edited October 3 in Motivation and Support
I'm starting the 30 Day Shred next week. I previously joined a group, but am now 10 days behind due to catching a really bad cold/flu. So, now that my energy levels are back up and I'm feeling better, I'm ready to start the 30 Day Shred again and make it thru to the end which will actually go into the beginning of the second week in November. Just in time to be in shape before Thanksgiving!! *gobble-gobble*

If anyone is interested in joining me, please let me know. I'll be updating my progress on here, but also track statistics on a spreadsheet and will include measurements/weight at Day 1, Day 11, Day 21 and finally Day 30.

Whether you like to start your week's routines on Sunday or Monday or even mid-week, please join in. It's always easier to stay motivated in a new exercise routine if you have others taking on the same challenge as you.

So, if you're ready to start, weigh and measure yourself this weekend. The measurements I usually track are neck, bust, chest (below bra), waist, hips, thighs, calves, biceps and forearms. For the 30-day shred, I'm actually tracking both the left and right side of arms & legs as opposed to just one side to get a more accurate account of inch-loss. Oh, and of course, don't forget pictures!

I'm excited to start, especially after seeing so many before & after pics of people who have completed it. I'm hoping to definitely be one of the success stories on here, so let's do it!!!

    I'll join! I was up to day 5 level 2, but haven't done any for 2 weeks ... went on vacation and fell off the wagon. I figured I should start Level 1 again... so this would be a good time!

    mikioi - birdie0929 - ShannanLaNae: Great! If you would like for me to track your measurements/weight, just get them to me over the weekend or early next week. I'll create a spreadsheet and have it all tracked so we can see how well each is progressing.

    hrobinson416 - No problem. If you'd like to join us, feel free. You can just give us a little insight as to what we're up against since you'll be experiencing the soreness and challenge of the different levels a few days before the rest of us. If you want me to track your information, I can add it to spreadsheet. I'll be tracking it by Days as opposed to a concrete "date". So your Day 1 and Day 10, etc.. will be the same as others, you'll just reach it before the rest of us do.

    Count me in too!!! I'll probably do my first day Sunday because I have to buy the DVD. Do you know if you're supposed to just do the video or if you can do other exercise too.. like extra cardio (running, biking)?
    Also, should we post our "before" measurements/weight? Or maybe just wait for the results haha :-p

    honestly, i started a month ago and am only now on level 2, day 2. after the first day, i literally couldn't walk for 3 days so i don't know how all these people do it for 30 days straight!? i do know this - i was at a plateau for almost 3 months - not gaining or losing - and after a few shred workouts, i lost 3 pounds! coincidence??? good luck to you all. i think i'll stick to doing it once a week...

    Lelafin - If you can fit in more exercise, it's just all the better in the long run. I'm always on a time-crunch, so 30min a night is about all i can fit into my schedule at this point. Yes, I was planning on tracking on Day 1, Day 11 (at start of Level 2), Day 22 (at start of Level 3) and then probably Day 30 or 31 after videos are done.

    jwil1231 - cjack19 - Kia148 - wolffs05 - jsolor9841: Welcome!

    NiennaMarie - Yes, I was just telling hrobinson416 that we can still track you even though your start date is ahead of ours since I'll be tracking on spreadsheet by Day 1, Day 11, etc... as opposed to calendar dates.

    jsolor9841 - Here's a short video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuJcM93v9AY
    You can purchase video at hastings, walmart, etc....

    brk_1982 - All you have to do is just post your results, suggestions, struggles here and join in keeping each other motivated. I'll be keeping a spreadsheet of measurements and weight for those that want to submit their stats to me. This way we can see how each other is doing and by seeing others progress is a great way to stay motivated and continue the challenge.

    jmhunter84 - Welcome!!

    dsckrc - I was sore after day 2 and I wonder how I'll keep going for 30 days, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. I have problems with my knee, so I discovered that I had to modify some of the exercises as to not aggravate it as much.

    NiennaMarie - Great! I'll get the spreadsheet started this weekend and post the link. Oh, what about waist? I do two measurements for waist. One roughly at belly button and then the other one across the hips.

    normusnonaliam - Great! Get me your measurements, etc, if you'd like me to track them on spreadsheet with others. I'll be putting that together this weekend.

    I did write my waist down, just missed them off here. Glad I re-measured though because I've magically put on 2 and half inches in the last hour. Woops.

    Ok, I've checked and double checked and my waist across the belly button is 37.5 and at the hips its 40.

    I usually measure my waist at the smallest part and at the belly button... I'm really high waisted. I think I'm going to measure Sunday just because I've kinda slipped up with eating yesterday and today and I don't want to count in extra bloating inches - I want it to be as accurate as possible! Though I'm sure they'll still be there Sunday now that I think of it... *sigh* Stupid emotional eating.... I'm glad we're doing this. I really need the motivation!

    I'd like to join. I've had the video for a while but have been very inconsistent. Being part of a group will help me stay focused. I'll take measurements tonight.

    sasbw27 - Welcome!

    clairibou1 - Yes, that's perfectly fine. If you're gonna track measurements, either measure tonight or tomorrow so these can be tracked as your Day 1 stats.

    NiennaMarie - Got it, thanks!

    Lelafin - As long as your consistent in where you measure, that's all that counts. I wish i could say i had a "smallest part" of my waist, but I will after 30 days! I measured over 2 wks ago, but will do it again on Sunday. I fear that I've had a slight gain since then, but I want to also track my actual results, so I shall dust off that measuring tape.
