FINISHED 30 Day Shred- looking for next step

    Thanks for all positive feedback! I started 30DS and did it for a week, then quit for about a month. I picked it up again from the beginning and did what i read Jillian recommends (two days Shred, one day cardio, two days shred, one day cardio, one day rest) I also did a 1300 calorie diet and I have two little boys (so lots of extra activity around there!). I also don't drink any calories (and no soda) except for an occasional chocolate milk (like, once every other week), I limit desserts to three nights a week, and all my snacks are fruits or veggies. For breakfast I religiously eat one or two eggs.

    So it actually took me longer than 30 days using the above schedule. My body builds muscle and loses weight fairly easily. I didn't figure out exactly how many calories I was burning; I just logged it as calisthenics for 20 minutes. I had two pretty big babies (about 9 lbs. each at birth) in the past three years, so my abs and stomach were destroyed.

    I am 5'9". My before / after measurements are:

    weight: 167# / 153#
    waist: 37" / 32.5"
    hip: 43" / 41"
    thigh: 25" / 23"
    arm: 12.5" / 11.75"
    bust: 37" / 34" (I stopped nursing during this period of time)

    I'm thinking about doing the six week abs. Insanity still seems a little rough right now, haha. I do like Jillian. Maybe a yoga dvd would be a good change of pace, too.

    I ordered the shred, ripped in thirty and a couple of others. How did you measure the calories you burned?
    When I asked, people told me to count it as circuit training. I use 20 minutes for the time as some of it is warm-up and cool down time.

    Ohh my God, you look amazing. I am doing Jillian's Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism. I am also trying to eat around 1200 calories. I have a 5 month old baby too, who I am breat feeding. Hope I can look half and good as you. You are a real inspiration.

    Nurse that baby! It made such a huge difference in helping my body recover from birth.

    I am doing her Body Revolution (a friend gave it to me). I just started week one- the exercises are easier than shred, but I am still sore (it is set up to build in intensity slower than shred- it ets much harder with each DVD). It is nice doing different workouts during the week versus the same one over and over (do workout 1&2 a total of 4 times then in next to 3&4) then the same cardio the whole month. I really like it- she shows multiple levels of difficulty and you work with a lot of different sizes of weights. I am not doing her diet because of breastfeeding, but still hope for some good results.

    have you tried Jillians Ripped in 30? I think its a little more advanced than 30DS. Or pretty much any of her dvds are good.

    I've heard good things about P90X and Insanity too.

    I didn't, really; I just logged it as calisthenics.

    I just have to say you look amazing! Great job!
    Did you do the 30 day shred for the 30 days or longer?

    I'd still like to lose about 10 lbs. and get my tummy and thighs tighter
    If you want to tone tummy and thighs, you can try Jillian's Killer Buns and Thighs and 6week6Pack abs, maybe alternating them so you don't get bored :-)

    Thanks! I just ordered that one. It looks good!

    I did what I had read Jillian recommended which was 2 days of the shred, one day cardio, 2 days of the shred, one day cardio, rest day. It takes more like 45 days that way.

    Great results! How about Jillian's Ripped in 30?

    This is what I just started after finishing 30 Day Shred. This is new for me, though. So I don't have any real feedback yet.

    Wow..you look great.I too suggest Jillian's 30 day Ripped.I am currently doing the shred too,am on my 4th day.Did you combine it with any other exercise for your weight loss?

    Every third day I substituted a cardio exercise for my shred workout. Usually it was speed walking behind my double stroller. I also lowered my caloric intake to the 1200-1300 range. I wasn't very strict about it, the main thing was just to get it down. I also ate a LOT of protein, eggs especially. And I don't drink soda and eat a lot of sweets because of a heart condition I have, so I don't eat a lot of sugar either.

    I'm doing Jillian Michaels killer buns and thighs after doing 30 day shred. It's amazing and very difficult. The results are fantastic.

    AWESOME RESULTS!!!! I am currently in Phase 2 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and I LOVE IT! I have done P90X and some of Insanity among many others and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, JMBR the best!!! The thing that I like is that it only requires a 1/2 hour a day.... if you have time to do more, there is the cardio for a second workout (I usually squeeze 3-4 of those in a week). In the first month, I lost 16 lbs and 8.5 inches. The difference in toning is indescribable! Try it - you will love it! I do a 30DS workout once in a while as a little extra and that will be next for me. I'm excited after seeing your results. check out the Jillian Michaels message boards for more info :)
