    I did 30DS but my after pic probably wouldn't help, as I didn't have any weight to lose...just wanted to tone up. I will say that the DVD kicked my butt!! haha. I'm currently doing Ripped In 30 -- love it -- but haven't done it in a couple of weeks due to a run I'm training for on Saturday.

    Did it help you tone though?

    That would be great! Thanks! My husband did only 4 days of the week 1 workouts on Ripped in 30 and lost 6.5 inches so hopefully he'll keep losing and keep working out with me! I want to do 6 week 6 pack next...

    Good luck.... I can't get my husband to do anything exercise related with me. SUCKS!!:grumble:

    My husband and I have known each other since High School. I have never had luck getting him to exercise with me either. He just isn't into it. Back in January I got him to start going on hikes with our family. I was over the moon excited about this. Then on the 10th of January he was in a really bad car accident. He broke some ribs and has been having back spasms. It's taking a while to heal, so I am of course encouraging him to take it easy and take things at his own pace. I am just hoping that after he is better he will want to go for family hikes again. It was SOOOO much fun, and I hope this accident did not make it so that the momentum was lost. We'll see. I am just glad he is okay!!! It was pretty scary for a while there.

    Ok, here they are....let me just say I love Jillian Michael's DVD's...I bought Ripped In 30 maybe 3 days into 30DS. I lost maybe 1" off my waist but my running times have gone from maybe a 9:00 minute mile to 7:45! I recently ran an 8k in 38:24 something like that. I'm preparing for my first marathon this weekend.

    Btw, the beer wasn't for me lol...don't even really drink beer more of a gin and tonic guy.

    Wow, that's awesome! Was that just the Ripped in 30 then or did you wind up doing them both at the same time?

    I tried 30DS for 2 days and gave up. That lady made me hurt in areas i've never hurt before. Although her partners were quite nice to look at.

    I've actually only done 30 Day Shred....I did it in about 45 days or so. While I lost a little in the pics it really doesn't show the difference in your body; before then I could only do a plank for a few seconds haha. Jillian has you doing them for a couple of minutes!

    I have the Ripped In 30 DVD, and I've done maybe 10 days, but I started training for a marathon about a month ago so haven't had the time to complete it just yet. My race is Saturday so I'll get back to it starting next week.

    Haha, I can agree with both things you've said. Although on the lady part, I liked them because they motivated me more (because I want abs like that one day!) But I do have to tell you, by the 3rd day, you'll feel so much better and it will be a lot easier! You should try it again!

    I think you'll really enjoy the Ripped in 30. It's a kick in the *kitten* but it works! Week 2 just might be the death of me but I'm going to push through!

    My husband did 30DS got to halfway through Stage Three - he didn't do it every day, more like 3 times a week until he had completed each stage.

    He only stopped doing it because he decided to join the gym which is a success story in itself imo! Oh and he lost 15lb while he was doing it too :drinker:

    I was doing Tae-Bo for past couple months. My wife just recently got the Jillian Michaels Revolution DVD set and we are into 2nd week. I started at the same time she did and I can say it is much harder a workout then Tae-Bo was ever. Man I use to tease her about her "girl" workouts til Jillian kicked my butt. I am loving them even if I am learning to hate her. lol
