    So I ordered 30 day shred on Amazon and was so excited that I decided to youtube it while I wait... Holy Cow. Not 10 minutes in my 8 year old son walks in and says "Mommy its ok you can stop if you want and take a break. You dont have to listen to that lady your face is all red" I almost stopped just from laughing but I did listen and make it through. Crazy intense. I dont know if I have it in my to do it every day but maybe 2-3 times a week at first. I used speghettio cans for the weights and Im sure my form was off. I kept trying to figure it out half way through the exercises, but I still burned 465 calories and I'm pretty sure later I wont be able to lift my arms... :)

    I did body revolution last year and lost close to 40 lbs. I gained it all back when I lost my way. I just started the program again on June 1st, and I'm down 7 lbs already. I love Jillian!!!

    I'm an instant gratification type of person and had tried so many things to lose weight. I finally tried the 30DS last year and lost 4 pounds in one week. That was enough for me to get hooked. I've lost a total of 20 pounds with Jillian. I lost my way through the holidays and gained some of it back, but I'm back on track now. Her Kickbox Fast Fix dvd is probably my favorite. It's so fast paced and doesn't feel like 20 minutes, so I do that before I go to work in the mornings. I'm also on week 2 of Ripped In 30. I can feel muscles I didn't know I had. haha I love Jillian and I know her products combined with my determination are the reasons for my success so far. :wink:

    Here's mine: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/964110-30-days-of-jm-ripped-in-30?hl=ripped+in+30&page=1#posts-14745283
    It was a great precursor to P90X too. I burn the same calories (per heart rate monitor) in 30 min of any P90X cardio vs the JM circuit of RI30

    I have to watch the workout before I do it so that I have some idea of what I'm supposed to be doing. That way I can concentrate on form and not trying to figure out the exercise.

    I am about to start weeks 11 and 12 of Body Revolution. I mix some killer buns and thighs in with it when I am able -- which I usually am not able! I'm a little afraid to watch these two because it may scare me a bit. I love Jillian though. I'm about to order some more of her DVDs.

    I tend to feel a sense of accomplishment when I do her workouts and I'm now at the point where I can finish them, up the weights and not get so winded that I have to stop! It's great! I love seeing improvements in how quickly I adjust to being able to handle pushups in only a few days because push ups have always been the hardest for me. The next big one is CHIN UPS! I do have trouble doing the exact same workout every single day for six days though.
    So if your like me you switch them up a bit. Like this week I did Power Yoga Baron Baptiste back to back with Yoga Meltdown. Then the next day I did Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred for two days and today I did Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism. It isn't just about my body it's about my mind. I tend to want variety and for my mind to be engaged. Doing it that way keeps my body guessing but I wonder which is more effective. Stick with one particular workout for six days with a day of rest or throw in some variety more often? Either way it has to be better than not doing it at all! I look forward to trying out her newer workouts which I haven't tried before.
    And yes, showing up and doing it is key! Stick it!
