    I just started today. I was surprised that I was able to make it though the whole workout, it was tough. I'm sure I will be feeling it tomorrow. This was the first time I've done a real workout....so far all I've been doing is walking (2 miles/day). My legs aren't sore, but I can tell that I probably won't be able to move my arms when I wake up in the morning.

    I used 3lb weights and will probably continue with them until level 2.

    I finished it today, lost 10 pounds and 7.5" total off my hips, waist, thighs and chest

    Well worth doing :)

    I completely agree that you should take before pics and measurements too

    I finished a few weeks ago, and saw some results, however, I eat low calories as well as add an hour of cardio (running/elliptical). So, the results are not only 30DS results. I do love it, but was glad t be done and move on to another JM video.

    It will give you stamina and prepare you for more intense routines.


    I hope this is the case for me! I plan on starting P90X again after I get done.

    I did it last month in January for 24 days (8 days each level) with no additional exercise, just the shred each day using 5 lb weights and a diet of 1300-1400 cals. I lost 9 lbs in those 24 days as well as inches and gained muscle definition :) it's an amazing workout! Just be sure to stick with it even when you want to give up (especially during level 2 which I found to be the hardest of all 3).. it's so worth it in the end! Good luck! :)

    I did it last year and really enjoyed. Some of it is tough but the workout is short so you can get through it. i really liked the fact it was a shirt workout but i still got a high heart rate and achy muscles, i felt like i was doing something! I didn't do it in 30 days, i had a coupel days off occasionally and did walking or swimming when my muscles were achy. I lost weight maybe slightly faster but nothing too noticable but my sister was impressed as she thought my legs were much more toned (and i have thunder thighs!) and i felt stronger and had more definition. I've lost the dvd (boo!) but am thinking about buying it again when i have some spare cash as i think it is a good workout for those with little time.

    Hope that helped!

    I have never done it for 30 days in a row but always do it 4 or 5 times a week, sometimes just level one if im having a lazy day and dont want to workout.

    I think if you have the drive to stick to it for 30 days and follow a healthy diet you are definately going to see results. It wont dissapoint you. Ripped in 30 and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism are also great Jillian workouts!

    Good Luck :)

    i just finished the shred yesterday, doing 30 days straight. i did a couple days with leslie sansone, but not many, but in the 30 days i lost 7 pounds and 15" inches from all over. (I measured bust, under bust, waist, hips, butt, and both thighs and arms). I had to modify some of the moves too, but i'm really happy with the results combined with my eating habits! I hope you like it too!

    I didn't even look at her eating plan and stuck with level 1 for 4 weeks before moving to level 2. I logged everything I ate on MFP, limited to 1200 calories a day like you, and had great results. Bonus? My butt has NEVER looked as good as it did when I was doing this workout!

    Today was Day 1 of Level 3. I'm pretty sure at this point that Jillian hates me.

    I LOVED Level 2!!

    Level 3 is going to be the death of me. I swear. My knees and ankles cannot take the impact of all the jumping exercises. And for the life of me, I am just not coordinated enough to do the "Rock Star" jump. :(

    I'm not giving up -- I've come too far, but there has to be some kind of comparable exercise I can substitute for all the jumping. Right? Please? any suggestions?

    Tomorrow is another day and I will again attempt to jump along with her supermodel assistants, but I'm really feeling bummed after today's workout. :(

    P.S. I've lost 2 inches off my waist, 1.5 off my hips, and 1.5 off my lower belly (below the belly button).
