in Motivation and Support
I just ordered 30 Day Shred and I need some motivation. :bigsmile:
The best motivation for me is always hearing of other peoples
success with a program.

So......
How much weight did you lose?
How long did it take to see results?

    It's great! The first few days you will hate it but it quickly becomes fun. I'm currently doing my second round of it (this year); only lost 2lbs the first time but lost 10 inches over all. Here's my day 1/day 14 photo.

    This second time around is going even better; probably because I'm being much more careful with what I eat. Results are visible within the first week, but you will notice a big change going in to level 2. Have lost 4lbs so far, and I start level 2 today!

    You can do it! Give it your all and you will indeed be shredded in no time!

    Your inspiration should be the great feeling of having dedicated yourself and completed something that will make you stronger. Hopefully you will lose some inches along with it, but the pride of having done it will be the best gift :)

    kissmisskate - you look fabulous!

    Im not exactly sure how much I lost from just the 30 day shred..but the inches came off quickly doing it! I started at size 24 almost 26 and I am now a 14! And I started it shortly after I started my journey to losing weight. I think its a awesome 20 minute workout! Not always easy but definatly effective! Feel free to add me ;)

    I still have 2 days left but I've lost about 9 pounds and lots of inches doing it! I started off at 156 and still wearing a size 12 in jeans (they were loose but the size 10 was still way too tight). Within the first week I could fit comfortably in the 10. By the time I hit level 3 I had to buy size 8s. I lost the most weight around my waist (3" off my natural waist, 2" off my lower waist) and hips (2" off those). Plus a little bit off my bust, arms & thighs. I'm at 147 now. My strength, flexibility and endurance improved a ton too. I'm moving on to Ripped in 30 after this and excited to see changes with that! I'll be posting some before & afters when I finish but I'm pleased with the results so far. I'd lost around 14 pounds before starting the Shred but didn't notice a huge difference in my body (stayed in the same size), starting and doing the Shred totally blasted away inches and sizes. It's awesome!

    You can also find it on YouTube if you want to get a head start. When you are ready to start, check out the Groups section of MFP. There are several support groups for 30 Day Shred where you can check in every day with others just to say "I did it x days in a row now!" and you can also track weight and measurements with others.

    Don't feel you can't take a rest day, especially when you first get going.

    Be VERY careful of your knees! The exercises are basically old school calisthenics - push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, squats, lunges, etc. They are very effective but it is up to you to protect your body. I am on Day 5 and I still do the side lunges very slowly and carefully in front of a mirror. Lunges and squats, if not done right, can seriously mess you up. Don't worry about the famous person yelling at you, take care of yourself.

    I also added a few minutes of additional stretching before and after because I fnd the warm-up too short.

    That said, go for it! It is amazing how much of a workout it is, and it doesn't take too many days before you are saying, "Really, it is done for the day already? That went fast."

    You can really only lose 20lbs in 30 days if you are on the heavier side. However, it definitely tones your body. Not only that, but it gives you agility you didn't have before. I was never able to run before but after 10 days, I was able to run for 20 minutes. I was on the treadmill and thought "I'll just run until I'm tired." 20 min later, I was shocked. Definitely worth every 20 minutes of struggle and hard work.

    I've finished my day 11, level 1 today. I start level 2 Monday. The first day, my legs were like rubber as I was overconfident in my squats, getting as low as Natalie when I should have started with Anita. I'm much better now and can go low with Natalie again.
    After about the first 4-5 days I could feel my abs pulling higher and naturally contracting. My waist is where I think I have seen the most change.

    Definitely find support and friends that are starting out at the same time, the daily updates will keep you motivated.

    I did 30 Day Shred back when I started this weight loss journey. In fact, it is the first exercise program I did...and I did it religiously for 30 days. I did 9 days of each level, with 1 day off in between each. I measured myself the day I started, and then again the day after I finished the program. My final results were: Weight, -10lbs. Waist, -3.5 in. Hips, -2 in. Chest, -2.5 in. Bicep, no change. Neck, -1/4 in.

    The program really does kick your *kitten*, and you have to do it everyday. I noticed that the firsts 2 days of each level were killer, but on day 3 it was like a miracle happened, and I suddenly felt like nothing could stop me. I still pull out the DVD and do some random workouts to change things up. Jillian really knows her stuff. She may be annoying as all get out...but she knows her stuff.

    A year and a half later, I've hit my goal (6 months ago), and have moved on to different workouts, but I will always say the 30 Day Shred is a fantastic workout for someone who wants to get started with a good program and lose weight.

    Just remember to take your measurements before you start because you may not notice a huge difference on the scale....but the tape measure doesn't lie.

    NOTE: I wish I had taken my thigh measurement from the start but I didnt start tracking that until later.

    I second the watching your knees. I had to stop the Shred on day 5 because I threw my knees out. I went to an osteopath and my legs were badly out of alignment and he said to not be going that hard at it (for me). I felt pain doing the exercise but pushed past it because you hear Jillian say she has 400lb women that can do jumping jacks so I thought surely me at 170lbs can do this. Nope. Listen to your body.

    That being said while I didn't lose weight by day 5, I had lost almost 2" on my hips which I thought was really impressive which makes me even sadder that I have to give up the Shred for now because I pushed myself too hard for my current strength level. I will try it again soon though. I love it (hate it while I'm doing it) but love it when I'm done.

    I'm on a rest day today, but i start up with level 3 tomorrow. I guess my body is difficult because I haven't lost any weight, but I HAVE lost one inch from both my upper (natural) waist and my lower (belly button) waist. Please don't let this get you down..I'm not finished yet and everyone is different! I WILL post my before/afters on this site when I'm done, no matter if there is a big difference to me or not.

    As for knees - my right knee went out on me near the end of level 1. I gave it a rest for a few days and I picked back up doing the lowest impact on level 2 (aka the beginner moves), by the end of the level I was doing all the high impact moves and my knee felt much better. Be conscious of it and listen to your body.

    Good luck!

    I am on day 17 and I am nothing but pleased. I do have to admit that I have not gone down any pant sizes, but I am down from a 3x to a 1x in tops. Of course, I always lose weight in my upper body first, including my boobs :P. I have all my measurements down on My profile page from the past few weeks. I do also have to say that it might be coming off more gradual because I am not doing it every day. Jillian said that she intended it to be done 2 days on, one day cardio, two days on, one day cardio, one day rest and then repeat. I find that this is the only thing that has saved my knees and I still even had to get a shot in the right one for tendonitis at the beginning of level 2. Feel free to add me.

    Thank you guys for all your awesome posts!!! I do have a hip issue so I will be doing power lunges instead of the jumping jacks, that should save me knee worries as well :)
