Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred

I did the 30 day shred for 17 days, but had to stop because It turns out I can't do high impact activities without having problems with my feet. However, even stopping early I saw improvement. I didn't really lose any weight, but my waist became more defined. I also built muscle in my legs and arms. I wish I had been able to do the whole 30 days, because I think I would have gotten even better results. I took a rest every 3 days or so. This is important! It can be a very tough regiment, especially when you switch levels and your body feels like it is on fire and your muscles are aching!

Good luck!

I will do day 10 sometime today. I took starting measurements and will measure again after completing each level. I'm not expecting to lose more than 5 lbs during this time period but I hope to lose some inches.

On day 7 , been doing an hour of walking/running a day & eating under 1200-1300 calories & have lost 4 lbs so far !!
Jillian is tough!!

I'm starting this today I'm doing this after I come home from work at 6. I'm excited I'll post picture soon. I suppose I should take one of myself before

Today is day 23 for me. I started to notice changes about 4 days in. Good luck!

I would say I saw results about 2 weeks in. Definitely wait til you reach Level 2 before making any assumptions; it's much harder than Level 1! I only stayed at Level 1 for 5 days, Level 2 for 15 and Level 3 for 10. Overall, it took me about 40 days...I was also training for half-marathon at the time so I was doing cardio, too.

Doing Ripped In 30 now and it's also a great DVD...usually most who complete 30DS move to RI30.

I'm on day 7 of level 2. I measured myself at the end of level 1 and my waist was down 2 inches my hips down 1 and a half inch from my thighs. My weight was up 2lbs but a few people on here said that's normal in the first week. good luck

That weight gain was such a ***** for me. Then I read an article by the Chalean leady about the body retaining water for muscles when you start an intense workout regimen and it can be upwards of 3-4lbs of retained water weight. Then the day the soreness died down, I dropped three pounds in one day. So worth the sticktoitiveness.

I just made my husband hide the scales I had an idea it was water weight because my wedding ring is stuck on my finger.

I'm on day 5 and I've noticed the water weight too. It's incredibly discouraging for me since I've lost so well just walking and dieting. I'm really hoping to see good results though. I'm trying really hard not to let that weight gain kill my motivation. It kind of helps just to see the before and after pics from 30 day shred in this forum. I know it'll be worth it in the end, even if I can't move.

Im inspired. I am going to do it tonight when i get home. I looked up people's results and it's crazy the difference that 30 days makes.

Reading this has inspired me to start it again. I did it and got to level 2 then stopped. I didn't measure myself last time, but will for sure this time.
