Last year I had started off strong with losing weight, until 2 emergency surgeries set me back. Excited to get back on track, anyone out there tried the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels? I made it the first 2 weeks then had my surgeries. Look forward to hearing from you!:happy:

Thats awesome! Its a great program..a little nervous to get back into it. lol0
-
It worked for the first 2 weeks I did it..I am ready to get back into it. Jillian is a machine! lol0

I started it last summer. I got through phase 1, then left on vacation and never went back. I'm going to start it again, tomorrow. I LOVE IT! The first few days are hard for me, but then I get into the routine and I really like it. I didn't see any big weight loss, but after those 10 days, I felt stronger.0

I started it last week. Absolutely love it. But then I need something to kick my butt into gear and she gives no grace Her phrase: "You gotta fight for it" keeps going around and around in my mind. I had emergency back surgery in June - so I understand it's tough getting back into a routine. Good luck!0

Starting it tonight! Can't wait!0

i did it, completed it, and loved it! lost 12lbs!0

Yes I love it! I did it for the 30 days in August this past summer. I lost 6 lbs and 10 inches. I did Ripped in 30 in September and had similar results. I have since bought 4 more of her DVDs and rotate them 4-5 days a week along with 2 ballet classes per week and P90X every now and then. I've lost 25lbs and many inches! Jillian is the best!0

Add me if you need some motivation to keep going once you start it!0 -
I started today. Finished the first day of level 1 an hour ago. It was hard, but I managed to complete the workout. I'm kinda proud of myself. I hope to be able to keep it up for those 30 days!0
-
I will be doing Day 3 of Level 2 tonight. Am I sore? Absolutely. Do I like it? No. Does it work? YES! Will I continue? Without a doubt as it's well worth the pain.
It will kick your *kitten* ... but it will do what is needed if you stick with it.0 -
I did it about 3 mths ago, my 2 daughters challenged me to do it, they quit one after level 1 and the other mid way between level 2 , I finished it....YEAH me.....I loved it . I only lost a few lbs doing it but i did lose some inches and felt much stronger and I felt good about sticking to an exercise routine. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good workout0

I haven't done it and I am totally sedentary with some back issues. So, I did some online research and found a Jillian Michaels For Begginers. I think I'm going to get it and try it out.0

Did day 13 today. Loving it but looking forward to a rest day tomorrow. I've put on about a pound since starting but have lost cms and my legs are looking much more defined. My endurance and recovery times have also improved rapidly.0

I've read a lot about it, but have no direct experience. From what I have read, I have decided it's not for me. Here's the "reader's digest" version -
Lots of people have had tremendous amounts of success on the program, losing lots of weight, and going on to great success in other more advanced programs.
A small, but seemingly statistically relevant, number of people have had horrific problems, from serious knee injuries to back injuries. It seems Ms. Michaels moves very quickly between each move, and that while she espouses proper form, leaves little time to actually achieve it. Perhaps if she were in your living room and able to correct your form quickly, this would be ok. But she's not, and there is no feedback loop to keep you on course.
Of course, this is the same risk as any unguided workout, but the combination of high speed, high intensity, and bad form seems a recipe for disaster if you ask me. The fact that I already have knee problems was enough for me to conclude that the risk was too high.0 -
I love most of her videos... in particular the kettle bell video. I had already done 30 day shred and foolishly thought I could do a 5lb kettle bell. Ouch! But my arms look fabulous!0

Yes I have done the 30DS and loved it! I completed last spring. I lost about 7 lbs and several inches all over. It really gave me quite the kickstart to my weightloss and put me the right track to acheive my fitness goals.
I spread it out a little by doing the workouts 5 days week; each level done 10 times. That worked for me because there were days I needed some recovery and by the 10th day I felt ready to move onto the next level. Since it was such a short workout (amazed by what JM packs in during that time!), I also worked in some extra cardio 3 days week. Jogging or brisk walking.
Good luck to you!! Glad you are healthy and ready to get back into an exercixse routine!0 -
I've never got through Level 1 before but I didn't really plan on doing it consistently. I wanted to do it this month all the way through but I couldn't find my copy so I'm doing Ripped in 30 instead. I loove her workouts, hopefully I see some results (I'm on day 7 today, so far just feeling stronger but too early to tell if my body is changing visibly).0

I am a huge fan of 30 Day Shred. I did it in September- 10 days straight at each level and lost 10 pounds and 12 inches. I was also trying to eat healhy and I did some running. It's tough, but after a few days of it it becomes easier...until you move up a level, lol. I was so impressed by the results, that I'm doing it again this month. I'm hoping to have similar results again! In Feb. I'm going to do Ripped in 30, which seems even more intense.
I love how fast the videos go. The way it's set up with the 2min-2min-1min...time just flies!0 -
I've noticed lots of people on here are 30 day shredders....you should have no trouble getting support....if not the shred...just get focused and you can do it.0
-
You can do it Melinda!! I bet it can help with stress relief from the day and be a bit fun at that!0

I'm a Jillian Michaels fanatic! 30 day shred really does work, there are all kinds of result posts out there. I lost significant inches with it. Just don't get too discouraged if the scale number doesn't dramatically decrease. I hardly lost any lbs in the first 2 weeks but I felt stronger, looked leaner and noticed significant differences on my problem areas. Stick with the measuring tape to track your progress. Feel free to add me!0
-
I am ready to start it back up...I will keep a post of my progress..keep it up everyone!0
-
Wow! Way to go! I was proud of making it the first week..lol0
-
I will be doing Day 3, Level 1 tonight. The first 2 days kicked my butt, but I felt awesome for making it through. So far, I am a fan!0

Well, for all of you skeptics out there (like I was), I have been angry because, on day 6 of Level 2 (which I just completed yesterday), I hadn't had *ANY* weight loss. I thought ... geez ... why am I doing this again???? Then I took out the tape measure ... and I've lost already 2 inches in my arms and 4 1/2 inches in my waist. So yeah ... while Jillian Michaels' workouts are from the Devil ... they *DO* get results. I've also noticed that pesky back fat that irritates the snot outta me going *WAY* down. Keep it up, all you faithful MFP people out there that are abusing their bodies like I am with 30 Day Shred! it *DOES* work!0
