    i see a difference. I think the ones who see major changes are those with more to lose and those who ate 1200 cals!!! I did the program a few times and i saw little changes every time, nothing huge either. I also only lose inches never any lbs! i did 30ds 3 times, rin30 twice, stopped after 1 week on my 3rd round of it to start slim in 6. Now i am on chalean extreme, again i just finished 30 days of it and took my pics and only saw very subtle changes. nothing to rave about.... but it's all those little bits here and there that add up to my end / final result, right....

    30 DS on its own is not enough; try adding in 6 week six pack or banish fat boost metabolism or problem zones by her, theyre much longer and more intense :)

    also try doing some body weight strength excercises a few times a week. i know people may be skeptical but you DONT need a gym or to lift heavy to get results, as long as you are doing the right body weight excercises. pushups , done with correct form are EXCELLENT, try diamond pushups for triceps, wide arm for shoulders and back, etc. start on your knees and gradually you can progress and do them with legs up on a chair for more challenge. if you keep your core stable, and really push it until you literally give out on your last set, i guarantee you will get results :)

    i have to disagree, i did 30ds on it's own and i thought it worked just fine... each to thier own. it all depends on how much time someone has daily to exercise and if you want to get into exercise that you can maintain for life with or not. I know so many that went so hard core and was doing crazy amounts of exercise to lose their weight faster but in reality they knew they wouldn't keep that up for the rest of their life as who has the time.... so do what you can and be happy that you are just taking the step to exercise and trying to change something :)

    Thanks for the replies. Glad it sounds there are at least a person or 2 that feel like I do. For those that asked for pics, here they are. I was not kidding when there was no visible difference.

    do you really not see a difference in your legs?! I can totally tell! And your back is.. smoother (for lack of better words) keep at it and like someone else said maybe try a different workout :) and add weights it you didnt already!!

    I can see a difference in your pictures. It might not be as distinguished as some people's but the change is there.

    I am also doing the 30 DS, I'm on Level 3, Day 3.
    I lost about 3lb the first week and noticed a difference in my body, but any change seems to have stalled after that.

    I haven't been consistent in my food in take or the exercise, as I've had to take days off here and there. I'm still happy with the change in my energy levels since starting the 30DS though.

    if you really want to see results maybe do the NMTZ and BFBM alternately...just a suggestion. :)

    You're getting very good results. You simply don't understand how to interpret them.
  • I am not losing anymore weight than I normally do, depending on diet. I work out in the gym every day in the morning (about 80 min; every other day I do 20 min of weights/machines, so 20 min less of cardio) and do the DVD at night. I did Level 1 for 7 days and just finished day 13 of Level 2. (I didn't find her ab exercises challenging at all since I've been doing abs for so long, but a lot on the DVD was pretty challenging.) While the weight hasn't changed, I know I've been working different muscle groups than I usually do and have become stronger in those areas than before. The double jump ropes KILLED my calves (after the same results in Level 1) and the V-flys were nutso-difficult (the only reason I stayed at that level for so long; I wanted to do an entire workout with that exercise at Natalie-level!). Also, I had to use 5 lbs. weights the entire time, as that's all I have and it looks like they use 2 or 3 lbs. in the video. Hopefully, Level 3 will prove the key to losing lbs, as others have stated. The only thing that really works for me at this stage with pushing the weigh loss is no carbs (plus Cool Whip--go figure). That is it, really. Keep it up! :)
  • I've been doing it for eleven days now and even though I haven't lost any weight yet, my clothes sure are fitting better.

    When I did 30DS I only lost inches not pounds. And it actually helped me feel more in shape to start other more difficult workouts
