Finished 30 Day Shred

Did you try Turbo Fire? (I bought it, but I have to start smaller to get my heart into shape) Overall, it looked like a great program and I cannot wait until my heart is in shape enough to do it!

I started doing the banish fat and boost metabolism by jillian. It is intense. I love it.

i'm looking at starting the 30DS tomorrow so those that finished this - what did you lose in terms of both weight & inches?

i knoiw 20lbs probably wont happen (lol wishful thinking) but i'd ideally love 7lbs if possible

I imagine you were asking the OP this, but I'll answer for myself, with stats from both programs (I pulled the info from a blog entry I wrote last year).
"I started 30 Day Shred April 3 and finished it May 12. I then began Ripped in 30 on May 22 and am finishing it today, June 28. Here are my stats from the beginning of Shred until now:

If anyone's done both Ripped in 30 and 6 Week 6 Pack, can you compare the two? I'm also finishing 30 Day Shred tomorrow and want to move on to another Jillian routine. I'm considering alternating pure cardio on the elliptical with a JM work-out and originally thought 6W6P would be better (do want to concentrate somewhat on the abs/belly area), but here and in online reviews it looks like Ripped in 30 gets more enthusiasm. Thoughts?

Depending on your fitness level, I think that doing RI30 before 6W6P is a good idea. 6W6P was a good bit more difficult, IMO anyway, than RI30. I really didn't LIKE 6W6P, but once I committed, I was getting it finished. It did some good things for me, stronger core, my abs are better, but I still have belly flab, and I even followed 6W6P with Killer Abs! lol Oh, and I now wear a size 4, WITH belly flab. Abs are made in the kitchen... I would need to eat much "cleaner" than I do to get rid of it. Anyway, if you want to do 6W6P and you think you're ready for it, go for it. But doing RI30 first will probably help... One of the main things I didn't like about 6W6P was that it was just two workouts & you were to do each of them for 3 weeks. That sucks for me. I wrote about it in my blog, along with my other Jillian programs. If you're interested, the link is up above.

Thanks, Mariposa. I did read your blog and congrats on the results! I also bore easily and am not naturally inclined to look forward to working out. So I might just go with RI30 first. I do appreciate the circuit variety a whole lot. And even thought I've lost a lot of weight so far and didn't have any issues getting thru 30DS, I'll take your advice and gradually work up to 6W6P by starting with RI30. Thanks for your help!
