I'm on day 6 of the 30 day shred and I'm curious as to what kind of results others have seen with this program. I'm still on level 1 for the most part, but I have tried out level 2. It is definitely easier now than when I first started, though I still don't think the ab work is enough. However, at my weigh in today, I only weighed .6 less than I did last Friday. I know I'm gaining muscle and that weighs more, but it is still discouraging. I have been under my calories all week. Is the 30 day shred worth it? Does it really produce the results it promises? Any advice??

    I feel exactly the same way! I've only lost 1lb and I've been doing it for a week now. I did go down 2% in my body fat but I'm just not sure if it's worth it. I feel really good when I work out, but I'm not seeing the results. The only advice I can give is stick with it because I know i'm going to. I figure it's better than what I usually do, and that's nothing. Good Luck to you :)

    Stay with it! I'm on day 25 - the results really started to come about two weeks in. And don't worry about the ab work - she will rip them up in level 2 and 3. I had a baby 3 and a half months ago and I can see my near-6 pack. Impressive. Eat the calories recommended for weightloss for you - try not to be under. You've got to fuel your body to get it to work for you.:smile:

    Definitely. At lower levels of weight loss like both of you need, it's going to come off slowly. most of jillian's stuff works pretty well if you work it.

    Thanks for all the positive words! I'm still trying to lose the baby weight from both my babies - my oldest will be 4 in November, youngest will be 2 in April. I can't wait to have my baby pooch gone and see some abs again! 911girl - you give me hope! Level 1 is definitely easier now than when I first started. Last night I got through the whole thing without stopping and even double timed some of the exercises because it was too easy. Plan on starting level 2 tonight! Good luck to all of you!!

    I'm starting 30 day shred after I finish a round of Turbo Fire. I'm really looking forward to it after hearing this.

    I'm on day 20 of the shred right now! Im down about 4lbs.. from 138 to 134ish...

    I really wish I would have measured before i started. I didnt measure until day 12 and when i measured last night at day 19 im already down a total of 2 inches (legs, arms and hips)

    I definitely think it is worth it! Cant wait to see my final results after 30 days! I feel so much stronger and much more toned!

    I did my first round of level 2 last night! It was definitely time to move up - it was a much more challenging workout! It's such an accomplishment to know that a week and a half ago, I would never have been able to keep up. I got tired just watching the video! Now I can tell I'm stronger and less winded during the workout. Thanks to everybody for the inspiration! Keep it up:smile:

    AmandaC - What is turbo fire? I haven't heard of that before?
    Jessica J - Keep up the good work!
    babygirl2010 - Wow! That is amazing!! What otherDVD's did you use? Did you do them at the same time as 30 day shred?

    I'm on day 12 and seeing a bit of a difference. I know I have a lot more energy, and I can see my muscles toning, so I have high hopes for the last half!

    If I remember correctly I'm on day 22 of doing 30DS. I did level 1 for 6 days and level 2 for 12 days (cuz level 2 kicks butt, omg!) and I've been working on finishing up. I can't say whether I've lost alot of weight from doing 30DS. I usually only do it 2-3 times a week and the other days I just go running, plus I usually go running after I do 30DS since it's so short. I can say that I've noticed it's effects on my body. I am much more toned than if I had just been running the whole time. My stomach is looking awesome (other than the little pooch that doesn't want to go away on top) and it's crazy when I put my hair up in front of the mirror that I see muscles in my arms! I'm really glad I decided to do the dvd and once I finish with 30DS I plan to move on to her other dvds. I know No More Trouble Zones kicks butt too!

    I'm thinking about buying this DVD. How much room do I need to do it adequately? I live in a small flat in London so I don't have loads of space. I'm also concerned about my downstairs neighbors but hey, their twins are up at 6 every day they can cope!

    I started this DVD yesterday and good grief, my arms are killing me today! I have no idea how I am going to manage pushups or the weights today, but I know I need to push myself! Reading the other stories on here gives me motivation that it does actually work!
