The scale is hating me. I have done 1 week of 30 DS and I gained 5 pounds.
Is 30 DS enough or do I need to workout more?
I want to lose 25-30 pounds in 100 days (just in time for my vacation)
Any input would be awesome!!

Thanks in advance :0)

    I personally I do not think it is enough. When I did it I always did extra cardio as soon as the video finished. Anything to keep my heart rate up for a full 20 minutes or so. Doing 30 DS only I would only burn 150-200 calories per session which I do not think is enough of a daily calorie burn. I suggest doing jumping jacks, jump squats, jump ropes, butt kicks, ect for several minutes after each session. I only lost 1-2 lbs doing the shred with the additional exercises plus doing 60 mins of step aerobics twice a week. (Disclaimer though.... I am 5'6 and 125 so I was pretty much already at my goal weight). I did gain muscle though so I still think it is a great workout and would def recommend it. Just keep with it and you will see a change in your body.

    Thank you :)
    I did it twice yesterday, just because I felt like I needed more. Especially since my weight loss goal date is not to far away.
    Lucky Lucky, I wish I was 125 pounds. I have a ways to go for that
