    Good Luck...I have it, and only did about 3 days of it, since I was doing them when I had a rest day from P90X....I enjoyed it, but, she is sorta annoying in the videos! LOL ( and i love her)

    I have heard you get awesome results from it though! keep us posted!

    I have been using the 30 day shred for 1 week now. It is super hard, esp for me because I am totally out of shape. AND I hate to exercise. But I really like this dvd. I could see it getting boring after a while, so I plan to get more dvds as I go along. So far though, this one is a thumbs up. I feel GREAT after I've done it. Good luck!

    The 30 day shred is a great workout!! Especially for those who are short on time. I have never completed the full 30 days but I use it routinely in my workout cycle. It is intense, but since it is only 20 minutes it makes sense that it would be.

    I love this dvd. I sweat bucket when i use it. I am only on level one. I did it awile ago and lost 10lbs, but then I stopped working out for a month. I just started it up again two weeks ago, and i've lost 4.2lbs so for. But I have not been doing it everyday like recommended. I started doing everyday just this week.

    Honestly I got bored with the 30DS - boring music, and just not enough to keep me motivated. I bought Zumba for my Wii about a month ago (it came in a pack with the game and the belt for $35) and I've lost 7 pounds and 3.5 inches. Good luck with your 30DS - I hope you like it better than I did!

    Im personally on day 4 of the 30DS, I can feel the difference. It is tough but its also meant to be..its only like 28 minutes long. I really enjoy it though!! : )

    I just started and I am on day 5. I did level 1 for a few days but felt it was a little too easy. Level 2 is quite challenging for me. We will have to compare results at the end! I am also doing some other classes at the gym during the week, which will skew my results a bit.

    Jillian does get a little annoying. If I hear her say "don't phone it in" one more time I may snap. I will be muting her from now on :P

    I'm on day 18 and on level one and am liking it. It is an excellent workout - I am shocked how much my body is transforming. I won't know final measurements until I am done. Jillian is super annoying on the video - I really wish she would just instruct and not talk at all - her "motivating words" bug the hell out of me to be honest.

    I'm a huge fan of all of Jillian's workouts. They are the only ones I get resutls with. Circuit training is awesome. I'm actually about to go do her Shred it Weights video. The workouts are difficult at first, but they get easier. I've been using her videos for about 18 months now. Great results! I also recommend her Shred It Weights videos with a kettle bell workout and the Last Chance Workout. Best of luck -- keep with it and you'll see great results!

    I just bought it too!! I figured I'd do that after my Boot Camp Groupon is up in a few weeks! Good Luck with it!! :)

    I have never finished the entire 30 day series, but I have done the workouts when I'm pressed for time since they are only about 20-25 minutes. Like other people said, I got a little bored & annoyed at times. After a while you start to memorize the workouts, so I would mute the tv and play my own music on my iPod dock. I have known people who got great results using the program though so stick to it. It's so short that people's number one excuse (lack of time) is hardly an issue.
    Good luck.

    I have been using 30ds for a week and love it.....It is intense but fun...I recommend weighing and taking your measurments before beginning and then you would know what you have accomplished for the month......
    It is hard to begin with but gets easier as you go,,there are 3 levels I am doing a level for 10 days before moving on.....
    You need a yoga mat if working on a hard floor and hand weights,,I use 3lb weights for now....
    Good Luck...

    You know, maybe try doing a search for 30ds. I am certain that I have seen a thread around where a group of people are doing it together on here.

    I have it, but I am like the other posters on this thread. I got bored. I had to find something that kept me interested and I did.

    I have it and still use it along with Insanity. I bought 30 Day Shred 1-2 months ago. I made it to day 11 but then got lazy. I've managed to do all 3 levels consecutively in one workout session though. I struggled but am looking forward to do that challenge again in hopes that my form is a lot better.

    I did the 30 day shred for 17 days and lost 9lbs and 6inches. I loved it. I stopped because I pulled a tendon in my ankle (not related to 30DS) I plan to start it again soon, maybe i'll aim for the 1st as well! I love Jillian but after a while you really do memorize everything she says which makes the 20 min seem like eternity so I also muted her and played my own music. The work outs seem impossible at 1st but by the 4th or 5th time you wont believe how much your stamina has improved. I totally recommend the shred.

    I loved 30DS but just couldn't get past Level 2 :-( I think I got a little bored with it and just used that as my excuse *sigh* so I went out an bought Ripped in 30 and I like this one more then 30DS. I listen to my headsets, cause even though I love JM she can get to be a weee bit annoying.. I am currently on Week 1 Day 4! Good Luck on 30DS and try to stick with it cause it really does give you a great workout!

    Here is a link to my results. The stats are listed first, but the pictures are posted on page 2. It really does work if you stick with it. Just make sure you take before pictures and measurements so you can compare when you are finished. You may see a bigger loss in inches than weight.

    I have been doing it for a week now. I hate the jumping jacks and the reverse and bicycle crunches. But I have noticed it is getting slightly easier each day. My knees are killing me but I am also 5'4" 211.5 lbs and have been a couch potato for the last 2 years.

    I just started Level 1 Day 1 last night and I survived! I could not do the reverse crunches because I have a slipped disk in my back, so I just modified and did one leg crunching up at a time instead of both. I also couldn't do a pushup (modified or not) to save my life; so I just did bicep curls with my hand weights while waiting so I was at least working out something. I am sore today, but not in an unbearable way.

    Let me know if you want to do the journey together!

    I have trouble with the jumping moves too. I use a mini trampoline for all of the jump moves and it helps a lot. Heart rate still sores! I am on day 28 and yes, my clothes fit better and I look a little leaner. Definitely recommend it for the time factor and the results. I will keep it in my workout schedule for sure!:smile:

    Another one you should check out is her No More Trouble Zones video. It is a bit intense, but so worth it! It's all circuit training and lasts about an hour. Great results. It's good to use when you have some time!

    I am on day 20, have lost a total of 4.2 pounds so far since I began 30 DS, I would say this is a great workout!
