30 day shred results - day 8!

i finished day 8 of the 30 day shred yesterday & i can definitely feel the difference, but i really wanted the satisfaction of seeing the difference, so i took some photos this morning... & i have to say, i'm quite pleased with my results!

since starting the 30 day shred on the 13th, i've lost 1.5 inches from my upper waist, 1 inch from my lower waist, half an inch from my thighs & half an inch from my biceps. i've lost in my hips, too, but i think i might have measured incorrectly 'cause according to my calculations, i've lost 4.5 inches & that doesn't seem right (wouldn't my shorts be completely falling off?). but regardless, the shred is definitely helping me shed! ; D i took 3 "rest" days (on the 14th, the 21st & the 22nd), but still did something active on those days, such as going for walks or working out on the elliptical.

when i first started the shred, i had trouble with the modified push-up's (i could barely get back up after doing one or two of them) & i had to break during each jumping jack/jump rope sequence because i was huffing & puffing so badly & my legs burned so much, i just couldn't keep up! & the bicycle crunches? no way, i just couldn't do them for more than a couple of seconds. i also used 5 pound weights the first day & was so sore, i made the 14th a rest day. on the 15th & the 16th, i didn't use weights at all (i was actually able to do all the moves & keep up with them) & since the 17th, i've used weights for the chest flies, dumbbell rows & some of the squat moves. i'm proud to say i can actually keep up with the modified push-up's, jumping jack/jump rope sequences & the bicycle crunches! it's amazing how strong i feel & i'm not even done with level 1!

in these photos, i'm not sucking in AT ALL. i'm literally letting it all hang out. i want the most accurate before/after photos i can possibly manage.

    Great results so far! I am just on day 5 of round one for the first time and this is the first day I can actually move. I probably won't take measurements or photos until I am done but I am enjoying feeling stronger and more energetic with each work out.

    You look great! I finished day 10 of level one yesterday, but I had a lot of rest days due to a chest cold that had me super congested. I've lost inches, but I decided to take "official" measurements and photos when I'm on day 5 of level two, so I don't know how many.

    Awesome results!!!! I've just finished my Shred this morning, and I'm so happy with my results...I lost 9.8lbs, 1/2 inch on my neck, 1 inch on each leg, 2 1/2 inches on my waist, 2 inches on my hips, 1 inch on my chest...and I feel so much better. Not sure how to post pics, but they are on my profile if you want to take a look. How do you post pics on these threads???

    Nice progress - keep it up :)
  • I was hoping to start tomorrow, but it didn't come in the mail yesterday like it was supposed to. (I know you can get it on youtube, but I just don't see myself being able to coordinate and feel confident with it on the little screen. Maybe it's just an excuse, I don't know!) I hope it arrives tomorrow.

    Thank you so much for sharing your photos! It's SO motivating!!!

    Great job! I'm about half-way through 6 Week 6 Pack but I've completed 30 DS and Ripped In 30 previously. Jillian rocks!

    Thanks! I'm wondering what to try next...maybe Extreme Shed and Shred or go back to 30 Day Shred. I liked Ripped In 30, too. Maybe try it with heavier weights..

    Ok....THIS has totally motivated me! I tried it a couple weeks ago but my legs were soooooo sore the dAy after...well the following THREE days after that I didn't go back! Pathetic I know after only day 1. I think I pushed myself too hard the first day. You guys totally motivated me again to give it another go! Thanks for that you all look FANTASTIC!

    What do you log for exercise....its harder than an aerobic workout....so I am assuming that it burns more calories?

    I have a heart rate monitor watch,which calculates how many calories i'm burning, and have made up my own categories...as 30 day shred, Ripped in 30 week 1 etc...

    ^^ Heart Rate Monitor is the only way to go for 90% of your workouts. Lifting weights is about the only thing I would think the HRM wouldnt do much good on.
  • my girlfriend got me an hrm for my birthday (on the 20th) & i've since been using it to log all my calories burned. but before that, i would put in "circuit training, general - 20 minutes" & it actually comes very close to what my hrm tells me i'm burning.
