    WOW! You are my inspiration!!!!! I'm saving this thread so I can look back :-) I had my 2nd baby 6 months ago and I've just started 30 day shred last week. I'm also running now and doing Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis 90 day program. I've dropped 3 sizes in 2 months and plan to try to drop 2 more sizes at least. I have the belly like in your original photo, good to know I can lose that with working out.

    Did you do any other workouts besides the jillian dvd's?

    DKNY, no that was it! I only did that 30 min workout almost everyday, took a day or two off a week.
    I am a lazy person by nature and doing those 30 minutes was A LOT for me :tongue:

    But they delivered and i am very satisfied. Other people did more cardio workouts and they had even better results.

    Congrats on the baby! :flowerforyou:
    and good luck!!! If you need any suggestion or advice I can gladly help out

    Thank you. You're so sweet. :-) It's a lifestyle change for me as well. I never lost the weight after my first baby, so this time I figured I had to kick the weight to the curb once and for all and not get lazy about it. lol. I am exhausted and work out 7 days a week right now taking breaks from 1 of 3 workouts when I can once or twice a week. I get discouraged easily if I dont see results so I figured the best way is to do it hardcore and the results are amazing so far. My only worry is that Jillian dvd's are to hard on knees and my knees arent what they used to be before the 2nd baby.

    Great job! Now I'm super motivated to restart my JM videos after having my baby 5 months ago. I attempted it but I wasn't consistent. You've totally re-motivated me!

    TOTALLY agree! I did recommend it to a couple of friends and some of them said: "I hate her"
    I was like: Who cares, she delivers! Just mute the sound

    i've had the BEST results from 30ds. I also had great results from Extreme Shed and Shred. I got through month 2 of Body Revolution but didn't see the results I saw from 30ds. I'm starting 30ds again tomorrow for the month of June. Plus after seeing your results, I can't wait to do another round :)

    I agree, my most drastic results were with the 30 day shred, with the other DVD changes were minimal. But i did lose inches and gained A LOT more muscles!
    I am planning on doing another round of 30 day shred - not sure when tho!

    Thanks for the motivation!!! Way to go. I'm attempting to do JM 90 Day Body Revolution and I can't seem to get past weeks 1 and 2. I'm not consistant and I'm frustrated with my lack of motivation. My head and my body don't always agree with each other and seeing your results is giving me the umpf to get out of bed in the morning. I'm a working mom of two so I have to get up before everyone else and work out or it is just simply game over for me. How do you fit in yoru 30 minutes? What motivated you in the begining to keep going? It is so much mind over matter and I'm trying to figure out how sucessful people do it!! :flowerforyou:

    The difference is that i dont have kids, which means i have the time. I actually have a lot of time on my hands.
    My firt motivations was fitting in a dress i bought for my friends wedding and te second looking good for my wedding next year. Once i strted the 30 day shred i did not know what to expect but i kept going, only because i hate quitting. It ached and it was hard but by level 2 i felt a big difference and that kept me going till at the end after i finished it i compared pictures and i was stunned! I knew te workout works and decided i had the time and continued and here i am, still going strong 4 months later!

    You look great! I finished 30 day shred and only saw slight results (inches not pounds) and I didn't like Ripped in 30 very much so I never finished it. I have considered getting 6 week 6 pack.

    That is AWESOME! I really love the success stories that show you don't have to lose a lot of weight to make a huge body transformation! Many people get so discouraged when they don't see the scale go down.

    I really like 30DS and Ripped in 30, too! They are kick-*kitten* routines.

    That's the tummy I'm looking for!

    Fabulous job! Wish I had the motivation to stick with those things... but I'm having a lot of health issues and they all focus around my tummy at the moment - getting food allergen tested soon to try and solve some problems. Once my digestive tract is squared away - I'm going to try something like this!

    Wonderful results!! I have started 30 day shred twice and did it for 5 days each time. It is really hard on my back and knees, (I am 49 years old). I guess maybe I should suck it up and get er' done!

    Thanks for the motivation!

    Great job, you look fantastic!!

    I had similarly great results with the JM dvds- it took 7 months, but I lost all the baby weight plus 10 lbs and am more fit than I've ever been in my life. I probably could have done it in less time, but I am still breastfeeding and have to eat a lot.

    I always get teased about being the Jillian infomercial, but it seriously works if you stick with it and push yourself.

    Congrats on your new and improved bod!

    I wish those dvds helped me. I can't stand doing the same workout over and over. I get so bored and end up quitting because I'm so bored of doing the same thing.

    If she had a series of workouts more like Insanity when you're doing different workouts every day I'd be more inclined to do it. I know she has a new system out but it's too much money for me right now.

    I just started with level one of the 30 day shred. I'm 51 years old and it is a killer on my knees - I got through it and plan to continue. I modified the movements for me, but hope as I keep doing it my knees will not hurt. That is my goal for now. You are a true inspiration - of course a lot younger then me, but an inspiration.

    OP, fabulous results, very motivating.

    For people whose knees are hurting. I had knee surgery 7 months ago and I finished D8L1 this morning. I was starting to get outer knee pain during the jumping jacks. I realized when I was doing the side lunges with the arm raises that my knees were going further than my ankles in the side lunges, because that was when I felt the pain. I fixed this by taking a wider stance and that helped the pain. I also march in place instead of jump rope.

    Has anyone else noticed that Natalie doesn't always use the best form?
