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!

Also, i had no weight so i used food tins and still got pretty good results!

I just ordered the DVD myself and am aiming to start it mid-March or the 1st of April. Feel free to add me and we can do it together~

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 am doing the shred at the moment im up to day 20. i have had great results unfortunately i didnt measure myself on day 1 im dissappointed i didnt. I have combined the shred with 1 hr cardio 4 days a week and have done it most days in a row. good luck stick at it . i use 5lb weights and believe me they feel like half a tonne after a while. feel free to add me if you like.

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 know with this work out she wants you to follow her diet plan, But i was wondering i am only eating 1200 calories a day. Has anyone tried it and had good results with out her eating plan??

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).

Forgot to say I used 3 pound and 5 pound dumbbells depending on the exercise, and I didnt follow her diet plan, I just counted my cals on MFP

I am doing it now, and I also do this. I started out using just the 3lb weights, but while a few of the moves are hard with just those (the squat with overhead arm movements, and the side squat raising arms to shoulder height), on some moves that was too easy (side lunge with bicep curl) so for those I use the 5lb.
