    Since it is not in the data bank how are you logging the exercise? I was putting in high impact aerobics but I'm not sure it is giving me accurate calories burned since the DVD is cardio and strength. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the info ..I am starting 30DS Monday and just finished the 90 Day Body Revelution today..I am excited to start the 30DS and will get the Ripped in 30 after the 30 DS

    these videos will have to be part of my life from now on or I will just gain the inches again

    Doing the 90 day Revelution I am down over 20 lbs since January and my inches are down over 10 overall.. I measure Monday for accurate inches lost =) if I get brave I may post my before and after pics

    I did day 1 of week 2 yesterday. I did the 30 DS before this so thought it wouldn't be that hard but I sure was wrong! It's the 30DS on crack!

    I agree, I just did day two of week two and there are some moves that I am not sure I'll ever master. That said, I love this DVD, I can feel and see progress even after one week!

    You can create your own exercise, just like you can your own foods. I found a site that is helpful if you don't have a heart-rate monitor: http://www.fitclick.com/calories_burned?Workout_Programs_Videos&cc=969&page=22
    In the "then find exercise" box I entered jillian michaels and it pulled up a bunch of her workouts. Enter your weight and the amount of time you spend on the workout, and it shows you (roughly) how many calories you're burning.

    How do you create exercise and food on MPF?

    I'm about to start week 3 on Sunday. Any advice? I've heard it's killer; please tell me the cardio isn't all in plank! I had a hard time doing week 2 correctly (crawling situps and crow pushups - REALLY?) and have been a bit disappointed with the results (or lack thereof). Still got sweaty and sore, but not what I was hoping for. So for anyone who's on week 3, any words of advice/encouragement?
    Thanks!!

    I just finished my first day, level one, of Ripped in 30...it is VERY similar to the 30 Day Shred which I did in December 2011. That was the at the very beginning of my weight loss journey and it helped me lose 3lbs and over 6 inches off my body...Now, almost a year and a half later I have lost over 20lbs and the today's workout was do-able without any breaks! I only modified half of the push-ups because I haven't been doing my pushups regularly and theyre freakin hard!!

    I like that Ripped in 30 has 4 different workouts in week long increments (but you are only really doing 6 days of each week, what Jillian suggests). So instead of doing the same workout for 10 days straight like the 30-day Shred (BORING), you are only doing the workout for 6 days straight....this is more motivating for me. For example, I am telling myself now "ok, only 5 more days of this level, a day off, and then level 2!"...I get bored of workouts verrrry quickly, I never go to the gym because I find it boring. I am more of a person who likes doing fun activities for my exercise (ie. hiking, swimming, walking, playing sports, mountain climbing, canoeing, etc...).

    I was sweating today!! SO AWESOME! I am going to stick to this. It's only half an hour per day! EVERYONE has half an hour they can spare to better themselves! I burned 350 calories in that half an hour!! Woohoo!!! Will post pictures after I have completed the month challenge.

    ANYONE ELSE STARTING NOW??? WE CAN MOTIVATE EACHOTHER!! :D GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!! :D

    yes! thanks for the link! I entered it under Circuit Training and it is the most accurate I think, give or take a few calories.

    I just finished 7 days of Week 1 and I think I can try Week 2 tomorrow. I had some mixed feelings when I started it as I read some negative reviews regarding Jillian Michaels programs and results. But I decided to give it a try because I was so out of shape that anything could work for me! I'm glad I see so many people here using this program and having good results. Thanks for keeping posting your thoughts, pictures and experiences!
