I have week one results:

the only changes have been:

1. half inch off hips
2. 1 inch off the waist (below belly button line)

I actually gained a pound, not so great, but I have been eating bigger breakfasts so not sure what that's about, gonna try to ignore the scale. :happy:

*sigh* Okay, now I'm not generally one to want to share pictures, but I feel compelled to do so because I know when *I* was looking at 30 DS before/after shots, most of the photos were of people who weighed a bit more than myself, and I wished I could find more that were more akin to my starting point...to get a better idea of how it might improve my own body, you know?

So, I haven't exactly been on the ball with measuring or photos, but I did manage to get one a day or two after I started shredding, and then on the morning of Day 10 - so about a third of the way done. Just thought I'd share my level 1 "results" so far, I guess.

I swear I look pregnant in the D2 shots, but I'm not! I think it's a combination of awkward angle (my back was kinda twisted a little), bad posture, and a food baby (eating too much).


The real improvement I see is in this shot...my belly looks so much smoother on the edges, if that makes sense.



(I apologize for basically groping myself in that last shot :P)

Welp...that's that so far. I'm happy with how things are going, at least. I know it's not a huge difference but I'm definitely feeling better/stronger, and that's what's important! Kinda interested to see how/if I'll be different at the end of Level 2 now.

I notice a BIG difference! That's AWESOME!!

Just wanted to say this DVD really works!!! I started it April the 2nd and completed Level one on the 18th I took a few days off here and there to do other cardio and also to give my body and mind a break I get burnt out on things fast. But I have lost 4 pounds so far so I am really excited to see what the end holds for me

I just did 2 weeks of level 1 with cardio days mixed in. I ended up doing the shred 8 times. I lost 1.2 pounds and 6.75 total inches. Started level 2 today so we'll see how that goes!

Started on 4/1/2012: Finished on 5/1/2012
Height: 4' 11"
SW: 163lbs FW: 161lbs
Neck: 15" Neck: 15"
Chest: 42" Chest: 41"
Waist: 38" Waist: 37"
Hips: 42 1/2" Hips: 42"
Arms: R: 13" L: 13" Arms: R: 12 1/2" L: 12 1/2"
Thighs: R: 22 1/2" L: 22 1/2" Thighs: R: 22 1/2" L: 22 1/2"
Calves: R: 13 1/2" L: 13 1/2" Calves: R: 14" L: 14"

Not much of a difference, but I have to say that I feel much stronger and willing to keep working out. I did all three levels like Anita and only did 30DS (no extra workout). Will try to post my before and after fotos later on (I need help on this).

I'm posting this now, even though I technically still have today to do :P But this is close enough as I can't imagine a huge difference between how I am today vs. tomorrow. Lost about 7 pounds total! Woohoooo...

Now, Maybe the Ups were muscle, gain, who knows, what I do know is that I lost 8.75 inches , and gained strength because day one there is NO Way I could have done level 3 ( I actually tried and turned if off after 3 min ) and now I can do Level 3 with no problem, and all the hard version, except for strength 3rd circuit, I do modified way for part of it.

NOW the news, notice I am not saying BAD news, is that I actually gained weight. I refuse to get on the scale for a while, maybe I'll give it a month, but it was 4 pounds last I checked. Can't explain it but I will for sure NOT give up and keep going. Pictures coming soon if I can figure it out.

THere is a difference that is visible, even if its minor HOWEVER you said it best, it was not in weight / on the scale but you are feeling stronger and your abilities are improving, that IS A MAJOR difference right? Stay steady....good luck (I know easier said than done)

Here's the place to share our post-30DS results!

I have completed 30DS twice before. This link is to my blog, where I posted the results of those first two rounds: http://todefyego.blogspot.com/2011/04/30-day-shred-results-round-two.html

Then, I got pregnant and had a baby: http://todefyego.blogspot.com/2012/02/wordless-wednesday-leap-day.html

And now, I'm a few days away from hopping back on board the 30DS train. Ready to lose this baby weight!

It would be so motivational if all 200+ members of this group posted pictures. If you are like me, you have the pics, but haven't figured out how to do it. I'll try again this weekend. If you know how to, by all means do it !!

Ok, ladies. I finished 30 day shred. I posted the results with pictures, on my blog.
