Body Revolution vs Other Jillian Workouts

I have most of Jillian Michael's workouts on DVD. I have done the Shred about 4 times, but whenever I finish it I just stop doing my workout. I have done the others off and on but the Shred is the only one I have really stuck with, I think that it is because of the 30 day goal.
My question is: Is it worth spending the money to get Body Revolution or is it more of the same stuff?
(I like the idea of Body Revolution because of the calendar and schedule. Yes, I know that's a dumb reason to buy another workout, but there you have it)

I have most of Jillian's workouts as well and Body Revolution. I am the same in the sense that I need a schedule or I wont do it. That being said, I stuck to it and lost about 15lbs and 2 sizes and some serious toning
I found BR is a lot like Shred, except the workouts are about 35 minutes long, not 20 mins. There are three levels just like shred, but each level is a month long and in those levels there are 5 different workouts. In the first two weeks you do level 1(monday,thurdsay) and 2(tuesday, friday)) the cardio DVD(wednesday, saturday). Then after two weeks you do levels 3 and 4 with the cardio DVD and the same rotation. After that, you move to level 2 and so on. A lot of the same type of exercises. I did like BR better, Jillian is actually pretty funny in it, I LOL'd a few times. Mimi cracked me up too. The ladies from Shred are in BR as well.
So to finally answer your question, I personally did find BR worth it. I enjoyed getting up and doing BR, it kept me motivated to get up at 5 in the morning and workout. It is a lot like Shred though, just drawn out longer.
I hope this makes sense and helps you with your decision!0 -

I LOVE the 30 Day Shred, pretty much for the schedule as well. I also have her Last Chance Workout and absolutely LOVE it. It has a schedule as well, tells you which ones to do on Mon, Tues, etc... They do strength, cardio, and abs but to me, it's more intense. Some days of the week it's lower body, some days it's upperbody, other days it's the Last Chance. Since this is a Biggest Loser DVD Last Chance workout, the other people in the workout are from the show. Working out to people who are already overweight pushes me to workout even harder than watching people already in shape, as in 30 Day Shred.0

You could do this like me?... I just started this yesterday.0 -
I love love love Body Revolution. I finished it a while back and will come back and do another round at some point. I work much better also doing a set program. What I loved about it is that the first few weeks really focus on form. I didn't feel it hugely challenging till the later workouts but my core strength has improved immensely and I love all the push up variations. I think I prefer these workouts with more people in as I feel more involved. I also loved turbofire which has the same group feeling.
If you can't afford the body revolution, I can reccomend extreme shed and shred and killer buns and thighs.0 -

DAY 3 - NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES
DAY 4 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1
DAY 5 - BANISH FAT, BOOST METABOLISM
DAY 6 - QUICK TROUBLE ZONES
DAY 7 - OFF!
DAY 8 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1
DAY 9 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2
DAY 10 - QUICK TROUBLE ZONES
DAY 11 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2
DAY 12 - BANISH FAST, BOOST METABOLISM
