Does anyone use this program? I just did level 1 for the first time, thinking of doing it everyday...I am over 200 pounds and I started breathing really heavy but it was worth it!
If you have been using it, have you noticed any results? Thanks!

    I am going to start the 30 Day Shred tomorrow and will do it daily. I have done it a couple time and really liked it.

    I just finished it and it did wonders for me. Mostly toned, and changed the shape of my body, more then pounds lost. But its a great workout!

    I've started in the past and am going to try it again (and get further than 10 days before work interferes...)

    I did it in September. I was used to working out at the gym before I did the 30day but that video made me feel like I had never worked out a day in my life. I didn't lose any weight doing it, however I lost 1/2 inch around my waist. I definately think it was worth it because I felt like I was more toned and after the 30 days I had more endurance. If you feel like giving up after the first few days, dont, keep with it. You will notice some changes for sure.

    I just started it for the second time, lost 10 pounds using it about 5 days a week, it's nice to feel a six pack(kinda) deep under the bulge.

    My cousin is going to lend it to me this week. I plan to start it ASAP. I would love to hear about your experiences and share mine with you as well.

    I just started this tonight! I actually really enjoyed it. I am at 184 now so I was breathing heavy too but I totally feel awesome after the work out. I'm sure I will feel it more in the morning but the way JM teaches it is really great. I am using the YouTube videos instead of buying them. I burned 123 calories according to JM math.

    Also anyone can add me if they want to do this together. It's always more fun with more people. :heart:

    YouTube has a "Be Fit" channel too with all kinds of work outs.....even 10 minute cardio and yoga. Also check out the Biggest Loser's Boot Camp DVD. I have it and loved it when I did it in the past. Bob is the trainer in that one. I am thinking about doing 30 day one day and the next boot camp.

    Yeah you might want to pick up some 2 or 3 lbs dumb bells to start with. I have the 2 lbs and it burned my arms. I figure I'll move up eventually but starting out with the lower for now

    I just finished level one. Am starting level two tomorrow. I did this program last year when I first joined MFP. I had great result then and hoping for the same this time around.

    ETA---I do 30 DS Mon-Fri. I try to incorporate 30-45 minutes of treadmill Mon-Fri when possible.

    I just started this 4 days ago. I love it so far:) i use 6 lb weights on most of it. Loli need a 3 pound weight on the side lunge though. That one kills me

    DO IT! I credit this with helping me lose a lot of weight - fast. I am down 72 lbs mostly because of Jillian Michaels six days a week. Did the 30 Day Shred first, then progressed to her other DVDs which are about an hour each. Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is the biggest calorie burner and my go-to workout at least 4 days a week. But the 30 day Shred started it all for me!

    the 30 day shred is honestly the best workout dvd i've ever bought. check out ripped in 30 and kickbox fastfix, they're awesome too!

    I have only done The Shred but thanks to your tip I found BFBM on youtube and will add that to my workouts too! I love that Youtube has so many free Jillian workouts. I have the DVD but it's so much easier to just click on the youtube video.

    Wanted to add my support for The Shred. I have lost inches, and it's the kind of workout that gets you sweating and raises your heart rate, but it's not too terrible to make you want to quit right away. Great place to start. Do it! :D

    If you do BFBM consistently and eat right, those pounds will melt off - FAST! Glad you found it! I highly recommend. I have all of Jillian's workouts, and BFBM is most effective for weight loss for me. No More Trouble Zones my favorite for toning, and her Kickboxing DVD also great calorie burn.

    I put my hand on the back of a chair for the lunges in the beginning.

    I just did day 2 of level 1. My legs and abs hurt real bad, I can't go down the stairs without bracing myself for it. Lol, well it helps with snacking ^^

    I just did day 2 today also. I can't believe how sore I was after day 1. i'm a little worried about not being able to walk tomorrow! It's a great workout. Yesterday I burned over 300 calories in less than 30 minutes, and it really didn't feel like I was working that hard. It was harder today because I'm sore. Burned 265 calories today in 29 minutes.

    Also i just thought of something else : how many levels are there, how long do you spend on each one? How do you know when to go up a level? Thanks ! Sorry for all the questions btw.
