Many of us who've done JM Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred find we lose a lot of inches vs weight -- this is okay -- it's fat disappearing and being replaced with muscle!!! Muscle is leaner and more compact than fat, so two women who both weigh 140 at 5'4" can look drastically different if one has 23% body fat and the other 31% body fat, for example. Don't focus so much on the scale. Take your measurements now and again at the end of the challenge. If you stick with it, you'll be pleased!

Day 2 completed SW 178!
Great job! Be sure to take your measurements, too!0 -
SW -182
I am still finishing Ripped but will be joining you soon. I will be mixing different DVDs because I don't have these. I want to stay with you guys! I love reporting everyday, it keeps my on track. Thanks to all of you.
We're glad you're here, Tammi! Keep up the good work!0 -
Did LVL 1 shred last night, but I'm bored and it doesn't feel like mush of a challenge since I was already on LVL 2, so i think I'm going to do LVL 2 tonight and substitute LVL1 with LVL2 through out the challenge.
ETA: My starting weight is 222.8 (weighed myself this morning) but its also that time of month and I feel bloated so I'm not sure how accurate that is.0 -
Did level 1 yesterday, and OMG was it hard! I did it again today, and already saw a difference.
SW 248lbs
I need to take measurements.0 -
SW - 139.2
Still in bed with the flu bug. I haven't even started, ugh! It is killing me! Hoping to get downstairs and do as much as I can on Level 1 of 30DS.

day 2 done. For the first time level 1 without any break (usually 5 seconds during 2nd cardio ;P )
Can't do the "proper" push ups though, only the moderate ones. Hope to get there one fine day0 -

feel better! :sick: :sick: :sick:0 -
Giving myself a rest day today after my long drive, thought about starting today but I'm soooooooo exhausted. The trip took 36 hours total with a 1 hour nap. Will start tomorrow and do double duty for a couple days to get caught up. Took my measurements today so I can keep track. I'll probably sub some Ripped for 30ds here and there just because and may throw in some of her yoga workouts for a little extra spice. So excited to get started and do this challenge with you awesome people!!!0

Yesterday I did a fair amount of exercise but I was stiff and decided to give JM a rest. Today I did a slow walk for about an hour, then I did 30DS level 2 and 6W,6P level 1. I am not stiff (yet) and I am delighted with myself!!!
This morning I weighed in at 172.2ish (I have a mechanical scales at the moment and it is hard to read, even with my glasses on). I am going to ask my mum to measure me with a tape to see what my measurements are.
I am going to check ebay/amazon again to see if I can get hold of JM's yoga dvd. I heart JM!!!

Looking forward to No More Trouble Zones tomorrow--looks like mainly strength, no circuits or cardio, so 50 mins should be doable. More muscle means more calories burned each day!
How's everyone/s challenge so far???
:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
Yes, I have just you-tubed a clip of NMTZ, and I've not done it before, but I am really looking forward to starting it. It does seem to be more resistsance and less cardio - exactly what I need.
What a fabulous challenge, I am sooo on this!!! Good luck everyone!!!

Well, well, day two of the challenge done. Switched from level 3 shred to level 2. ANNNND now I know why I liked level 3 better before hahaha. Feeling good about this challenge. Since yesterday I decided to up the shorter shred days by doing a little run afterwards. Hopefully they will be longer than 12 minutes, but that's where I'm starting at :P Nervous about the extra long work out tomorrow. EEK. Great job everyone! Starting strong and by golly we will finish strong!!!0

I finished Ripped today! I will be doing 1 more day of it with my BFF ( I also told myself I would do 8 days)
I will join you guys on D4. So happy I got BFBM today and I will be replacing NMTZ with 6wk 6pk but I won't have it until after Christmas. It will be a little mixed up for me for a little while but a workout everyday is all that matters, right?0 -
Day 2 of level 1 done! I can really feel it! I'm going shopping with my mom for most of the day tomorrow, but plan on finding the time to do the NMTZ's. Good luck to everyone!0

I so agreed with this. Haven't been moving so much scale on my weight but I noticed there is a huge difference on my muscles, it indeed worked in me or in many of us who did the two past challenges. And even make me a lot stronger than before.0 -
Day 3 NMTZ complete today. It's a quite long workout. I might be replacing 30 DS with 6 weeks 6packs since I also have this workout and haven't done it yet. I love 30 Ds but I want to try my other workout dvds, good thing it is from JM's workout too.But I will be sticking with the schedule of NMTZ and BFBM.0

Morning from Ireland everyone. I got up at 7am today and I have done NMTZ for the first time, it did take ages though as I paused the DVD quite a few times to see the moves and figure out how to do them. I may try and do a shred level again in the evening, I will see how it goes. xx0
-
Well, got Day 1 & 2 of level 1, 30 DS.......done! So thankful to be kicking the flu bug!
I am so amazed at how differently do the 30 Day Shred feels this time around than when I very first did it in Sept. Wow! I feel so much stronger and fit, it's definitely a great feeling!
Starting to plan my days of exercise for the holiday week, while traveling and family events. Staying focused on the prize in the end!
Safe travels and Happy Holidays to all my fitness pals!0 -
OMG NMTZ about killed me this morning. Guess I need to work on my strength! I have no doubt I'm going to be sore tomorrow!
350 cals per HRM. Not bad for not leaving my living room!
I'm going to have to juggle a bit on workout order due to holiday travels and schedule, but the important part is I'll be here! Hope you all will be too!
Have a great Weds! We're all going to be :smokin: after this challenge, I have no doubt!0 -
Hi all! Just joined the challenge. I made it through over half of the RI30 challenge, when a pinched nerve in my back side tracked me for a couple weeks. I started back to it last week on my own and completed L1D5 this morning, but I am going to switch to this challenge instead.
I am going to sub RI30 for 30DS since I loaned out my copy. I will be picking up the other 2 DVDs this evening and be already to join in!!
Super excited!0 -
Got D1 and D2 done, tomorrow I'll do double workouts again to and be caught up. I did 30DS L1, and NMTZ. I decided to try and use 5 lb weights instead of 3 lbs, it was fine for 30DS but hell for NMTZ. I had to switch back, oh well something to work up to. Also I just got her new dvd Extreme Shed and Shred and will probably be subbing it in for 30DS once in a while.0

No matter which workout I'm doing, I won't be :smokin: . I quit 6 weeks ago :bigsmile:OMG NMTZ about killed me this morning. Guess I need to work on my strength! I have no doubt I'm going to be sore tomorrow!

Day 3 done. Thought I couldn't pull through but made it to the end. 301 cals burnt.0 -
I haven't done my work out yet today, I'm still at work... trying to get pumped for it though by hanging out on MFP. hahahaha. Good to know one of you needed lower weights than 5 pounds for the next video. All I have right now are 3 pound weights :P0

Good for you for quitting! I quit a year and a half ago and don't even think about them now, and I smoked moderately for years. You can do it!0 -
I just received my DVD today, so I will start tomorrow. but how do we know how many calories were burned?
I guess my next thing to buy is a HRM. 0 -

Most of us use MFP's "Circuit Training" item in cardio exercises to calculate cals burned if we don't have a HRM.0 -
WOOOOOWWWW!!!! That no more trouble zone video--as she says herself, is no joke. I have no idea how I did that entire video. Seriously, but I feel great now! I'm pretty sure I was very near muscle failure at some parts! I do like how each move has a short span at a time. That helps a lot! Keep up the great work everyone!!! This is going to be a serious challenge for sure! Are we all still in?!?!

So not a joke!!! Those surrenders were a killer, and I found the moving lunges hard too.
I think I will go for shred level 2 later today, or I might try shred 1 and 2, I'll see how it goes, I wasn't expecting NMTZ to be so hardcore!!!
