Howdy, my name is Arlene. I started the 30 DS yesterday. I'm really excited about this group and having other people on the same boat as me to motivate me through this next month!

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am also just started 30 day shred (may27th). I am a mom of two little ones; 5 yr old son and 3 yr old daughter. I am still nursing a parachute injury to my foot. I have a torn ATFL, but that isn't going to stop me! I can't run right now, even though I love to do it But to keep up my cardio I spin pretty much everyday!

Hey! I haven't decided if I'm going to wait to the first to actually start.. I'm 25, just started getting back into strength training, but I'm really quite horribly out of shape. Hopefully not for long!

I just ordered the DVD today so hopefully it will arrive in time.. if it's here early i'll start as soon as possible! x

I got the instant stream from amazon for 4.99 and I just sit my lap top in front of me with the volume way up for now

I'm Claire, I'm 20 and from Oxford in the UK
I'm currently 152 and hoping to get to around 130.
I'm new to the Eat More to Weigh Less regime and feeling good so far :drinker:

I walk around 2 miles a day and do Zumba on my Wii Fit.
I'm going to start on June 1st because I ordered the DVD today so hopefully it will get here just in time :happy:
I also have an elliptical cross trainer arriving in 3 weeks!

Hope I see some results - nice to meet everyone :flowerforyou: xox

Hi! I am MaryMargaret, a 40 YO vegetarian mom of 3 young kids from Upstate NY (not NYC). I am not overly active, enjoy walking, but don't do it more than maybe once per week. LOVE to garden... and have just about completed my spring planting (60 tomato plants!!, eggplant, spinach, kolrabi, beets, swiss chard, basil, onions, garlic, strawberries, watermelon, pumpkin, carrots, radish, lots of different lettuces, spinach, peas, several different beans, peppers, nasturtium, and various other flowers) We have two main gardens 45x 90 feet and 60x60 feet. We also raise chickens.

I currently weigh 140 and am looking to lose about 10-15 lbs - but have been at it for about 8 weeks and only lost about 3 lbs!!! Started the 30DS back in April, but had to stop b/c I had wrist surgery in beginning of May. Think that by June 1st, I will be able to do everything but the pushups. I will modify in some way and add them when my wrist is strong enough.

The 30DS is pretty intense.... but I found last time that by a few days in, I was feeling stronger and actually added a few extra minutes to the workout to increase the calorie burn. Can't wait to see the results everyone touts with this program!

Hi,
I'm Caitlin. I just found this group today as I was seeking some motivation for 30 DS. I actually started 2 days ago so today will be day 3 for me, but I'm hoping I can still be part of your group!!
So a little about me...well I just turned 29 I have two kids ages 4 & 5. Weight has been a lifelong struggle for me. I am 5'4" and weigh 190 as of today, I just started MFP a week ago and even though I have been tracking and exercising somehow I managed to gain 3 lbs. this week. I am hoping it is because of the TOM and muscle and water retention from beginning 30 DS. I am going to do my measurements this evening so I can have something else to go by.
I am so excited to join this group and meet some people that I can help motivate, as well as have somebody to get through this journey with. I will send you all friend requests, if that is okay.

Good luck to us all, I think that we can all do it! Yay!!!!!

Hello, I would love to join this group. I started 30ds yesterday. I also started c25k on a few days ago. I am 5'4 and weigh 187lbs. My goal is 140 lbs. I have three kids ages 20, 11 and 9. I've gaining and losing the same 20 lbs for the past 3 years. I'm really ready to get to a healthy weight and lifestyle.

I look forward to all the support we can offer one another. :flowerforyou:

Hi, I'm Allison from Nanaimo, BC, Canada. 31 years old, mother of a one year old and Sales/Marketing Manager for web development firm. I started the shred on May 31 with a bunch of ladies from my May 2011 baby group and I'm looking for support from as many sources as possible. I'm notorious for giving up on fitness plans too soon.

I just have the one little guy, but he started walking when he turned 1 last month, so it's .time for mommy to get back in shape so I can keep up with him. Plus I have bridesmaid duty in August and I'd like to look good and feel confident in the dress.

Feel free to add me if you like.

Hello! I'm Kristin, from southern Maine. Currently 190, SW 211 (early Feb on MFP), original SW 240. Hoping to start 30DS tonight, as I am going to do the instant streaming from Amazon. Hoping it'll be what I need to kick me into gear!!!
