How are you feeling about the shred today? I had a good stretching routine that I followed during the Shred that I will be taking up again. It can't.prevent the soreness, but stretching every day is such a good sister workout for the Shred. I used Margaret Richard's Limber for Life.1 -
I am 57 years old and have pretended to workout to jillian off and on for a while. I started this program a year ago and quit after the first week. I am ready to try it again.0

I was 42 years old when I lost so much on it a few years ago. It doesn't really matter how you start out as long as you stick with it because you learn so much more about how to exercise as you go if you stick it out even modifying stuff. After the first 60 days, I still couldn't do front arm raises with anything more than body weight without hurting my neck, but I had advanced in a couple other areas.1 -
Hi I'm Dana, 46 yrs old. I found the Shred on YouTube yesterday and started it. I've got 60lbs to lose. I've been logging food for awhile, but after starting my new desk job two years ago, I really packed on the pounds.
It was tough last night, but I'm not too sore today!2 -
Hi, I'm Karen. A 59 year old Grammy. I pulled my 30 Day Shred DVD out to make sure it still works (it's pretty old) and did the L1 D1 just to check it out. It wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. Ready to start this challenge come April 1st. Yeah.1

Hi! I'm Joanne. I am on day two of the shred, motivated in part because a colleague at work is also doing it. Yesterday sucked, and I was pretty sore all day today. But when I got home from work I tossed dinner in the oven and did my 26 minutes. It actually wasn't as awful as I was expecting.
I have done it in the past, and got maybe halfway through before flaking out. But this time, I have a group to help me stay motivated!
Also, I'm back here after falling off the website for a while (gained all my 40lb loss back plus some extra). Most of my old friends aren't around anymore, so if you want to add me, I'd appreciate it!1 -
Hi...I'm Hazy. I live in Florida. I don't want to turn 40 this fall weighing what I weigh, so it's time to get it all off. I lost 30 since last August, but gained back 15 with all the winter eating I've done.1

Hi I'm Angela, Canadian living in Scotland. I'm 5'3, cw 161 hoping to lose 30-35 pounds. I've been on mfp now for just over a month. I've tried to do the 30 Shred videos in the past but have never been able to stick to it more than a couple days. This time around I feel that since I've been exercising regularly for the past month and logging everything that I should be able to stick to it! (fingers crossed). I've found the level 1 and 2 videos on YouTube and so will be doing it this way. I work from home (desk job) and so I've piled on the pounds over the past 4 years and need to get rid of it! Good luck everyone 1

I was thinking we were doing Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED. Now I have to make sure I have the workout. I better also check the workout schedule. This is the first time I'm not looking at how many days off per week you get.0

I'm Rose, I've done the 30 day shred before but never got past level 1. This time I'd like to do the workouts consistently and finish the entire 30 days finally. My day 1 will be April the 1st.Good luck everyone!2

I've found all three videosideos on YouTube... Just incase you don't have them and need to search look there. Or I can share the links if you can't find them

I'm 54 and looking to lose about 70 lbs. I've done 30DS a couple of times a few years ago but never made it out of level 2. Unfortunately I'm a little older and a little heavier now but all I can do is try.
Is anyone else doing rest days? It seems when I'd done it before I worked out so many days, then took a rest day. I better go see if my dvd player still works.2 -

I take a rest day at the end of each level unless I have to miss an extra workout because of an unexpected life event. I wasn't working the last time I did this program, but this time I am; and, it will be a challenge to keep from taking extra rest days.0 -
I am laughing at the DVD player still working. I have gone through a couple of them and try not to use mine very much. I should really just put all my DVDs on a portable hard drive so I can pull them up easier. it's always a crap if the player will work.0

I'm Heather. I've been doing the shred for 3 days but unfortunately, I skipped 2 day in between. Between working full time and the kids I honestly didn't have time. Going to start again today and stick to it. Did the shred a few years ago and between it and dieting, I lost 33 lbs.2

I'm Ciara, I'm 39yrs old and I had a beautiful girl 6 months ago. Life feels alot more settled and I'm looking forward to working out. I've never got further than level 1 with Jillian before, so can't wait to see what she has instore for me. Wishing you all good luck in your weight loss journey.

It is okay if you skip a day because when you look at it in the long run, you have to miss a day now and then we you have decided to work out for the rest of your life.1 -
Hey there, I'm Alison. I will start either tomorrow or Monday, depending on jet lag. Scared to look at he scale due to vacation but I will add my weight and goals when I do. Best of luck ladies!0

Hi! I am Shannon. I am 35, a mother of 2 children, under 6 years old, and am 30 lbs over weight. I started the shred today, but didn't really eat well. I also did 20 minutes of Zumba. But this is an atypical day for me-I was very motivated. I am excited to be in this group for extra motivation and accountability.2

I'm cassie, 34yo with 3 kids two of which are twins (my flabby belly will attest to that). I started at 260# after the twins and lost down to 200 with diet and exercise. I maintained for about 5 years when I started to see the weight creep back up to 210. I started MFP and lost down to 185. I let myself go again and now I'm up to 195. I'm about to start a more sedentary job and I fear I will get back over 200 again quickly. So that's where 30DS comes in. I hope it's not to late for me to start this with you all, I started last night and was shocked at how much I struggled! I could use some motivation and support. Good luck ladies and can't wait to at least watch you all succeed!1

Glad to know someone my age is doing this too0 -
Hi, just found this group so I'm getting a late start. I'm Kari, recently turned 40. I started 30 day shred last fall and was just about 20 days in when I got sick and gave up.
I had to start an allergy elimination diet a couple months ago and the restrictions ( no dairy, grain, sugar, soy, nuts, eggs, etc) helped me lose 18 lbs. which is great, but I was not getting any less soft and flabby-just slightly smaller soft flabby belly... so starting to add back foods and the weight loss has slowed. Going to start shred again to tighten it up while I hopefully lose another 20 over the spring/summer.0 -
I just found this group and joined. I am currently on level 1, day 8 though. This has always been my go to workout for real results. In the past I have lost several inches even though I've never actually completed the whole 30 days. I am now over 80 lbs lighter and ready to get this accomplished.0

Hi! I'm 32 years old and had my 4th baby ten months ago. I've lost all but about 10-15lbs of the baby weight through healthy eating alone (I gained every bit of 45lbs while pregnant due to complications and stress). But now I'm working out using the 30DS. I'm on level 1, day 6 (tomorrow day 7). This is my third time using the program. After my third baby between 30DS and eating healthier I lost 60lbs. I actually wear earbuds instead of listening to Jillian because I know everything she says by heart. lol.
Current weight: 146lbs
Goal weight: 130lbs
Before and after photos to come! Looking forward to being a part of this group and to stay motivated.0
