After gaining 4lbs. when I arrived from a trip last June, I decided to start another round of the 30-Day Shred because I wanted to drop my weight from 111 lbs. to 107lbs.
If you checked out my 1st entry regarding my 30-day shred results ( 30-Day Shred Weightloss Results: Round 1 ), I lost 7lbs. This time around, I lost 8lbs. Basically, my current weight is 103 lbs. Now I know that we were given the promise of losing UP TO 20 LBS., but once again, I'll defend Jillian Michaels with regards to the issue of the others who did not lose that much--like me. Keep in mind that even though you may have lost a lot of FAT WEIGHT, you may have also gained a lot of MUSCLE WEIGHT (and muscles are heavier compared to fat). In the end, it would seem like you just lost a few pounds but in reality, you lost a lot of fat weight and you just became heavier due to your muscle development.
I've already finished the 30-Day Shred last February and I've posted my results here ( 30-Day Shred Weightloss Results: Round 1 ) but then I did another round last June and here are my measurements:
- Left Arm : -1 inch
- Right arm: - 0.5 inch
- Waist: -0.5 inch
- Hips: same
- Left Thigh: same
- Right Thigh: same
- Chest: same
Despite these results, everytime I flex my muscles, they're really prominent and everyone notices them. Compared to my first round, the results are much better now. Here are some pics from June 2009 to July 2010.
(I know that someone will comment on how the PANDA slimmed down as well. Haha!)
I started with a weight of 150 lbs. and for 3 months, I worked out at the gym with my trainer while I took care of my own diet. After 3 months, I was on my own. I made use of the different workouts found in the Women's Health magazines, as well as workout books and articles. After 2 months of being my own trainer, I decided to do the SHRED for 1 month and I finished it last February. Now that it has been a year since I started my weightloss journey, I'm happy to announce that I've lost 47 lbs. and the last round of the Shred helped me boost up that weightloss (I've had a lot of plateaus so I needed a break and the Shred became my jumpstart).
I hope this inspired you to keep on doing those healthy solutions because if I can do it, I'm sure you can, too! Being busy is no excuse. The Shred only takes up 20 mins. of your time so this can be done even by the busiest person alive. :)

Popoy - Okay :D
ChubbyMommyMe - Thank you... :)
I got my dvd from Amazon.com :) But I used a local online store here in the Philippines who gets orders from amazon.com :) powerretail.multiply.com :)
That's amazing that you did so well on your own. I feel like I rely a lot on my trainer and worry that I don't push myself hard enough on my own.
You look fantastic!
Karen - Hi Karen! Thank you! You look great as well! :) I actually miss having a trainer because there are times wherein I feel so lazy and I'm not doing the right positions anymore and I feel like I'm no longer exerting a lot of effort... Since I stopped having a trainer with me, I got myself this dvd and it's hard to not follow Jillian Michael cos she's such a huge motivator haha! Well she's bossy and that's an okay motivator but her body motivates me more!
Wow congrats sige lang shred pa nang shred hehehe
Glentot - thanks :) haha pero tama na.ahahahaha baka maging payatot na ako haha
wow!!! going to the gym tomorrow! (and i'll take the stairs -- 18 floors up from my place. wahwhaaa!)

I love your post!
It has been almost 8 months since I last went to the gym, BUT guess what? A big part of me feels that the gym is over-rated and it's highway robbery .. because losing weight, being fit, and staying fit are all about us: lifestyle, discipline, etc.
Favorite ko yung panda, hahaha! Post 30-Day Shred, are you on Insanity now?
Russ - Thanks!
that's true! and sometimes, you waste an awful lot of time cos u still need to prepare and go to your gym... It's one of the reasons why people get lazy. =( You can actually lose weight in everything u do... U just gotta choose which are beneficial... :) Hahaha! Yeah, the panda lost weight too!
Wow! You are inspiring :)
What were you eating the whole?
Were you eating 'normally' (rice, etc.)
Congrats :)
Wow! Good job! I wish I can do the same thing. Nice one Traveliztera errr.... Liz? =)
AMOR - Thank you so much! :) I still eat rice but only 1/2 cup and I opt for brown rice most of the time... =) I still eat normally like I eat anything but just 1/2 the usual serving... I don't wanna crave so I still eat the things I want. :)
BABY BOY - Thank you! :) U can do it too! :) I'm Steph btw. :P
