    My 30 Day Shred Before and After

    edited January 18 in Success Stories
    Hi Everyone!

    When I started 30 Day Shred I couldn't get enough of other people's before and after pictures--they were great motivation for me! So I wanted to make sure I took some as well.

    I started 30DS on February 11th and finished yesterday (March 17th). I took I believe 4 rest days spread out in there, and did each level for 10 days.

    Quick background: I'm 33 and 5'6.5. My highest weight ever was 254. I started MFP at 238. Got down to 181, got pregnant, got back to it, and am currently at 174. I ran my first 5K in February, and realized in the process how incredibly flabby I was! I wanted to do something to firm up, so I picked 30DS. I loved it! Ok, well, I hated it some days, but NOW I love it! :) I still have about 25-30 pounds to lose, but I am very happy with my 30DS results. Here they are:

    Weight: Down 7.8 pounds
    Body Fat Percentage (I used an estimating calculator so who knows, but I did use the same calculator both times): Down 8.6%
    Arms: Stayed the same (Boo bat wings! Go away!)
    Bust: -2.5 inches
    Bra band: -1.5 inches
    Natural Waist: -1.5 inches
    Belly button: -4.5 inches (This is one of my biggest problem areas--YAY!)
    Hips: -3.75 inches (My OTHER biggest problem area--DOUBLE yay!)
    Thighs: -1.75 inches

    Here are my pictures (I forced myself not to suck it in either time! Yikes!):

      These are the best 30DS before and after I've seen. Did you do any other cardio/strength training outside of the DVD?

      Thank you so much, that is so nice!! I did not do anything else other than keeping at my calorie goal (most days haha--nobody's perfect! :bigsmile: ). And thanks again to everyone, I really appreciate the kind words! :flowerforyou:
