….and here is more proof for you. My results below. Before on the left, after on the right.

There’s not much of a difference between pics – a tiny bit slimmer in the love handles/thigh area. Here’s the kicker – my AFTER pic is 2 lbs HEAVIER.

These are my 30 Day Shred Round 2 results. I did the 30 Day Shred 2 years ago, and decided it was time for a repeat. I have been on my “fitness journey” for over 3 years now. I lost about 20ish pounds 3 years ago, and have been in maintenance for about 2.5 years.

This time the shred took me about 50 days – 50% of the time I was eating at a small deficit (~10%), and watching my macros; and 50% of the time I was eating several hundred over maintenance daily (I was stressed in general, and simply didn’t track). I also ran 8-10 miles a week.

I just wanted to re-iterate the message – take pictures, take measurements…because the scale does not tell the whole story!!!

    I should bash mine, too. I'm just tired of seeing how much weight I'm gaining lately. Great job on your journey!

    I love it!!! I weigh myself daily for the heck of it but I love the measuring tape and loose clothes so much better! :-) Awesome job.

    This is just what I needed to see today. Ugg I wanted to throw my scales out the window last night. I actually felt bad because I took a rest day yesterday.

    Then I remind myself that this isn't a race and there are changes a scale will not show! Thanks OP and great work, you look awesome!

    Thank you all very much!

    And I am happy to host a scale thrashing party, we can do it Office Space style, in a field with hammers.
