Ok- I've done a couple of these and really like them. I think it's about time I join another one. I never lose much weight but I do lose inches. Make sure to track inches or you'll get frustrated
I learned the hard way.
I will probably start early but I'm glad to have found this group.0 -

I have all of her videos as well & am SO ready for this. Need the motivation so was looking for a good group to join for August & glad I found it! I'm actually going to start tonight because if I put it off until August 1st then I just know I won't start at all...LOL! I'm also doing another round of C25K training so will incorporate that in there. So measurements & first round tonight!!
Good luck to you all & I'll share progress tomorrow!0 -

Thanks for starting us all off! You are doing great!
I'm still working through Ripped in 30 but I have decided to also add two circuits from NMTZ into the mix too. I want some additional ab and butt work since those are the areas that need the most work.
I can't wait to start the slimdown!0 -
Thanks coquetona...I am trying to set a good example...well, except for the wine...
Tomorrow is QTZ, I've decided that I am going to alternate even and odd sets...I think I will start with odds since the next day is a rest day...I really don't like the NMTZ...I much like cardio better.
Oh, I just bought the Ripped in 30 yesterday *wooo hooo*0 -
Hi Everyone-
So I am one of those people who workout hard for a month and dont see super dramatic results and then I quit....I have almost all of JM videos and love them just have a hard time finding time to do them. I have 2 babies at home (4 & 3) and they really dont give me time to do anything. I have decided that I am going to start getting up at 5 am before work and do my video and then do one at night when the kids are sleeping as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this faster. I have had the last 6 months to lose 25-30 pounds and now I only have 37 days until my best friends wedding.....HELP!!!!!0 -
Sounds like a good plan!! I only have 30 DS and i am still a bit heavy to do that very often, I'll work on doing that more often tho!! Good luck with your month!0

You're setting a great example!
It's so hard for me not to not drink wine! I know exacly where you are coming from! I make homemade wine a lot... It's a wonderful hobby but when you have 70+ bottles in your closet and you are trying to lose weight it is extremely challenging not to drink it. haha0 -

I definitely know where you are coming from on this one! Before I joined MFP I also would start doing something and would last two weeks to a month and then give up. I have been a member of MFP since the end of May and can really see a difference in my body. Support was key for me and also learning that slow and steady is the best way to approach it. The best thing I can say is to pick a program and finish it! Once I did the 30DS I felt so great that now I'm doing Ripped in 30 and don't even think of quitting as an option. Once I finished the 30DS program and saw the changes, I didn't want to stop. If you ever feel like you want to quit, message us and we will help push you through. Also don't diet, try to make healthier choices daily. Hope some of this was useful. Good luck!

Do you know the Afton Alps area? That's where they did it. The hills were HORRIBLE. Lots and lots of hills.
Funny thing is, my hubs and I were walking up the hills and talking about Biggest Loser and I was feeling sorry for them. I can only imagine what their days are like.0 -

I've already had too many days off according to "The Plan"...but, I sure am enjoying the summer and staying active. That's what it's really all about, right?0 -
Just wanted everyone to know that on my Day 7 of the slimdown:
I did 4 real push-ups
Bumped up the weight to 8 lbs for chest flys and back rows
Burned 150 calories which is down from the 180s, means that my heart is getting stronger as well
Punching squats with 3 lb. weights
It's all good
I'm excited for you all to get started0 -
I just found this thread, and I am so glad!!! I am currently in a 30DS challenge, and someone brought up the 30 Day Slimdown and I really want to do it! I might overlap a few days; my 30DS will end on Aug 3rd….but I might as well keep the momentum going I like your version @coquetona with RI30 and adding in the Level 3 exercises in there! I think I’ll do a combo between that and the original, as I don’t yet have her 6 week 6 pack dvd! I am very excited about this!!!
