    @hello1980 Thanks for the meal plan link!! It actually looks quite tasty! I've never tried a proper diet before but I may try this one. I was wondering, does the ripped in 30 have more abs based work? I'm on level 2 of 30DS but would like something to mix it up a bit and possibly more abs stuff.

    I've read Level 4 is better than Level 3 --- at least when it comes to stress on the knees.

    Kind of, some of the strenght and cardio workouts make you use your abs so I would say yes. Good Luck.

    Thanks for the info. I really hope it's true because I am starting to feel the stress on my knees. Good Luck.

    Just bought the Ripped in 30 DVD, I am on Day 2 of Week 1. Doing the dvd along with 25 to 30 min of cardio. I'm hoping to lose 5 pounds in a month, is this realistic?

    So I did week 4 yesterday on Ripped in 30. I did like it but I was shaking in the warm up. LOL. It's tuff. But I am half through WOO HOO. Yay, I will redo another 30 days after I complete this first 30 days.

    05/04/2011 Day 15 (Yay)
    Ripped in 30 (Week 4)
    Stairs 30 minutes

    P. S. her workouts do get easier with time. When you are just starting out I was breathing hard, ribs hurt, shaking and now I'm just breathing hard. LOL.

    It depends on how much your starting weight is, but for most people it's probably doable.
    I lost 5 pounds on the flat belly diet (before starting the 30-day shred) in 32 days, so in my opinion, it's a realistic goal!

    Anyone else's knees hurt while doing level 2 of the 30-day shred? I'm even doing the "easy" version, and my knees are killing me. Must be all the lunges. I like the exercises in this level, but man, I don't know how much more my poor old knees can handle! Maybe this DVD isn't for people over 40? LOL!

    Hey lovelies!
    I finnnally got my 30ds in the mail the other day and my best friend's wedding is next weekend so I will start full on after the wedding- Ive gotta fit in my dress still! and my dress is just slightly looser right now than when I bought it. I missed the gym yesterday and started the level 1 30ds and then 10 minutes into it my roommate came down stairs saying she over slept and asked for a ride to work... so there went that work out. grr. I'm excited to start it after the wedding!!! I hope everyone is doing well!

    I just got the Ripped in 30 video last weekend. I'm on day 8 of level 1 in the 30 day shred, but I'm wondering. Is it possible to do both without over doing it? Anyone had any experience with doing 30 DS and Ripped?

    Of course, I think I'm about to get my booty kicked with level 2 of 30DS!

    Just started level 3 of 30-day shred over the weekend. Brutal!! One good thing is that I've been sleeping really good at night. Must be because I'm exhausted!
