    I'm stopping to buy this on my way home from work tonight after a few days of reading about it. I've had some success with weight loss through dieting but not so much luck with losing inches. I've been dealing with a back injury for the past several months and after lots and lots of physical therapy, I think I'm ready for something high intensity again. Hoping this will be the change I need to keep the weight coming off. Starting tomorrow or Thursday. 30 days straight. No excuses!


    I did the shred up to level 1 day 9 and hurt my back ... Bad. ... That was in August and I still have difficulty with my back tightening up on me ... Please take care doing this ...

    Do you remember which move tweaked your back? My husband has a horrible back, I want to keep an eye on him, so far, he's okay...

    I'm on L1D3, which is cool (even though I am sore)
    Does anybody else work out on top of it? I do this in the AM, and go running/zumba/step class etc etc in the evening, as I want to lose weight and inches; but I'm not sure if thats recommended. Thanks gang!

    I've just finished day 10 level 1 but I've done the whole thing before and I find level 3 easier than level 2 - I hope I can get through level 2! I can see a big improvement already.

    Circuit training is accurate (I tested with an HRM) but if you do a search in your exercise log and it doesn't find it, you can add your own.


    i found that too!!! i was so scared to try it cuz L2 was pretty brutal but i actually enjoy level 3 besides the plank with the leg lifts and the dumbell row... exercise itself is easy but is killer on my wrists

    Oh yeah I remember that one - I had to get different weights because of that exercise!

    I'm on Day 6, Level 1. The first couple of days I felt like crying I was so sore. But the soreness is gone now. I skipped today -- I just couldn't get motivated for it this morning -- but instead I walked 2 miles to the grocery store and carried the groceries home. It was a fair trade off in the amount of calories I burned, but I actually miss the toning exercises.

    My biggest "complaint" (which just really means what I don't like) is the cardio. I HATE jumping anything. Jumping jacks, jumping rope, butt kicks, etc. The impact hurts my knees. So I don't care what Jillian says, there is a modified version -- I just don't lift my feet of the ground. It may not be ideal, but it's right for me. And it's a heck of a lot more than I was doing a month ago.

    I just started today too! Not looking forward to the pain everyone is saying they felt after the day 1 workout but definitely looking forward to losing some inches! I would like to stay accountable with a group of people also doing it...I'm new to MFP...how do I do that?

    Just keep checking back into this thread, I will do the same, and I'm sure alot of people that have replied will as well.

    I skipped today and went to the gym instead, so tomorrow is Day 3 for me.

    Personally, I love being sore from working out... okay "love" isn't the right word, but you know what I mean.

    A saying that's made me love the pain "If your not sore then your not doing it right" lol. And it never get's easier, your endurance just get's better :)

    I'm on L3 D3, and I haven't lost much weight, but am smaller and tighter! I hope I'm officially smaller when I take my final measurements in 7 more days!

    I started it on Sunday L1D1. Haven't worked out to the video since because I'm insanely sore! So instead I've been doing simple 10 minute workouts using 3lbs dumbbells. I figured I would do the 30 day shred dvd twice a week, and do the 10 minute workouts 5 days a week. I'm also going to alternate the short workouts, from cardio to toning and stuff like that.

    by the way, I would love it if people from this thread added me! It would be nice to have some friends who are also doing the 30DS =]

    i actually started 2 weeks ago but i seem to loose will power after the 3 day :( so i start on Monday and by Thursday i dont do it and i start again on Monday. How can i get motivated to keep doing it all week?

    Fight through it! I keep reminding myself that it's a 30 DAY shred, not a whenever I want shred. Drink plenty of water and massage your muscles, it can help with the soreness and make it easier to do again the next day. I yelp every time I get out of a chair, but as Jillian says, "Pain is fear leaving the body." Learn to love the burn! :)

    This and might I add, get some Epsom salt and soak in it :) I swear I thought the person was crazy when they told me this, but I soak in it every night after a workout.

    I have been working out for almost 3 weeks now in http://fitnessvideosandplans.com and I actually find it very effective as I found out that I lose 4 pounds instantly. Though at the beginning, it was so hard but then I realized it is challenging to finish this thing until I got my target weight.

    Thanks for the concern, and I will definitely be careful. I'm not looking to end up back where I was by any means. Thankfully, I've spent so much time with a physical therapist that I understand specifically what it is I can and cannot do with my back, and I can adapt what Jillian is doing in a way that is best for me. Overextension is what gets to me, so I have to be careful with squats, planks, and those kinds of exercises.

    From my experience, I do suggest that anyone with a history of back problems take the time to slowly strengthen your hip and abdominal muscles before beginning ANY kind of rigorous exercise program. It's definitely not worth the risk and if you hurt yourself, you will only end up delaying the weight loss you were trying to obtain to begin with.
