Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred

[laybar]

she came out with 2 new dvd's & is offering it on ExerciseTV on demand through time warner cable!! so excited.. i have her book too & also am a member online, so i have so many workouts to choose from.. but i must tell you ladies.. if you dont follow a diet (@least count calories), you will feel stronger, but you might not get much slimmer.. i am now following a 1200 calorie diet & it sucks to count but it is what it is.. when they say that alcohol is empty calories.. they're not kidding! i like to have a glass of wine @ the end of the day to mellow out, but that cuts 100 calories that i could consume with food! w/ me having incorporated this diet, i have lost 5 lbs just this week. & i have been a hard core JM fanatic since october.. just not so good on the diet.. i've been wondering why i saw differences in my body, sure, but i wasnt losing the excess fat that i wanted to.. anyway, thought i'd share so you can see the difference.

I got the dvd and also the book for the 30 pound shred, I am very excited to start the program but not so thrilled about the eating part. Hopefully it won't be too hard!!

Hate to say it, but it is hard... If it weren't hard than everyone would be stick thin. But it's so worth it!

Does circuit 3 on level 2 KILL anyone else?

I just tried level 2 last night. I don't really like it. Not because it's hard (which is it!), but I feel really awkward. It's also hard to do if someone lives below you because some of those exercises really make you bang on the floor. I think I will go back to level 1 for now and bump up the weight a little bit and occassionally throw level 2 in there. I wonder what the third level is like! (I'm definitely not there yet!)

finally got my dvd. did it with FI and we both found that level 1 was meh. sure the push ups were hard for me but he hardly broke a sweat. hopefully level 2 will be better

I agree with you about it being hard to do some of the exercises when someone lives below you. What I do is when those excerises come up I do extra squats.

Well, I have a laundromat under my apartment, and they screwed up my clothes one time, so I stop extra hard sometimes... Lol.

I am going to start the videos tomorrow, I am very excited!!! What is anyones opinion on Jillians diet plan for the 30 day shred, I want to do it along with the video however both my fiance and I did the test for our body types and we have different body types, this means we have to make 2 different meal plans...not very accomodating, anyone else have this problem??
