    YAY!! I did the 30DS once before and was amazed with the fast results. I'll post before and after pictures.

    By the way, Jillian now says NOT to do the DVD every single day, but rather to do it 3 or 4 days in a row, then take a one-day break, then back to 3 or 4 days in a row, then a one-day break, etc. This will be great!

    Starting weight: 168.9
    current weight: 168.9

    The measurements that I track:
    waist: 33 1/2"
    hips: 43 1/2"
    upper arm: 12 1/4"
    thigh: 26 1/4"
    calf: 16"

    I'm a pear to begin with and the weight comes off from the top first, so I'm very bottom-heavy right now! Would love to see some inches come off my hips and thighs.

    I just asked about rest days out on the Fitness and Exercise board. Should have looked her first, I guess. LOL! 3-4 days then a rest day sounds like a good plan.

    It's nice to hear that someone has had success before. Looking forward to the pix.

    So, if we're only keeping track of one thigh, calf and upper arm, when we total inches lost, does everyone multiply those by two since we have two of them?

    That would totally be the way to do it. Or some people track both the right and left. (there can be a big difference between them) Whatever works best for you!

    Starting weight: 217.2

    Bust - 41
    Waist - 36
    Hips - 48
    Thigh - 29

    5'10" for reference.

    I never, ever measure myself, since I'm always afraid I'm measuring inconsistently. Here's hoping I'll be able to measure the same spots consistently. I took a bunch more measurements since it's the first time in a long time, but I'll spare you. :)
