in Getting Started
So I am just wondering how many people have done or is doing the 30 day shed.. I want to start it. I see so many before and after pics and it seems worth the effort. I already go to the gym 3 days a week but looking for something a bit different I can do at home. Looking to see how affective it is.

    I'm doing it. It's fun for me, but difficult...especially level 2, which I'm on now. Walking planks = hard!

    I finished it recently. I wasn't looking to really lose any more weight but I did lose 3 lbs. I hadn't exercised much lately. Ok ever. Lol so I just wanted to start doing something. I do notice my stomach is firmer too and the muscles in my arms are more noticeable. My profile pic is after but I don't have a before so idk how helpful it is. Like I said I only lost 3 lbs though.

    I think if someone has a fair amount of weight to lose and it just starting to get into eating right and exercising they would probably see more dramatic results. It was fun though and I didn't mind doing it at all which was important for me so I did like it.

    I started level 2 yesterday. I woke up this morning and omg, my abs were, well still are sore. Just did my workout about an hour ago. When I did the first the walking plank and went done for a push up, I hit the floor. My abs could not handle it. So I just followed Anita. I love the 30ds though. It is tough but I lost an inch in my butt and hips and 1/2 in my waist with the first level.

    A little... not as much on the physical side, but my fitness and endurance has really improved. Plus I think it's really fun.

    I did day one level 1 yesterday and my butt, chest and back are sore. I am also reminded that 30 day Shred kills my knees. I use proper form so that isn't the problem with my knees. I also iced my knee yesterday. Chalean Extreme was so much better for my joints, yet I am bored with it and decided to see if 30 DS will do anything for me. I will try to get thru the 30 days if my knees will cooperate.

    For me it was my toes... so much stress on the toes doing pushups and planks.

    Thanks guys. im pretty use to working out. really looking more into toning I stopped looking at number a long time ago. Im build strong so I figure a workout that is used for fitness is what I need. Sometimes I need more then just the gym. Im having a hard time for losing weight for some reason, maybe it's because im use to the lifestyle. I know it's good to shake it up from time to time.

    I started it on Saturday. I've done it before but it's been several months. I'm only doing day 2 today, as my Sunday schedule with church and travel (I live an hour bus ride from where I go to church), I didn't have time to do it yesterday. I am going to do it tonight. (Even though my leg muscles are screaming at me right now)

    Running and walking outside is good. works fast on weight loss.

    I'm completed Level 1 last week and started on Level 2 on Wednesday of last week. I missed Saturday & Sunday because I was out of town but will be back again today after work. Level 2 is tough....and I really feel it in my knees...I'm dtermined, however, to complete the level! I lost 3 lbs doing level 1....but I believe I'm losing more inches than anything.

    The first time I did 30DS I lost 4 pounds, and a total of 3 inches in the first 10 days. But I wasn't very active then. I have recently just started this one again, and am currently on Day 5. As for calorie burn, get a HRM!!!! I can't stress that enough. The first time I did it, I used moderate aerobics on MFP as my calculator since they don't have 30DS and it had me around 280 calories burned. When I went out and got a HRM, I discovered I was burning around 150-160!

    I'm brand new with MFP, can someone explain to me what the 30 day shed is...or tell me where to find it on the website?
    Thanks!

    It's a DVD by Jillian Michaels. There are 3 levels and you do each leave for 10 days. The levels consists of 3 min of weight training, 2 min of cardio and 1 min of abs. You do that 3 times along with a warm up and cool down. You can find it on you tube.

    I did it 2 years ago before our wedding. I only lost 2 pounds, but I lost 7 inches (3 from my waist), I think it is worth it!

    I am starting p903x with my husband today!

    I record it under "Circuit training" It's the best that I can come up with. A HRM would be better at recording it, but they arent exactly cheap!

    I am on day 6 of Level 1 and I love it. Like you I am just trying to get toned and fit and I believe this is something I can stick with.

    I love it! It can be challenging depending on your fitness level. I have done it when I have been very fit and also very out of shape and it's just a great all-around workout.

    I'm on level 1, day 2. I woke up this morning kind of sore, but not horribly so. Decided to do the workout today. Feeling it, for sure. I am using 5 lb weights, I think I need to dig up my 2 lb weights instead. It is a great workout, hopefully I see results. And hopefully i can walk tomorrow. LOL. I was considering doing it 5 days a week with 2 rest days. How has everyone else handled it? I normally do Zumba for exercise and walk 10k steps.. So Jillian is kicking my butt!!!
