Most programs usually focus on 5 or so days a week, not 30 consecutive days, but I figured doing something was better than nothing!) I did, however, notice that my arms were significantly more toned and my clothes did fit better after a month or so. It's time to get back to it!
Personally, I'm all about being more toned anyway. So I'd much rather see that sort of progress than a lot of movement on the scale. I find it's too easy to sabotage myself if I focus only on the scale. I know that I look better, and I FEEL better, so the scale shouldn't matter so much.

But yea. I don't find a lot of scale movement with Jillian. I also don't have a whole lot to lose, which means any sort of scale movement is difficult for me, lol. Right now I'm working on running 3 days a week, and doing Jillian 2 or 3 days a week. Even if you're not doing her programs every single day, you still get a lot out of it.
