I am super happy to report that I've completed 30 Day Shred (7 days ago actually). Even though the changes in my shape became less dramatic after Level 1, I am extremely satisfied with the final result. The most noticeable difference is definitely on the top of my body, but I think my legs are in a much better shape as well. In fact, while I look pretty much the same after Level 3 as I did after Level 2, I think that my saddlebags situation has somewhat improved. I've lost the total of 5.5 pounds since beginning the workout. Judging from my pics, however, I am fairly certain that if I hadn't gained some muscles the number would have been more impressive. The best part, of course, is that the transformation I’ve seen does not end with looks: I feel stronger than I have ever had and have seen an absolutely amazing improvement in my endurance. While I still have a long way to go before I actually start enjoying this type of exercise, I am at a point when I no longer hate it, which is more than I could have asked for.

Thanks everyone for your support!
