30 Day Shred Results with pictures

KathyEarhart

Technically tomorrow is my 30th day of the shred; but I won't have time to do my pictures then, so doing it today. I started it on October 6, 2011. I did 6 consecutive days of Level 1, then 8 days of Level 2 (skipping weekends), then Levels 1 & 2 consecutively for 3 consecutive days, then 5 days of Levels 1, 2 & 3 consecutively; for a total of 35 actual workouts.

This totals up to:
14 Level 1 workouts
16 Level 2 workouts
5 Level 3 workouts

I lost 1.3 lbs

In inches I lost:
-1.5" off my stomach
-2" off my hips
-1" off my rear
-.25" off each upper arm
-1" off each thigh
-.75 off chest (under breast)
-1" off my breasts :-(

I added .5" to each calf (which is fine, because it's all muscle.) I see some difference in the pictures, but can tell a big difference in my clothes and stomach.

ADD* Let me add that when I started this, I had not exercised at all for years. I was having to stop and breathe every 2 or 3 minutes. I thought I was going to die the first 3 days. Out of shape was an understatement for me. I started doing all the easy moves and taking breaks (even though Jillian said don't stop.) As a move got to where it wasn't killing me, then I'd do the hard ones. My ankles, knees and wrists did take a beating, weekends off helped that, as well as braces on them. If my knees were hurting way bad, I modified the moves that were too high impact (you can Google this, but like jumping jacks with just the arms and no jumping.) That said, I did push myself very hard, but I wasn't an idiot willing to hurt myself either.

You look great! I did 30DS for like 15 days I did't stick to it BUT I started Ripped in 30 Tuesday and I'm promising myself to actually stick through it.

Wow those pictures really motivate me to take that 30S out of the shrink wrap and do it. LOL
I have owned it for nearly 2 months and have been so scared of Jillian Michaels that I haven't even opened the package.

It's a Jillian Michaels DVD workout you do at home. You just need weights (it says a mat, but I just use the rug in the living room.) I used 5 lbs weights, but from what I've heard, most people start with 3 lb. weights.

Outstanding! The transformation is greatly noticeable. I am on Day 11 of the 30 Day Shred. I hope to get great results! Thanks for the motivation.

That's pretty inexpensive workout DVD. I just ordered mine! Thanks for sharing!

Definitely worth the money. I just bought Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 and 6 week 6 pack Abs and am going to do them next.

Thanks everyone!

Dr_Farru

Yeah I put those on my wish list! :-)
Thanks!

I'm on day 19 of the Shred. Love how strong I feel since I started it. For those of you that want to try it, but don't have the DVD, if you have a cable provider (I'm with Time Warner) you might check the exercise category of the OnDemand channel. Mine has quite a few of Jillian Michaels workouts on there for free, including 30 Day Shred.
