Hey! I'm Megan. I'm new to this site and considering buying Jillian's 30 day shred. I would like to see if anyone else is in a similar physical condition as me. I'm not extremely over weight, I just would like to lose my love handles and tone up a bit. I would love to get to be fit through better nutrition and committing to this program. I'm 5'5 and approximately 150-165 pounds (I'm going to weigh myself in the morning for my starting weight) I would like to see someone who was is similar shape as I am now before and after pictures. :)

    Thanks for responding! I was just curious, most of the results and encouraging things I have seen are either super skinny people or people that are very overweight or leaning on obese

    Hi! I'm in a similar boat, I want to work on the whole love handles areas and I have the 30 day shred, only I'm going to alternate it a bit with Nadia's fat to flab and Davina, just to keep a bit of variety. I'm excited to see if it's going to pay off.

    I'm hoping to get some results out of this 30 day shred. Honestly I am kind of a lazy person. I am pretty good at watching what I eat but my laziness is what I think prevents me from being in shape. I'm hoping her videos will help get me out of that. I am also in the process of being an ex-smoker. Exercise is what has helped me stop completely for 6 months in the past. I REALLY want to quit this time!

    I am not that size now because i gained from kids, but if you want I can find old pictures of me from a couple years ago when I started in 2008 at 164 and worked to the 140s and I looked nice :] I'm 5'4" I was working out at the gym..I have other pictures where I started around 160s and I ended up in the 140s later in 2010 too from walking and eating less only!

    It may not be drastic, but my face was more defined

    I was also thinner than I look in the third to last picture in the black because I had a second shirt you can't see because it blended in the picture, but it is only down to the ribs and ties in the front, so it made my waist look bigger than it was. lol I wish I had better pictures, but in person the change of 20lbs was crazy honestly and I especially noticed in my legs that they were more tone.

    Hi I'm kind of similar.

    I started my weight loss journey at 176lbs, i'm now 145 but i'm 5' 5.5". I'm doing the 30 Day Shred, about to start level 2. I'd definitely reccommend it!

    Hey,
    I am kind of similar.I started doing the 30 day shred but got bored of it after week 2 as it was the same workout everyday.
    Did loose 2 pounds though.

    I am currently doing turbo fire and its better for me personally as I like the variety and the kicks :)

    best of luck.

    I'm 5'6 and current 139. It seems like a low number, I know, but I have a serious muffin top and saddle bags. I work out to Jillian Michaels normally. I have the kettlebell workouts, the yoga meltdown, extreme shed and shred, and I used to have the 30 day shred, but I lent it to someone at my old gym, then we moved. I do plan on getting it again because I see serious results on a lot of people.

    thanks! it's good to know "average" size people are getting results out of it, I have seen very few results of anyone that is not super skinny or obese.:D

    Hi...i did the 30 day shred and i definetly toned out. I was able to notice a difference in my hip area and around my waist. I still have some love handles and lower back fat that i need to tone up as well. I just started doing her Body Revolution videos and i love them too, maybe after the shred try them out!! Feel free to add me if you'd like! Good luck on your journey:)
