Hey Everyone! Let's introduce ourselves!
Here it goes...
I am really excited about doing the shred. I have been thinking about it a long time and finally bit the bullet and picked up a DVD. Now I need a little encouragement to others to hold me accountable! I know that we can keep each other on track!
I am 42 years old. A mom of two amazing kids. I gained weight after each of my kids and never took it off. No excuses...just what happened. It is time for me to take control of my life and start to look good in our vacation pictures! lol

Hello! Similar story, I'm 27 - mom of two great kids (2.5 and almost 4) and put weight on during both pregnancies. Managed to lose 25 pounds (mostly with 30 Day Shred and calorie counting) after the second one was born but have since gained it all (plus a few) back. Ready to lose it for good! I plan on doing 30DS while mixing in other workouts and trying harder to eat right. I don't feel like the chubby girl I've become, and I'm always shocked when I see myself in pictures. Time to ditch these 30 pounds for good!0

Hello I am Maureen. I am 26 and the mom of three girls (6,3 and almost 2). I put on 46 pounds total between my all 3 of my pregnancies and want to get rid of it once and for all. I have the DVD and just haven't done it yet. Do I need weights or anything special to do it?0

Hello everyone, I'm 37 and feeling every one of those years. I have a very fit family of runners (hubby does marathons and will do his 2nd Boston in April, daughter age 11 does 25 minute 5Ks, and my son who is almost 9 is doing sub 24 minute 5Ks) I am the only "big" one in the family so I am looking to get healthy and feel better about myself! I bought this DVD about a month ago and have done it randomly. I NEED this group to hold me accountable and do it the full 30 days! I too started this morning before finding this group and will just do 32 day shred
I have 2 goals, first is to have a smaller waist than bust and the 2nd is to be in the "normal" range for my BMI.
Good luck to everyone, I've heard that I'm a great cheerleader while watching all the races 0 -
Hello, my name is Cassie and I'm 36yrs old. No kiddos, but 4furbabies that keep me busy. Looking forward to making a change in my life. Things all around me are coming together nicely....now I just need to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have always been overweight ever since i can remember. The last few months I have been uncomforable just sitting (even when noone else is around) ....time to do something about it! Bring it on Jillian! I plan on walking my pups (weather permitting) and hopefully some other routines to jumpstart my new journey.0

Hi everyone My name is Missy and I'm a 27 year old stay at home mom of 3 boys (7, 5 and 1) and about to be adding a stepdaughter in the mix next week (she's 7 also). I've always been on the bigger side but have steadily gained a total of about 70-80 lbs throughout the last 8 years or so of having babies. I started on mfp about a month and a half ago at 291 and I'm currently 277 (I'm 5'9")- my ultimate goal is 145 or whatever looks good on my frame and is a "healthy" BMI. I just got my 30 day shred dvd in the mail this afternoon and I am ready to buckle down and see some serious results this month 0

hi. i'm therese. i'm a single 32 year old that's been struggling with weight since the beginning of time.
i'm in a pretty stagnant job so it's really easy to gain weight, especially since the fridge is always stocked. i've recently started back up on mfp and i'm ready to take it super seriously. i realize that this part of my life is the only thing that i have complete control over so i need to get on it! no excuses. i've had jm's 30 day shred for a while, but it's unopened. lol. so i'm ready to try it! this will help with my crosstraining since i'm currently in the middle of following the c25k schedule. nice meeting you all! the best way to do stuff is to have a great support group! can't wait to start! 0 -
Hi, I'm Megan...37 with two girls (2 and 5). I lost the weight after my first daughter was born, but am struggling with it since my second. I just started 30DS last night...heading downstairs right now to do day 2. Are you all going to do it everyday? I was a little sore today, wondering if that soreness with go away over time as I adjust to the workout. So excited to be doing this with a group...thanks!!0

Hello everyone! I am a twenty-three year old college student who wants to get into shape and lose some inches. I started Ripped in 30 and will be finished with week 4 tomorrow. Also, I have started Killer Buns and Thighs and have one more week after tomorrow. I have had the 30 Day Shred video for a while and even did ten days of level one, but I stopped there. Now, after doing Jillian Michaels other videos and being more in shape I am ready to start the 30 Day Shred again.0

Hi Megan. I am very unfit and did level 1 for about 8 days about a month ago. on day 2 I was a little sore, but did my workout for the day. Woke up the next morning VERY sore (had tears when I had to sit down - even to go to the bathroom) skipped that day for the workout and woke up on day 4 feeling good and wasn't sore any more! I've done the workouts very randomly so far and never been very sore again! Keep going, it will get get easier!0 -
Good to know, thank you! I skipped push-ups tonight, but did the rest. Hope I can walk tomorrow morning! 0

Hi All! I am going to be 31 in October. I have a son that will be 2 in August.. I am a stay at home momma, and am very thankful for it and yes we do have rough and stressful days as well that make me want to eat sometimes.. Agh.. Okay nuff of that.. I have been off the wagon since we got back from vacation in may and looking to get back on.. Hoping this helps, but summer are harder for me to do the healthy eating as opposed to the winter, some dinners are late so we get pizza or to go food.. Doesn't help hubby is the type that can eat anything, anytime, anywhere and not gain anything.. Anywho.. Feel free to friend me to keep in touch as well.. Good luck all.. We can do this if we stick together!0

Hi! I am a first time mom to a 6 week old little girl. I'm looking to get rid of the last 10 pounds to get to where I was pre-baby (had gained 40 pounds with this pregnancy) and then 5 more to ideal weight of 115. I got my ok to workout yesterday and did my first workout today! After not working out my entire pregnancy it was a bit tough... but I am pretty motivated and I am glad I have you guys to help me be accountable for doing my workouts!0

Hi everyone, I am Tammy it appears I may be the oldest here. I am 51 and have struggled with my weight since junior high. I have lost 100 pounds a few times in my life (both times I became pregnant. It is safe to say that won't be happening this time around !!!) I have always been a very emotional eater no matter the emotion I ate. I had my last child at 45 after meeting my current husband. I had a wake up call a little over a month ago when sitting at the table the 6 yr old stated "she like the fat of the meat"
This has made me look at myself and my food relationship. I need to set a better example for all my children and I need to be as healthy as possible being an older mom to be her for her.
I started 30DS once and made it 10 days then vacation and other types of exercise came into the picture, but I would really like to be able to say I completed this !!! This is just the motivation I need. Good luck0 -
Hi everyone.
I'm Pati, and just turned 36.
At my heaviest I was at 205 after my twins were born and I never quite lost any of that weight and currently weigh 157
I am a mother of 4 fun kids! Two boys and twin girls. My oldest is 11 and I have a set of twins that are 8 and my littlest is just a weee 9 months old. Now that our family is complete, I'm trying to focus on me.
I'm proud to say I'm at my lightest weight today than I have ever been! I've lost 46 lbs over the last 6 months, and am really trying to be the healthiest I can be. I'm involved in a weight loss challenge that ends July 15 so I need more motivation to keep going! I've only lost 10 lbs during the 90 days of the challenge but that's 10 - whole-pounds-gone!! Yay! I may not win that challenge but at least I know I'm trying hard and I have a loss on the scale.
I have tried a few times to "do" the 30 day shred. I would make it a week or two then miss a day...then miss two days....then never quite went back to finish and thought...well...I'll have to start at day 1 all over again. I'll start...next week....next month.... next time.
I really did start yesterday but I took today 7/7 off and will join in on Day 1 Level 1 with you all tomorrow!
I'm glad I found this group so I can be held accountable for making sure I do it everday.
Feel free to add me as a friend, I love motivational friends!0 -
Hello!!! I'm Mel! 27 years old from Washington state. I work out 6 days a weeks but never actually finished 30 day shred! Feel free to add me!0

Hi all. I'm Chris and mum to 2 fantastic boys ( 3 and 6 ) they are very busy and I need to sort myself out (weight and general fitness) so I can keep up with them. I have nearly all of JM's dvd's and am now ready to use them (apparently owning this isn't enough - go figure!) Let's go !!! 0

Hi, I'm LouAnn. I'm 39 years old and excited to do the Shred for 30 straight days. I have a weight loss goal of 60 pounds due to a very inactive lifestyle catching up with me over the years. I am challenging myself that "someday" starts today. I look forward to inspiration from everyone and can't wait to see what the results for everyone will be after 30 days.0

Hey everyone! I'm Kim. I live in Texas. I'm 43, married, no kids (well I have furr babies!) I had planned on starting 30 ds today anyway and I'm glad I found this group first! I just completed day 1 and I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow!
I have a question....are you guys logging the workout? If so how are you counting it, and are you eating your exercise calories back??0 -
Hey there. I bought 30DS back in May and managed to get to Day 8 of Level 1 but then stopped due to a sunburn and going out of town and then just never started back up. Here's to all of us putting ourselves through absolute torture!! :-P0

I put it in as Circuit Training. I'm still undecided on the eating back calories thing.0 -
I put it in as circuit training as well, and I eat back my exercise calories if I'm hungry for them- but I don't force myself to eat them all.0

hi everyone! i'm stephanie, 26 yrs and from philly! i started the 30ds about 2 months ago but never finished so i'm hoping that being a part of this group will keep me motivated to finish all 30 days!
good luck and can't wait to see results!!0 -
Hi all! I'm 33 years old and live in upstate NY. I bought the shred a while ago but it is still in plastic. I am definitely going to try this with all of you. I am a parent to a 2 year old and although I lost the weight right away, it has come creeping back because I find myself so busy with being a working mom that planning healthy meals and exercise get put on the back burner. I'm ready to invest in me again and am feeling like this would be a great group for me. Hello and good luck to all of us!!0
