    I'm not one to say maybe you should just give up... but really you should just give up on 30 day shred and try something else.

    Ive started and stopped it a few times also. It's a tough work out! I don't believe you are supposed to do it EVERY DAY though. I believe even Jillian said to take rest days. I don't know how many but I guess you have to listen to your body. Good luck!

    I am on Level 2 Day 2 today - keep going! It's tough, but it gets easier - until it's tough again. I've seen great results to far.

    I started a group when I first began, and it's full of awesome people who keep eachother accountable: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/13416-30-day-shred-we-can-do-it

    You can do it! :) I have the same story you do....I've owned the 30 DS dvd for over 4 years now and always got to day 3, but quit....but this April, I decided to just do it...and now I'm going to start Day 8 today! It gets easier, it really does :) Although, I'm dreading level 2, but know Jillian's going to take care of me. :)

    if it takes that many tries...perhaps you just don't LIKE that kind of exercise and should try something else?

    i only do what I love...hence I stick to it.

    You can do it!! Im on day 3 and already notice a difference in my arms and abs (they feel better) I do dancing, walking, running, biking but I needed something for muscle. I have never completed all 30 days so its a challenge for me too. If I can do this so can you!!!!

    I've done RI30 and 30DS. My hardest part was JM's personality. Just annoying... not too motivating for me. Anyway, I believe you can do it

    2 things:

    1. You can do it! You can do it!!! It is mind over matter, and you have the physical ability within yourself.

    2. If you don't WANT to do it, that's okay too! You are more likely to stick with the exercises you like. If zumba is your thang, ain't no problem, as far as I can tell!

    I agree with Bill. You have got to find what works and this obviously isn't it. The important thing is you keep looking for what you will keep doing!

    The best workout is the one you will do.

    Do you like swimming? hiking? going for long walks? having copious amounts of sex?

    Just be consistent about it.

    ^^^^ this is exactly why I want to do 30ds... I love zumba but don't get much definition from it.. i love my walking routine but once again no challenge to my muscles.
