    Tara- I am scared to re-measure but know that I need to. I am sure that I went back up in inches after not sticking with it. I will do them tonight before we do Ripped.

    wooo another day down! I have a question for you all - one of the strength moves in L2 involves an 'ab hold'...when i do this, I can't get into the position they're in without sitting on the floor!! It's as if my arms just aren't long enough or something! Is this possible or am I just doing it wrong? I don't find the move too hard, it just seems that my arms don't go that high..if I go up on my fists I can do it, but it hurts my knuckles and it's harder to hold that way. Maybe I'll try putting books or something under my hands. Would that help?

    Ok, so I measured and am up an inch and a half in my waist since finishing 30DS about a month ago. Everything else was either the same or lower. TOM and the burrito that I ate for dinner before measuring could be the cause of the waist going up though so I will measure again in the am. Finished day 2 tonight after an hour and a half at the gym. I still like it. I am hoping to lose more inches in my waist with ripped than I did with 30DS. Can't wait to see results!

    Tara - are you still starting tomorrow?!? I am just starting week 2, so we will be behind together :) lol. I honestly didn't find level 1 much scarier than 30DS, even on the first day. Anyway good luck! I know you'll rock it!

    Yeah me too! I put my hands a little further forward which helped. Or yes, get some yoga blocks or just improvise with books i guess, as long as you feel it in the lower abs.

    Hi all!
    I started yesterday, but didn't get in here to post because it was a BUSY day! And today, MAN on MAN are my hamstrings sore from those fast feet!!! I thought it was a great workout, not as bad as I had feared, but I know I am just on level 1! I have to say, though, that Jillian wearing all the makeup and being all flirty was just plain weird for me. LOL!

    I am taking today off and going walking because I am so sore! I will be back on tomorrow! READY TO GET RIPPED!

    Oh, also, how is everyone counting? Are you all doing 7 days of each level? And what about break days? She says on here that we should have them, but I am a little confused as to how I should count to 30 here... ;)

    AFM-L1D1 done today...I feel like it was easier on the strength then the shred...but harder on the cardio...which is exactly what I need!! i switched between my 3lb and 5lb weights, but think that I will try to use my 5lbers formost of it tomorrow!

    gd-have fun and stay outta trouble (and jail) you need to be able to finish RI30 afterall!!

    Grace-doing well over here!! just started today and can't wait to get to where you all are! have a great day :)

    Jen-glad to have you aboard!! I just did Day 1 so we shall see how I am feeling tomorrow!! and I agree with the JM and weird thing...kinda awkward when she had the girls talk into her boobs!! LOL. As for the counting...I am doing 6/7 days per week with my rest day being every Tuesday...for a total of 24/28 days total and 6 days/each level!

    Courtney-i retook my meaurements too...but with my 10 day vaca thrown in there...I am not only up 6.8lbs (which isn't bad considering that I have lost 8.4 in the 4 days since I have been home), but I also have gone up 5.4" which is almost my total inches lost from the shred :( also doesn't help that it is TOM for me too!! but still...grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! :(

    Des92 - this is my problem too. I always thought that my body is proportioned but after seeing and doing this exercise, I confirmed that my arms are short :-). I just deal with it...no changes, I just hold by belly button down/hold my abs.

    tjradd73 - glad to hear that you started. It is hard at first (speaking for myself) but it gets a little easier. When the going gets tough, I just picture a skinny me in the near future, then I just suck it up and finish the routine.

    momwithacamera - welcome. it gets a little easier after day 3 :-) just hang in there.

    Jenlwb and gsenriquez - thanks! it's good to know I'm not alone with these tiny little arms!! lol :)

    L2 D3 done!! Today I was exhausted, and I was disappointed in myself because I felt like I wasn't giving it my all... until I looked at my HRM, which said I burned just over 400 cals (the highest I've gotten it so far in L2!) So that was a little encouraging.

    2 days until I move back to the city for school!! I'll work out Friday morning before going, and HOPEFULLY get everything (DVD player) all set up at my new place quickly so I can finish L2 on Saturday! If not, I will just do it Sunday and take Saturday as my rest day instead. Not going to let a little move interfere with my getting RIPPED! lol

    So it is day 3 of week 1 for me and it is the first day that I felt like it was hard. I pushed through though. Now I am enjoying my Strawberry, Peach, and Yogurt smoothie.

    gd- hope you are having fun!

    mom (jen)- her flirtatiousness didn't bother me near as much as her baby talking to the girls tummy.

    tara- You will get back to where you were and then lose even more. I am sure that your vacation was way worth it!

    You guys are doing awesome! Some of you are already coming up on your finish or getting into level 4! Wow!!! Going ahead and removing my name since I know I am not going to be finishing the levels. Can't wait to see after pics! Maybe I will come back to this exercise once I get closer to my goal weight and turn to toning more. Just not enough time in the day to do this plus my 50 minutes of cardio.

    DRAGONCON IN 1 WEEK!!!! *squee!*
