Hey,

This is my first day at myfitnesspal. I am usually a Weight Watchers follower, but lately I've been wanting something different and my sister suggested I try this so here I am! I've already been doing the Shred for a week, but I wanted to join a group so I make sure to keep it up. It really does work, but sometimes around the third level I start to lose my momentum and I want to truly do all 30 days. Good luck to everyone!

    Hello, I would like to join in too please!
    I have already started (just) after reading about the DVD on MFP, I ordered for £5 and am on day 4.
    I think i could do with some help keeping it up! I would like to attempt to do it in one go, but will see how it goes, I am really aching now and unsure after watching level 3 how I would complete it! I do worry that I am not doing the exercises correctly so am trying to concentrate on doing them right, I find the final stomach bicycling exercise a killer - will i be able to do this at the end of day 10? If i still find level 1 really hard at day 10 do i continue for a while longer or just move up a level?
    It will be good to find out how everyone else finds it.
    Thanks :happy:

    Hi, I hope it's ok that I join you :)

    I'm new to MFP, but not to losing some pounds.

    I plan to do 30DS in 6 weeks, do it Monday-Friday. I've already done my first week, so I'll be finishing up level 1 this friday :)

    So excited to have you all!!! I can't wait to get started. I will also be walking 3-4 times a week. I know we can all stick to it with some support! Just remember it is only 27 minutes a day :smile:
  • I started 6 week 6 pack this morning and also couch potato to 5k. I will do those every other day and do 30 DS every Monday-Friday. I will be doing a 2 mile walk every day - gotta walk the puppy. I'm glad to have support to start this thing ... I just hope this time I am able to finish it! :)

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm new to myfitnesspal and a huge fan of the 30 day shred. Jillian Michaels sure knows how to whip someone into shape. Anyways, I'm here for support and motivation to continue to stick through this. I've done the 30DS before and lost 10 pounds, unfortunately I didn't stick with my exercising afterwards and gained some of that weight back. I really want to make this apart of my lifestyle and hope you guys and myfitnesspal, along with my desire to be a healthy, happy and active individual will keep me on track long past the 30 day shred! I look forward to hearing all of your updates and seeing my own progress on this journey! I started my 30dayshred today. OUCH!!!

    I am looking fwd to this!!! I so need the motivation to keep me going. I too end up giving up and not following thru.
  • Hey all

    I've had 30DS in my cupboard since January and have never used it! I'm hoping joining this group will motivate me.
    I will attempt to do the workout at least 5 days/week.
    Hopefully we can all motivate each other :-)

    I am going to start this today. I got the DVD. I joined this to help with motivation. I have a million excuses, but I'm ready to get healthy. I feel like this will be a great way to kick off some major weight loss! Here we go!!

    Hi, everyone! Today is Day 4 of L1 for me, but I'm taking a rest day each week, so I should be pretty much on schedule with the rest of you :smile:

    Just remember to take it one day at a time and you'll get there before you know it.

    So, how are you doing it? I can't decide if I want to do the 30 days straight, (after all, it's only 30 min I should be able to squeeze in a workout on weekends as crazy as they get), M-F take weekends off, do each level and then take a break .... I just don't want to over do it and not be able to complete the program YET AGAIN!!!

    Hey everyone! I'm so looking forward to doing the 30DS! I have had the DVD for months but have yet to try it. Thinking if I have some motivation and support I'll be able to get through it! Just finished Level 1 Day 1. Holy! That's a workout! Proof I really need to work on my strength and core! Haha! Looking forward to getting to know all of you and motivate you all along the way! :)

    I am planning on plowing through and doing it for 30 days straight.

    Hello all! I did Day 1 yesterday and couldn't quite finish - Felt like I was going to pass out or get sick. Not my first time attempting it, but the first time I'm able to do it with any level of intensity.

    I also do Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursdays at work and burn 600+ cals on those days, so I probably will not do any Jillian on those days :)
