    I am on Day 6 of Week 1 and WOW I can already tell a difference in the shape of my body ESPECIALLY my butt! WHERE did that come from!? Ive NEVER had a butt! :))))) I am so excited to see how week 3 and 4 come along. But I have a question-I can't even finish the "running man" exercise throughout the whole segment. Other than that-I can do most of the other exercises (some with modifications like the reverse crunch-OUCH) Should I advance to week 2 in a couple days even though I am still struggling with week one. Plus-I can only do 5 "man" pushups-I am scared of what kind of pushups might be coming up. I think I may do week 1 for another week. Any suggestions?

    Hey! I might would try Week 1 a couple more days? If the push-ups are hard now, the plank position she has you in for 2 minutes of cardio in Week 2 could be pretty difficult for you...she likes planks in W2 :sad:

    Have you took your day of rest yet? Other than that "Bring It" :ohwell: They say W3 & 4 are killer.....and I'm on 3 next week.....anxiously awaiting my torture!

    I just finished my 1st Ripped in 30, week one. I plan to do it only 3 days per week, and do cardio (TF) the other 3 days. I already worked out for 30 min early this morning, but I just have to step it up. Even week 1 of R30 was tough! I've been exercising regularly for 25+ years, but unfortunately the past 2 weeks I did nothing due to some issues. I could tell the difference in my stamina, that's for sure. I have 25 lbs to lose and am really determined to do it this time.

    Good morning ladies! Today is my rest day -- YAY! :wink: I seem to have hit a plateau....I weigh the exact same this month as I did last month (of course I fluctate a lb or 2....so on some days I have lost). This is with working out, calorie counting, water drinking, etc. I read on one of Jillian's posts that the last 5-10 "vanity" lbs are the hardest because your body is trying to hold on to what fat is left!?! DAAAAAANNNGG it.....she wasn't kidding! Any suggestions? It's so frustrating to work your rear off and the scale barely move!!! I know it's just a number but it's bugging the pee out of me :sad: Atleast my clothes say different, and I've lost inches.....I just know what my body is capable of "weighing" and, dang it, I want it there!!!!! HEEEEELP!!!!!

    Day 3 week 2 done this morning. Moving right along :) Hopefully I'll be ready for week 3 next week! :wink:

    doverx4: Maybe it's just muscle gain? I know it's true though that the body really fights those last few pounds. I understand it is very frustrating, I've been there before myself :) These workouts do build muscle though so that's just my guess....keep up the good work!

    Just got the dvd today and tried it out. Week 1 wasn't as intense of Level 1 of the Shred (IMO) but I definitely still worked up a sweat and feel great!

    Day 4 Week 2 done :) Wasn't so bad this morning, still trying to master the solid 2 minutes of plank work in circuit one though...lol. That is a killer! This morning I started drinking a protein drink right after to "replenish" my body. I got the Body Fortress Whey protein powder in chocolate and mixed it with a cup of Silk Almond Milk....it was very tasty, just like chocolate milk. I do have to say however that I wasn't crazy about the smell, so I just held my breath and drank it down :)

    Welcome back Kaylah! I'm glad you are feeling better :)

    TGIF everyone....Yay! :happy:

    First circuit planks kick my *kitten*, completely. :grumble: However, I'm feeling stronger every time I do this dvd. I checked out week 3 just to see what was in store for next week....it ain't pretty! :sad:
