    Level 1, day 2 just completed. Got annoyed as someone came to the door while I was half way through, so I had to stop and answer it, but continued back into it straight after.

    Day 1 Level 1.... When I finished I felt like rubber. This evening I feel good.... Looking forward to the next 29 days (I think)! Actually looking forward to the results!

    Just finished Day 5 of Level 1. Still get the wobbly-leg feeling when I finish, and I still feel like I'm dying half way through, but I can definitely feel myself getting stronger! I can't wait to see the results from finishing the whole program!

    I've just finished Day 2 of Level 1. It's great to hear that so many of you are noticing a change in your bodies after just a week or so! Great motivation for me :) I can't wait to see the difference after a month!

    Just finished day 6 level 2, talk about killer on the shoulders & arms. I'm still not making it all the way through without a break & i cant use my weights all the way through but I am looking foward to the changes. I took pics & measurements when I started & will recheck when my 30 days are up.

    There are so many shred groups on here, luv it. I finish Wk 1 tomorrow! Kind of dreading wk 2 as I have done this dvd before. But it does produce results. Going to weigh, measure, maybe pics again on Saturday. Doing couch to 5k every second day as well. Keep going everyone!

    I just started level 3 yesterday. It was INTENSE! I started doing it everyday but my knees were getting sore. I switched to a couple days on and a day off. I just do cardio on rest days. Everyday was too much for me but just listen to your body. I can really see results, especially in my ab area...I'm starting to see them! My husband says he can see more definition in my arms too.

    I just started that about 2 weeks ago. The first time was a killer. It took me 3 days to do it again. There was absolutely no way I was able to do it 2 days in a row. Now I do it every other day and do cardio in between. I don't like to do strength training when I am already sore, it feels like I am going injure myself and I can not afford a setback.

    Try every other day, or 4-5 days a week, and alternate workouts, don't do 10 days of workout 1, 10 days of workout 2 etc. It gets too boring! I alternate the 30 DS and Ripped in 30 workouts with running, classes at the gym, and occasional weight workouts.

    I modify some of the jumps in workout 3, the rock star and jumping lunge or something, too much on the knees. I usually do one of her other cardio exercises.

    I'm on Day 5 Level 3..It's awesome..I swear level 3 is easier than level 2..I couldn't stand level 2! But my abs are becoming visible,I feel so much better..and not to mention stronger.I got this far with 3 lb weights..I'm thinking about going round 2 with it ..with 5lb weights.What do you guys recommend? Re-do it? Does she have another great DVD?

    I am on Day 22 of Level 3 and believe me it doesn't get an easier. Jillian pushed you to breaking point but the results you can feel them and see them. I've lost more inches than weight on the scales.

    Yesterday I started day one of level two, omgawsh! I have been walking around sore all over but it feels good! My arms are stronger! I took the day off for an hour of water aerobics which I normally do every Friday, I could feel my abs with every movement!

    Today was my first day at Level 2. I have done this for 11 straight days. Level 1 really started to hurt my knees so I was happy to get to the next level.

    Level 2 is definitely more difficult, but I survived. Lots of moves in the plank position so I am sure my shoulders will hurt tomorrow. This level seems easier on the knees.

    Haven't lost any weight ( maybe a pound or two) but the change in my body after only 11 days is noticeable. I am fitting into pants that I couldn't wear two weeks ago. My 10's were starting to get tight. I tried on jeans at two different stores on Saturday and was able to fit into size 6 jeans. Now, I am sure that they were vanity sized, but still....made me feel great and gave me even more motivation to see this through to the end!

    Those of you just starting it...stay with it. It definitely works!!!

    I'm happy to hear level two is more ab work. I'm on day four level one and all the upper body work kills me. I'm hoping to gain more upper body strength for this though!

    I did day 2 of level 2. I also was like you and thought I would be doing level 1 for thirty days but decided after 10 that I wanted to move on to work some different muscles.... The only problem I am having is a bad right knee but I am not letting that stop me. I have to modify the jumping jacks and jump ropes because of my knee but stay constantly moving and I can do everything else.. so I am going to continue doing Jillians Shred to the end :) I am really enjoying seeing myself get stronger and stronger. The first day I could barely do a few push ups from my knees! Now I can do the walking push-ups :) and I am fitting in a size smaller jeans. I have also been working out at the gym in addition to Jillians Shred.

    I've been working on Level 1 for the past month just for the simple fact that I'm afraid to move on to level 2. On Christmas day I tried Level 2 and I was zapped of energy for the rest of the day! I'll probably start level two tomorrow and let you all know how it goes. Wish me luck.

    I've done level one every other day for a few days now (trying to work my way up to doing it every day) but I'm concerned because my knees get very sore after each time. Any suggestions?

    I finished Level 2 Day 3 today. I'm really enjoying it so far. My biggest challenge is my bum right shoulder. I generally use 5lb weights but for some of the shoulder exercises I switch to 3 pounds and the V raise just kills me so I do as many as I can with 3lb weights and then switch to no weights, until I can get that shoulder back to normal.

    I work 12 hour shifts, so I try to get up early and get it in before work. If I don't, I don't get too excited about it I just make more of an effort to do it the next day. I do it every day on my days off.

    When I was out today I found a 3 of her other videos for $6 so I picked them up. I don't know anything about them, but figured I need to do something when this is over.

    Thanks for posting this. That thread is what inspired me to start the 30DS, and I am one day away from starting Level 3.

    finished level 1 day 6 today! it was much easier as far as i could tell. then only modifications i *purposefully* did was i had to take a break on the first set of jump ropes because they were KILLING my knees, and i skipped a few arm raises on the side lunges. cant wait to see how easy day 10 is. you all are making me nervous about level 2 though lol
