30 day shred

today is day 5 for me it is so much easier now and i feel great! also the reults are quick! i can see a change already!

I am on day 5 also :-) Really motivated and want to complete it and I can see results, my stomach feels flatter. Only demotivating factor is that when I get on the scales I have actually put on weight; about 4lbs. I am also restricting my calories to the recommended amount for my height / weight etc. I think I have lost inches but I really wanted to lose weight aswell. Anyone got any ideas?

This is my second time doing 30 DS...I gained a few pounds both times I started,but they fell off quickly. Don't focus so much on the scale...the inches you are losing is fat. Good luck, and have fun with it. Jillian is awesome!

Thank you I will stick at it :-)

I'm new here, and this 30 day shred sounds interesting. what do you do?

Its an intense work out DVD by Jillian Michaels. 20 mins workout for 30 days - 10 days on Level 1, 10 days on Level 2 and 10 days on Level 3. It claims to make you lose inches and weight.
It certainly works for the inches - I am on day 5 and the results are showing :-)

thank you!! do you know where i can buy the dvd from?

I ordered mine from Amazon and it came two days later. I have just ordered another of hers also, I did look around online and Amazon was the cheapest at the time.

Alright. thanks for the help. I'm going to try this out!

Good luck :-)

Today I completed day 20 level 3. I thought it would
Be tough but it wasn't as bad as i thought
Except I struggle with push ups still lol

Just to want to let everyone know that 30 day shred is uploaded on youtube. ripped in 30 is also uploaded there if anyone is wondering.

Thanks for the posting! I'm also tracking my calories and didn't understand why I gain 2lbs after a few days. I'm so sore all over!

I will start today too, for the second time. Just got over a broken ankle - believe it or not stress fracture doing ripped in 30.
Anyway just an FYI - you never have to move off level 1 if you are not ready. Do what you can do. Level 1 is an intense workout. Jillian even says, stay here if you can't move on successfully! Also, Target is selling it for $9, no shipping, no waiting!

Make sure you take measurements and before/after pictures. You will be amazed at the difference in your shape, even when the scale says otherwise. I didn't lose much weight-wise, but I lost alot of inches...I had to buy smaller workout clothes by level 2 because my pants fell down! Don't let the scale tell your tale, no one knows what that number is but you but everyone can see the difference in your shape

I agree. I've noticed more inches and timing so far then weight loss
Bodies changed a lot And i just finished day 21
Although I'd love to see weight loss I'm not discouraged lol

I got mine at WalMart for under $10 - Amazon and Ebay have it as well.

I will be starting it tomorrow, I have to go get a mat...hardwood floor is not nice to your body!!

day 3 for me.
my thighs are killing me.

I just ordered this from Amazon last week and expect to get it on Wednesday. Can anyone tell me what lbs weights she is using? I have a set of 8lbs and wonder if that is too heavy for what Jillian is doing?

I have this at home and I think I started Day 1 a year ago and didn't go back. I'm encouraged to see that a lot of people said the sickness went away after day 4 or 5!

8 lb weights would have been too heavy for me, but I'm just beginning any kind of strength training. For the harder moves, I start out with 3 lb weights and make it my goal to move up to 5 lbs by day 5 of any given level. Weights are cheap, so I would have a few on hand to use as you feel necessary.

I did day 21 today and it was tough. Traveling pushups were invented by the devil himself! While level 2 has a lot of planks, level 3 seems to have more jumping. I have nightmares with Jillian saying "I want you to feel like you're going to die" lol

I haven't taken any measurements, but it's obvious to me my body is losing inches of fat and gaining muscles. I look so much more toned and I'm losing about 1.5-2lbs/week. Keep it up everyone, it will pay off!
