So I started a 30 Day Shred Challenge on a message board over the summer. In 5 weeks, with the 30 day shred, making better decisions about what I was eating and walking for 30 minutes a few days a week, I lost a total of 27 pounds... in 5 weeks, and it was just in time for my summer vacation. I was stoked. After vacation I couldn't get back into working out like I had been with the 30 days Shred and the walking. Since September I have been able to maintain my weight loss which is amazing to me... I was soooo nervous that I would put it all back on and quick with how fast it came off.

Anyways, now I am back again for another round of the Shred and hope to see similar results! Just finished day two of level one!

Check out my profile to see my before and after pics from the first time I did the Shred... I can't seem to figure out how to post them in a message board post.

ETA: This is the link to the full story. Kisha was the owner of the 30 day shred group where I did the challenge this summer.

    Great job! I wasn't able to lose so much so quickly but I can definitely see a difference in my endurance and inches. I am almost done with level 3 and I think I will start again too but this time try the harder versions. Keep it up! The difference is great =)

    I already feel more energetic and I am only on day two! I just need to find something else to add into the mix that doesnt involve the outdoors... i miss my walking for 30 minutes throughout the week but it is just too dang cold to do it in the mornings and too dark by the time I am done with my daycare kiddies. Suggestions?

    I got the dvd and 3lb hand weights as an early Christmas gift from my sister on Sunday and have done it everyday but one and LOVE it. It's weird, because I had some doubts about other threads where I read about it but i do feel a difference already :bigsmile:

    That was my problem for years, not being able to find the time, especially after becoming a mom. This is quick and easy to pop in the DVD player while the kids are napping. 25 minutes, 25 minutes, i just keep telling myself I can find 25 minutes to get it done! It worked the last time, hope to keep it up again this time! Ive got a local shredding buddy who I hope will help to keep me on track too!

    Good luck with it! Take measurements! You may see results in your measurements before you do with the scale!

    That's awesome! I actually have the 30 day shred and have used it from time to time throughout the week using it only 1 or 2 days a week with other workouts like Zumba and the treadmill ect. but haven't strictly used it for 30 days. I might have to try using it more and see if I can get good results. I bought my 30 day shred through Amazon.com. I'm happy to hear and think that it's awesome that you've gotten such great results! 27lbs. in 5 weeks is really awesome! You did it the first time, you can definately do it again! :)

    I gained a little weight after starting it, but I gather that's from my muscles retaining water in order to repair? Wonder how long that lasts.

    Well, since you like her, you might want to add one of her other DVD's. She's got three new ones, Shred It With Weights, Yoga Meltdown and Six Week Six Pack. You can trying adding those or one of her older ones: Banish Fat, Boost Matabolism or No More Trouble Zones. They are all hard and would challenge you.

    If you like Cardio and a Class envirorment you might like Turbo Fire. I have it and I love it. It's a cardio DVD program you do at home. It's from beachbody.com and I've lost all my weight by using their programs. P90X, Insanity, Power90, Rev Abs, Turbo Fire & P90X+. I work out in my own home and have no gas money expense to get to a crowed gym. I love it. Let me know if you'd like more info or help.

    You're the second person that suggested this to me and I'm definately going to look into it. For now I am sticking to the 30 day shred and walking. I started on 11/13 and take Sunday's off. It is not a 30 day program for me (LOL, I'm just not that fit!!) but I moved to level 2 three days ago and my goal is to do level 3 in Janurary. (of course I'll move up sooner if I feel ready, but so far this is kicking my butt! :laugh: )

    I did the video at least 3-4 times a week, some weeks more. It def was not everyday! And no, I moved to the next level when I felt comfortable enough to do so... I think by the end of the 5 week challenge I was doing, I only had done 2 or 3 days of level 3. The first time I did level 2 I though I was going to throw up... but I finished and it got easier and easier each time! I didnt mix it up, just moved up when i felt like i needed to be challenged a bit more.

    I did Power 90 some in college and had good results. Is what you are talking about something that can be done in about a half an hour? Time is my biggest concern with my own kids and I provide childcare out of my home too. How long are the newer Power 90 programs?

    Hello Everybody...I'd love to join your thread! Sounds like most of you are in the same boat I am...30DS fits into my schedule so much better than P90x right now!!!

    I started my second round of P90x 3 weeks ago but with grad school taking over my life and teaching all day long on top of that...I had no time to fit in an hour (sometimes hour+) workout. Back to 30DS I go!

    Starting Monday I think I'm going to do 30DS to get through the year and then hopefully start up P90x (lean version) in January.

    I'm also tempted to buy Insanity...anybody try that? LIke it? dislike it? I need LOTS of cardio and thought it might be the next step for me!
