**Update: Giveaway closed.  Stay tuned for announcement of winners!**

I have a confession to make.  I’ve been slacking off in the exercise department.  Since dropping two pant sizes on Wii Fit, I’ve kept it down, but I’ve also put back some weight on in the belly, hips and arm departments.  So I’m joining up with seven other bloggers to do the Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred Challenge.  The Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred is $8.49 on Amazon, and has 4 1/2 stars with over 2,000 reviews!  You can get 2-day shipping for free with Amazon Mom (free for three months), and get the video in time to start the challenge with me!

Starting Monday I’ll be working my tail off with my blogging friends, and hopefully you as well, and have the soreness to show for it.  Want to join us?  Here are the fabulous bloggers that are participating.

Each week on Friday, starting this week, I’ll put a linky up so that you can share your progress and your intro posts if you are a blogger. You can also just leave a comment and share your progress. I’ll be snapping a photo of myself every day and posting it to Flickr so that you can see how I change over a month.  There, I’ve said it.  Now I can’t back out because I’m accountable to every single one of you (trying not to panic).

Keep up with all the chatter on Twitter with hashtag #30dayshred, and you can follow me on Facebook as I will post my daily photos from Flickr on there.

For fun, I’m personally giving away four copies of the 30 Day Shred Video to four lucky winners! Here’s how to enter:
