Hi Everyone!

I'm new to myfitnesspal and I'm loving the site and its positive environment so far! A little history on me: I'm 30, happily married, great job, but my constant desire to be more fit and healthy is wearing me out and I'm ready to commit to change!

My Challenge: For everyday in the month of November, I'm going to do Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred It w/ Weights dvd and I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to participate in the challenge with me! I've always seen success and enjoyed the journey more when I have a "running mate" - someone to motivate me, support me, and who doesn't love a little friendly competition!?

So if you're interested, reply to this posting. We'll post our weight and measurments (and even a current photo for the all impressive before/after shots!) on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 1st.

    AHHH!!! :D THIS IS THE PERFECT POST FOR ME!!!!

    My November Goals:
    1. 30 Day Shred
    2. 100 Running Miles
    3. cut down on sugars !

    I finished 100 miles in October, which was amazing and I didn't think I could do it!! BUT I tried the 30DS in Sept and quit at 12 days.. but I REALLY, REALLY want to keep it up for the entire 30 days!!

    I need lots of motivation!! (like, daily!!) I know it's only 20 minutes but still =]

    I'm so excited and I'll post my before and after measurements if everyone else does too!!!

    I LOVED/hated doing the 30ds. I made it to the very beginning of the 3rd level before going to Jamaica with my love and just never finished. I know it works because I got more endurance and my arms were beginning to show definition. It's been over a month now and it's time to get back in the game! I need to get past 150 once and for all...and quit swinging btwn 153-160. It's getting ridiculous...seriously! I can't wait!! I'm SOOOO excited! ahhh!!!

    You can post it under "circuit training, general". I usually enter 20 minutes since I don't count the warm-up.

    Awesome to find a group of fellow Shredders! I'm planning to start L1 tomorrow 10/31 so I guess I'll have a jump start! Good thinking on measurements and pics - I'll have to do that tomorrow so that I can chart my progress!

    I would love to do this with y'all this month! I have never made it all the way thru the DVD in fact I don't know that I've ever gotten to level 2. I got sick this weekend so I hope to be good to start on the 1st but we'll see. I'll start as soon as I can I guess. I am in a wedding on Dec 3rd so this would be the perfect time to sculpt the muscles :) So excited to do this with everyone!

    Can anyone tell me how this works? How long do you do Level 1 for? The full 30 days?
  • sarah307
    sarah307 Posts: 1,363 Member
    typically you do :
    level one - 10 days
    level two - 10 days
    level three - 10 days
    :)

    but you can change it up / modify it based on your needs

    So on NOVEMBER 1st are we all going to take our measurements and post them ????? :D
    or are we going to keep updating and motivating each other and then at the end of the 30 days, post before and after measurements :) ??

    I'm halfway through the regular 30DS but just got the 30DS with weights so I'm in. I guess I can forgo some of the extra cardio at the gym for an hour at home with Jillian. That sounds strange but I hope it'll help with my November goal of losing 7 pounds!

    See you all in 2 days!

    I'd like to do it. Does one kettlebell suffice or do i need 2?

    ok i'm a little confused.

    Because the title of this post is for JM 30 day Shred it with Weights. And well that only has 2 levels.
    I'm assuming she is talking about the dvd where Jillian uses the kettle bells.
    So effectively you'd have 15 days on level 1, and then 15 days on level 2.

    Normal shred has 3 levels. so 10 days on each level. It also uses 2 handweights, and not kettle bells.

    I'm be in, but I love the program that I have set up for me at the moment. But might consider doing it in the new year.

    How about we post our weight, measurements and pictures on November 1st, 15th, and finally on the 30th. I also plan on posting to everyone throughout each week with how I'm feeling, struggles, motivation tools, anything that get me thru this 30-day challenge!!!!!
