...Has anyone on here done or is doing the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels? I'm wondering if it's enough to get to my goal weight- it is only 25 mins long, but it's intense cardio/abs/strength training combined into one workout.



***I do watch my calories and can only eat 1200cal a day

height =5'8"
cw= 158.5

    I think most people that have completed 30DS will tell you that they didn't lose too many lbs but lost a lot of inches. That was also the case for me. I dropped maybe 3 lbs but lost a lot of back fat and inches all around...very noticeable difference in my endurance and appearance but not so much on the scale...

    I've been wondering the same thing!! I feel like I've worked hard after the 25 min but when it's over I feel like its too good to be true... thinking of adding in a 30 min run or another cardio dvd

    I lost 1.5 lbs... I was pissed at first but realized i lost 10.5 inches ... I'm okay with that... but I wish I did more supplemental cardio in order to lose a bit more weight.
    Now I'm doing insanity.. 10 days in... no LB loss, but I was following their food guide and am now going back to just doing mfp calorie goals (I am tired of doing all this work and not seeing the scale move)

    I think it is a great workout however if you don't limit calories you will never get rid of final pounds.... I wish it wasn't so though....

    Maybe if you do both the 30 Day Shred WITH the Ripped in 30 meal plan... That is what I plan on doing when I hit a plateu.
