I started Jillian's 30 day shred yesterday and am going to try my hardest to do the complete 30 days! I am at a small plataue and need to 'shred' my last 10 pounds or so. Anyone else doing this workout video? Any results from people that have completed this?? Any info/comments greatly appreciated! Good luck to us all!

    I'm in!! I did it 3 days last week and lost 2 lbs, but then I went camping over the weekend and gained both pounds back. :grumble: I have been looking for motivation to get back to it!

    Cool! The more motivation, the better! Hopefully this will really help me to 'stick' to it!

    I just started it today actually. It is a pretty good workout, can't wait to see the results. I am going to do it every day, so we will see what happens.

    I'd love to join, however after the first day I did it (Wednesday of last week) I couldn't really walk for 3 days!!! Those squats and "butt kicks" really did me in! hahah. I'll try to get it done at least 3 times a week, so it'll take me longer than 30 days, but I'll be incorporating the gym as well (I hope!).

    Good luck everyone! :drinker:

    2 lbs in a week is a great starting point, even if you gained it back :wink: Lol. I do the same thing. But, hey, at least we know it's possible..

    Opera_Bound: Yeah, I say I want to do it everyday for 30 days, but it's probably not that 'realistic'. I really need at least one day off a week.. Probably Sundays. Lol, last day of the week. That's what I'm aiming for anyway! We'll see how it goes.

    i would love to re-start it. :happy:

    i did it for about a week and got to level 2. obviously i'll have to start at level 1 again :grumble: but i'm TIRED of the treadmill and elliptical every day after work.

    i bought the dang DVD, why not do it, and keep track of this thread? :drinker:

    Is this the one that is on the Comcast on Demand? Lots of jumping jacks. Combines, cardio, strenth, and abs. If so I started it yesterday as well. I have done it before. It is really good!!

    I started it Saturday, pretty awesome. My husband did it with me(one time) and hasn't stopped complaining about his legs hurting lol.

    I started on July 7th. It has taken me 13 days to do the 10 days of level 1 (due to travel and a couple of different rest days).
    I haven't noticed a huge weight loss, but I have lost a couple of inches. My favorite part, though, is my boyfriend can't stop complimenting me on how my legs look. Really, every time I walk by him he has to reach out and touch my legs. Plus, my shorts are fitting much better around the thighs.
    I have been doing mass amounts of cardio (walking/jogging daily), but adding the 30-Day Shred is really helping me to tone up. And I love that from start to finish I am done in under 30 mins. My 2 year old daughter doesn't give me much more time than that.
    I am starting day 1 of level 2 right now. I will let you know how it goes.

    Nikki143: Yep, you buy the video. I heard Target has it on sale right now. Or if you have on demand, they normally have it there it's on my 'free on demand list with brighthouse

    cowsaysmoo: The time of it is PERFECT for me too. I have an 18 month old, so I'm lucky if I get 30 mins to do it! I always aim to do it during naptime. Keep us posted on how your doing! I heard lvl 2 is tough. Let us know how it goes.

    Are there any accessories needed (such as weights)?

    Mishy~ Just weights, I believe. I'm only on lvl 1 and all that I have used were 5lb weights.

    Cool, thanks. I'm going to give it a try. Checking now to see availability in stores because the library has a long wait list.

    I started the 30 day shred part 1 today I am up for this.... first time I have exercised in a while and I couldn't make it all the way through.. I took a short break and started where I left off a few minutes later. I think it was those push ups in the beginning.. I am going to push myself tomorrow to finish the whole thing especially since the 2nd half seemed easier to me than the 1st half anyway.

    Mishy.... I have only seen the first one so far but she only had her mat and hand weights (in which I used 1 liter bottles filled with water) since I don't own weights still kicked my butt
    I will check in tomorrow good luck everyone.

    Ok so one question I have about this. How do you go about entering this into the exercise tracker. Does anyone know how many calories this burns?

    hey i started it july the 1st. its great even for men (no pun intened) even though she says "come on girls" alot lol.
    i am on my final ten pounds as well. stomach definately looked better after a about 10 days. have had a few days off from being ill but back on it yesterday and today. doing level 2. its hard going from one to two but i've heard its easier to go from 2 to 3. 7 more pounds to go! i think i will be doing it for about 40-50 days just to get fitter. im terribly unfit lol. but i can almost do level two without stopping. then i shall progress.

    ps if you google youtube downloader you can download the shreds and use movie maker (or imovie Mac users) to stick the links together. i have all three now, although in bad quality, it's a free way of using them.

    i've been loggin it as circuit training although i guess it depends how intese you work out. i buy my Heart rate monitor tonight so it will be more accurate.
    for me it says 256 for 25 mins and i'm 167lbs atm but i think that feels a little high. we shall see when i get the HRM

    I looked at the reviews for the 30 day shred, and everyone seems to really love it, so I bought it off Amazon.com for like 7 dollars (soo Cheap!) I also bought 2 other videos-Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones", and-Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism- all for a total of 35 dollars. I did the 2 day shipping thing, so once they come in the mail, I am going to start the 30 day shred too. We should all come here and check- in with each other every friday, to see how everyone is doing on it. It is also a great way to keep us all motivated to stick with it!

    Bella - I am with you. I used to do the 30 day shred and loved it and went on to level two. That one kicked my butt. I got out of the habit so started it again yesterday. I was sweating my butt off!! It is effective and doesn't really take that long to do. I am planning on doing it 5 times a week.

    I will check in on fridays. I just joined this site today so lets hope this will help me stay motivated. Which has always been my problem!!

    I am starting day 1 of level 2 right now. I will let you know how it goes.
    Okay, I want to be careful with my words, because I don't want to scare any of you who are just starting the 30-Day Shred.
    HOLY CRAP! Level 2 was the hardest workout I've ever done in my entire life! Hmm, not so gentle with my words, but I honestly don't know how else to describe it.
    I was trying to think back to 13 days ago when I started level 1, to remember if I struggled this much with it. But I don't think so.
    Okay, now the reassuring part, I hope. I am sure that each day will get easier, as I get stronger. The good thing is that it can't get any harder, right? I've seen the workout, and I will conquer it. I will keep you all posted.
    Wish me luck (and strength)!

    I would love to join you all on this. I have 1 of her videos, NO More Trouble Zones. I did it once and it was a good workout. Ive been looking at the 30 day shred and will definately be getting it now & working out with you all. I'm a sinlge mom with 2 boys. My oldest just turned 3 on Friday & my youngest is 5 months old. I'm also a nursing student (only 9 weeks left), so it is super hard to fit in "structured" exercise, but I will be doing everything in my power to do this! I'm so excited. I want to drop some weight before graduation day, since we have to wear all white. Yuck! I also want to get in the best shape of my life to keep up with my boys & it wouldn't hurt to look hot whenever I run into the ex. :wink:

    I just started the 30 day shred today! Totally loved it. If I didn't have a knee that acted up, it would be perfect for me. Just have to do things in moderation when its hurting. I am excited to see some results w/ this! Good luck all :drinker:
