  • I am doing the 30 day shred right now. On day 13 today!!! I love it. However I have not lost 1lb yet I can feel myself getting more toned and building more muscle. I am probably losing inches. I choose to do level 1 for 2 weeks . Tomorrow I will be switiching to level two for one week and then onto level 3. Good luck. Im sure youll love it!!! Allthough jillian can get a bit annoying lol .... best wishes girls!

    I have heard that alot of people don't lose a ton of weight doing it, but tone up! I am all for that too!! Its surely can't hurt me I figure!!
  • I did the 30 Day Shred over the summer & people actually started to tell me that I looked better after just a week & a half. You have to be motivated to do it & I quit after awhile 'cause I got too busy with school. But, I'm starting it up again pretty soon! So, I'm with ya. :)
  • I bought it a while back and haven't started it yet...so I'm in!
  • i just bought it today, so i'll be starting it soon! also, my parents just told me that we're going to puerto vallarta for spring break this year, which means i need to get cookin' if i want that hot beach bod haha!
  • I just finished Day 1 of level 1 of the 30 Day Shred with my husband. wow. exhausted! Looking forward to kicking some more butt tomorrow though!
    Does anyone know how to log the 30 Day Shred under exercise? roughly how many calories are burned?

    *kat*
  • I log it as circuit training for 25 mins . Roughly , depending on your weight i believe about 180 calories.

    Did the shred last month...didn't lose much weight, but still lost 1.25" from my belly. As long as the fat is going, I won't complain about the weight. Good luck!!!
  • i just started tonight too! i found out that i can do one real push-up! then it's all downhill from there :blushing: i bet all of us who just started will be hurting real bad tomorrow. but that's how you know it's working, right?

    Today is day 5 for me and so far I love it! I haven't lost any weight yet but I can already tell a difference in my endurance and my arms are looking pretty awesome. The first 2 days REALLY KICKED MY BUTT!!! Jillian will make you hate push-ups and jumping jacks lol! I'm still a little sore...but the key to getting rid of soreness is to do it again! Hopefully I will see some weight loss soon! Good luck!

    I hear you on this girl! You just got to suck it up and keep at it. I have not lost any weight either, just maintaining but I can definitely feel and see a difference :)

    well, I did a 2nd day of it .. question though - is it 30 consecutive days or simply 30 days in total? How is everyone else approaching this? Are you taking rest days? :huh:
  • I'm not taking any rest days. I completed day 2 today! I procrastinated, but the husband kicked my bum..... I'm excited 'cause it was already easier and seemed to take A LOT less time (even though it actually didn't...)
    Hope I can see results soon-ish.... I'm so scared that NOTHING will happen during the 30 days, besides me realizing how out of shape I am..

    I'm on day 6. I am starting to get really bored with the first workout. It is still tough in spots but I'm tired of the same exercises. Has anyone found this to be an issue? I am thinking of trying workout two tomorrow just to see.

    I just finished Day 8 of the Shred. The first 4 days I was doing Level 1 and switched to Level 2 after. The past few days I have been doing Level 1 in the morning and Level 2 at night. I am thinking about doing both levels every other day and in between I will do just level 2 until I can dare try level 3 :) when I started the shred I weighed in at almost 116 lbs and this morning I weighed in at 112.2 lbs. I can definitely see my arms more toned than before I started. Hopefully I will keep seeing results as the next few weeks go by. :)

    I bought it a few weeks back, did it once, haven't done it again. So... okay, sure, I'm in! I'll start tomorrow. (Really? 30 days straight? Okay...)

    I'm starting the 30 day shred today.... and am excited! To be fair, I will do a weigh in and measurements prior and then very likely at each week. I watched the first video and it looked a lot like the bootcamp class at my gym that I loved but can no longer attend because of school. As a side note, are you counting the calories as circuit training? I don't have a heart rate monitor but best guess would be 250-300 cals as 40 min at the gym was about 530. Will keep you posted!

    I count as circuit training; MFP says 243 cals are burned but my HRM only says 150 so I count it as that (I'm 5'8, 138 lbs). That I find is one of the biggest flaws of 30-ds is that you simply don't burn enough calories. I supplement my shred with 35 minute walks at lunch, fast pace so thats another 150 cals burned as well.

    I’m on to level 2 now and everyone says it’s the hardest level but I find it’s more unnatural and odd than hard. I don’t have to do low impact on anything (and in level one I do pushups on my knees, my only modified move). The plank jumping jacks are tough which is great but that move like others i.e. the very first move, bend to your toes crawl out pushup and back is just an unnatural movement, is just awkward. I feel it’s not working my body as efficiently as level 1 did.
  • I am in - I am on day 3 of Level 1. It is already starting to get easier - and I found out that I can do about 5 pushups w/out the modification! Whoo-hoo!
  • i am in...i keep starting the 30 day shred, ugh! right?! lol...anyhow, i've made it through before and loved it, but i definitely need to get back on track w/it...

    i'm in iowa as well!
  • I really want to try this! I have 27 days before I have my baby, so I wont get through the whole thing, but I can probably get a good start on it. I own it but it's packed up in storage. :( Do they have it on OnDemand?? Otherwise I guess a trip to Target is in store for me today.
  • hi everybody :) im o L1D6 already see some changes on my body..i'm doing it twice a day for last two days and i will try to continue like that :) first day was the worst omg !! :D but i managed it... i never exercised in my life but this video i actually like... u all hang in there we can do this ;)
