definitely up for a September challenge. I have to find a tape measure to get measurements in the next few days because I have a feeling thats where I'll see most of the results. :ohwell:

    I am willing for another challenge but I am new to this and have NO IDEA what a 30 DS is. Can anyone explain it to me?

    I'm game - I started once earlier this summer but didn't finish - August was a bust for me so I'm looking to make September better and healthier :-)

    I'm down!! I've done it before (sporadically) and it helped me lose about 12 pounds in all. I'm ready to start up again!

    I'll be trying it for the first time, starting Thursday so that I can follow the days of September without losing track.
    I've never joined a challenge before and I'm looking for a loss of inches rather than weight, so count me in if you'd like. :smile:

    Zonegirl51 - it's a Jillian Michaels DVD of short intense cardio workouts mixed with some resistance training. 25? minutes daily for 30 days.

    I hope I got that ^ right. :wink:

    Count me in too. I have the "ripped in 30" DVD by Jillian so I will do that one. My goal is to lose 16 pounds before Halloween.

    Well I'll create the new thread on the 1st. We just need to decide if we would all like to take measurements & weight on the 1st and post it or just take the measurements & weight, then not post it until the end of the 10 days? We can update our weight & measurements every 10 days for motivation or we can just post our starting and ending after the 30 days is done.

    I know some do not like to do it 10 days sraight with no rest day and others prefer to do 10 days then a rest day before starting the next level. I personally prefer to go straight through, all 30 days without a rest day so that I do not lose the motivation to keep up with doing it. However you prefer to do it is fine, but each day just post what day & level you are on. Feel free to complain about any part of the workout, I know when I did it before I had a lot to complain about, but it definitely did start getting easier.

    This time I plan to go all 30 days without stopping and since it has been so long since I have last done it, I'm sure I'll have more to complain about! haha

    It is the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It's about 25-28 minutes long. You do one level for 10 days, then the 2nd level for 10 days, then the 3rd level for 10 days. It's based on a 3-2-1 intervals, 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute of abs. The dvd is pretty cheap, can be purchased from walmart, target, amazon, ebay, etc.

    That's a good dvd, I bought it and tried the first level, seemed easier on my knees than 30 day shred did. I'm thinking of starting an October Ripped in 30 challenge, as long as I survive the Shred again. So it should be interesting hearing your experience with it as we do the shred, will help prepare me a little.

    I definitely lost inches when I first did this, I didn't lose much weight during that time, but the inches made a big difference.
