30 Day Shred, a month later! =)

Thank you all for the support!

There are more than 'subtle' differences! You got shredded girl!

Front- your belly doesn't hang over your waistline!
Side- look at the awesome smooth curve of your back, and the nice, well rounded tush! Wowza!

And yeah now I kinda see it LoL thank you!

Great job! I can definitely see a big difference in the side view, your tummy is smaller. I going to start 30DS probably the first of April. Was this your first time to do 30DS? It'll be mine and I'm kinda excited but nervous at the same time.

I did try it once before and only got a few days in. But.this time around being nearly 170lbs and only 5'2" was beyond unacceptable. I got married at 130lbs, i reached 181 while pregnant, and my daughter is now 1yr5months so "baby weight" was no longer an excuse. =\

suble? I see big changes. I love the definition coming out in your belly.

Thanks everyone, i FEEL thinner, and the measurements do boost my confidence, but somehow the pics still kinda scare me.and tell i have a long way to go to where I woukd like to be.
But thank you for your support everyone!

I was afraid to weigh in in February and started to eat lighter. I don't know how much I actually weighed myself at the end of February and it was an awful 169.8, but idk maybe I was even more earlier?
Regardless I am very happy with the progress, maybe I will get to wear a bathing suit this summer

OP, you SHOULD be happy with your progress, you are very noticeably slimmer and more toned. Great job, you are inspiring me to fish out my 30 DS DVD - and maybe I'll stick to it this time....

Oh don't get me wrong I am ecstatic that in almost month I went down 12lbs, but i guess seeing myself everyday *i* saw subtle differences. Now "analyzing" the pics more, i see what you all mean :-)
But thank you

1st, 2nd, and 3rd level are all feasible moves and exercises, but my goodness Jillian was too chatty in the 3rd level which became very annoying LoL

Again thanks ladies for all the motivation, feedback, and support!



My official LAST 30 Day Shred workout today!!!!
Feeling amazing, but i keep playing Pomp and Circumstance in my head LoL

Thanks hun!

1. I still do a lot of modified moves, specially all the planks on level 2. Is that going to give me results? The planks are too hard for me.
Level 3 has several plank moves, amd on somedays i would try my best and follow Nathalie and.some days i would put a lot of effort and follow Anita. Sometimes I would do one round of Nathalie and then one round of Anita. But really reallt push yourself. It's true that when you want to.give up, that's when you're at your peak and should keep pushing.

2.. Did you do 30 days straight or took any rest days in between? I take atleast one day rest .
I honestly wanted to do the 30 days straight, but i actually went.away one weekend so i.skipped 2 days only but continued once I got home.

3. I know you did Zumba along side this work out, i am walking 40/45 uphill downhill 5/6 days a week. Anynguggestion?
I used a Heart Rate Monitor, so the firat few days I started with 30DS i saw I barely.burned about 200cals (even though i was a sweaty beast LoL) so O decided to add Zumba where I burned 300+calories

I am not sure how many inches I have lost on level 1 since I did not take any measurements when I started. But my scale is not moving.
Have some sort of measurement, there were a few days the scale wouldnt move, but the measuring tape did! So that was my motivation. And yes i feel mu body tighter, i started to see a few cuts in my muscles, so even just analyzing your body carefully and.seeing that progress. I am very impatient, i was on my scale every morning. Every 1/4lb or 1/2lb dropped thrilled me and adds up.

Good luck.on your progress and whatever you do just push yourself. I sweating buckets in the last level, but it felt sooo good in the end.
Oh p.s. Please check your food, i tried to incorporate as much protein as i could, and my body was barely sore during these 30 days. In the past i.would be sore for at least a week when beginning a workout regiment. Im not sure.but I think the protein helped.
