Alright I read an earlier post back in 2011 about doing the 30 day shred with before and after pictures. Really motivating to see! I want to start doing the 30 days this week and wondering if any one else wants to join me? I just started myfitnesspal and would love to meet some people to help keep me motivated and I them!
I am 27yrs old, female, student, and want to lose around 10-15lbs as well as become very toned. Let me know!

I am starting this DVD tomorrow and would love some company. I did this once before with a group of MFP'ers and it really helped keep me motivated. Feel free to add me!0

I just started it today, there's a group I just joined also that just strted it as well!0

I started it two days ago, thought I was going to die the first day and the second was tons easier. I don't know if its because I knew what to expect or what. It definitely gets you sweating and burning calories. I'm pumped for day 3, can't wait to see results.0

mine just arrived this morning! & im starting tomorrow as ive worn myself out already today (wrong attitude? maybe but oh well!)
im looking forward to us all doing it together
im a twenty year old student, 5ft 8 & 77.2kg (approx 12 stone 2) which makes me just enter into the overweight catagory of bmis, ive never been big or little but now i can see myself heading that way and want to reverse it as soon as possible... so bring it on Jillian!
good luck everyone!0 -
Hi! I started the 30 Day Shred on Saturday, so I have completed 5 days of it now and am slightly ahead of you, which means I can give one very important tip . . . do NOT skip a day, regardless of how sore you become!
I am a 25 yr old female, 5' 5" looking to lose only about 10 lbs (belly fat) and tone up. I made it through day 1 pretty well, but on day 2 and then day 3 I was miserably sore. Hobbling around because my calves were horribly painful. I read a lot about whether to keep going or to skip a day and let my muscles heal. Some people said it's dangerous to continue, but I knew I wasn't injured, just miserably sore. So I decided to push through it. I couldn't do everything (all the jump rope and butt kicks) because it hurt when I landed, but I kept moving and pushed myself. Yesterday (day 5) I was determined to push as hard as I could and I did the entire workout no stopping and my legs finally started feeling better. Just keep going and you'll naturally work the soreness out.
I am considering adding in more cardio for my second week of this since, while I do feel that the 30 Day Shred alone is doing something, I am really focused on burning fat also. So I will probably start running or some other form of cardio maybe 30 min – 60 min in the mornings (I do the 30 Day Shred at night after work) just to amp things up.
I am also combining this with a modified diet, cutting out as many carbs as possible (chips, bread, pasta, rice, cereal, etc), filling in those gaps with fruits/veggies, and using the wonderful MyFitnessPal to help keep track of my calories. I am pretty hungry most of the time now, but it's worth it.

I was debating buying the DVD. I would like to do this with you all! You should start a group so we can all post our updates, thoughts ect on the 30DS.
I will buy it this weekend, and start it Monday!0 -
I will stay in touch here, I started it 8 days ago but would love to see what others think about it along the way. I will move to level 2 on Sunday the 19th.
:=( I didn't buy it, its on Youtube...all three levels. :-)0 -

I just started yesterday!!!! I would love someone to do it with!!! ...I'll add you now :happy:0 -
I will do it with you I've done it once already, but that about 2 months ago... I don't mind doing it again, cause I really did see the difference, and not only me :happy: 0

I have a love hate relationship with the 30 day shred. I try to fit it into my routine at least 3 times a week, if possible. For some reason, I start it one week and then stop. Start it over again and stop once again. Like I said, it's a love/hate relationship. I am currently on level 2.
I will say this though. Jillian Michaels will torture you for 20 minutes but you will have a big smile on your face once it's over.
Good Luck and feel free to add me if you need some encouragement.0 -
I'm on day four and very motivated! I'm here for you!0
-
I am picking it up this afternoon to start on Saturday, feel free to add me! Would love the encouragement0

I just bought it. Am I understanding right that you do each level for so many days? Or is there one for each day. I did the first one today and it looked like there were only three. This was every exercise I hated in gym class way, way back in high school. I am vowing to stick with it and my boxing and eventually start couch to 5k.0

Hey there. I started it last week and am currently on Level 1 Day 9. I'm loving it thusfar and have lost about 2 pounds since starting it. Can't wait to see my final results but I know it is working. There are a couple 30 day shred groups I am in..you should join them. Feel free to add me if you like .:)0

Just logged on here to post about this as well Was planning to start. My question is does this count as cardio or strength training? I really am not a fan of strength training but LOVE cardio. If this counts as strength training and will tone my arms & legs I am happy to join in but I don;t want to use it as cardio because I LOVE running! Anyone know what the expected results are?0
-
I am on level 1 and it's made up of 3 circuits (cardio, strength, and abs). You do each circuit then repeat with new exercises. There's not enough cardio in it to replace running I don't feel. In fact, I am planning on adding cardio because I don't feel I am getting enough with 30DS alone.0
-
Just finished Day 1! Shouldl we form a group to hold each other accountable and share successes?0
-
I started it on Monday. Would love some friends to shred with! I only have a few lbs left to lose and a lot of defining to do!0
-
Hey all!
I started this yesterday im on day 2 today and boy am i feeling it. Id love some shredding buds Im going to add in her 6 weeks to six-pack after the first level of the shred 0 -
I was going to start it yesterday but the heat here in California got to me but I didn't feel bad because I did her killer buns and thighs video that day already. Going to start today and I would love any who wants support to add me and also so we could keep track of our progress 0

Congratulations on starting! I just finished the shred. I took 3 days off and had a few cheat days with my diet. I really wish I had incorporated more cardio like Jillian suggests, but I still lost 7 lbs and quite a few inches! I'm down 1 pants size. I agree, don't skip a day. When you go back to it, you will regret it. Good luck to you!0

I just watched it on YouTube and am going to start it tomorrow - do you do level one everyday for 30 days or are there different workouts?0

I don't post much, and don't consistently have time to read all the posts either, so can't really commit.... But am committed to MFP which is the point. I started out well, and then plateaued....for over a month (being semi-good food-wise). I read about Jillian Michaels 30 day shred on one of these posts as well and thought it might be a good kick to the plateau....tried it on youtube before holidays and then bought the dvd (was only $10) and restarted after holidays (only 3 pounds up at the all-inclusive)(now gone after 10 days) so went back to Level I.
I have had to modify a bit as I can't jump around due to old injuries (I use ex. bike instead). I like that it's only 20 minutes, very efficient on busy days. When I have more time I also walk the dog. Got a heart rate monitor as well to keep me honest/get some feedback. My husband is doing P90X, there's no way I could do it (would cost a fortune in physiotherapy bills) so I'm doing it, liking it, pushing when I can...on the verge of Level II....hard to modify and still push.
Good to hear so many people are liking it....how many are actually getting through it all??
Plateau is not yet broken....but not going up so that's good!0 -
I also just started it two days ago and YEAH the second day is definitely easier than the first!! She kicks your butt that's for sure. I can't wait for day 30!0

There are 3 levels, 10 days each, progressively more intense, each 20 minutes broken down into:
- warm up
- 3 minute cycle of strengthening: alternating a pure strength move with compound (arm & leg) activity
- 2 minutes of steady cardio: usually two moves alternating for 30 seconds
- 1 minute of ab's
Repeat that 3 times
- cool down
She mixes it up so there's variety but enough to get familiar with the exercise so you can focus on what you are doing rather than staring at the screen. Also when it switches so frequently if you are in hell you know it won't last long!
You can preview it on youtube or purchase it pretty cheaply0 -
I'm on Level 1 Day 3! I was so sore on Day 2 but I pushed through and I can get through the workout much easier. It's awesome! I'm new to the site, if anyone wants to keep each other motivated just add me :]0
-
I came across it on youtube, and saved it. I currently spend at least an hour and a half at the gym doing the same excersizes, I need to swich it up a bit and do more for my abs. This is probably the best way.0

Just wanted to say good luck! I plan on doing the 30DS to tone up, postpartum. 31 weeks pregnant, so it'll be awhile yet. 0
