    Hi, I have both DVDs too and I also need to be accountable. I find 30 Day Shred much harder than Ripped in 30. For some reason 30 Day Shred made me cry several times. Mostly due to frustration that I struggled to get through the warm up :( . I am up for doing Ripped in 30. Am I taking the "easier" option? Definitely!!! I have several of Jillian Michaels's fitness DVDs/health programmes but haven't had the motivation to work through them so thanks for the challenge invite.

    I'm down! I have 30 day shred. I never finished it I always go for 1 week and then stop.
    What's your goal? Do you want to lose weight?

    I've done 30DS, but never Ripped in 30. I see it's online, so I'll give it a try. I might even be able to do this while on vacation- nice. I take it you're starting on the 1st? I really need to up my workouts again. I'm coming off of a couple of lazy months, with no weight loss. Let's get it done. I just joined another challenge that's working out 4x/wk, so this will just up my game. Barring any more injuries (why I took a couple months off), I should be able to finish.

    yes starting today! I have stacked on some weight over winter even though I swore that I wouldn't. I have been going to the gym the whole time, but eating far more than i should of.

    @caz98 - Bali, very nice. I can totally understand why you want to start today. I will be starting on 1 September if that's okay with everyone else. Two reasons really - firstly I have my nephew staying with me until Wednesday morning and then I am off for a spa break for two days so will be unable to do a DVD until I return. Although I may not be starting today I will however be here from today cheering you all on. I am going to start with Ripped in 30 to "ease" (if that's the right word) myself into Jillian's DVDs as The Shred always has me emotional because I find it so hard. Hope everyone is okay with me starting on the 1st.

    I found Ripped harder after the first level. They both follow the same principles so they're both good. Not long til 1 Sept anyway. i forgot to weigh myself this morning but will do it tomorrow.

    I just started SHRED two days ago (again) and am determined to follow through this time. My muscles are hurting like hell after the first 2 days and I've quit already a few times in the last years, always after only 2-4 days. It's freaking hard for an untrained slob like me, but I'm hopefully motivated enough this time and maybe, this thread will help?

    @missevil - I feel your pain. That makes two of us! I am determined to see if through this time round. This is a perfect challenge to keep us all motivated to finish. @caz98 thanks for starting it!

    I love 30 DS and have done it a couple of times but please be careful - I got to level 2 day 7 last week and whilst doing double jump rope my calf muscle went "pop". It's really painful and apparently it's going to take a few weeks to heal. ☹️️ I'm gutted because it was making such a difference to my fitness / weight loss.

    My goal is to lose a bit of weight but mostly to tone up and get fitter.

    i'm pretty fit but have never been able to double jump. I just do single. i do step aerobics on Monday and Wednesday. and grace fit strength 2-3 times a week. I've definitely built my booty, but have put on far too much eating comfort foods this winter. I feel silly doing so much exercise then undoing it al with my eating.

    Thanks for the tip. I will take note if I ever get to level 2. I am going to do Ripped in 30 first. I seem to have a scary mental block with 30 Day Shred. It was the first Jillian Michaels DVD I bought and it's the one I am most scared of. Doesn't help that I am so unfit! I believe one day I will be able to work through it without crying at some point! It's funny how it never put me off purchasing any of her other DVDs. I have well over 10 different ones from her.

    Good luck to everybody who are starting today.

    I remember doing 30DS a couple of years ago and being so happy when I could finally do the entire videos without taking breaks (the first few times I had to press pause, rest for 1 minute than start again where I had left off) ...

    3 years later and not much physical activity, and all my endurance went out the window.... Gonna give it another try today :smile:

    Good luck everyone, let's keep each other posted :smiley:

    Ok. Weighted myself this morning (Tuesday 29th). I'm currently 79.6kg or 175 pounds. this is a ridiculous high for me i normally peak at 76 kg and stay there. I really need to stop baking!

    I'm doing 30 day shred level 1 this afternoon and following it with an arm/chest work out from grace fit guide. I did legs last night and aggravated a hip issue, so won't be doing too much jumping.

    Also I will take pics tomorrow morning. should've done it this morning.

    Well, day 1 was done with. Today will be day 2, if my shinbones don't act up again. Being a professional stumbler (don't know if that's a word...) I hit both of them at the beginning of the year, and boy did I still feel the aftermath while doing the butt kicks :neutral:

    Do you guys adapt the exercises if you have any kind of injuries you don't want to aggravate?
