    I started the 30 day shred yesterday & it kicked my butt. I hadn't exercised for 3 weeks & I probably should have started off with my WII Excercises first.

    Great job!

    Typically, yes. This first week is just different because the 1st was on a Thursday. The weight for this week was a starting weight. From now on we'll weigh in on Fridays.

    Hello All! I'm sorry for the late post. I am 28 years old and I'm 5'3 and 140 pounds. I've always played sports throughout my life, including rugby in college. This has always helped me stay fit, healthy, and strong and I always felt really good about myself. I left college at a very fit, muscular 130 pounds six years ago. Since college I have slowly put on weight, lost muscle, and gained fat. More significant though, I haven't been healthy. I'm not worried so much about the weight and inches; I just want to know I'm eating right and getting exercise to create heathy habits for life. I hope these mini challenges each week will keep my focus and help me get back on track and on a routine!

    Awesome attitude! We have a great team.

    Ken

    i only say that because even though the scale has been sluggish to move, my measurements are steadily decreasing... my clothes are getting roomier also... i think it's just a numbers game :(

    If your clothes are getting roomier, you're doing something right! Don't worry about the scale as much as how you look and feel to yourself! Way to go! I might put my pics up at the end of the challenge, we shall see...went to the Minnesota State Fair yesterday and ate so very much. Good thing is, I counteracted it with walking around for about 6-7 hours!

    BAHHHH! I just saw the posted assignment for this week. SO...Here's a quick catch up.

    Intro: my name is Jenna, i've been married to a wonderful man for 2 years and I'm starting my second year of law school. I was a college athlete for four years, and Since I graduated in 2009, I've fallen off the wagon. I still play a little bit (slowpitch, mostly) and I really HATE running. In fact, I think I'd rather sit through a few Time Share sales pitches than run a mile. BUT I have been working hard to run anyways, and I am finding that although I still hate running, it is an escape from school and housework!

    I am very excited about this! God luck everyone! I will post pics tomorrow!

    I started the 30 DS today! I've started it before, but I think I only did 7 days, and they were very broken up!

    If you search "30 day shred" in the forums you can see before/after pictures, and some of them are phenomenal! It made me want to start back up again! I hope I see a big change (and that I can stick with it!)

    I'm just worried I'll end up gaining a lot because of it, so I'm making sure to drink a lot of water. I'm sooooo close to my next goal, I hope I don't get further away!

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Hello everyone! I have just been reading through all your stories. :) Sorry it took so long for me to post, I kinda lost the thread, and have been busy with back to school time. I LOVE it when the kids go back to school!

    I am 27 years old, mom of 2 girls, 9 and 3. I was very tiny and skinny throughout my teens, but after my oldest daughter was born, I kinda ballooned and didn't really care much about it. After a couple years of this, I made the decision to work on my health, and successfully went from 150 lbs to 123 lb. Then got preganant with baby #2, and although my weight has varied, I don't feel happy with the shape of my body expecially my tummy. :(

    Right now I am single parenting as my hubby has moved to another city about 13 hours away for a new job. I am using this opportunity to take some much needed time for myself and focus on eating healthier (I tend to be a BAAAD emotional eater!) and get in some exercise. I am on day 10 of the 30 day shred, and my 3 year old loves to do it along with me. I have to be careful I don't hit her with a hand weight! LOL.

    I'm 5' 2", and my starting weight as of Sept 1st was 124 lbs. I'm hoping to hit my goal weight of 105 within 2 to 3 months.

    Welcome, Walocksmistress! I'm on Day 2 of the 30DS, lol. I'm excited to see our progress! I've seen that a lot of people often lose more inches than weight. I love losing weight, but what I really need is to lose inches off my big ol' booty, LOL!

    Week 1 Goals Achieved!!!! 5 workouts ( I ran in a 5k race on Monday which was just under 30 minutes but I did warm up for about 5 minutes so I am counting it as 30 :smile: ) I do have such a hard time drinking all of my water, does anybody else have a hard time and how do you find ways other than drinking 4 glasses at the end of the day!

    Great job, Ken!

    As for water, I always have a water bottle with me wherever I go, even at home. It reminds me to stay hydrated. I usually drink at least 1 cup of water with my meals and snacks. It's easy when you're used to having it around. My husband and I drink a lot though, I think more than average.
