selflove916

Hi Ladies,

I am a 24 year old, single mother of an amazing little boy
For me overeating and NOT working out become very easy specially after becoming a single mother, stress... stress... stress.
I am excited to finally say i grew the courage to start working out!
I will be starting Jillian M. 30Day Shred tonight & will also commit myself to log all my food on here.
I am happy i made this choice and looking forward to the changes.

Can any ladies out there please share with me their before & after pictures success and also written stories if no pictures.
I need more encouragement!
And i am sure seeing all this stories will help me push through all the B.S.

Thanks Ladies & I wish you all the best in LIFE

I'm starting 30DS in a week and a half! I'm so excited to get going on it, but I have a 5K coming up, and I don't want to be miserably sore through it... Anyway, although she usually annoys the crap out of me, I hear that Jillian gives an amazing kickstart to any weight loss journey. Good for you for deciding to make a change-- for yourself, AND for your son! Let us know how it goes!!

I've just done day 8. I can already feel and see results - lost 1lb last week. Not re-took photos or measurements but a pair of trousers I wear regularly are now baggier! I will post my results at the end of the 30 days, hopefully.

I actually posted about this earlier about several questions. I put on a pair of jeans that were tight and they are a little looser. im on the 2nd part and it is exhausting. 10 days on this level might not be enough. we will see. i am not sure what i looked like before, but i have a little bit of an hourglass figure going on now. i will see in 20 more days. great luck to you and keep at it. the first one was a great starter and working out almost every day it still was a great workout.

Does anyone know what weights work best for the 30DS? I saw a little clip of Jillian, and I noticed that she was using what looked like 2 lb weights. I have 5 lb weights at home and I'm wondering if that will that be too difficult. Should I go out and buy smaller weights, or do you think 5 lbs would work?

I used food tins and it did the same trick was like 400g for each, and saved on buying weights.

you can go to walmart and get a set. i use one now, and when i get stronger ill use 2 and then 5. i think you work your way up, but if you havent done much with your arms, start at 1.

Hi! I did 3 rounds of 30 day shred. I seriously owe a lot of my weight loss to that DVD! I would not be where I am at today without it. I love that DVD. That workout is what gave me what shape I have now...I was just a big round blob before I am 6 days away from my first round of her ripped in 30 workout. Feel free to add me.

I have 3 lb and just bought a set of 5 lb for when I'm ready to move up. The 3 lb seems to be a good starting weight. If you feel like they are too heavy after doing the first day, you can always just use two soup cans until you build up enough strength

I just ordered 30DS. I have been completely lost on this weight loss thing. I am 26, 167 lbs 5'5" and eat around 1500/day. I go to the gym with a friend 3x a week and use a hrm and average 300-450 burn in 45mins. I usually eat back exercise calories even though it does not make sense to me. If I do 30DS should I eat back the exercise calories? It seems I shouldn't since it's more of a burn. I need help and friends!

I did Jillian Michaels Body revolution program and it was amazing.
Take a look at my before and almost after photos on my page. Its a group of 4- my beginning photo-after one round of JIllian michaels body rev (3 months) then the 3 photo is after my second round - last photo is after 2 months of insanity; I am back and doing round 3 of Body Rev. and can't wait to see the results she is AMAZING. You can't go wrong with JIllian. Body revolution is a little $ but worth every penny, and its just a half hour a day so definitely something ANYONE can stick with! Her Ripped in 30 is also good I like it a little more then 30ds and Killer abs is awesome too.
Lift as heavy as you can, the heavier the better. I used 3-5s and 8s now i try to use my 10's 12's and 15s.

I'm 2/3 of the way through; just started Level 3. It's an amazing workout, I'm very pleased with my results so far. I do it ~ 4 days a week and I usually do each level 12-15 times (3-4 weeks) so it's taking longer than 30 days but I like to mix it up with a couple of cardio sessions or pilates and I usually have a rest day each week.

I have a few photos in my pics. Haven't lost that much weight but have dropped at least one dress size and inches all over.

Jillian is using 3 lb. weights. I did level 1 and 2 with 5 pound weights (I didn't know) and some exercises were fine, others made me feel like my arms were going to rip from their sockets. I am restarting in the next day or two and plan to mix up the threes and fives.

Its a work out DVD by Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser.
Its a popular work out I think because its only 18 minutes, its broken down into 3 6 minute circuits. 3 minute strength, 2 minute cardio and 1 minute abs(IF I remember correctly?) only requires a couple of hand weights and a mat or carpet. Worth checking out, I think I bought mine at Target for about $15 a few years ago.

Angel0787

All I have is 5lbs and I find that it's okay with some of the exercises she does, but others it's a little too heavy for me to make it through the entire circuit with, so I am going to have to invest in a small weight soon myself.

I am on my second round of 30DS day 3 of level 2 and I have found 3 lb weights work for some moves, espcially if you are a beginner and needing to be sure proper form is done, and on other moves I ues a 5 lb weight. Try what works the best, move up or down on the weights that will help you, proper form and no injuries is better than trying with heavier weights. Good luck.

Here are mine:




It's completely worth while, I'd recommend it to anyone. However I'd also recommend taking progress photos and not going by the scale! I'm 1lb heavier in my after pic than my before pic.

I don't have any pictures, but I've done 9 days so far and I am seeing visible results in my tummy flatness. Down 2 lbs in the first week... we'll see what this past week has done, but I did skip two days. Good luck!

fruitloop2

I'm on day 5 of level 2. I also mix up my hand weights. I found some of the exercises to easy with the 3lb ones so upped them to the 5lb. I took a peek at level 3 today and I think it might just kill me.

Nah; I use 5 pound weights and have no issues at all.

Yes, at that low of a calorie intake, eat back the exercise calories or you will lose your stamina. Be careful to not over-estimate the burn. I have seen entries for the 30DS all over the place. I tend to believe it's worth about 200 cals.

I am on day 25 today. Level 3 day 5 and I have lost 8 lbs. I didn't take measurements but I know I've gotten smaller. I have collar bones now and some definition in my upper arms. I took first day pics and will post the results if I get brave enough! I use 5 lb weights for most stuff, except for the shoulder raise move on Level 1! I use soup cans for those Good luck! I joined a group where we all started the same day and it's been awesome...maybe try getting a group together to help with accountability!!
