Hiya!

I'm Chelsie,

I weigh 156 and I'm beyond tired of being over weight.

This video sounds promising, and Jillian is RIPPED.

Anyone tried it with success? Opinions please ^_^

    I gained weight while I was doing it, but got more toned and lost a few inches! It's hard but I recommend it!

    I finished day 9 of level 2, and it kicks my *kitten* every day. If you search "30 day shred" and look for those with results, you can see some before and afters of people that it really worked for. I have lost weight and inches myself while doing it (though it is not all I do).

    Thanks guys ^_^ I think I'll mainly be using it to develop some muscle tone, I've heard muscle burns more calories.

    I'm thinking a separate video for cardio, but I haven't chosen one yet.

    I found it to be a nice compliment to jogging - not much cardio to it, but the strength piece was killer! Good luck!!

    I did it back in January/February and I had great results! I lost several inches in my waist (3 in.), hips (4 in.). thighs (3 in.) and I lost 5.4 pounds. Plus, I went from a size 10 to a size 8! Since then, I have been doing her "Ripped in 30" and "Extreme Shed and Shred" and doing the "30 Day Shred" again and I've gone done to a size 4/6! In short, Jillian Micheals is amazing! :smile:

    I had great success with it. Not a lot of lbs lost, but lost inches and look much better.

    Question for you all out there. Probably stupid question but here it goes. It is called 30 day shred...does that mean 30 days straight of doing it or do you take rest days? Thanks in advance.

    I really loved the BEach Body videos for my cardio. They had a 20 minute high intensity burn that always was a ton of fun and usually lead to me wanting to do it again! She also has a great workout that I believe was 40 minutes that did a lot of combo moves (lunges with bicep curls, etc) and I was able to really change up my body quickly! I have problems with my joints and my shoulders are really bothering me right now- so I stick to the Butt Bible- its amazing for your legs and behind! And you are correct- lean muscle helps your body burn calories all day long! Just be sure to add some healthy calories/fats to your diet if you need it, I find I have to eat more frequently as I am constantly burning!!

    Hey Chelsie I'm in phase 1 on day 5. I like it a lot. Its hard but worth it. I'm not sure if i've lost any thing yet bc had my roommate take my scale from me. Everyone says I look smaller. I'm about to do a cardio dvd with it as well. Im also doing a blog as I go. Feel free to add me if you want someone to do it with you and help motivate you.

    No More Trouble Zones is a good all around workout and a lot less taxing on the joints because you don't do the same exercise for the extended time you don in 30 day shred. It is what really kick started my weight loss a year ago.

    I read that you take rest days, and I certainly hope its true o_o

    I don't believe you have to do it in 30 days, it just has 3 levels and each level you are suppose to do for 10 days but I have heard of people that took breaks in between and still seen results.....I did it one day and couldn't walk for the next two so Im trying to convince myself to go back to it lol

    the 30 day shred is not bad. if you're very overweight though i suggest going easy on the jumping etc. a lot of people get crazy joint
    pain from the 30 day shred. my knees also started hurting..
    at first i did the 30day shred only then i did it in combination with insanity because i found that the 30dayshred burned too little calories only about 200 for me so i would do the 30DS in the am and INSANITY in the pm.
    it's great for overall fitness, some cardio with effective full body strength training.
    you'll tone up but as far as weight loss, u wont lose much

    I've attempted it many times, making it to level three a couple of times before life gets in the way, I get lazy or just don't want to put myself through it(it is HARD when you are at the beginning of a level!)

    That being said, I'm currently on day four of level one, I keep trying it because even though I've never finished, I've gotten great results with what I have done. From barely doing four or five girl pushups, to doing the full sets of walking pushups in around two weeks, my clothes fit better and I feel GREAT. My scale doesn't really move that much when I do it, like four or five lbs usually, but I can tell from measurements/clothes/boyfriends opinion that I look much better.

    I say try it, it is so effective for a lot of people and so cheep its worth trying! You can even find it on youtube if you just want to try it out first. And don't get discouraged if it is really hard at first, you'll be amazed at how fast you build the strength!

    I'm on day 24 of 30 at the moment and although I've only lost 3 lbs in three weeks, I've lost 2" off my waist, hips and thighs..

    I can't believe I've only got 6 days left until I've completed it, which has made me even more determined then ever to get to goal. Jillian hasn't only helped me physically, but mentally also because I know that I can now finish what I've started :)....

    Shall I post some pics...? :)
