Hi everyone

I have the 30 day shred DVD but have never done it. I've put on a lot of weight recently and feeling awful. I have a holiday in just over 8 weeks and I'm desperate to lose as much as possible in that time. I'm planning healthy meals but though 30 DS might help - I'd love to hear from people who are doing it/have done it. Did you lose weight? How much? How soon did you notice a difference? Please motivate me!

I've done it twice. Between DCs and just finished recently post-DC2. Overweight to start with (BMI 26-27) both times I lost 10-14lbs and got back into healthy range.

I had to diet pretty hard along side to get it to work and I tend to do rest days every 7days or so or my knees can't take it.

I'm massively more toned and even though I'm still at the upper end of healthy BMI I look a lot trimmer than I weigh.

I'm back to work from mat leave in a week, going to try and maintain doing a shred 3 days a week.

Hi all

Thanks so much for the motivating replies! I'm feeling so low about how much weight I've put on. I lost quite a bit last year and went on holiday in December feeling good. I've since put most of it back on and going away in December again and feel terrible. Your posts are all so positive. Tomorrow it is exactly two months until my holiday so I will start and hope I can stick with it! It's great to hear from others doing it too, keep posting!!

I've decided I'm going to start the shred again today, got a bit of holiday weight to lose, 2 weeks in America and I've put on half a stone!

Ah this is interesting stuff. I'm half heartedly following slimming world too so hoping the combination helps.
I've been looking into weights but not sure how heavy to go? Planning to start with tins!

I've lost weight doing it but I had to alter my diet also. You won't lose weight by just exercising.

Cut back on manufactured carbs and sugary stuff plus watch portion size and you will lose weight and firm up. I almost had a six pack when I'd finished!!

Sorry, I didn't lose 4 stone in 6 months, I lost 3 in about 9 months, took me ages to get the last stone off tho as I stopped exercising

I done the 30 day shred after my second child 4 years ago, really really helped me lose weight and tone up. Google "30 day shred before and after photos" for some motivation

I lost almost 4 stone in total by eating better (and smaller portions) doing the 30 day shred, trying to walk more and playing the odd game of squash. All within a 6-9 month period (can't remember exactly how long it took)

Good luck

I lost a LOT of weight for my wedding doing the Shred every night. I also had grilled chicken and veg for lunch everyday though! Bit dull.

Bumping this for you as I bought the shred dvd on eBay last night and had similar questions! Also looking for any 'tips'.
Don't technically need to lose weight but would like to tone up and I've gone off running a bit!
