    Hello Everyone .. I have done the 30ds in the past on and off (more off than on, lol) it kicks your butt !!! I am going to try again and hope I can stick with it this time. I am unsure about doing it everyday as I do get really so easily (as I am super out of shape) but I am willing to give it a go.... Here are my stats.....

    Age: 33
    Height: 5' 7"
    Weight: 155
    Goal Weight: Around 130

    Hey Everyone!
    I'm Jenni, 34, live in WI with my hubby and 7 year old son. I've been actively using MFP for almost a year now and am hovering at a 40 lb loss. I've done 30DS before but can't say I actually finished it. I probably did about 27 days. My weight loss has been tapering since I hit ONEderland and I still have 35-40 lbs to go so I need that kick start again.
    I've been Fitness Pals with Amber for a long time and she'll be a great motivator for all of us! :)

    I actually started on Friday. I just had enough and said I am starting this. But I would love to do it all the way through March.

  • Hey everyone I'm Melissa, and I'm a mom of a 7 year old boy. I go to school full-time as well as work. I start another class this week actually.

    I started MFP over a month ago and I have been logging in ever since. So far I've lost about 10 pounds and I have been working out regulary. I still eat whatever I want, I just limit myself on how much.

    I've had 30ds since September. My first attempt was the beginning of October, it was great, did it for about 5 days straight and then bam my son had to have surgery. So those few days off kind of made me lazy and I didn't continue. Now that I am more focused and dedicated, I will finish this time around.

    Hi all, this is going to be my first time using 30 day shred so I am sure it will be fun. I just got it this past Thursday and have been nervous to start but with so many others starting it at the same time I know I can do it. I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids ranging from 16 months to 10 yrs old. I am trying to get back to the pre-kid weight. I restarted using mfp dec 27, 2011 and so far am down 13 pounds after this past weeks gain.

    Do you ladies mind if i tag along too?

    I'm Graham, 30 something, from Northern Ireland. I have done 30DS before with good results but i know a lot of that was down to a great support group on MFP so i came on today to try and find one and found this one.

    Will be starting today and aiming for 30 days in a row. I managed it last time so know i can do it.

    I'm great at losing weight....but then just as great at putting back on again. Trying to break the cycle so i'm hoping there's room for me on here!

    Hello!

    I actually just started this a couple weeks ago. Hoping I can join in even though I'm 9 days in. I only do the video 3 or 4 times a week and then do other workouts on the other days, so I should be complete with the video at the end of March.

    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first time doing a Jillian Michael's DVD and I'm super excited. I have 60lbs to lose so this will be a great start!
  • Hi! I started the 30 Day Shred about a month ago, but only did it for a couple of days. I'm hoping by joining this group I will be more motivated to stick with it! I've lost 3 pounds towards my 30 pound weight loss goal.

    Hi! My name is Melissa. I am from Wyoming. I have 2 young boys so I don't make nearly enough time for myself. My HW is 283 YIKES. MY Current weight is 267 and my goal weight is 170. I have a long way to go but I am taking it in 10 lbs mile stones. I joined MFP in December 2011 and have lost 16 lbs. I was off the wagon for about 2 weeks when a family memeber passed away but now I am back on ready to make some huge life changes.

    Hiii :)

    My name is Jessica. I am 22 and I have 2 little boys (2.5 and 6 months) I've always been a big girl, but I really need to get serious about losing some weight. I've been doing the 30ds about 5x a week for a couple weeks now and I really enjoy it. I'm still on level 2.

    Right now stats-5'2, 243.4lbs. I do weekly weigh-ins on Friday and am starting monthly measurements.

    I'm really awful about talking about myself, so if you would like to know anything, let me know or you could add me if you like.

    Hi all, I'm Fiona (or Feebeast to my online pals), I'm 36 (37 in April :( boo! ) and a whole 5'1.5" tall. I'm from "sunny" Scotland (shout out to the other Scottish burds :D lol).

    I've already lost 33lb with calorie counting and going to the gym. Hated the gym, gave it up and now swim for 50mins 2 days a week to burn calries - and calorie count.

    I would LIKE to lose at least another stone, and NEED to lose 3 inch from my rib cage area to fit into a dress I've bought for my nephews wedding in June! I don't wanna be skinny... not THAT unrealistic! A healthy UK 10-12 dress would suit me (that and looking OK in a bikini - coz I'm going on holiday in August)

    Gonna give the 30DS a try in conjunction with a low cal, low carb diet...

    Good luck everyone x

    I am Tammy 31 years old from York uk.

    2 kids 3 & 6. I work full time managing homeless hostels/schemes for teenagers.

    I started 30 day shred today but doing the lighter exercises and no weights lol (it was still hard!) plan to ease myself in and start properly with weights march 1st.

    Sw 137lb
    Goal weight 120lb

    Need all the Motivation I can get!
  • Hi I'm Renee and I plan to start the 30 day shred on 1st of March - just two days away! Excited and motivated - hopefully that lasts!

    I'm planning on hitting the gym in the morning before work and doing the 30 day shred when I get home from work. Do you think that will be too much? I would take a rest day or two from the gym but not from the 30 day shred

    I'm extra excited to have found this group. I'm Consuela, a 37 year old mother of 2 boys. I love Jillian's videos, and I'm looking to doing the 30DS with all of you in the month of March!
  • Perfect timing, thx for starting this group. My name is suz and I just bought 30ds, after watching her total body revolutuon ad. This looks similar but less pricey. Hoping we all make it through, Im a little out of shape even though I do cardio. Looking forward to the muscle confusion (famous last words).

    Hi All!

    My name is Katie and I have done 30DS once before. I stuck with it because of a group like this and was so proud of myself for finishing it. I have just move to MA and while I'm job searching I figured I should be a little more aggressive on that 40lbs I have to lose -- can't think of a better way to do it!

    I don't think that I'm going to do 30 days straight because by the end of the the levels I was hurting (in a bad way) and my intensity definitely suffered :( So I think I will take 1 day off each week and either do the 34DS or the 26DS.

    Can't wait (I might not be saying that half way through the first workout hahaha), let's do this!

    Hi! I have heard great things about this DVD and I am pumped and ready to get started. Don't get me wrong I'm nervous that she will kick my a**. But wanting it and actually doing it are two different stories. What's going to keep me motivated is that my birthday is coming up and all I can do is focus on the big day..... shock the hell out of my family.
