During the time I was on the 30 Day Shred, I was also walking a lot, plus adding in some running-so the 30DS wasn't the only exercise I was doing. I was also watching my food intake, eating back at least half of my exercise calories. I completed the 30DS in the space of about 40-42 days, so I did take days off--I would Shred for 4 to 5 days straight, and then take a day or two off or just doing something else.

By workout 12, I had lost 5.75 inches around my waist, arms, thighs, and hips, but I hadn't lost any weight yet (plateaus are a pretty regular occurrence for me). By the last workout, I had lost an additional .75 inches from my waist, and had lost 3 pounds. So, I did get results. Different people get different physical results--but the best result for me, by far, was the way the 30DS got me into working out harder, and more regularly. That was priceless.

I still do the 30DS on occasion (the last few times I've done two levels in one day, which is INSANE). I have another Jillian Michaels DVD that I use a couple of times a week as well. Walking and jogging round out my exercise routines. I've lost another 4 lbs, and I can see the changes in my body, even though I don't think I've lost any inches for several weeks. BUT...here are a few things I have noticed: my back, upper and lower, looks amazing. It didn't before, and now my little "wings" around my shoulder blades are gone, my love handles are almost nonexistent, and I have so much more definition in my abs. My arms are still big, and so are my thighs, but the skin looks much tighter. I see more definition in my shoulders. My face looks nicer. My little double-chin is gone.

So--different people are going to have different results. I still love the DVD, so I still use it. It's a fantastic workout. My body didn't change drastically during the initial 30DS, but I saw and felt enough changes to make me so much more confident in my body, strength, endurance, etc. I know I can get the results I want, but as Jillian says, "they don't come for free".

Good for you for doing the 30DS! It's a fantastic tool, and will definitely help you to reach your goals.

I started the 30 day Shred a week ago. I took two days off so today was day 6 for me. I weight in and lost 2.9 lbs! I have also lost an inch. I just do the shred and cut my food intake WAY down since I was snacking a lot before. Hoping to see more results. The hubby and I are going to get a elliptical, bike and home gym tomorrow * Loving Craigslist* So im hoping to get more work outs in! Good luck!

30DS, walking and making healthier eating choices has been my routine for the past, almost 3 weeks. I have lost over 16 pounds. Started at 223 and weighed in at 206.8 last Wednesday.
