I guess I'm letting my OCD get the best of me, but does it bother anyone else how on her 30 Day Shred AND Ripped in 30 she is not equal on the number of reps? Or does anyone even notice? I only notice because I will count how many reps of an exercise I am doing. For example, on the first set of an exercise she will have you do 14 reps, then when you come back for the 2nd set you do 17 or 18. It just bothers me for some reason lol.

    YES!!!!! lol I notice this every time! It's mostly on the strength training that she does it. Very annoying!! Then again she is just getting on my nerves anyway! Day 8 Level 1 and I can't listen to her tell me "I know it's hard" lol- shut up Jillian!! :laugh:

    I can't stand that woman, so I can't do her workouts. She's not nice.

    lol Yes!!! I count and have noticed this. Because I know where it's the worst (being so far off), I'll do my own to make it even. lol

    Another thing that irritates me, is where she says these guys never cheat while I'm up here. The one does!! She's with Anita explaining something while Natalie is half-a**ed doing the exercise...just moving her arms, not doing the leg part. I'm like, turn around, you'll see they cheat, too! lol

    I haven't noticed but now I know my OCD will get the best of me and i'll obsess over it lol. I do hate though when she says "just a couple more" meaning 10 more reps, 10 is not a couple and when you feel like you are dying and you get the motivation to push through "a couple more" I find myself only getting 5 more because of what it does to my mental determination. Just wait until there is actually a couple more to say anything. Same goes for when she says "a few more" a few more is 3-5, not 15.

    Oh yes, I notice it. And I have a problem with the moves not always being in time to the beat of the music, lol. So I lot of the time I'll just mentally tune her out and do my reps etc. to the beat I'm hearing... as opposed to what I'm seeing :) She doesn't bug me though (yet). My child thinks she's funny - hangs on her every word, lol.

    Agree with someone above, she isn't very nice. Is it sad though that I feel like she's expecting me to quit, so therefore I want to try harder?!?!? I have an illness apparently.... LOL

    Sometimes she'll say, "Ok, just 3 more" but will only do 2. I noticed it in Shred It With Weights. It's very annoying.

    You're all just jealous...How is she evil and whose problem is it that you are all OCD? I expect you find the dvd's too difficult....

    Nope, doesn't bother me. Nor do I want Jillian to be all nicey nice, that would annoy me more than any tough talk. Not to say I haven't called her a few choice names. But, that's because I'm sore. Not because she or her off counting bugs me. All I care about is does it work.

    Lol, she's not evil. But when you do a DVD day after day - the same one over and over - you can't help but notice off-counts, every little detail, etc. Jealous of who?!!

    K glad to hear it bothers some others too. Of course it wouldn't bother EVERYONE. Like I said it gets the best of my OCD, BUT I love her dvd's nonetheless. I just overlook it and keep going. I might try the muting her trick. :tongue:

    If I was jealous of her, I wouldn't have bought the DVD in the first place. I do find her annoying but this is third time I'm doing this. I've made it through in the past...just find this works to lose inches. Too difficult? Nah...if it was, I wouldn't be doing it.

    OCD...yep, you bet I am. If we have to name "whose problem," sure, I'll take the blame. I'm used to it. LOL
