    The only thing that works is a caloric deficit, exercise just creates a larger deficit.

    30 days isn't very long to notice a miracle. We are talking about a long-lasting solution not a simple yo-yo plan. A 30day shred (whatever this so called shred is) may help you get started but ultimately your eating habits will de the deciding factor in your successful, or not, weight loss.

    The 30 day shred has helped me with toning, especially with my arms and legs. I lost about 5 pounds on it too. I also lowered my calorie intake and did other activities during the week like walking. For a while my body hasn't been losing scale weight, it's losing inches but it's probably different for everyone. I have been alternating several Jillian Micheal's dvds since May and I have to say out of all the workout dvd's I have tried, hers have worked the best. If you like kickboxing, her kickbox fastfix is my favorite of her dvds. It's an exhausting workout but it's only 20 minutes just like the shred.

    Jillian kicks your butt. But it's 80 percent eating and 20 percent exercise.

    if you do it everyday it might. Just search on here there's ton of success stories about it. I am doing it and I try to do it everyday but it doesn't always happen I like that its only 27 minutes. If you use MFP and the video you will see a change but its just the beginning. Oh and don't forget to take measurements because you might not see much change in the scale.

    ^THIS^

    I swapped 45min cardio & weight work outs 5 x a week at the gym for doing JM workouts, starting with the 30DS.
    Look it up on Youtube and try it out!

    There are plenty of threads on the boards of success stories doing the shred, just do a search for "30 day shred results" or "30ds results". As previously stated, it is not a miracle, but it is a good workout. I'm just about half way through and have lost ~5lbs so far. That's actually more than I expected given the amount of muscle I expected to develop. Average weight loss throughout the shred is anywhere from 3-15 lbs depending on what people weighed, what they ate, and how much effort they put in to it.

    ^^ this right here, I can attest to that. I did barely any cardio to reach my current physique.

    May to Current, 172 to 163, lost an average of 1lb of weight per week while keeping most of my lean body mass.

    Also this goes for everyone, if you cut with more than 500 below your maintenance you risk losing some of that hard earned muscle.

    I love the 30 Day Shred! It's really quick, only 20 minutes a day, but its way more effective than just going through the motions at the gym and doing the same old routine. The exercise moves in the DVD work all of your muscles: shoulders, chest, abs, quads, hamstrings, inner/outer thighs, even calf muscles. And it is CHALLENGING!! You know what they say, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!
    I'm almost to Day 15, and I've noticed my thighs are slimmer and my arms have more definition.
    If you want to get sweaty, then DEFINITELY do the 30DS. The other night I was so sweaty I was sliding around on the floor, trying to get back up! Lol! Sweat is fat crying, though, so it's awesome!

    Yes! Abs are made in the kitchen more than the gym! You have to feed your muscles good stuff and fuel your fat-burning metabolism!

    Yes. If you can get past Jillian Michaels' annoying personality, it's actually an awesome work out. And once you get accustomed to the circuit, my DVD lets you turn off her voice and just hear music while you do it! Win-win!

    ^^^ I agree with all of the above.

    I've had very good results -- within two weeks my mom said I looked slimmer. I paired it with diet and also I run 5 miles/day. You don't burn a ton of calories on it, but it's a great 20 minute circuit workout! I LOVE it.
