    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.

    You only get strong enough to do them by doing them!. Start with the modified on your knees. And if you can only do half of one, then do that. Then the next day maybe you can do 1. They are hard. But imagine how good it will feel when you can do 5 or 10!

    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?

    Just thought I'd chime in and say that it doesn't matter how heavy you are, you CAN do this! If you are literally concerned about your heart, you should be cleared by a doctor before you do ANY exercise. But with a doctor's okay, you should give it a try. Jillian literally says during one of her 30 DS workouts, "You CAN DO THIS! I have 400 and 500 lb people doing this, SO CAN YOU!" And she's right. It will be hard, some of her moves are high impact, but if you use the beginner moves that she provides and modify whenever it's necessary, it's possible. Just make sure you're fired up and ready to give it all you've got. Best of luck!

    My fiance, who weight about 318 when we started 30 DS does it. He is about 310 now after 8 days. He "almost died" the first couple days, but it gets easier after Day 3. I was 275 when I started it. There are modified version of almost each move that you can do.

    IDk if anyone replied to this or not but there are modifications for every move (well, almost every move). and she will say "I have 3 and 400 pound people that can do this, you can do it too". Just listen to your body and do the modified versions. I am not a dr and do not know your health status...maybe you should go to your dr first and see if you are ready for this?? If not, just move. Get moving some how, some way. Walk around the block. One step at a time!!!!

    I'm doing Ripped in 30....i like it more than the 30 day shred. My only complain is that it tends to make my arms bulk up instead of getting lean, so I alternate days with pilates and yoga.

    I did the shred in December and lost many inches especially from my belly and waist! I have muscle definition in my arms like never before, and I lost around around 5 lbs in 40 days! I love how she pushes you hard and motivates you. my body is stronger and firmer than it was 10 years ago! I started round two today. It was my day1, level 1, but I increased the weights because the moves are getting easier and I want to challenge myself!
    Jillian Michaels Rocks! I absolutely love her,

    I'm 243 and I'm on day 4 of level one and I had tried this a year ago but it didn't last long, but I started again once I started on this site. I know what you mean about being heavier and doing it, and it's hard but worth it. But you are truly worried just do some other exercises and build up to it...but remember that Jillian works on The Biggest Loser and they can do all of it! Good Luck! :D

    I started doing at 333 lbs. I am now on day 5 of level 2. I lost 6.5 inches, 8 lbs, and 2 cup sizes in my bra just on level one. It was very hard at first, but it is easier now.

    ETA: I posted the pics on here, and you can SEE the difference.

    Her yoga is also good, hard but good. I switch off every other day with shred and yoga.

    Another option, if you can't do pushups on your knees is a "wall push up" You just stand arms length from the wall, put your arms straight out in front of you, palms on the wall, and lean in and then push yourself back out. Once you can do those successfully for the full 30 seconds, you could move on to see how many knee pushups you can do, and build from there. And, since there's two push up intervals, you could try wall ones for the first segment and then knee ones for the second one, once you've gotten that far.

    Just started my 30 DS today and LOVED IT! I'm not as sore as I have been, BUT I had been using EA Active 2 as well and that made me very sore about 3 days prior to starting 30DS. Tomorrow morning will be challenging for me as I will be doing 30DS and will be doing a 20 minute workout on my EA Active 2 on my Wii and then am going to do my night job of cleaning for 5 hours. I'm hoping to burn around 800 calories tomorrow! :)

    I just finished day one here too. Mr 6 did it alongside me and that makes you work hard! It just seems so effortless for the little guy. I am using cans of food instead of hand weights for now until I need heavier.

    If you lost 4 lbs in 30 days, AWESOME!! Keep it up! Down is down, as long as we are not going up in weight. AND you are building muscle, which burns more fat. Good job!

    Today I had already been downstairs 3 times and forgot to grab cans out of the kitchen. Didn't feel like going downstairs again, so I used two books instead.
