    I was going to take measurements but I don't trust myself to measure the exact same spot each time. Hopefully I see a noticeable difference in pictures (before and after)! (haven't seen any changes yet.. although my legs and butt feel tighter to the touch)

    OMG!!! I just completed Week 2 Day 1. I sucked so bad doing this one. Hopefully, I'll get stronger as I do the workout more. My knees still hurt, but I'm going to just modify my movement when the pain hits.

    6 days of week one in the books, rest day tomorrow then on to week 2. Is anyone taking measurements? If so, how often? I think I will take pics after each week, and measurements after 2 weeks. Keep up the great everyone.
    I am not weighing myself at all, I've heard w/RI30 it's more about inches lost and yes I have before pics and will take after. I also measured before and will measure after I'm done with the DVD.

    Week 2 day 2 completed. I sucked less than I did yesterday. I graduated to my 3lb weights. Yippee! I'm trying to conquer these blasted planks. I will master them.

    I will hit the scale and take my measurements tomorrow. I've been measuring every two weeks and weighing myself every Sunday.

    Good job everyone! Just finished week 1! Will start week 2 on Monday or if I have time I will start tomorrow since I prefer to rest on a weekday!

    Planning on doing my first day of Week 3 after the Raven Game. Game is tied right before the first half. If we lose I will definatley have to get out some aggression and will be motivated to do RI30. If we win...who knowes. Maybe I will still be motivated from being excited.

    Go RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've heard week 3 is the hardest! Can't wait to hear about it. I'll be starting it Tuesday.
  • Hi All

    Good to see everyone is still 'enjoying' the workout :)

    I am not taking any measurements until I have finished and I am not weighing myself until 22/03/2013

    Mainly because I have an injection every 12 weeks and I have my weight taken by a nurse

    I don't own a set of scales :) but I only want to lose 10lbs roughly

    I am still on week 2 and the plank jacks are really getting me going. Not moving onto week 3 until Tuesday
  • jaztoderan - Ohhh snap for tuesday :)

    :D two more days and we'll be at the halfway point! I'm excited. This is the most consistently I've ever worked out.. usually would go through a 3-4 week kick and still only workout a couple days a week. Feels good to keep pressing "copy from yesterday" for my exercise log.

    halfway through week 3 and its getting easier! I weighed myself on saturday and had actually gained weight! So i'm going to ignore the scales and just judge by measurements and photos. 3 more day til week 3 eeeek!

    Week 2 day 3 completed! I actually lost two pounds and one inch from my waist . I usually don't lose any weight doing Jillian' s workouts. But I'm also kicking in a little extra cardio and starting to eat clean .

    Good luck to everyone as we press forward!

    Lol....meant to type 3&5lbs weights! Ugh my arms are still shaky from the workout!
  • Hey Ladies.

    Was a bit lacklustre today. Completed the session but today I just couldn't get into it :(

    Still Monday is my last day on level 2 so might just be getting itchy to get to level 3

    Hi all, Just wondering how you track calories burned for ripped in 30? I wasnt able to find it in the list of exercises.

    I finally did the first day of Week3. I didn't do it yesterday like I was supposed to because I was watching the Raven game and we WON in double over time. Second year to AFC Championship. Hopefully we make it to the superball this year for Ray Lewis's last year. :sad:

    Ok, so running lunges SUCK!!!! I thought I was going to fall down. I do like the fact that there are less planks. I agree with brenperez18-they hurt my wrist really bad. I do like crawing around on the floor though. Hurt my legs like crazy but it was something different.

    So pround of my self that I actually made it this far. I never finished anything when it comes to working out. It is my goal to finish this DVD then to move on to all the other DVD's I have. I even have Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders work out. :laugh:

    So until tomorrow! :drinker:

    Hi, I just found this group. I have been doing Ripped in 30 for a week now and this morning completed - well as best I could - Level 2 day 1. I found the plank moves difficult as my shoulders are just not strong enough.

    My wrists were hurting too but I did see somewhere (long ago) that a tip for this is to maybe do the plank on your weights - so like the Renegade rows but without doing the row part. I will try this tomorrow morning and will let you know if it makes a difference.

    Day 4 Week 2 complete. Really went for it today and boy can I feel it! I don't get any pains in my wrists, but I used to in 30 day shred, so they must be a lot stronger now! Can't wait for week 3 though. Getting bored of this one now.

    Hi all, Just wondering how you track calories burned for ripped in 30? I wasnt able to find it in the list of exercises.

    If you don't have a heart rate monitor, there's a general circuit training that you can use. You are probably burning more calories than it'll give you, though. If you have a heart rate monitor, you can create you own exercise under cardiovascular and label it.

    Congratulations to all of the progress that everyone's making!!! Knock, knock...Quarter test! My booty hurts so bad. :sad: I'd cry if someone tried to bounce a quarter of it.

    So I did my workout and I hate to say this, but I am not enjoying this week, I hope I get better at it.

    @Amanda372, thanks for the tip, it was better!

    Hello everyone :)

    I just started Ripped in 30 today, after completing the 30 Day Shred on Saturday (1/12). Day 1 of Level 1 really was an awesome workout and I felt pretty darn good after completing it! I may feel differently tomorrow. LOL

    @racerchick31-Welcome to the group! Congrats on finishing 30 Day Shred!

    I wasn't going to take any rest days unless I absolutely needed to.. well I absolutely need to take today off! I had the most intense hot yoga session.. it was way hotter than normal and the instructor was brutal. I'm wiped & have a dehydration headache! So water and rest tonight. Starting week 3 tomorrow to keep on schedule.

    Everyone's doing so good, this is awesome!

    @Amanda372, thanks for the tip, it was better!

    I used the weights today and it was better too - apart from my shoulders not lasting the full circuit though ... COME ON!!!GET IN THE GAME! stoopid shoulders.

    I also have problems with the sitting to table move - I'm not sure if it's because my arms are too short / my bum too big / my muscles not strong enough but I can't lift myself off the floor unless my arms are behind me which is what Jillian says not to do. So near the end of the exercise it dawned on me that I could use the weights again as mini platforms and it was much better. Need to remember that for next time!!
