30 Day Shred RESULTS!

brph26

Here are my results:

Started March 16
Bust: 34
Waist: 30.5
Hips: 39
Weight:140

Completed on April 18
Bust: 33 - a loss of 1 inch
Waist: 28 - a loss of 2.5 inches
Hips: 37 - a loss of 2 inches
Weight: 132.6 - a loss of 7.4 lbs

I wish I would have taken some other measurements like arms/legs/neck, but that hadn't really occured to me before I started.

I am 5'6" - and the 30DS was really the only workout I was following. I did 10 days at each level with a few rest days spread out here and there. Wasn't doing any other extra exercises, etc.

GREAT JOB!

I started mine on Thursday the 14th, but then was out of town til Monday. Got back on it this morning, and it feels great to be working out again!

I didn't think of taking measurements either. Maybe I will do that tonight even though I'm a few days behind.

Anyways, great job! What will you be doing next?????

If you want to try something different now, she just came out with a Ripped in 30. It runs on the same 3-2-1 system, and the workouts are about 20-24 minutes long too

You take all your bills that you get monthly and shred them. I'm in.

No...really. It's a Jillian Michael's program and people get great results. Of course she's a b&*ch and pushes you but that's what you want. I love her.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ALL!!! These boards have been great motivation for me. I never would have even known about the 30DS if it weren't for MFP!

To answer a few questions:

Yes, I feel GREAT! Stronger, leaner, more energy, more confidence, you name it. It's great to feel this way again. I had gotten back to this after I had my first son, and am now finally getting there after my 2nd son

What I plan to do next is just do some work on my gazelle (sort of like an elliptical) and try and do some target exercises for the thighs and stomach areas. I need to research and find some great ones, so if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to share I have also thought about doing the shred 3 days a week, doing each level one day each, but I think I will take a little break from that before I start it back up.

The way I felt about the shred? - Well, the first few days, I felt like I was back in high school at volleyball camp. Every thing hurt, hurt to go down stairs, hurt to sit down to potty :laugh: BUT after the first 5 days, it got better. I would suggest to anyone that thinks it's too hard or their body hurts to much to just keep going. On the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day when you are so sore...just do it. Once you get started with the stretches and exercises, it gets much better, and just push through it. I was not a fan of level 2. Not sure if it was the exercises or what, but not my favorite. Level 3 was my favorite though, as crazy as that may sound. Maybe because I built it up in my head as going to be so hard and unbearable, that when I actually did the first day of it, I could handle it, and it wasn't all that bad....not sure, but that's my feelings about the shred overall. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to lose inches/weight and getting toned. I could see my muscles starting to tone after the first 10 days for sure.

Ha ha ha, thanks for lightening up a crazy, over duplicated question that drives me nuts.

LOL -- I'm in for the shredding of the bills too!

On another note - I am going to try and post before/after pics tonight. Not sure how that might go though. I really have no idea how to even attempt that but I'll give it a go.

Did you experience any discomfort in your knees?

Did you experience any discomfort in your knees?

I didn't have any trouble with my knees. I know some on here have mentioned that though and my sister has had issues with her shoulders. During Level 2, my back was bothering me, maybe that's why I didn't like it. That could have also come from my TOM though. Maybe I should re-try Level 2. lol

What is the 30 day shred?

It is a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels. I did the first workout yesterday. It is a good workout, I am sore today but I prefer my Zumba and Boxing. May just switch it out instead of doing it for 30 days straight. You can find parts of the workouts on Youtube.

I had my doubts about 30DS but after 10 days I am already seeing what I call amazing results! So far I have lost 3" off my bust, 2" off my waist and 2" off my hips. Someone today told me my pants looked like they are about to fall off! :happy:

I completed the shred a few months back. I haven't stuck to a program since. I am all over the place with my workouts. I have a personal 6 week challenge (I am in week 1) and I am doing her newest dvd Ripped in 30 with her No more trouble zones and my elliptical for 30 minutes a day and when I have the chance running outside!! I am switching up the days. yesterday I did Ripped in 30 and today I am doing No More Trouble Zones! I have all of her dvds so I wanted to pick just 2 for my program.
