Just started the shred for the very first time today, if anyone else has just started or wants to start please add me as a friend so we can all keep each other motivated. I've got 10 - 12 pounds to lose! Also is it wise to eat the calories you gain by exercising???

    My husband and I are on day 7. It really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. You will be sore if your doing it right and putting everything into it. The first day was the toughest but now it flies by because of how she breaks it up and because we know what is coming. Trust me, push through the soreness, it isn't that bad once you get going. Good luck and stick with it :)

    I just started on Saturday too, I will add u! I think I do need to push harder though because it isn't as bad as I thought it would be (level 1). I don't really feel sore or anything! Could this be due to the fact that I was doing her yoga DVD for awhile before starting this one?

    I'm starting today! So excited/nervous. I'll request you. And yes, from what I've learned on this site, you should eat the calories you burn.

    My first day was today too! I liked it. I had to stop for the "under 5 seconds" twice, but I got through everything. I can't figure out if we're supposed to do 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2 and 10 days of level 3 without a day off for the 30 days. I think I might alternate videos with 30DS, NMTZ and BF, BM over the next few weeks to see how that works.

    Good luck! I started about a month ago and really noticed results after ten days - my clothes started to fit better. Its harsh on your knees though (especially #3), so use caution. Also, she does not do enough stretching at the end of the workouts. I recommend adding 5 more minutes of stretching when you are done - especially in these early days.

    You will notice inches lost before you notice weight loss, but do not get discouraged!

    I did 10 days of each workout 1 & 2, but workout 3 was too harsh on my knees, so I mix them all up now. Workout #2 gets me the sweatiest, so I think it burns the most calories.

    Today is D2L1 for me as well. I'm really looking to tone up and I heard this is great for that. My goal for Level 1 is to do all of the exercises in proper form.

    Keeping form is such an important aspect and very hard for me to keep up with! But Jillian is definitely a lot of help with this! Sometimes I feel like I'm doing the ab part wrong because I don't feel sore from the. Her yoga DVD Level 2 kicks my abs' butt!

    30 day shred is an awesome workout but there is one thing on there that just irks the crap outta me. Jillian introduces one of her girls and says something along the lines of "If you keep up with this workout you will look just like her" Looks at the girl and says "Right?" the girl smiles and nods, then Jillian says "Sure" and laughs...
    But anyhow I know it gets you good results, so keep it up and good luck!!!

    Are you all doing the shred as well as going to the gym? I'd like to try it, but I don't want to break my gym habit.

    I started yesterday...but close enough. :-) I have done it a few times before...but I always lose motivation. I need someone to keep me on track! I have about 30 days until my vacation in Mexico...I need to fit in my swimsuit!

    Just the shred plus regular walking and one pilates class each week!

    I've been doing the shred for a few weeks now. I don't do it everyday, I mix it up with a Billy Blanks DVD and walking (I've also been bad and missed a few days!). I'm still doing level 1 right now but I really like the DVD. I have started to mute JM's voice though lol, I just feel like I've heard what she's saying tooooo many times and it's getting annoying.

    My wife and I are in. We are starting the shred today and it always helps having people to help keep you motivated. I hope I don't end up looking like the girl on the video.

    count me in! i've been slacking and could really use a thread like this to check in to.

    when i first did the shred last june/july, i was committed to doing it 5 days a week. it was brutal on my knees. brutal as in motrin and ice. finally about 6 days into level 2 i stopped. later when i went back to it i'd switch up the cardio to keep it low impact. this time, i don't think i'll be so hardcore. but i definitely could use it to jumpstart my motivation again. i'll probably substitute some days with 20 minutes of non-shred circuits. and i'll follow the shred with a 1 mile run, just to get in a little extra cardio.
