    Hi I'm Betsy and I have also tried the 30DS but was never able to complete it for various reasons. I am hoping that being part of this group will give me the motivation I need to stick with it and lose the weight and inches I want before June. :)

    Hello everyone! My name is Naveel, and I used to alternate between 30 Day Shred Levels 1 & 2, and No More Trouble Zones. I bought the DVD when it first came out in 2008, and it really helped me reshape my body and lose 36 lbs. I recently lost 9 lbs, after gaining 10 back last year, and now I'd like to lose the last pound, and maybe 5 more...a total of 6 lbs. The weight isn't as important as toning up my thighs, my butt and my arms so I can look how I did 2 years ago!

    Hello, my name is Mona and this'll be my 2nd attempt to finish 30DS. I had to stop my routine because of a trip and a following TOM, I hope this time I can nail it.

    hey Owen - great to have you on board - there's definitely atleast another guy doing it check him out int he group names - or via my friends list - EricwithaC - he's ACE

    it's open to anyone and everyone, the workouts are actually pretty hard work, but there seems to be a stigma about exercise dvds being for girls.... so JOIN JOIN JOIN

    Oh, Hi, I'm Patricia, I've been pretty athletic all my life, till injuries and life sidelined me completely, i went from 145 in july 2009 to 195 in dec 2011. i've been working away at it and am down to 172 now. hoping the shred(along with my usual jiu jitsu workouts) will help me get back into shape quicker.

    my name is Twyla I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. This will be my 3rd attempt at the 30DS. I stopped the first 2 times due to getting illnesses during my routine and never picked it back up. I am hoping this time I will complete each of the levels for the full 30 days!

    Hi my name is Melissa :) I have tried doing the 30 day shred once before but after day 1 I started having extreme lower abdominal pain and eventually it took me to the ER which I found that I had a 6.5 cm cyst on my right ovary.. They wanted to operate but waited 2 weeks to see if it would shrink naturally.. luckily it did but did not leave me painless... I am now in the clear after a visit to the doc Friday it has shrunk 4 cm and they think it will go away naturally!! Here is to me not feeling down anymore.. Here is to me putting the hard in front of the easy.. and getting to the me I want to be..

    :happy:

    Hi there Melissa, i have cysts on my ovaries as well and have found that abdominal exercises exacerbated the whole situation. However i'm with you currently as i have a cyst on my right ovary of 5cm and will be doing this program as well. Good luck!

    Hi all! My name is Amanda and I'm 23 and a senior in college. I'm from St. Louis, MO but go to school in Rolla. I'm a computer programmer, so I sit in front of a screen basically all day everyday. I got 30DS in the mail about a month ago (one of my friends recommended it) and have yet to open it. Figure this will provide me a good motivation to finally start it and hopefully stick with it!

    Howdy! Brittany from Indiana and I'm 21. Just starting to get in shape and thought the 30 day shred would be a good place to start, hoping with a little motivation I can stick with it.
