Hi everyone! I can't believe how large our group has grown, it is wonderful! So, welcome everybody!! :flowerforyou:
Here is the link for the spreadsheet where we can record out weights and measurements for the 60 day shred challenge. Go ahead and add your name and 60 day goal weight (at the end of the spreadsheet). There is also a column labeled "#/Times" that is to track the number of times you did the workout that week, just so we can track and try to hit our goal of 30 times.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArUf3d8kn8TYdHlvWW5EUGVSZWtuUEt5NWpnUUJwaGc
We will begin on January 2nd and end on March 1st. The goal is to complete Jillian Micheal's 30-Day Shred 30 times in the 60 days. So, if you end up a day off and need to do it a couple days in a row or if you're feeling too sore and need more than a day to recover, no problem! We are giving ourselves an entire 60 days so that hopefully more people will stick with it until the end.
Each week we will post the top three winners for weight lost as well as total inches lost, just for fun and a little extra motivation to get those workouts in!
EDIT!!!! SOME CLARIFICATION!!!
There seemed to be some confusion regarding the measurements column of the spreadsheet.... Next to my username on the spreadsheet, I listed the areas that I will be measuring, which may have confused some people... Because we are going to be doing total inches lost, we all should measure the same things. That being said, anyone is welcome to measure ANYTHING they want, BUT it will not count toward the total inches lost. SO, the measurements that WILL count toward total inches lost are: BUST, WAIST (narrowest), NAVEL, HIPS (widest), R. THIGH, and R. UPPER ARM. (These seem to be the most basic and obvious places to measure, but if anyone objects, let me know!!) But, feel free to list whatever you want to measure in addition to those things, I will just exclude them when doing the tallying, but seeing the change in other body parts may still be beneficial to you! ALSO, once the challenge begins, we will post the actual number measurements next to the name of the area we are measuring under that column. So... Where it says Waist, you will add the measurement "Waist: 32". I am not putting my measurements in until January 1st or 2nd, though, but I wanted to make this clear for everyone I may have been confusing. This makes perfect sense to me, but if I am still not being clear enough, please feel free to let me know! :laugh:
I have seen some posts of amazing results using this workout, so I cannot wait to get started! Until then, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! :happy:

FANTASTIC!!
I'm not sure I should have a "goal" weight as I'm working out like an absolute demon but not losing anything at the moment. BUT, I feel bloody brilliant, so that more than makes up for it.
However, as much as I don't want to set a weight goal, firstly because I'll probably fail, and secondly because my main goal is to "not be fat but bulging with heavier muscles is ok", I shall stick it at 5kg and see how we go. That 5kg will also be my "get back into my 'before I was massive' work pants"
I've now moved onto Level 2 of 30DS and am finding it "easy", but I hear Level 3 is an absolute beast. Despite already working out to the DVD most days, I will most definitely still be joinng you on 2 JAN 11 to do the 30/60 days again, as I find the workout to be a good allrounder to get some strength training in.0 -
wow brilliant! Thanks for doing this! can't wait to start doing it now! (never thought id say that!) 0

I'm looking at Amazon and I am confused. What is the difference between the DVD and the 30DS episodes 1-3?0

guys, I think the "measurements" column is where you put what your measurements are, not what you are intending to measure.
I think we should all measure the same set of things so our numbers compare better. (because if I measure 10 things and you measure 5 I will alwasy "lose" more inches than you).
I propose:
Bust
Waist (narrowest part of your torso)
Abdomen (around hte fattest part of your tummy, usually over the navel)
Hips (widest part of your hips)
Left/Right Bicep (1 handspan above the crook of your elbow)
Left/Right Thigh (1 handlength below your hip)
Left/Right Calf (1 handwidth below the knee)
Too much?0 -

No difference in Content - different delivery method. The episodes 1-3 are the Amazon Unbox/Video on Demand service. The DVD is ....a dvd!
So the video on demand you would either have go to a computer, or a networked DVD player, or similar device (I think xbox/ps3 works). those "episodes" are the levels on the dvd - level 1, 2, 3.0 -

I put the names in because that is what I wanted everyone to measure so that we would all be measuring the same things so, as you pointed out, the inches lost would be based on the same number of measurements. I use bust, waist (narrowest), navel, hips (widest), R Thigh, and R Upper Arm... If everyone wants to add Right and Left of each and the calves, that's cool with me! I just wanted to make sure we were all measuring the same things for the reason you pointed out!0 -

I notice a lot of other people just put things in there too - I think it wasn't that clear but I assume you did mean that column for us to log our actual measurements?
What do you think about adding things? I'm actually of two minds on it. On one hand - that's a lot of measurements and its a pain in the **** and could be really off putting. On the other hand since we are measuring from week to week its not likely people will see results EVERY week on one or two areas but they may see a result in SOME area each week (like one week the left thigh, one week the right arm, etc). So that could help people stay encouraged.
Thoughts? :blushing: I'm not trying to take over, just pointing out it looked like people didn't get the point of that column (or else *I* didn't get the point of that column)0 -

People can measure whatever they want, but to go toward the top inches lost each week, we will only use what we all agree everyone will measure. I didn't think that anyone would have thought that the column was a place to list just what they were measuring, but maybe that's only because I've done other challenges that use similar spreadsheets, so I will try to make it more clear. Thanks for pointing this out. 0 -
Added my info! Can't wait to get started!0

Can I add my measurements now? or Do I have to wait until January?0

You can add them whenever you want... I am just waiting in case they change a little over the next couple of weeks... but if you want to add them now and update later, that's great too!0 -
Thank you SO much for doing this!! I am excited (and a little scared, lol) to get started. I really think doing this as a group will help keep me motivated. Also, I have a gift card for a massage that I am saving for after that first week or so when I expect I will really need it. Another thing to keep me going. :happy:0

I have a feeling I am going to be REALLY glad I didn't use that gift card when I first got it!0 -

I can wait too, just in case they do change. Good point.0 -
Just updated the sheet with my name! I will add measurements closer to January 2nd.0
-
I've never done measurements before, so this will be interesting. I will update my measurements on Jan 2nd. I hope to lose inches around the middle, my belly is definitely not the same after having a c-section last year.0
-

-
I added my name to the spreadsheet, now I just need to go buy the DVD.0

-
Thanks so much for doing this! Will go and add my name now, and measurements on 2 Jan. Scared but excited about this.0
-
This may be a dumb question but isnt waist measurment the same as navel? I was always told you go in that area to measure your waist so now Im a little confussed lol0
-
Waist in this sense is meant as the narrowest area of your abdomen.0
