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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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:

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
