Ripped in 30 - Month of August - Who is with me?

I checked my measurements on day 15 and I had already lost 1 inch from my waist, almost 1 inch from hips and thighs, and 1/2 inch off my arms! Today I started week 3. Last night I was trying to imagine what duck walks looked like. I see why everyone talks about them. My leg muscles were on fire! Am I the only one who couldn't even jump on one leg? I was so nervous that my ankles wouldn't hold me, so I just did jump rope instead. I think I only did half of every exercise and I had to take a lot of breaks. Every time I start feeling like I am in pretty good shape, Jillian shows me that I have a long way to go! Is it just me who thinks ripped in 30 is alot harder than 30ds? I'm really starting to question whether or not I can handle week 4? So how is everyone doing? Has anyone checked their measurements yet? I hope everyone sticks with it and has amazing results!

Brilliant results! Go you! I've actually seen a difference even though I haven't done it for 11 days now - I have even dropped weight, fat % and inches since I had to stop Ripped 11 days ago - especially my thighs! But I don't want to be skinny fat so i'll be getting back to it asap. I'd love to hear if anyone has measurements or fat % results so far that they could tell us.

If you don't think that you can handle wk 4 then why not go back to one of the other weeks, or the Shred and use your hand weights through as many moves as possible. And make sure you don't modify - you will still build your strength and fitness until you are ready for wk 4. That's what I will be doing if I need to rather than risking injury.

Count me in. I'm 46 with thyroid issues.... and 5 kids, I've had trouble with weight issues since my pre-teen's I'm looking to lose...and keep off 60 pounds.....Started Ribbed in 30 on Monday with my 18 yo daughter.....she's schooling me!!!!

Don't want to put you off LKMatlock, but have you been exercising before doing Ripped? Personally I wouldn't recommend it as a first dvd, I would be more inclined to do the 30 Day Shred first. It's still really difficult and gets results but will help build your stamina for Ripped. Good luck with our weight loss and fitness journey.
Hey no problem, I've been walking 2 miles for about a month. I haven't been able to do the entire 30 minutes yet without stopping, but I'll build up to that....even if I have to do week 1 twice....

Hi Fellow Ripped in 30 folks.
Today I am on week 1 Day 6. Ready to kick some booty with Jillian Micheals, she is pretty awesome.
Need some friends on here doing the same things as me. Hope to also be supportive to others who need it

Quite a few folk on here still keeping at it, so pleased keep us all updated with your progress. I will pop in from time to time even though I can't do Ripped at the mo, but will be getting back to it as fast as I possibly can and still like to offer my support.


Keep it up everyone, you are putting me to shame and making me feel like a slacker, but reading about your progress really motivates me to get back to it as soon as this pain goes.

Oh my god I feel so uncoordinated doing week 3! Plus I'm sure they've missed the 2nd set of weights in circuit one? Even the backing girls go to grab their weights but jillian goes straight into cardio?

I think week 3 is going to be tough to get through!

It gets easier! The 1st day i did wk 3 i thought it was the longest 30 mins ever! But im on day 4 now and it seems to go so fast! (Thank God!) Its prob because im more focused on how much my arms and legs are screaming! I think you'll be fine! Just keep pushing yourself and you'll make it through! I still have to take a few quick breaks during it!

I hope so! I'm going to stick with it, but right now I hate week 3!!:laugh:

Yea week 3 just sucks but on a positive note i heard week 4 isnt as bad.. Although i think the whole dvd is tough! lol. I want to eventually gain more strength and do it again and see if i do better next time!

Is ripped in 30,the part 2 of 30 day shred,???!!,cause i started 30day shred today,...& was wondering if thats the next dvd to do?I have p90x,and plan on doing the lean program only after i shed some weight first to take it easey on my joints!
