    I would like to do it but I'm really overweight (320pounds) and am worried I'll have a heart attack if i try! Are there any other 'bigger' people that have done it?

    My starting weight was 297 lbs - 6'3".

    I am day 3 Level 2.

    I find you just try to keep up as best as you can. As you build muscle and endurance it does get easier. I look at it this way. I try to do the exercises as precise as they do on the video, but even if I have to take a breather between, it is better than doing nothing. You also may find that for some of the moves you do not need to use a hand weight. There are some that I just do the motions without the weights.

    I look at it that I just started being a better person 2 weeks ago. I plan to do ripped in 30 after 30DS is done, and then I will go back to 30DS and hopefully be better at the moves.

    Hope this helps.

    I have actually banked an "emergancy" ten pound my boyfriend gave me for fuel just so i can buy this today!!

    well.....i cant put the fuel in my car now so i wont see him for a couple weeks-i can cope with that if the reslts of this are as good as it says they are!

    I clearly suck as a girlfriend but hey, i will look lovely! ;)

    I did day 8 last night. It is getting easier and doesn't hurt as much after, but it still hurts a lot during!

    I use 3lb weights for, most exercises. I use 5 lbs for the dumbell rows and the chest flys. I can't use weights for more than half of the anterior raises though. Holy crap those hurt!

    I was on Day 8 of Level 1 and missed it 3 days in a row. GRRRR.......... I could tell a difference already. But now, in my head, I'm starting over! It helps a lot. Any type of excercise is better than none

    I think I have every one of her DVD's I started up the 30 day shred again yesterday. My fitness level is a little higher so I started on level 2. Didnt make me sweat much so I did some walking and high knees after. The first time I did the challenge a year ago, I was looking fantastic.. I hope I get the same results this time!! Good Luck all!

    When I started it I was 320. It's tough but the accomplishment feels so good. Going to restart out this week myself.

    But I also do couch 2 5k, too.

    I'm using one pound soup cans and 32 ounce water bottles for weights. Just did Level 1 Day 4. I am a couch potato, very unfit. But I'm feeling really good after I pressed through the soreness on day 2-3.

    All these results sound wonderful and I would love to try them, but I am not strong enough at this point to even do 1 push up. I can only do 10 sit ups and I feel so out of shape. Any encouragement on if I would even come close to being able to do this workout? Also how do I build up stamina? Do I just keep doing 10 sit ups until it becomes easy and then move on to 15/20? How can I make my arms strong enough for push ups?

    Hi! When I did 30 day shred, I used 5lbs. I should start it up again. I love Jillian.

    I have Jillian's Ripped in 30 which is similar to 30DS. Just wondering, when doing this workout, is this all you do? (NOT saying this is easy.) For example, after day one of Ripped in 30 I was sore for three days, so just wanted to do cardio for a few days to recover. Also, not sure if your body will get used to doing the same routine. I know it has different levels and I will likely be stuck at level one for more than a week. Just curious as to what else you might be incorporating. Thanks!

    I am starting the shred today and wanted to know what you enter it in as when you enter "my exercise"....I couldn't find anything in the database!

    When I log 30 Day Shred, I log it as circuit training, general and just put in the minutes. It's pretty accurate. According to my weight and height, I burn 209 calories doing a 20 minute 30 Day Shred workout.

    My body is a bit achy today so I was thinking of doing every other day cardio and 30 Day Shred so I can ease my body into it. It's pretty intense but I also like to just do 45 minutes of the elliptical some days.

    Push ups are challenging. What you can do is do a push up on your knees. 30 Day Shred has modified workouts included in it for those who are just starting out. I think you should do it anyway. It will definitely build up your stamina, strength, and endurance. Even if you have to take a few breaks, at least you are trying and before you know it, you'll be able to get through a whole workout. I had to stop a couple of times on my first day!

    When I started the 30 Day Shred I could hardly do one push up from my knees. I am on day 10 (last day) of Level 1 and I am able to do most of the 30 seconds with the regular push up. I notice a change in my upper body strength from day 1 for sure
