I've recently gotten a little off track regarding my goals with my food and my exercise, but today starts a new beginning for me!
Today I am beginning Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I've tried it before, but after two weeks at Level 1, I gave up. I am determined to finish this! Anyone want to join me in my journey with Jillian?! I'd love all the motivation and support I can get and I'll gladly give it in return.
I'm starting today at 125.6 lbs. (goal weight is 120)
I'm 5ft. 2. in.
I'll have to give my measurements later, as I don't have the proper measuring tape.
I'm going to try and break it up and do 10 days at Level 1, 10 days at Level 2, & 10 days at Level 3, to equal out the 30 days. If I see I can move forward sooner, I'll do just that, but for now those are my goals! I will more than likely be doing this only Monday-Friday as weekends are a whirlwind of activity in my house, but will try to see what I can do.

So, who's with me?

    I just bought 30 day shred! I am starting mine today. I am 5'4 and currently 166 lbs. My short term goal is 150 and then 135 as a long term goal. I hear this dvd is fun and very effective. I can't wait to try it!

    Count me in. I did it back in February, and am ready to start again!

    I would suggest taking measurements, as when I did it before I put weight on during level 1, but did lose inches.

    I plan on doing it Mon - Fri also with 10 days on each level!

    Just started day 1 today.

    5'8" and 190 - just came off a month long vacation and an unexpected weight gain in late February that is kicking my butt. Think it is age (and hormonally) related but we shall see... Maintained my weight for over 2.5 years until that hiccup in February of 12 lbs added.

    Thanks for the motivation!

    I tried this a while ago, but never made it past Level One! Jillian intimidates the heck out of me and Level Two kicked my bootie just in the warm up. Anyway, I look forward to seeing it through to the end this time!
    Since you've done this before I thought I'd ask you a question. How did you log it in exercise? I don't have an HRM, so, I have to use the generic listings in MFP. Last time I logged it as circuit training. I was just curious if this is accurate or if something else would be more accurate.

    Thanks!

    I did Level 1 in March. I never got to Level 2 because I found out I was pregnant.

    Unfortunately, I'm not pregnant anymore, and I want to start it NOW, but I need one more week of rest before using my abs.
    So maybe I'll catch up with you guys next week and join in :)

    Best wishes, Jillian kicks butt!

    I just did day 6 today! I can't believe how good it makes me feel! I have so much energy :) And although I did not take measurements, I FEEL the inches come off. When I look in the mirror, I can tell :) Love it!

    I am taking my time with it, I'm thinking of doing each leverl for 15 days, or at least until I can complete each excersize comfortably. For instance, I still do girly pushups lol. I would like to be able to perfect normal pushups before I move on.

    I'm on Level 2 Day 6, everyone planning to start make sure you don't workout barefoot on a hard floor because your knees will feel it and you'll sabotage your progress. And just trust the process, I gained weight in the first two weeks but it was all water weight and I've lost 7.5 inches so far and I'm just past halfway through! Best of luck!

    Got Level 1 Day 1 done on my 30 Day Shred mission! I'm sweating like crazy, but I feel good! When I tried this DVD before for the first 5 days I always had to stop during the second set of cardio to catch my breath. I am proud to say that today, I did the entire workout without stopping! Feeling pretty darn proud right now!

    I am starting today also. I just joined this site, and I can't believe how popular this dvd is, awesome! I am excited to start and hopefully make some friends to motivate each other. I am 147.2, the only measurements I have right now is waist 40 inches and hips 41. I hope to make those numbers go WAY down! I want my weight somewhere around 120-130 depending on muscle gain.

    I will join! Today is day 3 for me. I am sore, but I am going to push through the pain and just do it! I already feel better and like I am on a good path.

    I am 5'7" and 154lbs currently. I am trying to at least lose 10lbs with the shred if not more. I want to be more toned as well.

    I would love the motivation so I can stick with it.

    I won't join b/c I have done it twice and just don't get a sweat from it anymore but I wish you all luck and am a little jealous!
    I LOVE JM and the shred. I owe this 62 lb loss all to her and her dvds (and me of course lol).
    I highly rec the shred to build endurance etc. I did it in the 30 days, dropped around 10lbs and loads of inches, but more than that I was so much stronger and able to take on harder routines by the end of it. GL!
