The 30 day shred is a workout DVD (about a fiver on amazon) by Jillian Michaels off of the Biggest Loser. The workouts are 20 minutes long but really hardcore and in my experience, yes it does work. Obviously you need to watch your diet too (myfitnesspal.com is really good for logging food and keeping track), but you see results quite quickly - I'd lost 2 inches off my waist in 3 weeks. I've since put them back on Blush thanks for this, it's reminded me to dig the dvd out again Grin

It worked for me. I lost over 2 stones over the course of last year doing Jillian Michaels dvds. This is the thread

It doesn't seem to be working for me Sad have put on a stone since starting a new office job. Started ten days ago, list half an inch from thighs, hips, waist and one pound! It is possible to not eat enough calories?

Started the DVD ten days ago not the job Blush

bettydavis My fellow, much more experienced, Shredders always say that you should not weigh yourself every week. As long as you do your personal best and (IMO) restrict calories a little bit, it should work. If nothing else you should get much more toned. I personaly has not seen a gradual change, but it was quite radical once it started to work.

It also depends on your starting weight. I needed to lose 3 stones, so the first stone just fell off once started any form of exercise it seems. The second one was a lot harder, and I am working on the third one.

Don't give up now! (I nearly said little donkey, if you know the song, it is still Christmas in our house. I had to lie and say Christmas songs are removed from youtube after the 6th January.)
