    i just started it but ive heard really good things! I did day 1 of level 1 yesterday and i am way more sore than i get doing 20min on the elliptical and then lifting so it must be doing something!!
    one tip ive gotten from others about it is to pay attention to how many inches you've lost versus lbs because some people say weight comes off you but a lot say they see just a lot of inches coming off! good luck :)

    love it! I started doing level one on youtube, and loved it so much I bought the season. I never get bored with it, and I find every day I do it, I am a little more capable. Still on level one, but am trying to talk myself into trying level two this week.

    Totally recommend it! I have seen lots of success on it here. I am on level 3 and can tell a big difference in my body. Others may not be able to so much, but I can. I also have way more stamina than I did on the first few days! Good luck!

    I am headed for day 3 on level 1. Not as sore as the last time I tried. I've heard so many good things about the series that I think I will stick with it this time so I can give an honest opinion. Calves are more sore than when I run hills for a couple of miles. Maybe that means it's working muscles I thought I was using while running. OR, I am doing the exercises wrong.

    Finished Day 4 of Level 1 yesterday. Getting easier, but still a killer. Looking now to see what video I want to get for when my 30 days are over!

    I finished it and lost 13inches and 1.4lbs, now i'm doing Ripped in 30, and also have her six week six pack and killer buns and thighs which I LOVE!!! good luck, the first 3 days suck, and after that you're golden. Just stick with it

    this post is pretty ironic. I bought 30 days shred probably 3 years ago tried it once and said No F'n Way! LOL... i recently came across it since Ive moved and have a basement and thought let me give it another while.. Didnt last 5 mins. I have recently rejoined the gym and ecided to get in 30 mins of cardio during the workweek (its a good way to avoid traffic by leaving earlier in the morning and hitting the gym before work). I think in another week or 2 I will pull out my 3DS and see if I can get thru workout 1 - though I did agree the music was BEYOND terrible! thanks for the shout.. I can get my moneys worth... after all these years.

    Love it! I'm wearing clothes I haven't been able to put on in ages. I started April 1 and even with a few days off here and there I have had very noticable changes. Mine are inches not necessarily a large weight loss yet. Be sure to give it a chance. I noticed most changes around day 10+. Good luck!

    Starting it on Monday, but doing it as one day on 30DS, one day cardio (alternating), and one day off a week.
    Doing it this way since there is weighted movement, muscle NEEDS time to recover to grow.
    I don't think this will hinder my progress since Jillian recommends 2 days of 30 DS and one off, one day a week rest in her pod cast (30days- marketing ploy, you still do 30 days, just in a longer time frame).

    I forgot how hard Level 3 is. I haven't made it to Level 4. Tear trickling down cheek.

    I am on day 5 of level 2 and I love it. Haven't done measuring or pictures, but my size 12 jeans I just bought are already loose. I started No More Trouble Zones last night & it was awesome! I'm only doing the 30DS 4 days a week though. I have zumba 2 or 3 days, /walking/jogging every Sunday and usually take one day off.

    Definitely give level 2 a try. I think you will find it a nice change from level one. I actually liked level 2 better. I was afraid at first that it would be so much harder but after you build stamina and core muscles in level one you are much more capable of level 2. I still go back and add level one to my work out if I have extra time.

    It's awesome. I got most of my results in the beginning from that. I lost about 7 pounds but more that 12 inches.

    Keep at it and just go at your own pace. I did it 5 days a week on my lunch break at work and rested on the weekend. Modify what you have to but you will notice your endurance and strength getting better. Also make sure you take pics and measure, because the scale can be very deceiving.

    Good Luck!

    I've done it. Rely on a tape measure not scales. I lost 2lb but quite a few inches. Thinking of doing it again actually :)

    I just finished Level 1 Day 7 yesterday and I love it so far. I would say definitely have someone measure you all over because I think you will be surprised in inches more then weight. I'm not going to know which for sure until I complete the whole 30 days. I still recommend doing your regular workout in addition to this dvd. I did for a few days and a few I haven't and I can definitely tell a difference. I love to run on my treadmill and I feel more winded do her jumping jacks then I do running 10 minutes. Go figure!

    After the 3rd day your muscles aren't nearly as sore and by day 6 I didn't have any problems at all. We shall see when I reach Level 2 I'm sure there will be a whole new level of pain. haha Either way best 10 bucks I ever spent.

    i totally recommend it!!!!! i haven't done it for 30 consecutive days yet, but i got it last december and do it a couple times a week and it has DEFINITELY made me stronger/ boosted my endurance, and i'm sure it has helped with my weight loss too (30 lbs in a few months).

    I did 8 days of level 1, finished my 9th day of level 2 today, with 2 more days to go. Then 11 days of level 3. As of last Friday, 14 days into the program (17 calendar days), I had lost 6 inches and 5.7 lbs. It works! :smile:

    i absolutely loved it... initially yes it was tough... but my biggest hitch is the level 3 .. i am somehow stuck with level 2 ..love it but cannot past it... my body is still not ready for the next one... it looks just impossible.

    How... hard... is No More Trouble Zones? I have that sitting beside my 30 Day Shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. The only one I have tried is the 30 Day Shred which is hard (I need to stop to get a drink since I get dehydrated super easy due to medications) but doable.

    I really do like 30 Day Shred. I can tell it gets my heart rate up and really works the muscles and core. I am sore (in a good way) and out of breathe (also in a good way) when I am finished. I yell and swear a lot though!

    I also am one who does not do it daily. I do it every other day and also work in my pilates and yoga.
