Today I am starting the 30 day shred for 30 days; I have started it before but gave up not this time. I see people who get great results so I am determined to succeed and results!!!! Here is my starting stats:

Weight: 274.5
Bust: 43
Waist: 51
Thighs: 27
Hips: 49
Arms: 15
Neck: 15

I am hoping to drop a few inches off each area and maybe drop 10 pounds :)

    good luck! I have tried it many times and was never able to finish it. Finally I am only 6 days away from being finished.. completed level 3 day 4 this morning!

    Don't get discouraged if you gain a few pounds in the first week or if the scale doesn't move... this happened to me! But the inches is what I noticed most, clothes fit much better. And now I am starting to lose the weight again, but maybe because I increased my calories also.

    Awesome! Good luckkkk! :D

    Can I ask what lb weights you guys are starting with? I only have two 5 lb weights and one 10 lb weight so I haven't decided what I wanna do yet. I got it for my birthday and I'm anxious to start it.

    Good luck!

    I've been throwing around the idea to start.

    Do you all do it barefoot or in shoes? Last time I tried, I did it barefoot and my legs took a huge beating.

    Definitely wear shoes! I tried it 3 days without and my feet and shins hurt so badly. Have done it 3 more days WITH shoes and feel loads better.

    Thanks everyone!! I am also doing her killer abs at the same time for added workouts! I do it in my barefeet because I prefer it and I used 5 lb weights; the fist time I tried this I used 10lbs and it hurt too much! :) You guys can do this!!!!!

    I did L3-Day3 yesterday and I am really feeling the ache today (also did a 2 mile run after the work out yesterday!).....So I think I will be taking a rest day today or just go for a quick jog after work.....

    I haven't done 10 days consecutive since starting, I dont believe it is necessary, but there were a few times I did at least 4 days in a row....

    Cant wait to be finished, I am really starting to see my mid-section firm up and get more shape! I hope to post some before and after pictures in a week or so......

    Good luck everyone, dont give up - keep at it no matter how many days it takes!

    Good luck

    I officially started 30DS today too! I'm starting out with 3lb weights. I'm going to try to do consecutive days, but when I feel I need a recovery day, I'll just do cardio, probably mindless jogging on the rebounder. ;)

    Success to us all!

    I did it in shoes. I had contemplated doing it barefoot though.

    Did my first level 1 workout yesterday eve -really enjoyed it! I like Jillian's attitude of it not having to be perfect, just doing the movements correctly and trying your best and the reassurance that, in time, you'll get better.

    A bit achey today but not as bad as I thought; looking forward to doing it again this eve!

    One thing I cannot do that is on there (and it's not a case of just thinking I can't, I physically can't) is press ups - they cause a sharp pain up my left arm - always have :S

    How's it going for everyone?

    After the second level 1 workout last night I am feeling it today!

    Does anyone else find themselves having a giggle at the things Jillian says? I particularly love (in baby voice) 'Hey there little muscles! Hey there!' ha ha!

    Hi there,
    Im new to my fitness pal but have been trying hard to increase my intake to 1200 calories after spending years below.
    I was wondering whether you have to stick to a diet by jillian while doing her work out dvd?
    Or whether you just stick to healthy eating and calorie counting?

    Also do I need to buy anything extra for the dvd? Need weights or is it optional?

    You will need handweights like 1-5lbs and awesome youi got this!!! With this you just eat healhty and watch calories I do believe

    I started yesterday and started with 3 lb hand weights but found for some of the reps I needed to use my 1 lb weights

    Ok, thanks really hoping to shred some weight but also tone up and be fitter.
    Ive gained 30kg since having my son going from size 6 to 18 huge difference on mt 5ft frame.

    Will this also help boost metabolism as I seemed to have stuffed mine up by eating too low calories for too long?
