    I have already started it. Actually started level 2 this past Friday. However having to sit it out for a bit. Woke up Sundsy and my knee was hurting. Thought it was better Monday morning until I actually moving around. Started hurting worse. Then my son almost fell out of the grocery cart while I was putting my daughter in her carseat and I twised my knee getting to him. So now it really really hurts. I love the workout and so bummed I can't do it right now. Who knows maybe you all will be where I am by the time I can start again.
    Well if you feel ready feel free to join us! I am sorry about your knee i have heard of people having that same problem. It must be hard on the knees with all the jumping :\ When you were doing it were you doing the modified or advanced moves?


    On level one I did the modified moves. On level 2 I started doing the advanved. There are a lot of moves on level 2 that are modified. I don't know if it's from 30ds or the elliptical.

    This is exactly how i feel! They say a 30 minute workout is only 2% of your day! We can all do it! And it really does start making you feel better, your energy really improves after a few days!
  • I'll join in too! I've never really tried to stick it out and never managed to reach level 2! I'd really be up for support from others to help me keep at it! Need to tone up before my summer holidays! :) xx

    Oh I hope I can do it, I started last year and only got thru the first few days, but I am feeling a bit down after loosing 8 lbs then going on vacation and gaining most back. I am 60 and 5'1 have about 10-15 lbs to loose, so will join the group.
    Let do this. 20-30min is not bad...just hard when ya feel like ya dnt think ya can do it, but will start with the low impact moves she shows and just do my best , will take measurements also this time.
    thanks everyone for the motivation...getting old sucks!! But staying healthy is super and making old feel marvelous! Looking better in my skinny jeans cant hurt either!!

  • I think I want to join too!!! I will see if I can get my hands on the video at walmart!!!! this is great I have been looking for something shorter to get into in the morning before I get my kids up and I am not a morning person so I do not foresee me doing Zumba or any of the other 50-70 min videos I have purchased. My time is very limited between my work hours and commute but I have been run/walking after work at boys baseball games and practices for about 30min I know i need strengthening too and more time to get these pounds off!!! So how do we join this will be the first time I've reached out to other members on this site?

    were happy to have
    This is the perfect workout for you then time wise because it seems to go so fast and you have the rest of the day to get stuff done! I am a stay at home mommy and have a toddler and a 6 year old so it gets crunched for time often but its nice to fit in a workout while my toddler is napping! :)

    I'm down! I've done it sporatically. but never stuck to it. Now I've improved my upper body strength, I think it will be less intimidating

    Hi everyone! I actually completed Level 1 a week ago today and started Level 2 last Wednesday so I'll be a little ahead of you guys, but would love to join! I lost maybe 5 lbs. Level 2 is tough, but I'm determined to do 30 days!

    I would also like to join! I've been inconsistently been tracking my calories with MFP for quite some time now but I'm new to the community aspect. I've tried to do the 30DS over and over and can never get through it, but I will be graduating in May and would love this extra motivation of people going through it with me to get myself into shape! You guys feel free to add me, I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works :)

    I've started the 30-day Shred at least 30 times. That should count for something, right?

    I'd love to join you guys -- maybe it will motivate me to finally finish the program. :)

    I have 5 days left on level 3. I have had great results with lost inches. I had lost 4 off my waist at the end of 20 days. I must admit I'm getting bored at this point but I highly recommend this video. I can feel my core muscles. Those of u that have a smaller amount to lose will definitely see definition. Have fun!

    I started the shred four days ago. I am pretty sore but I hope to make it through all 30 days.
    I really sweat a lot but today, day four, things seemed a tiny bit easier.
    Day one I thought I was going to puke during the bicycle crunches! Today not so bad.

    I've been contemplating doing it again, but I had some choice words for Jillian last time I did it!
    If other people are gonna start, I'll jump on board too! Anyone who's doing the challenge, feel free to add me. :)
