30 Day Shred

Options
I'm starting the 30 Day Shred today and I was wondering how it worked for other people? I'm really excited to start it but I'm scared I've got my hopes up too high!

    I am starting today too! After reading all of the posts and seeing all of the pictures on these forums and just google images I decided I have nothing to lose.

    hey, i've been doing the 30 Day Shred on&off for about a month and have lost roughly half a stone! (on/off because of falling ill ect) but it's great :) if you aren't very "fit" at the moment (like i was in the beginning) it may seem like a bit of a challenge to complete the 27 mins, but dont give up! *pause the dvd IF you have too*
    i've seen a huge difference to my stomach area & thighs. im currently doing her other workout videos too (Yoga/6 Week 6 Pack)

    feel free to add & GOOD LUCK you'll enjoy it!!

    I'm on Day 22 (2nd day of Level 3). I measured when I started, at 10 and 20 days, and will measure at 30. I'm not yet confident enough to do the side-by-side comparison, but here's what I earned after 20 days:

    Results since the end of Level 1:
    • Down 4.5 pounds (9.5 since I started The Shred, and 12 total)
    • 1/2" off my neck (1/2" total)
    • 1" off my arms (1" total)
    • 1" off my bust (1" total)
    • 1" off my waist (2" total)
    • 1-1/2" off my hips (2" total)
    • 1-1/2" off my thighs (3" total)
    • 1/2" off my calves (1" total)

    I also went bridesmaid dress shopping this weekend and was able to fit into a dress TWO SIZES smaller than the clothes I currently wear. Confidence is up, energy is up, mood is improved. You have nothing to lose but weight and inches... go for it. :)

    Starting today as well! I guess my question is...Do I still do cardio or other exercises or is the 30 day shred enough. I am 5'3" 134 lbs. I run 5 to 6 days a week for 3 to 5.5 miles. minimal weights or other ab/leg/arm workouts. I know I need to add these however. Also starting eo day squat challenge and 30 day ab challenge. I've been told all I need to do is 30 day shred and I will "feel it"

    You will definitely feel it by just doing the 30 DS but I guess its all up to the individual.
    During phase 1 I did the shred M-F, cardio on Saturday and rest on Sunday. During Phase, which to me focuses a lot on toning, I plan to add in at least 3 cardio days in order to lose lbs along with my inches.
