Any success from 30 day shred

I only lost about 7 lbs, but I lost about 13 total inches in waist, arms, legs and chest.
The first 2 weeks I gained weight (about a lb/week). I re-measured after 2 weeks and had lost 9 total inches.
I did not do it 30 days straight, I had some lingering knee issues from a previous injury and spread the shred over 42 days.

I did not lose much weight, but I lost A LOT of inches. I say go for it, take "before" measurements and pictures, you'll be glad you did!

You're only going to lose 20 lbs in 30 days if you create a deficit of 70,000 calories over the course of the month. Doing the Shred alone is not going to burn that many calories, even if you do it every day. You have to help that deficit along by tracking your calories. ALSO, you're not going to lose 20 lbs in 30 days if ALL you are trying to lose is 20 lbs. It's not healthy to lose the weight that fast if that's all you have to lose. Now, if you have like 100 lbs to lose, it might be possible. Basically, the more weight you have to lose, the FASTER you can lose it. Ever watch the Biggest Loser? Those people are tracking every little bite that goes into their mouths, working out for HOURS every day, supervised by drs not to mention their trainers, and in the same week of everyone doing the same things a BIG guy might lose 15 lbs while a woman that's smaller than the big guy might be happy to lose 4 lbs. The bigger you are, the faster you can lose. B/c it's easier to create a larger calorie deficit.

It took me 37 days to complete the 30 day shred (had a couple of rest days) and I lost 5 lbs, but that's about right for me b/c I started out only needing to lose around 20 more. I already knew I wasn't going to lose that entire 20 lbs in 30 days, it's not realistic when I'm getting that close to my goal. I did lose a BUNCH of inches in all the right places though - 2" off my butt/hips, 2" off my belly at the navel, over 1" off my thighs, etc. The EXERCISES will make you lose inches, what you do with your CALORIES (consumption vs. burn) will determine your actual weightloss. Hope that helps. :-)

Definitely take your measurements before you begin, that's where you are gonig to see BIG changes. Even if your scale does not move as much as you'd like, you will find your clothes fitting more loosely and looking better on you. :-)

I lost about 6 lbs and needed to take breaks because of knee and lower back issues. I gained 1lb the first week but this seems common. You will be more toned, lose inches and increase your stamina. You will see the increase in stamina the 1st week to 10 days, becasue the first few few days, to quote Jillian, "you will feel as if you are going to die!" LOL!

It is a DVD by Jillian Michaels

I am not sure how much I lost but it massively kick started my weightloss. I lost so many inches.

I'm one week into it and noticed a huge difference in my body and the way my clothes fit already

I'm seriously looking at doing this, is there a more up to date version that 2009?? That's the latest addition I can find on Amazon...

Did this in 2010 - in about 6 weeks, lost 16 lbs. Of course, I watched what I ate as well and did surplus it with some treadmill time. I'm about to start it again. Like everyone says, the first few days, you want to punch her through the tv. After that, you really feel an increase in your endurance. I know when I do mine tonight, I'll be dying during the 2nd set, but once you get to the 3rd set, you just want to push through and it's TOTALLY worth it.

I don't know about 3DS, but I did Ripped in 30 and noticed a huge difference in my muscles. I have them everywhere now and they are defined. I didn't do it in 30 days due to injuries here and there (not from the program), and I didn't follow her silly meal plans though. I don't have the pounds or inches handy but it's clear that there was a huge change. I will continue the program to keep my muscles up.

How many calories do you think you burn doing the 30 day shred level 1?
