I'm looking for anyone who has started and completed the 30 Day Shred, Level 1.
2 questions:
1) Did you workout for 30 Days straight, or did you take breaks in between days? (Like a day or no more than 2 days between workouts)
2) Do you have before and after pics of your success after watching your diet AND doing the 30 Day Shred?
Thank you in advance, MFP Peeps!

I am on level 1 day 5. I have lost two inches from my waist, an inch from my thighs, and two pounds so far.
I am taking rest days. However, rest days just mean not doing the 30DS - today I did a 50 minute kettle bell work out, and tomorrow I will be doing yoga, and I am making sure to get a good amount of sleep.
My diary is open, so you can look at what I have been eating.0 -
I just finished 30 DS. I noticed a marked difference. Before & after week 1 can be seen on my profile(FR me if you cant see them). I havent done measurements or taken pics yet since finishing. I did each level for 10 straight days then took a day off between levels. Im starting Ripped in 30 today.0

I completed the 30 Day Shred, but it took me longer than 30 days because I get bored easily and decided to break it up with other workouts. Even so, it's a great exercise program. I have since bought a few other Jillian DVD's (Yoga Meltdown, Ripped in 30, Shred it with Weights, Extreme Shed and Shred), and they have all made a huge difference in my level of fitness. I just rotate through them depending on my mood. I've lost 25 pounds since January.0

I used to do 30 Day Shred every other day, usually M, W, F and did some kind of cardio or other workout in between. I have a ways to go, but right before I got married a few years back, I did the 30 Day Shred and was running and honestly my arms have never been that toned! Good luck to you!0

I started the 30 Day Shred on March 9th and completed it on April 7th. I did each level for ten consecutive days. I did not take any rest days. I lost 6 pounds. Will be doing measurements here soon as well as after pics.0

Im on level 2 day 10 of 30 day shred and love it. It does get easier as you go and you feel yourself getting stronger. Im currently a full time student so between doing clinical rotations, school work and a having a 5 yr old i dont have time to do it everyday. I have 2 off days a week because i just cant fit it in my schedule but after an off day ill do my 30 day shred level and 30-40 mins of turbo jam. Havent lost alot of weight but have lost inches! Hope this helps! Good luck!0

I'm starting level 3 tomorrow, and trust me...it gets easier. On level 1 day 1 I was able to do maybe 30-40% of the workout, within 5 days I was able to do 80-90%. I am taking a rest day at the end of each level. I loved level 2, I found it really made me sweat but I enjoyed the exercises. I've lost 2lbs so far with notable difference in how my clothes fit.0

Yes I did level 1 for the full ten days without a day off and then level 2 for 4 days and took 3 days off then continued on with level 2 and 3..I dont have pics but i measured and lost 3 inches in my waist , 2 in my hips 2 inches off each leg and 1 inch off of each arm.
Its a great workout..its OK to take the odd day off..but try not to take too many0 -
I did it for 30 days straight--didn't take any before/after pics, sorry. Week 1 I did level 1 Week 2-2 Week 3-3 and on week 4 I did the entire work out daily for the full length0

I did 30DS about a year ago. I took one rest day per level, randomly when I felt like I needed it. I don't have any before/after pics, but I was definitely pleased with the results and felt much stronger! Each level feels like murder for the first few days, but they get easier. Also, if I remember correctly, I think I liked each level a little bit more than the previous.
There's a thread that has tons of people's results/pics:

What is 30 day shred?0

I did 30DS for 30 days. No breaks. I probably should have though. I think my pictures are still on my profile. I noticed a HUGE difference.0

I didn't plan on taking rest days but I ended up taking 1 about every 10 days. I'd do 10 days on a level, then there would be a weekend or a holiday and I'd take a day off before starting the next one.
I don't have any pictures. I did it the summer before last and them immediately did Ripped in 30 and 6 Week 6 Pack. Then I broke my tailbone on the last day of 6W6P and had to take some time off. Last spring I started a combo program of 4-5 JM DVDs. By the end of summer they weren't hard enough so I added a few P90X workouts. And in the fall I took a "before" picture and started Insanity. I'm on round 2 now and I think I'll be ready for my "after" picture in about 5 weeks.0 -
In working progress - Im on day 7 level 2.....I had a rest day after day2 or 3 my legs killed me but in a good way lol then I was back on it then I rested again in that same week. The first week was hard but I havent done full on cardio/strength like that for a longtime.
I kept it up everyday & 3rd rest today. My 2nd measurement on Monday 8th April - I have losted 25.9cm total i.e chest,bust,waist,arms,hips & thighs I forgot to do a before shot but it shows in my clothes & have had a few postive comments already Its working for me & Im loving it0 -
Everyone is different on the 30day shred. Some will go 10days before resting, some will take 2days a week to rest, etc. Its really up to you. If your determind enough you'll push through as hard as you can. But always listen to your body first. I get bored easy so I don't follow the plan, I just do it whenever I want and I still so results quick.0

So...how is it going now? I am on day 3 level 1...no rest day. I have called Jillian a b*itch about 30 times! I plan to do 10 straight. This time, I will not let the pain stop me!0

So...results?0

I did 30ds during feb/march. the plan was to do it 30 days in a row but i took a couple of days out for injury and there were about 3 days when i couldn't do it every day because my day began at 7.20 and i didn't get home til like 11.30pm!
it took me all in all about 36 days to complete (inc. rest days!) I lost 3.5Kg and 4.5 inches off my body
there were days when I didn't feel like I was doing well at all. I weighed in/took measurement after 7 days, 14 days, 19 days and then after the final workout.
However this being said, I also incorporated other workouts in my routine. I used to do 30ds followed by 20 mins step machine or 30ds plus my strength routine and I watch what I eat.
I'm now doing ripped in 30. I took my measurements and weight when I began and will take them again when I finish. I do it 6 times a week alongside step machine n strength and on my rest day i stil just watch what I eat.
I'll do ripped in 30 for one extra week (it's due to end on 28 april but i'm flying to nyc on 4th may so will work harder for one extra week at level 4)0
