Looking for a September 30 DS challenge

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

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.

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'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:

yes you most likely will see most of the results in inches. Some people have lost a good amount of weight from doing it as well, but for me it was mostly inches. And that is fine with me because inches are very noticeable also.

I hope no one gets discouraged from continuing with the shred if you are not losing pounds or if the first week you gain a few pounds. I've been told it is very common with this workout, your body is doing something new, working every muscle, they are likely to be inflamed a bit as you are putting muscle on which may show as an increase on the scale. There was a very good thread on here about an increase on the scale being different then a weight gain when starting a new workout, so look at it that way and keep track of the inches!

Any preferences on when we should post measurements? Day one then every 10 days, after 30 days, or keep measurements private but report how many inches/pounds lost every 10 days?
