    I'm Keke, 41 years old my bday is in July and wanna look great and take myself on a beach trip somewhere. I've talked about doing the 30 shred for about 2 years with my sister. Well, I've learned that the weight loss journey doesn't work well as a partnership sometimes. I've had more success on my own this past month and I'm excited to try to Shred.

    Hiya, Pam from the UK here! Tried this many times but give up somewhere in level 2 so really need to keep going this time. Have slipped a bit and gained enough to make my clothes uncomfortable. Will do it before bed tonight.

    I'm Jess. 36, SAHM, homeschooling, mom of 4.
    I've lost 87lb and now that you can see some of the muscles that were hiding underneath fluff, I'm letting Jillian torture me.

    I'm on Level 1, Day 9 today.

    My tips are: water, electrolytes, and take your rest days. I take my 2 every week and my workouts are better as a result. So what if it takes me a few more days to finish all the levels? I'll be better off. And ready to start Ripped in 30, which is next in the queue.

    Good luck everyone. :smile:

    Hi, I'm Merideth. I have started the Shred a couple of times but gave up too quickly. I was hoping to find a group of people who were doing it so that I would be more likely to finish it. I'm 53 with about 25 pounds to lose. I will be starting a little late in the challenge but I still want to join in. Tomorrow will be my Day 1. Goodnight to all of you.

    Hi I'm Ivona,

    I'm 31 years old and this is my first time working out since high school. I started on a diet of 1200 cal a day at 165 pounds, and I'm on week 8 of that and have lost 20 pounds so far through diet alone. Halfway through I cut to 1000 cal which I'm feeling quite good on (making sure to hit ALL my macros and micros). I'm really short so it's not an unreasonable number for me, and I feel really good on it.

    I decided it's exercise time on my journey, so I started the shred on April 1 (in the afternoons) and most of me is ok except my thighs are in complete agony this morning. I'm debating whether or not I should work through the pain or take a rest day and just go for a walk instead, but I'm leaning towards giving it another go today and I'll take a break if it's really bad tomorrow.

    How are you all dealing with the soreness? Do you just work through it or is everybody taking rest days? Are you supposed to do it 30 days straight? I'm following on youtube so I don't have the full instructions...

    Hi All, I'm starting the 30 day shred late as my DVD only arrived yesterday. Last year I managed to tone down really well attending boot camps but due to time constraints I'm struggling to fit them in this year. How's everyone finding it? I'm from the UK

    Hi, im Gill (34) from Scotland. I have had the 30DS dvd for a while but never got past day 1. I go to my local curves gym and take my 2 year old swimming once a week. Trying to keep in this regular routine is my biggest challenge and I have been hovering around the same 7lbs for over a year now. I literally want to climb a mountain later this summer so I am feeling motivated to push myself to my goal weight before then.
    Just finished day 1 L1. Star jumps are a killer!!
    CW - 170lbs
    GW - 150lbs
