30 day shred

Shelbert79

I lost 11inches total and 6lbs, my pics are on my profile. I loved it!

Y'all, I'm so frustrated. Prior to 30DS I was doing JM's kettle bell / Shred it With Weights dvd. I also would incorportate cardio via the treadmill and or bike.

I haven't lost any weight since last November although I have gone down a clothing size since then.

I see you all talking about weight you've lost with the 30DS.

My calories are 1200 per day and I workout every day. I have actually GAINED 5 lbs since doing her dvd's. It's freaking me out. My doc and everyone else says it's probably muscle. BUT seeing you all losing doesn't help with that diagnosis.

I keep working out despite my frustrations, but gosh it's getting harder and harder to stay positive.

How much weight do you have to lose? Are you eating enough? 1200 is too low for most people.

I have @ 30lbs more to lose. I've lost 50 in the last year, mostly due to Atkins/low carbs. I had my calories set at 1520 but I wasn't losing there either. I just decreased to 1200 @ a week ago.
I was 196 lbs in November. I'm currently fluctuating between 203 and 205. I'm 5'8".

I start level 2 tomorrow (I just finished day 10) and I've lost 3 pounds, so far.

MFP told me to eat 1200 calories too. But, when you workout- remember to eat more calories. I have also not lost any weight since I started my plan and it is indeed frustrating. My hubby has lost 4 pounds already. It is probably due to muscle.. I have barely any so I've got to build some and well, muscle weighs more than fat!

Those of you doing 30DS, are you incorportaing any other exercises in addition to this dvd?

I usually do 30DS and another one of her workouts (or another short workout)

Figure out your BMR and TDEE. Eat 15 - 20% below your TDEE, making sure that you do not eat below your BMR.

At 1200 calories, I have to eat back my exercise cals! 1200 is not easy to stick by.
I dont' even know what TDEE is.

I really love 30ds. Jillian is really annoying but I mute the tv and listen to music instead. The workout is intense but it is short and broken up pretty well. I also go to the gym in a addition to this work out though.

I'm on Level 1, Day 6 and I can already tell I've lost inches! I'm trying to stay away from the scale until Level 1 is over. I can also tell a huge difference in my endurance! It gives me so much energy during the day now, I've started adding extra cardio during the day too.

I just finished Day 1 Level1 of the maniacal trainer. I tried it several years ago but moved on to jogging since it was spring and i had to get out. I didn't give it a fair trial. I know i will be sore tomorrow, but it didn't feel as bad as it did the last time I tried to keep up with the beginner. Hope i can stick with it this time. has anyone done it for 30 consecutive days?

I just figured my TDEE (3894) and my BMR (1674). I'm consuming 1200...a little more with exercise cals.

I've been hearing my left knee make some noises during the dvd. I hope I'm not injuring myself.

I heard a lot of good things about it. I purchased it yesterday or so I thought I did but when I got home realized I had purchased 30 Days Ripped by accident.

I am finishing level one tomorrow and am very happy with the workout. it goes by fast! i am already starting to see some slight arm muscles and lower ab definition The last circuit in level one is definitely the toughest for me, but is a great challenge!

Hey,

I'm thinking about getting this. Can't seem to find much actual information about it just people expressing their inch-lost love! (of course i'm probably looking in the wrong places)

What weights do you need? Can you just use heavy books/litres of water or is their a precise weight?
Do you do the workout every day or are you supposed to do it for 30 days consecutively? and is it just one 20ish min workout a day?
I gather there are 3 levels of intensity, how long are you supposed to take on each one ,I'm assuming 10 ?

Thanks in advance!

You can hold a bottle of water in each hand or a can of beans each. There's no specific weight for the dumbells.

I started it 8 days ago for the first time ever and I AM doing it EVERYDAY. I'm planning to do 10 days Level 1, then straight on to Level 2 for 10 days then the final 10 days at Level 3. Some people take a break in-between but as it's only 20 mins (ish), I can press through.

I don't know how long Level 2 and 3 are for. Hoping it's the same 20mins :laugh:

hpsaucette

Awesome, no need to spend money on weights then! thank you for the quick response.

I like to workout a minimum of 45 minutes per day (5-6x a week) so I do level 2 twice. It's a great workout and has me sweating like crazy! Like others I can only do it about once a week because I run and do a boot camp class once per week. I really like how she incorporates all the big muscle groups at once. In boot camp class we generally only focus on one muscle group at a time so Jillian kicked my butt by incorporating legs and arms in one exercise. LOVE IT! I also like her six weeks to six pack. My abs was sore baby! :-) I like that she's not overly professional, she's kind of goofy!
