That's amazing! Great results!
I wonder if the 30DS is just as tough as her other DVD's...
I want to do the 30 day shred...but I'm almost done ripped in 30, and have done 6 week 6 pack a few times (this all within a matter of months..wasn't on any program just wanted some exercise) and am wondering if 30 day shred will be just as challenging. Hopefully!0 -

Fantastic results! I will be done with the 30DS on Saturday. My results aren't as dramatic but I also started at 228lbs and a 48' gut. I have lost almost 10lbs, 2 inches off my waist and can tell a huge difference all over my body. I am taking Sunday off and starting the 30DS again on Monday. I hope I can have some brag-worthy pics to share after round 2!0

Ok, I guess I'll begin with my weight history. I was a skinny kid up until the 3rd grade when I started getting a little chubby and remained overweight all through high school. I didn't play any sports and was very inactive. I started losing weight my first year of college because I walked to all of my classes and was constantly on the go. I also became a vegetarian for 2 years and pretty much lived off of snack foods like popcorn and reduced fat Cheez-Its. My average weight in my early twenties was around 110-120 and my lowest weight was 105 (WAY too skinny)! I slowly started gaining weight again in my mid to late twenties because I never exercised and ate whatever I wanted. I didn't become unhappy with my weight until a couple of years ago, but I was too lazy to do anything about it. I reached my highest weight (190) in July of 2011 and decided that I HAD to do something! That's when I discovered MFP.
When I first joined MFP, I felt very overwhelmed with the amount of weight I needed to lose and I really thought there was no way I'd be able to do it. I also thought that in order to lose weight I needed to pretty much starve myself which explains my earliest food entries when I was only eating 900 or so calories a day. Luckily, I made friends through the message boards and started soaking up all of the info I could. I realized that I really could do this and started feeling less overwhelmed the more I learned.
At the time I joined, I had recently gotten married and quit my job, so I was a housewife and living a very sedentary lifestyle. I started out by walking at the park and on my treadmill and consumed around 1200 calories/day and did not eat back my exercise calories. I also bought the 30DS, but I didn't do it consistently at all. Then, I got a job at the Subaru plant building engines at the end of August, so I went from being sedentary to active. My job is very physically demanding and I stopped exercising outside of work. I swing 30 lb crankshafts and engine heads around and move at top speed 8-10 hrs/day so I considered that my exercise up until just recently. I consumed 1200-1400 calories/day with an occasional cheat day. I lost 1-2 lbs/week for most of that time, sometimes 3 lbs/week.
As I got closer to my goal weight I realized that I was going to have to put forth a little more effort to get the toned look I wanted. That's when I decided to do the 30DS consistently. At first I was worried that I would be too tired to do the shred on top of working sometimes 60 hrs/week, but it's actually helped me feel more energetic at work. I started adding on 40 minutes of cardio, power walking on the treadmill, so I work out for an hour or so a day now.
Everyone is different and some things work for some and not for others, but here is my advice. Don't think of this as "being on a diet." My mantra has been "everything in moderation." I still eat fast food. I still eat junk food. I still drink beer. I just control my portions now and make sure that I stay under my calorie goal. I log everything that I eat! I also pre-plan my food every day through the week and stick to it. I very rarely go over my calories unintentionally (maybe a few days the entire 8 months) because I'm very dedicated and I refuse to make excuses. My diary is open to the public and it helps me stay accountable. I know that doesn't work for everyone, but it's helped me a lot. I've been working on eating more protein and fiber, and more fruits and vegetables (although if you're looking at my diary today and tomorrow, I really need to go grocery shopping, lol). I've also started eating back some of my exercise calories and so far, so good.
That's about all I can think of right now. I'm sure there's a lot more I'll think of and I can add more later. Good luck to all of you and if you have any more questions, ask away! Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I really appreciate it!

WOW! You look great! I'm a big fan of Jillian myself. I need and love her drill sargent approach to weight loss. I also have a great deal of respect for her, because she has been overweight before. I wanted to ask you, if you were doing any additional exercise along with the 30DS program? I've never relied solely on 30DS to loose weight because I felt like it wasn't enough cardio for me.0
