WEIGHTLOSS: 30-Day Shred
30-Day Shred Results: Round 2 ! | Weightloss Journey Ends From 150 lbs. to 103 Lbs.
Thursday, July 22, 2010Traveliztera
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. :)
