30 day shred challenge

Dang girl, with all that you'll lose the weight in no time! I finished Day 2 yay! Like you, I also started this workout before. My sister and I did it last year for like a week until we took a break and never started again because she hurt her leg. Funny thing is she didn't get injured from the workout, it was from tripping over her son's toy

I'm trying to figure out what I can do next week to step it up a notch for even better results, but for now the plan I have should be okay. The workout is tough, I'm still doing girl pushups but it was a bit easier to do them today. All the cardio is killing me though. Last year the cardio didn't seem so bad but this time I had to stop a few times for 3-4 seconds because my legs start shaking and lose feeling. It’s really weird because up until a few weeks ago I was going for walks 4-6 days a week for a couple months and I had no problem with my legs, but last night they were so weak I wanted to turn right back towards home after I started, but I didn’t. Hopefully they'll get stronger. I have NO lower body strength. Or upper body strength. Or core strength. I'm pretty much just a weakling all around lol

One of the hardest things for me has been drinking water. I do not like drinking water. I’m trying to drink at least 90 oz each day, which is amazing considering before this week I usually went 3 or 4 days at a time without any water. As far as my diet, the pills keep me from being hungry but I still get cravings like CRAZY so I just snack on some fruit or carrots or something when that happens. Then I just eat whatever but a pretty small amount because I feel full quickly. I’m not exactly eating heathier , just less. But I’m also not eating a bunch of fatty stuff either just to be clear lol.

Glad you were able to stick with it. You can do it! Hope we get some other’s to join so we can cheer them on too.

Hi SooSweet. Yes most reviews I’ve seen have people say that they lost few to no pounds, but the ones with before/after pictures make you think, “Wow, is that really only __ lbs?! It looks like more!” People who are already slim seem really pleased with how much flatter their stomach and smaller their arms and thighs get from the 30DS, so if that’s you then you’ll get toned and not lose much or any weight. However, toning isn’t just for people who are already pretty slim, it makes a huge difference in those who are looking to lose a significant amount of weight. Plus it seems like the more you weigh when starting this, the more chance you have of losing actual pounds. So if that sounds like you, you have a better chance of losing weight AND toning. If you haven’t already seen some of these results I’ll post them for you. Of course their results were probably increased by other things: healthy diet, other exercises, etc.

This lady said she didn’t lose ANY weight, but you can definitely tell a change in her tummy:
