I've had a good response on my own wall from this so thought I would share.

My 7lb weight loss after doing 30DS (up to the end of level 2), eating clean, 1600 cals minimum a day, running and weights.

Don't give up! It's a brilliant workout and can help you kick start other means of fitness too. I had more energy and felt stronger after the first 10 days.

Good luck to all those doing 30DS!

    Wow!!! Truly inspiring!! I am training for a half-marathon ritght now, but have already decided to start 30DS a week after the race. I have the DVD and am ready to start! I have seen some great before and after pics. There is an amazing difference in your pictures - very hard to believe that happened in only 30 days!!!!

    What a great job! Keep it up!! You look fabulous!!

    Thanks for sharing!

    This is excellent. I'm about half way though the 30DS and haven't lost a lot on the scale, but I am losing inches. I hope I do as well as you!

    That's AWESOME! So true, you definitely have to remember that muscle gain can make the scale number not go down as much...but you can def. tell the fat came off. Good for you! I'm on day 10 or 11 now of the shred. I've lost 6 pounds already...can't wait to see where I'm at on day 30!

    You look GREAT! Many people start out with a Gain, how long did it take to start losing weight?

    regardless, your transition is fabulous!

    Thanks everyone.

    Sophie983 - twice a day??! Woah no way.

    I did it on average 4-5 times a week. I've had a bit of a break the past couple of weeks as I've been running with the dog in the mornings. I'm going to start level 3 tomorrow for the first time.

    I found it just kick started everything for me. It helped me feel fitter and stronger much quicker and the weight didn't start coming off until I actually UPPED my calories believe it or not. Got some great advice from Helloitsdan on here who shook up my eating and then it started to fall off from 1st Jan really.

    I tend to do it at 6am before everyone gets up so it really sets me up for the day. Good luck to everyone doing it, my advice would be to blog your progress. Even if you feel like nobody reads it, it's good to reference back.

    Wow! That's amazing. I didn't think a 7lb loss could look that dramatic either. Goes to show why using the measuring tape can be a greater incentive than those pesky scales! You look great :)

    Great to hear the 4-5 times a week. Everything I've read on weight training advocates a rest period for rebuilding/healing to maximize results. With that in mind - and your fantastic results - I do hereby commit to an every other day dose of 30DS.

    Jugsie - Do you know how much you weighed in pounds before and after? I did one day of the 30DS but the jumping jacks and high impact stuff reeked havoc on my foot (recovering from a srained ankle and stress fracture in my heel). I want to start it again and try to substitute some of the cardio parts with continuous punching or something!

    I am getting frustrated because I have been going to the gym every single morning at 5am and burning 300-600 calories as well as eating 1200 calories plus exercise calories and I am not seeing any pounds or even ounces dropping off!

    Your pictures gave me a little bit of hope that I can do this! Great Job!!
