People don't read completely and start to attack the OP.

Maybe for you, but most of us seem to find it a tremendous help and a great workout.

juicemoogan

That s a little bit of a rash statement.

I think you have a really specific case.
I don't think 30DS causes you to do anything when stopped except maybe go back to how you looked before if you stop exercising..

There could be a lot of reasons why your body is changing,.

Don't just blame it on Jillian.

People sometimes get bloated from a change in exercise. Since JM 30DS can be a bit intense and it can cause your muscles to retain water weight to repair. I gained for a week after two weeks of JM and then it went away.

I agree with this. I had great results with 30DS and would def. say what ab definition I do have is from that workout.

brandyk77

what on earth about an exercise routine would cause you to look bloated?

I deleted my post- I am not here to argue or I am not against Jillian.
It's a mistake to try to help!

llmfao ok

Huh.

Ok, well by all means, don't do anything exercise wise that could push you, or challenge you, or make your muscles sore. Wouldn't want to change at all.

Sheesh.

Yep lost 20+ inches because of the shred

WTF???

Blanket statement OP. Did you not consider being bloated was due to other factors?

The above is probably true if you do it for 30 days or more.
But, I am talking about someone like me who did it for only 4 days and felt bloated once I stopped doing it.
So, the point is-IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO IT, DON'T DO IT
Read completely before coming up with comments. Thanks!

Dude, the bloating will go away. Even if you didn't commit. Relaax.

Just because you experienced negative results afterwards doesn't mean other people will. Not trying to be mean but just saying..

taso42

I also hear it makes you sweat and that's just yucky.

pastryari

Lol I'll just sit back and watch this one....

brandyk77

i only do it 1x a week max and have seen results.

Lauren8239

Maybe don't drink beer before you do it? Then you won't be bloated.

cmriverside

Wow. She already gave up on this thread too.

Maybe commitment-phobic.....

I tried starting the 30DS on 3/1/12 and only made it about a week before my schedule got really hectic. I plan on starting it again monday. I never noticed any bloated look. And honestly it comes across like you are saying... "if something is hard its ok to quit and so whats the point? You should never try any thing because it might be too hard." I don't think this is an encouraging or motivating attitude. I think its better to push your self and even if you can only make it for 2 weeks thats better than 2 weeks of nothing! Life ain't easy honey!

I love this!

I tried to doing it several times but I give up after first few days.

When I stop, the first thing I notice is my tummy becomes big (twice as much than before)!!!!
I don't look like before I started doing it , but much loose and bloated if I stop it.

Bloated is a gastrointesinal thing, not a workout thing. Are you drinking water before/during or after the workouts - maybe you've been gulping air as you drink = belly bloat.

I thought when you build muscle that you look bigger for a little while. The muscle volume is there along with water volume, but as the fat is used and the muscle tones you are getting body recomposition. And the 'bigger' goes away.

Geeze, why the hate? But what would you expect by making a thread like this. I see at least 10 threads a day praising the 30 day shred.

Check my post from yesterday and have a look at my arms.
30DS and Jillian's BFBM have bloated my arms:bigsmile:

After starting with these workouts I gained about 2 pounds for a week or two because more training means that the muscles have to store glycogen and in order to do that water is needed.

Especially when the OP herself has commented on many threads talking about how great the 30DS is, too. Lol

Whether you are talking about bloating or water retention, it has nothing to do with a specific workout tape. If it is bloating, it is due to something you are eating (or not eating).
If it is swelling due to water retention or "over-exercising", you are going to get that no matter what exercise routine you do. If you are not used to exercising, especially at high intensity, you are going to over-work your muscles at first. Just like you might get a swollen cheek if someone slaps you, you could experience some swelling and discomfort when you first begin exercise routines that you are not used to. This is normal, and will go away as your body adapts and your muscles get stronger. Giving up just means you get to enjoy starting over from beginning the next time you try a similar routine.
With that said, if discomfort increases to pain that does not go away after exercising (aside from the "good" tired muscle/lactic acid pain),, or the swelling does not go away after a day or two, or becomes discolored (like a bruise), that is NOT normal.

OP, no one is attacking you. Honestly, you only did the tape for a few days when the program is designed to be done for a whole month. You didn't do it long enough to form a valid opinion that would warrant warning people against the workout.

I'm not being mean. That's just being an adult.

I lost 7 inches overall so I would say it does work! Should've stuck with it and pushed thru. Anything worth having isn't going to be handed to you...just like she says in the DVD "you want it....you gotta fight for it!"
