Hello everyone! I'm Annie, I'm 20 years old, 5'6 I weigh 11st. 10 lbs and I am currently on day 6 (level 1) of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!

I was hoping for some 30 day shred success stories to help motivate me as I'm rubbish at sticking to things but this is something I really really want to do!

I need to lose about 2 stone to be within my healthy BMI but at the moment I'm not worrying too much about the scales but really want to see my body changing!

How long did it take you to see results / notice changes in your body? Was it around the half-way mark? Did more inches/pounds come off in the last ten days compared to the rest of the time?

Any motivation you can give would be soooo great! Thank you :)!!!

    I have done 30 Day Shred for a month and saw huge difference, but I'm really overweight to start with. You can see my results from my profile pictures. I lost mine weekly and saw most of the results around my hip/waist area which is great!

    Wow! That's such an incredible transformation, well done! I'm definitely motivated by your results !! My ultimate ultimate goal would also be 140lbs too !

    When did you notice the inches coming off most? Was it around the middle of the 30 days or towards the end :)?

    At 3 weeks - noticeably different. At 2 weeks I can feel the difference but my mark was 3 weeks when my pants weren't supported anymore by my muffin tops and I have to actually use some belts :)

    At 4 weeks I have to add another hole to my Large belt so I can still wear my size 14 pants, but I'm able to fit in my size 12 but not comfortably yet. Hope this helps!

    This is very inspiring thank you !! I really hope my results end up as fantastic as yours have been! Did you take measurements or photos or just go by how your clothes fitted? I have taken some before photos but not measured anything yet!

    Really inspiring though thank you !

    I'm on day 3 of 30 day shred and I have 2 stone to lose too! I'm enjoying it so far, but I've never 'worked out' before (my exercise has always been walking, bike ride etc). My muscles ache like crazy - I could hardly walk down the stairs yesterday! :smile:

    Hi gals

    I did 30 day shred a few years ago and really noticed a difference but I'm afraid I can't remember how much I lost! I've also done 6 week 6 pack which REALLY helped the waist/tummy area.

    I'm 5'5" and 12 stone....also looking to lose 2 stone!!! Have been thinking about adding in some JM DVDs to my exercise routine (I run, swim & kickbox - you'd think I'd be thin, eh....but no, I'm fit & fat!!!!). Anyway, got a busy half term hols with my kids so might join you all on Monday for some JM workouts....I have 30DS, 6wk6pk and ripped in 30 (I've not tried this yet!)....might do a mash up of them all so as not to get bored with the same thing.

    Good Luck!!!!

    Hey! I completed the 30DS twice a couple of years ago and lost about 8 inches and 5lbs each time and I must say I absolutely swear by it. :)

    I found most of weight-loss happened at the week 3 mark, but I'm sure it's different for everyone.

    I've put some weight back on so I currently doing it again. Today's my 7th day. I hope you don't mind if I add you. I figure we could motivate each other seeing as we're both at the same point! :)

    Hi, I lost quite a few pounds and inches doing this back in July/August along with using MFP for careful food logging -can't remember exact results but have them written down somewhere. Where I really think it was most successful at kick starting my new exercise regime using a range of DVDs combined with walking, hiking, swimming etc and have used a range of both Jillian Michaels and Davina McCall mainly DVDs since - I am constantly full of energy these days. Keep at it, I found level 2 a big jump up but just keep going, it's so worth it :)

    Those that have completed 30 DS....do you do the workout on consecutive days? It seems contradictory to everything I though I knew about strength training...i.e, not training the same muscles 2 days in a row, etc. I've decided to do M-W-F, but in that case it will take me 60 days to complete, right?

    You're right, it is contradictory to what you know about strength training, but it is more about cardio with light weights, then strength training. If you follow through, you'll see the results, but to get the promised results you should do the video 5 to 6 days a week.

    You can try mixing up the levels; increasing your weights and the number of days you do the harder workouts as you go.

    For example, I've done something like this.
    Day-1, level-1
    Day-2, level-2
    Day-3, level-1
    Day-4, Rest
    Day-5, level-1
    Day-6, level-2
    Day-7, level-1
    Day-8, Rest
    Day-9, level-2
    Day-10, level-1
    Day-11, level-2
    Day-12, Rest
    Day-13, level-2
    Day-14, level-1
    Day-15, level-2
    etc.

    I've completed it twice. This last time I lost 15lbs!! In the first week was the most, second week the least. I did 10 days of level 1 then a rest day then 10 days of level 2 then a rest day and then 10 days of level 3. I'm now doing Ripped in 30. Good luck!!

    There is a group of us that just started 30ds on monday! I've never really seen noticeable changes but I always feel so good when I do 30ds. @mizztanjo‌ might be able to get you into our group. I've also seen some Pintrest posts about the ultimate jm workouts which has a month of workouts utilizing more than one of her videos. If I can ever finish a month of 30ds (I unfortunately loose ambition) I'm going to try the workout routine there.

    I really do swear by 30 day shred. I bought it to get in shape for my wedding a couple years ago and have used it since as I know it works. I had my daughter in November and started the dvd again in January. I took pics this time and am glad I did, I noticed a difference in two weeks. I do it 3-5 times a week, not every day.

    Hi guys, I do JM Extreme shed and shred for 3weeks now and I have lost 3kg. I know it is not much but people already noticed difference. I am losing cm which is more important for me. Good luck to everyone!

    Hi everyone!
    Really great to read your success stories, and to 'meet' others doing 30DS and other JM programs. I've only done 3 days so far and I am quite achy, I've had a rest day after 2 days as I am usually shattered after work. Not a morning person either so evening workout suits better. I 'think' I am noticing more definition in the arms and a tighter tum/waist. Going to do 10 days at each level :)
    I can relate to having a sweet tooth, thankfully this week I've not been as bad. I started taking a metabolism supplement with chromium in it, I think it helps the cravings. x
    Let's keep pressing play!

    I'm currently at day 10 - starting level 2 today - and I haven't noticed any changes at all. My weight is even higher than at the start, but I don't want to sound unmotivating. I even thoughtabout stopping today, but no, I can do this, we all can. Good luck :smile:
