My 30DS Results!!!

I completed Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD for 30 consecutive days, no breaks! You can read about how it felt to finish on my blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/gwennypink

I don't think that my results have been as dramatic as a lot of other people I have seen on the message boards. But looking at my before and after pics side-by-side, I can definitely tell a difference. I am super happy with the way in which my body was able to transform in just 30 days. I had my daughter a little over two years ago, so what you'll be looking at is a post-pregnancy body, just to give you a little bit of background info. I've been doing all types of crunches, sit-ups, etc since then and NOTHING has worked for my midsection in the way that 30DS has. I know I still have a long way to go, and I'll be continuing with a variety of the rest of Jillian's DVD's, as well as continuing zumba class 1-2 times per week.

So now for the results:

Height: 5'1
Total weight loss: 4.6lbs
Waist: -1.5in
Hips: -1in
Thighs: -0.5in
Arms: -1in
Total inches lost: 4

My husband made a nice photo collage of my before and after's. (I had him flip the before side shot because I stood the opposite way by mistake when I took the after shot, that's why you see the difference in tattoos lol)

Thank you to the first poster who explained what I was doing wrong! Here's the photo collage, and I'm also leaving the link on here if you want to see the photos bigger for more detail:

    I think if you put the image URL inside the [IMG][/IMG] tags, but make the IMG lowercase, it will work - never tried it, but I've seen ppl explain it on other threads. :) I want to see the pics but can't bc photobucket is blocked on my work comp lol

    Also, I just started 30DS yesterday, so I am glad to hear so many success stories. The scale hasn't really been moving for me lately, so I am hoping to see a change in the way my body looks as opposed to the numbers.

    wow, looks like a lot more than 4 inches lost! Your belly is a big difference, and look at the bottom of your bum in the side to photos! I can also see it other places, like your neck/chin.

    Great job!

    That's amazing, you look great!! I did the 30DS and lost about 4 inches too-- but I never made it to level 3, I just kept it at 2.
    Anyway, it's nice when something works. :)
