    JustBreathe418: I did take a look at Week 4 but I can't remember what I saw! Maybe I blacked it out? LOL! Anyway, I figure if we were scared by what we previewed in Weeks 2 and 3, but we're doing those weeks anyway (however badly, in my case!), we can do Week 4. Maybe I'm kidding myself, but I'll find out soon enough. I just did Day 4 of Level 3 and I'll probably try Level 4 in two or three days. I don't think I'll ever be able to do those rock n roll squat things from Level 3, though!

    Keep going everyone! I can't face doing Level 4 without any buddies! :smile:

    I just wanted to say CONGRATS to you girlies for this awesome thread!! I'm so pumped to start this now ... just from reading everything I can only imagine what I'm up against! I think I'm going to wait to start it on August 1st though, although I may start so I can finish before school starts up for me again!! Very excited and loved the motivation you all have!! Keep on rippin!! Good for you!!

    Hi Ladies!

    Started Ripped in 30 on July 18. Finished Week 1 yesterday. Weighed and measured myself this morning. I will tell it is soo important to measure yourself because if I hadn't I would have been so frustrated this morning.

    These are my results:

    Lost 2 lbs.

    Chest - 1 inch
    Upper waist - 1.5 inches
    Waist (belly button) - 2.5 inches
    Thighs - 1 inch
    Lower thighs - 1 inch

    For a Total of 7 inches in week!!

    I only have one more day of W3 to do, then time for the dreaded W4! I was supposed to do my last W3 day today, but throwing in an extra 30 minutes of cardio everyday has finally caught up with me... Time for a day off :).
    Has anyone started W4 yet?? I'm terrified! I was wondering if I should keep trying W3 until I feel more comfortable, but I think it'll be best for me if I just be brave and go for it! :)

    alexwalper - Good luck getting into week 4! We'll be there with you soon :)

    Did day 4 of week 3, still not getting any easier! I was planning on doing week 3 for another day and moving on to week 4, but I might give it another day or two, depending on how I feel tomorrow. My quads are in so much pain lol.

    Keep on Rippin' it!

    Hey everyone I have been MIA because I have been at the beach. Totally missed my workouts, however I actually put on a swimsuit and it looked decent. I know now I have to keep working, I hope everyone is hanging in!

    For those who were wondering about Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 Level 4--I did it for the first time tonight--and I survived! I did go down to 3 lb. weights, though, and had to modify some of the moves (e.g., renegade row pushups and chautaranga pushups on my knees, not on my toes).

    Great job! :)
    I attempted W4 D1 this morning too.. Oh my, it was intense! Usually I'll feel any soreness the next day, but I can definitely already feel it. I also had to modify both of those moves (I've never been able to do the renegade rows.. I can't seem to lift my arms while in plank without falling flat down!) along with doing a lot of beginner stuff, and the random yoga stuff kicked my butt. I am INCREDIBLY inflexible, so this will definitely be a long week for me. I'm already eyeing some yoga to help with this inability to reach my toes thing :embarassed:.

    Yay, everyone! I did Day 6 of Level 3 last night and will attempt Day 2 of Level 4 sometime today. I am seeing results, I think (at least insofar as the mirror goes). How about everyone else?

    9 more days for me and then maybe I'll move on to Supreme 90. Has anyone tried that?

    Oh my goodness! Week 4 is my favorite workout. It was a hard workout, but I enjoyed it. I have 4-5 more days left, woohoo. Even though, I can't see a difference my husband can. This morning my husband said, "Babe your jeans fit different":happy:. That makes me feel very happy.

    Thank you ladies for all the support. Keep it up! You all are doing great!

    3 days left! This has been a wild ride, but well worth it. I rent uniforms at work, and just had to call them to exchange me down a size!!! YES!!!!!!

    Just did Day 2 of Ripped in 30 Level 4. Kind of crazy, but I like this level--except for the chatauranga pushups and the renegade row pushups.

    Yay, almost done! I had to take my two days off in a row because I hurt my knee spending waaay too much time walking at Disneyland, but I attempted W4 D2 today. I had to modify quite a bit, but I still made it through! I've decided I really love the supermans with a shoulder press, but my do those chaturangas hurt! I still can't do burpees either, like not at all haha.

    My eating has been really poor and my scale just broke, so I probably won't have a good weight loss (or even a knowledge of it! ha!), but I've become A LOT stronger, and I can see some inches gone. I'll just be proud to have finished! Yay!
    Great job everyone!

    Just did Day 1 of Week 4! Geeeeez Jillian is really mean in this one lol! I actually like this week more than week 3 even though its tougher and crazier. I REAAAALY felt it doing the supermans with the shoulder press. It hurt so bad but felt soooo good haha. Alexwalper I think that's my favorite move too!

    Just did Day 3 of Rin30 Level 4. I'm only using 3 lb. weights with this one. Just out of curiousity, for those on Week 4, what poundage weights are you using?

    Did Day 3 of Week 4 this morning! I'm housesitting this week, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to pull it off.. I moved their dining room table and busted it out :). It was the first time I did it on carpet, and I much preferred it to the wood + yoga mat at my house! I still can't do the burpees haha, so I did punches or jump roping instead. I'm heavily modifying a lot, but I can feel myself getting better and stronger still! Yay!

    @bathsalts I'm using 5 lbs. because I forgot to bring my 3s haha. They are killing! Too late to change now :).

    Did Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 Level 4, Day 4. Only 1-3 more days to go, depending on whether I want to Level 4 for 5, 6 or 7 days total. Good luck everyone!

    Jillian Ripped in 30 Level 4, Day 5 with 5 lb. weights (thanks for the inspiration alexwalper!) :smile: The supermans (supermen?) were pretty tough with 5 lb. weights. Now I'm trying to decide whether I should do the last three days of Rin30 to get to the full 30 days. What do all of you think? So far, I've done 8 days of Level 1, 7 days of Level 2 (my least favorite level), 7 days of Level 3 (my next least favorite) and 5 days of Level 4 for a total of 27 days.

    Then I have to decide what to do next. How is everyone else doing?

    I'm thinking of trying Supreme 90 next; it's a series of 10 DVDs promising results from muscle confusion--I get the impression it's like Jillian plus--anyone want to do it with me? Here's the link: https://www.supreme90day.com/

    I bought it for 19.99 at Target.
