    Wal-mart has it!! like $12 and youmay want some 3-5lb hand weights (also at walmart maybe$ 5/weight)

    You all look amazing!

    I am super-size girl. I did one day of this a couple weeks ago (and only the first 6 minute section) and I thought I was going to die. It was insane. I did all of it - including the (modified) pushups. I am going to start it again, but does anyone have advice for me about trying to make it that whole time? I know JM says that she has seen 400+pound people do that - I wanna know who she's been seeing! I am at 390 (started at 425) and I am just not sure....Regardless, I will do my best to press on - even if that means some breaks - and post pictures at the end of my 30 days. Will be a great push before my wedding anniversary on July 7th. :o)



    you can do it girl!!! Nice and easy...take it slow...modify what you need too!! If you need to just jump up and down while they are doing the jumping jacks then do it!! if you need to do it without weights...then do it!! If you need to take breaks...then do it!! The 400lb people that she has seen do it, are the contestants on the biggest loser...and me being a fan of the show...knows that these people COULDN'T do it right away...but they slowly built up to it...even if they were still at 400lbs when they did it! You CAN do it!!

    Do I need to buy any equipment for this DVD? what gave you the drive to work through the workouts and make it through the 30days?

    I have only done level 1 so far...but I think that you just need hand weights (3-5lbs) and maybe a mat if you wont be on carpet!

    as far as the measurements go...just make sure that you are consistent...I always go with the smallest part of my natural waist, and the biggest part of my thighs, hips, and arms!!

    I just did day 2 of level 2 and i'm not too sure i'll be able to walk tomorrow. Which may be an issue. I really love this workout and look forward to it. To those of you wondering about doing it "perfectly" modify it however you need to and you'll still be so proud to finish. Every now and then I still drop my weights and have to push to just lift my arms!! Jillian's a beast but she gets the job done! :happy:

    I am on day 18 but I missed 5 days here and there so I am going to work for 35 days to make it up. I don't think my results are going to be anywhere close to you guys. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong :( You all look great by the way. I'm going to keep pushing through and maybe just maybe all the changes will happen at the end.

    keep going, do not get discouraged, some people lose weight easier and differently. you are not doing anything wrong!! the first time i did it i lost 10 lbs. but i had to really watch what i ate and also did some other JM videos. keep up the hard work!

    I actually finished it today!! I did modify and took a tiny break between sections 1/2, but I am SO proud of myself for finishing. Tomorrow, I'm going to try no break. :o)

    Good luck everyone! If I can do it, you can do it!!

    i've been doing the 30 day shred for about a week now, but not consistently (probably about four times, and once i just wasn't feeling it and i quit halfway through to run). even without consistency, i feel like my belly is flatter and my arms are stronger. this thread totally inspired me to be more diligent! and if you're losing inches and not pounds - don't be discouraged, losing inches means you're building muscle which is wayyyyy more fat burning than fat (obviously). so even if the muscle you've gained has offset any weight loss on the scale so far, if you stick with it the number will soon drop in your favor (each pound of muscle burns an extra 50 calories a day just by having it in your body).

    How much "space" do you need to do this workout? My living room is super-tiny and there's nowhere for me to push the furniture... So basically I only have the space where my coffee table sits... Is this enough room? Or is this something that needs an area for me to hop or slide around in? Thanks so much! :)

    the most room you need is to be able to do pushups, squats, and lunges...there isn't a lot of traveling (at least not on level one so far)!

    To echo what others have said , WOW! Can't believe the results I've seen in here. I've started doing it although not everyday , did level 1 on mfirat day but felt it wasn't difficult enough for me as I had started building up endurance through the gym. Trying to do it everyday but I have alternated it with running ect.

    Good luck and thanks for the inspiration.

    Great idea!!

    I did it for 30 consecutive days (which I still can't believe I didn't miss a day!!). I also did the C25K program three times a week, and Zumba twice a week. As well as some biking and walking in there, too.

    I lost 5.5 lbs, 3" off my waist and 3.5" off my hips.
