Hello! - This will be round 2 for me of 30DS

Options
I just completed a round, January 30 - February 28 and restarted at Level 1 today!

Hoping to encourage others and stay motivated by joining the group. It's tough but SO worth it! I lost 2.2 lbs and almost 8 inches. I was aiming for 10 days at each level but ended up doing about 22-23 days out of the 30 days. This month I plan to power through levels 1 and 2 and I know PMS puts me on my butt so I'll probably end up skipping a day or two later in the month.

I don't know how to get my pics to show up but here's the link to my blog post with my results from Round 1.

    Your results are extremely motivating!! Great work and thank you for the inspiration!! I have my wedding dress waiting for me to pick it up... but I kind of want to get through the 30 days before putting it on to see some real results!

    When you say that you lost 8 inches, can you be more specific? Like, is that the inches from different parts of your body added up? If so, do you mind sharing what the specific inch loss was per section? Just curious :)

    Thank you!!!!!

    Thank you!!! Congrats on your big day! Hopefully the dress fits fabulously! :)

    I lost:

    ~2 inches from bust
    3.5 inches from waist
    1 inch from thigh
    1.5 inches from my hips
    a tiny bit, like 1/4 inch from my bicep

    And I didn't do the shred everyday for 30 days. This time I'm going to try to do 30 full days (10 days at each level).

    What great results! So glad you are starting it again too, that is very encouraging. How bad can it be if you are willing to go back for more right? ;)

    LOL! Exactly Joey! :)

    I was just reading some of my old journals from 3 years ago. At the time I was 167 lbs trying to get to back to 155. Arrgh! So I am ready to do this!

    You are going to feel so accomplished when you see your body changing and feel yourself getting stronger and more fit.

    Let's SHRED people!!!!!

    This will be my second time too. The first one was done in June over 35 days (allowed myself a few break days in there) and I was able to shave 8.5 inches off my body. I'm not sure I'll see as big of a number this time around as I'm just under 15lbs away from my goal weight, but I'm hoping to see some big results.

    There's nothing about the shred that is fun, but it's super fast and works wonders.

    I honestly have to say that the best thing about the shred is that it was a great catalyst for me to get into healthy eating and exercising.

    Great job!
    This is my second round of 30ds as well. After completing it in 40 days (weekends off, a couple days off in the beginning because I was so stiff), I lost 9 pounds and around 14 inches. This workout is perfect for me because I can do it while the little one naps, and I still find it challenging.
    This time around I'm aiming to do all the advanced moves and with heavier weights (I did the last round with 3lb weights).

    Keep up the great work!
