For the entire month of March, I (along with my faithful shredheads) have decided to do the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred*.
Along with exciting, breathtaking, nailbiting news of my daily shreds (with pics! of shredding! or deathaftershredding!), I'll feature my fellow shredheads and their shredding adventures. And I hope this will provide a little support for those of us who have decided to take on Jillian Michaels.
If you'd like to join us, leave a comment with your "code name," blog url, and twitter handle, and make sure to email your first post, which should include the following:
a) Before pictures (optional but always nice)
b) Tag Line
c) Weight
d) Goal
e) Diet Plan
f) Personal Rules (not eating carbs, only drinking water)
g) Shred Plan (how often, what level, etc.)
[Okay, so you don't need to do all of that, but you get the idea!]
Check the sidebar for links to the 30 Day Shred DVD, along with the supplies that you'll need. Apparently, you can find the "dvd" on Comcast On Demand. Sorry, they don't sell cranes or muscle relaxers on Amazon.
*If you are a current or former Shredder, feel free to join in the fun. And if you can't start tomorrow, who cares! Join whenever.



I'm in...But I just ordered the dvd from Amazon...I'll be a few days behind...

I'm in, and I just ordered the DVD. I read the reviews on Amazon.
I'm scared!
Hold me.
(Oh, that's right. You wouldn't be able to get your arms around me.)

Actually, I have a post mostly written already. Because? I have lofty ideas like weeks ago. And never do them.
Thank you for the push.

*plugs nose, jumps in pool*
Am taking the plunge! First post is e-mailed.

I'm jumping into the pool. I'll do everything besides post my weight (otherwise I won't be shredding but crying in the fetal position in the back of my closet for 30 days.)

Okay, I am definately in. I just order the dvd on amazon, so can't start till Monday officially. I weigh 153 (every other day 154) and have gained 10 pounds over the winter. My goal is to be 140 which was what I was when I got pregant for the first time (10 years ago). As for diet, am trying to eat as much protein as possible, no carbs other than veggies and fruit...usually I can keep this up till about 8 pm and then the cookies call my name and it's over, so for me going a week without a cookie will be the first milestone :).
Thanks for starting this, very inspiring.
