SHRED!?

[madeindevon2]

so this is the 30 day DVD thing then? (i just googled it and found it on amazon)

so how much have people lost using it (what was starting and end weight??)

thanks for help.....wondering whether to get.

I did the 30 days back in January, don't weigh myself but lost inches all over, went down a dress size and got much flatter stomach and nicely defined shoulders out of it. Most effective exercise dvd I've tried, and the shortest.

Ok so I've got it and need a kick start to get me going (am on the August weightloss thread too) I've watched the first routine and I think I might cry!

Tell me how fabulous I'll look in 30 days - and how many days before you noticed a change?

Mine just arrived today too. Eek.

its amazing - if you do it regularly you WILL lose inches - I have lines at the side of my abs - I have never in my whole life had those

Depends on how unfit/how much you have to lose really. You will see a change in 2/3 weeks if you do it properly and watch your eating. It is hard - but is only 20 minutes. There has to be a certain amount of pain/intense physical effort to sculpt your body.

IT DOESN'T COME FOR FREE, PEOPLE!!

I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO DIE

thats me being Jillian
Brill DVD - highly recommended

Get doing it and get yourself on the other thread

I'M GONNA MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GARGLING YOUR HEART!

thats me being Jillian

probably not very encouraging to newbies

no suppose not - newbies honest don't be discourged - she makes you laugh whilst you are doing it & you'll soon be joining us with the catchphrases

hahaha
tbh im not that unfit. have lost 2 1/2 stone but then put on 10lb.
i run and go to gym. been a bit crap this past 4-5 weeks hence the weight gain. but was running 12km fairly easily.
i LIKE working hard. (but i also like playing hard....eating drinking hence my predicament!)
im 5ft 3 and currently 10st3 (wanna bearound 9stone) however im not a slave to the scales. just wanna be a toned size 10

the other thread is which one then??

YEAH I WANNA FEEL LIKE IM GONNA DIE!!!!

dvd arrives tomorrow

need to get some weights at weekend then

OK, I'm convinced. I've just ordered it and it'll arrive tomorrow apparently.

I want you to feel like you're dying?

cant find weight sets with 5kt weights in them....
all are either 1kh 2kg or 3kg

eerr no why would you want 5kg weights are you mad?

[faints]

how about these

"Look at www.amazon.co.uk/York-Fitness-Neo-Hex-Dumbbell/dp/B0015UM4BM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=sports&qid=1281629479&sr=8-7"

try that one sorry

madeindevon - no WAY should you be starting with 5kg weights!! Not unless you've got arms like Arnie. It doesn't sound like much but you will be surprised...

I'm a strapping lass and only on the easiest, least 'aaargh'-inducing exercises do I use my 2.5kg weights.

If you go too fast/difficult to start with it could put you off.

I'm slightly scared. Got about 3 stone to lose, but reasonably fit as I cycle/swim regularly and walk everywhere.

Right. Tomorrow. I have 1kg weights. I'll start with those!!

I've ordered my copy today too, so hopefully [gulps] will be working out with you all soon. Going to work out to Davina (the easier option now) whilst I still have the excuse of 'it hasn't arrived yet'. See you all Monday!!

Another Jillian groupie here. I've been shredding since Easter - I've only lost a couple of pounds :( but I have lost inches :)

I'd recommend taking lots of measurements (chest, waist, thighs, hips, knees, arms) and if you can brave it take a few photos. I wish I had some before shots as despite my clothes fitting better I can't see the results when I look in the mirror. I still don't like the look of my tummy, bum, thighs , hips, fat knees etc etc! I do like my arms though - especially my mini guns

Oh, and I use a mixture of 1.5kg and 2.5kg weights depending on the exercise. I started out using 1kg weights but now my dcs use those when they join in :)

Do I need this?

I have been dieting since January, lost 30lbs altogether. The last 3 months I have lost nothing, but have still been trying really hard and being very good.
I go to aerobics classes twice a week and bums legs and tums twice a week.
I am still overweight by about a stone and feel wobbly.

Do I need the shred DVD?

Goober, it can't hurt!

I am not overweight (BMI is about 21.5) but have areas of extreme wobbliness. Since starting the Shred I have not lost weight but have definitely lost inches, and look so much more toned. I have the lines back at the sides of my abs that I had before babies (my kids are now six and four) and my shoulders have got some definition (for the first time ever I think!) Legs and bum still wibbly, but less so, and I am taking a size 10 as a default into a changing room rather than a 12 which I most certainly was a couple of months ago.

I love it, and feel really anxious if I know it's a day where I'll struggle to fit it in.

I think everyone needs the Shred in their life.

I agree with Joby - you NEED the Shred in your life

You may not loose any more weight from doing it but you will definately notice the difference in terms of toning

I have the same lines on my abs which is a pretty amazing feet after 3 children

You may have stopped noticing a change from the gym/classes because you are not pushing yourself enough - your body gets used to the exercise and it stops becoming a challenge

Ask yourself what have you got to loose? (apart from weight obviously )

As racmac says - SHRED is better than HOURS OF PHONING IT IN IN THE GYM ( thats Jillian again!!)
