I'm on day 4 of the shred. I'm less sore today then I was on days 1 and 2. My endurance is building, but I fear I'm not going to lose inches or weight. I haven't budged on the scale or measuring tape in 3 months, and I'm hope the shred changes that. Have any of you had success on the shred? What were your results? Any comments?

    I've done it once before ( I started it again im on day 3) and it really dos help you lose inches, I lost about 7.5lbs when i did it last but 2-3 inches off pretty much everything! Keep it up it is worth it xx

    I am on day 5, I feel stronger and I have much more endurance. I use to have to pause after a few jumping jacks and now I am going strong. I will update as I get further into it.

    I found each level quite challenging the first maybe 3 or 4 times, but after that they get easier and by the end I wondered what I ever found hard about it at the start. I lost between 1- 1 & a half inches off my waist after just level 1 and a some of level 2. I lost a couple lbs aswell, but I'm pretty sure this was mainly due to eating less, and I'd say 30DS will help more with inch loss and toning, than it will with weight loss. But add it in as a workout, and with eating well, you'll lose weight!

    I'm on day 5 today. Haven't weighed or taped myself in about a year, too scared to, so I will only be able to tell if it is working by the way my clothes fit. But I have seen lots of success stories on here from people who have done it, and more often than not people are always really happy with their results, usually more so in terms of inches lost and tone gained rather than weight lost. Just search out 30 DS on here and the success stories/pics are there (if i knew how to post the link to bring you directly there I would...)

    Not sure about 30 day shred? Have you tried turbofire? Its fun and has lots of variety. I've only been doing it for a week and have lost 1.7kg so far. I did start doing a Jillian Michaels workout, but got bored. I've heard good things about turbofire and that people have seen awesome results.

    Anyhow, good luck on your weight loss journey :)

    I just started, so I'm hoping to hear good things from everyone. However, I've certainly seen success stories posted here!

    I did it in the past (had to stop due to injury). I found I lost inches way more then I lost weight while doing it. I also have had a lot of friends say the same thing. So, don't be shocked if the scale doesn't move too much but remember to take your measurements!

    You might want to join the 30 Day Shred discussion area and post this there. That's where all the hard core shredders hang out! We also have a daily check in discussion topic which we all post in every day after our shred. I'm on Day 7 of Level 1... too soon to tell.

    I had good results from her 30 Day Shred and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism DVD's. I started at a weight of 189 and I went down to 162. I hit a plateu and stayed at 162 for awhile and I got discouraged. Eating got good and I didn't exercise as much so therefore I started gaining the weight back. The weight gain was my downfall, but Jillian Michael DVD's do work.

    I did it last year, but not evefry day, I did it about 3 times per week and did each level about 10 times before moving up to the next, plus other cardio (zumba and swimming which i had been doing already). After 6 weeks doing it I suddenly got loads of people telling me I looked great. I don't know how much weight i lost but I definitely got more toned and got stronger arms, legs and abs. Good luck.

    make sure you're eating enough to keep up with it. It burns at least 150 calories for me using my Heart Rate Monitor and I'm in pretty good shape, so it will burn more if you're new to exercise. Make sure you're eating those cals back to sustain the muscle your body is needing.

    That is the link to my blog about my experiance including photos. I only lost 7lbs but 19inches. It was my only form of excersize and I ate like crap. I am now doing it again (on L1D5) while watching my food intake. I was 222lbs when I started. Its tough but doable and worth it. I would recommend it to anyone, feel free to add.

    There are about 4 continuations of this thread, I think, with many, many before/after reports. It's great motivation!
