    Jillian is awesome. I started Day 1 at the end of Dec 2011. I was out of shape, for sure. Using 2 lbs weights was hard for me. On day 2 I could barley sit to pee, lol. My quads hurt so good. By day 5/6 I was much better, but the work out still kicked my butt. I finished all 3 levels and took a break for a week then started it back up. 3 days a week l do level 3 only with 7 lbs weights along with couch to 5k and brisk walking.
    In the first 30 days:
    I lost 8 inches &
    2 lbs

    I have a bad right knee, and Level 2 really aggrivated it..so after a few days of rest, I decided to try it again with modified cardio that i know doesnt hurt my knee and I'M BACK IN THE SWING of it...Just modify, it's YOUR exercise routine...I FINALLY figured out exercising with modifications was MUCH better than not being able to get through the workout at all....GOOD LUCK...

    Have just finished my first session. Ouch! I found the cardio easy - but the lunges hurt. Have been doing cardio only at the gym the last month though due to time constraints so that would explain it.

    Figure if I keep posting on here it will make me more accountable to continue. Will do it again tomorrow then yoga on Friday. :)

    I am on day four, level one. First two days, I was screaming at the tv....and i could barely sit to pee also. Lol. But now it is easier, thinking of moving to level two tomorrow. I weighed myself this moring and i am already down 1 pound! I will take pounds or inches!! I have noticed already that my thigh muscles are way more pronounced! I so far have lost 17 pounds in just over two months just using my elliptical, but hit a plateau......hoping 30ds gets me back to dropping those pounds!

    Start on a Thursday by washing your hair and braiding it or planning on wearing a hat: combing or blow drying hair after workout 1 is awful. You'll still be able to walk Friday morning but you'll be the most sore on Saturday. By Monday you'll start to feel good and strong and by Tuesday you won't feel constantly sore.

    30 Day Shred gets results, but do it with a friend or jump into a 30 day shred thread on MFP. Misery loves company!

    If losing weight and looking fantastic isn't enough of a reward, think of rewards for each of the levels (new haircut? new workout pants? iTunes download of more Jillian?

    Don't forget before/after pics and measurements! You will want them.

    Good luck! I'm so excited for you!

    Great way of putting it. I am going to start the 30days Shred on Saturday!!! Well I plan on it!!!

    After some time on level 2 I needed my tins of tomatoes for a lasagne, so had to buy proper weights.

    Hahahaha! LOVE this!! :laugh:

    I am currently on Day 4 of Level 2. It is a tough workout and I find anything in the plank pose really difficult. I actually substitute the plank abs at the very end with bicycle crunches. They are easier on the arms and I find I work my abs out a lot more with those. I figure it is better to do another version of something than stand there flipping the bird at the TV! :ohwell:

    Vanilla - You'll be sore after the first couple of days but I think walking to uni woudl be a good way to loosen up. Yesterday was day two for me and I went a short run at night - feel so much better today!

    Good luck, I'm gonna do my 3rd day tonight after work!

    I did my first last night - I was all right all day but I am starting to feel it in my legs and chest - just in time for me to do my next session in an hour :(

    I did listen to previous posters and did a lot of extra stretching last night, and throughout the day today. I inagine you'd be fine for uni though :)

    Thanks! :). Are you planning on doing it everyday for 30 days ? I've read conflicting advice about whether or not to take a rest day, or do it for a full 30 days.

    A note to those who get bored. Mute her. And turn on some Pandora or other workout music. I understand doing the same thing over and over can get annoying but it's so much better with your own music. First time I tried to get through this, I got sick of her voice in only a few days. Then I got sick with the flu :( So, I'm starting over and just completed day three. I'm stretching more on my own now because, yes, I've been walking like a zombie. So, sore! But I already feel more tone! (Maybe it's in my head lol)
