The Ultimate Before and After 30 Day Shred Thread

coquetona · June 2011

I see a lot of people that have completed the 30 day shred and have posted their success stories. I thought it would be very motivating to have a thread dedicated to the results people see from their journey through the 30 day shred. Whether it's before and after pictures, how your measurements/weight has changed since you started or simply your general insight of how you felt after you finished the program. Share your success! You have earned it!!!

*I have about three weeks left on the program but will post pictures and stats when I'm finished.

Here are my results:

Started March 16
Bust: 34
Waist: 30.5
Hips: 39
Weight:140

Completed on April 18
Bust: 33 - a loss of 1 inch
Waist: 28 - a loss of 2.5 inches
Hips: 37 - a loss of 2 inches
Weight: 132.6 - a loss of 7.4 lbs

I wish I would have taken some other measurements like arms/legs/neck, but that hadn't really occured to me before I started.

I am 5'6" - and the 30DS was really the only workout I was following. I did 10 days at each level with a few rest days spread out here and there. Wasn't doing any other extra exercises, etc. I was following a 1200 calorie diet as well.

Black suit is BEFORE and Zebra suit is AFTER.

Great idea!!

I did it for 30 consecutive days (which I still can't believe I didn't miss a day!!). I also did the C25K program three times a week, and Zumba twice a week. As well as some biking and walking in there, too.

I lost 5.5 lbs, 3" off my waist and 3.5" off my hips.

I don't have photos from Day 1 of my back, but here's Day 10 (after Level 1)

SheilaSisco · June 2011

I did the Shred for 32 days (I missed 2 in there due to scheduling conflicts and sickness...) I lost 4 1/2 pounds and a total of 9 inches between my underbust, waist and hips. I think I want to get Ripped in 30 and try it next. She's tough, but I gotta admit, I love Jillian...

This is a good idea for anyone doing 30DS. There are pictures of me floating around here somewhere, but here are my measurements. It took me about 6 weeks to complete the program.

Chest: 44 - 42 = -2

Waist: 39.5 - 37 = -2.5

Hip: 45 - 42 = -3

Thigh: 23 - 21.5 = -1.5

Arm - 13.5 - 13 = -.5

Total inches lost: 9.5 inches all over

My total weight loss was 11.6 (from 171.6 to 160.0)

Can someone tell me about the 30 day shred...I am going away on vacation next month and would really like to lose some inches as well as 15-25 pounds!

moniew24 · June 2011

OMG, looking at these pics definitely gave me the boost I need. You all look amazing.

maddymama · June 2011

I don't have pics... but I started the 30 Day Shred in January. Two weeks into it, I started the Couch to 5K. I lost 10 lbs in the first month.... and another 5 by the end of the 30 days. AMAZING.
I really like the 30 Day Shred, and am working through Ripped in 30 on my non-runing/cross training days.

30 Day Shred is by Jillian Michaels and is one of her ciruit training programs. She does a quick 5 minute warm up, then 3 curcuits with 3 minutes strength training, two minutes cardio, and 1 minute abs... for a total of 18 ish minutes hard. Then a 5 minute cool down. There are three levels on the DVD. It is a killer DVD.

Is that what' is being advertised at the top of the page where I see her pictures? Is it available in stores or only online?

You guys are doing amazingly well. I will be closing school next week, and it sounds like just the thing to get my butt in gear. I have gravity working against me (LOL), but if I can do half as well as you younger ladies, I will be well pleased.

cangel81603 · June 2011

wow awesome results ladies. Maybe I should try this:)

moniew24 · June 2011

Does anyone know approximately how many calories it burns or is it considered high impact aerobics? Any advise would help.

Imsojen · June 2011

I use the circuit training, general in the exercise list but you should really use a hrm if you want to know exactly how many cals you are burning...

Rayanne203 · June 2011
