Hi all!
We'll have a dedicated post for each week on Ripped In 30!
Keep us updated on your success and commitment here. And if you find this group is not for you after all, no worries, but please be sure to "un-join" the group so we have an accurate idea of how many start/finish this challenge.
This looks like a great group of folks and let's welcome and encourage each other along the way. Many of us are coming off @melgibson's Serious Shredders Group (which ends today, 11/15) and found the camaraderie to be very inspiring. That's the idea here--to continue!
So get out you Ripped In 30 DVD or download and prepare to fire up your engines. Let us know what day/level you are on each day.
Cheers to the group and feel free to take measurements so we can track our successes at the end of the month. If someone wants to volunteer to total up the inches/pounds lost by the group 30 days from now, that would be awesome!

I'm so excited I happened upon this group today! I was just thinking I needed a way to keep up on this awesome workout plan, and you just happened to be starting tomorrow. Coincidence? I think not!0

Starting tomorrow too, I'll take my starting weight & measurements & body fat % in the morning. So glad I joined this group, I need out of the rut!!!! I'll be needing some people to give me a big kick in the *kitten*!0

Can't wait to get started and actually completing the DVD challenge this time around

I did day 1 yesterday and am super sore. About to (attempt to) do day 2 haha. It didn't seem too difficult at the time but oh man going upstairs hurt afterward.0
-
Hi to all my co Rippers,Still waiting for my package(dvd). I will weigh/measure today.I will be doing my workout tonight.0
-
D2W1-2 days complete!
I love this DVD and its only day 2 !
Thank goodness for 30ds before this or else I would be so screwed. I'm glad Jillian has already been kicking my butt for 30 days0 -
Hello, I am happy to start with you all. I seem to never get past level 1. I want to get through the entire DVD this time! I am sure I will with all of your support.0
-
Heading to bed so I can get up early and rock this DVD! Good luck to all who are starting tomorrow!0
-
I did W1D1 yesterday but I've come down with a bad cold/flu so I think I'll have to use today as a rest day. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. :yawn:0
-
Today is my start day. Determined to do Day 1 workout as soon as I get home from work, before I do anything else. I did my starting weight & measurements this morning:
Hips: 38in
Waist: 30.5in
Chest: 37.25in
Thigh: 21.5in
Weight: 138lb
Body Fat%: 26%
Can't wait to see the results after a month. My plan is to do weekly weigh-ins & body fat, but not doing my measurements until after the end of the 30 days. I think I will do my weigh-ins on Friday mornings. I tend to do very well during the week, but slack off on the weekends. Maybe if I see improvements on my Friday morning weigh-ins, I will be a little more motivated to keep myself in check over the weekends.
Let's get started!!!0 -
Looks like I broke through my plateau. I finally dropped under 147. Also took measurements for the first time in ages and was pleasantly surprised that I'm 2 inches smaller in the waist and hips than last time I checked. Thigh is 22.5.
SO SORE.0 -
Picked up the DVD on my way home last night and was so excited I started level 1 as soon as I got home!!:laugh:
Anyway, I guess I did W1D2 this morning as I plan on going to Zumba tonight.
Feeling great!
Also did my measurements:
Hips: 41
Waist: 31
Chest 40
Thigh 24.5
Weight 157.40 -
Good morning!
Week 1 Day 1 D-O-N-E
What a great workout! Took a little longer than The Shred but I got a great burn per my HRM -- 216 calories.
I'll do measurements later.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!0 -
Hello fellow Rippers!
I'm so excited to get started! I just finished 30-DS two days ago and my body is feeling sore but ready to go! I joined MFP about 6 weeks ago and started 30-DS 2 weeks in, right around the 10th of October, I believe. I have lost a total of about 7-8 lbs and 11 inches from my entire body. i can't WAIT to see what results i get from ripped, especially the inches. i couldn't believe it! Here are my starting stats, taken yesterday:
Bust: 37.25
Waist: 31.25
Hips: 40
Abdomen: 37.75
Thigh: 21.5
Arm: 11.5
Calf: 14
Body fat %: 27.4
Weight: 160
I exercise at night so I will be back here tonight to say how it went! Glad to be a part of this group with you all- let's get Ripped!!0 -
Hello fellow rippers,
I just finished 1 workout, It's day 1 level 1 week 1 Of Ripped in 30.
My measurements:
Bust = 38"
Waist = 34"
Hips = 37"
Arms = 12.5"
Thighs = 21"
My weight = 146.4lbs0 -
Good morning!!
I took my measurements but they're at home, and I'm not...so I'll have to post them later. I do know my weight was 159.4 and my BMI is 22.9 according to the weigh-in app that I use on my phone.
I'm very proud of myself today! I am soooo against getting up earlier than absolutely necessary - for anything - ever. I value my sleep. I plan my workouts for after work normally. But I do Jazzercise after work on most days, and have started C25K also which I am doing on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work and on a weekend day (at least that's the plan). But, I really wanted to do this Ripped in 30 as well. I wasn't willing to give up Jazzercise more nights, since I already gave up two for the running. Didn't wanna give up my running now that I'm going again - it's kind of a dream of mine to be able to run. And I knew that to think I was going to go home and complete a video every evening of the week after already doing another workout of some sort was just unrealistic...and what about dinner, and the errands, and whatever else may come up along the way, you know? Plus, what about just being able to relax once in a while?!
SO....
I actually got up early this morning. And did the Ripped in 30 video. Hooray for me!! My HRM says I burned 321 calories. Not bad for an early morning!!0 -

Be proud!!! That is SOOOO awesome!!! I wish I could do a workout in the morning, but I already have to get up at 4:40am. I get home at 4:00pm & I just have to force myself to do R in 30 as soon as I walk in the door, before anything else.0 -
RI30 Week 1 Day 1 (workout 1) DONE!!!
That was great
30DS really prepared me well for RI30 - I hope that I can stick with it
Happy ripping everyone 0 -
Getting ready to do Day 1. Was wondering if there is a way to check the group messages on the app on my phone? I rarely log in online?0

That's awesome! Also, I'm jealous and inspired! I weighed in at 165.8 this morning, and my HRM only gave me 194 calories for the work out. I have to step it up!0 -
OK, my official check in:
Weigh, 165.8lbs, BMI of 26.0
Waist 33.5
Hips 40.0
Right Thigh 24.0
Left Thigh 24.0
Right Arm 11.5
Left Arm 11.5
Chest 37.0 (hoping this one goes, up, lol. Been hoping that one for years though.)
Woke up a little early to do Week 1 Day 1, but didn't save enough time and was almost late to work. I'll be up a bit earlier tomorrow. Also did a little incline walk at lunchtime on the treadmill, so burn for today so far is about 340. Here we go!
Couple of questions:
What size dumbbells do you use?
How often do you track your weight and measurements?0 -

Thanks! My HRM also takes into account the state of my body, according to what I read in the instruction manual.... I did Jazzercise class on Monday and my thighs were still sore from some of the leg work...plus I went running last night - Day 1 of the Couch to 5K program...so when I worked out this morning some of it, especially the cardio, was a real struggle. My legs were tired!! And I was sweating pretty good by the end of it.
I saw your other question also: I used 5 pound weights because that's the lowest I had...I had to put them down a time or two. I think I might buy some 2 or 3 pound weights this evening on my way home after Jazzercise.
I weigh unofficially every morning, and officially once a week. And measuring once a month works for me!!0 -
D3W1 - 3 days complete!
I just realized that I didnt do any starting measurements so here they are.
height: 5'6"
jean size: 8
weight: 153.3 lbs
bust: 35.5"
chest: 32"
waist: 32.5"
tummy: 38.5"
hips: 39.5"
R Thigh: 24.5"
L Thigh: 23.5"
R Arm: 11.5"
L Arm: 11.5"
Lol I love going into great detail with my measurements because my success only somewhat shows up on the scale but is crazy awesome when it comes to the inches 0 -
Hello RIPPERS!!! :bigsmile:
I have joined you all!!
I just did the workout for the first time and I have to say I rather enjoyed that!!! :happy:
I'm really pleased that I decided to go right into this workout and not have a break.
For me this level seemed quite a bit easier than doing the shred with heavier weights.
I am using light weights for this level, that is right isn't it?
I still have a horrible cold and feel tired and washed out but I am going to stick at this and I think when I come out the other side I will feel much stronger for pushing through and exercising daily.
Also it's quite good that this doesn't feel too hard to me at the moment as I'm really not up to a really tough workout, I am dreading those planks that she has warned us about, I really don't want to build my shoulders any more, I need to work more on legs and middle, but I will follow the program and hope that I see some good results over all.
Must weigh in tomorrow morning again and measure and post start weight and measurements.
Good luck to everyone one!!! :drinker:
It's great to see so many familiar faces here. Look forward to supporting you all in the next month :flowerforyou:0 -
Day one Done!
Even though there are no v raises, I had forgotten from the shred how much I hated the side lunges with arm lifts. At least this time it's only 30 sec chunks, so slightly more bearable. And after doing punches with weights, my arms were flying!!
Need to up the weights a wee bit tomorrow, but after a good swim this morning, not feeling as strong as usual...I'll break this plateau if its the last thing I do!!0 -
Finished D1W1, at first I was thinking this is too easy. I changed my mind after circuit 2 lol. I will agree with others that doing 30DS helped quite a bit, and I am sooooo not happy for the return of side lunges. I actually enjoyed the workout, now if I could just get my digital copy to stop acting up life would be perfect. Glad to see some familiar faces from 30DS, and looking forward to getting to know those of you who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet. Lets rock it out!
Starting Measurements following, I'm such a nerd I made a sheet to record my progress on excel. I generally weigh in and take measurements twice a week on Mon and Thurs, it worked for 30DS (lost total of 4.5 pounds and 12.125 inches) let's hope it works for Ripped!
Weight: 165.5
Waist: 36.75
Hips: 40.75
Chest: 38.5
R Bicep: 11.5
L Bicep: 11.5
R Thigh: 23.75
L Thigh: 23.5
R Calf: 14.75
L Calf: 14.8750 -
Completed Week 1 Day 1 this morning. Took measurements this time. I'll have to update my info later; I don't have the paper I wrote them down on in front of me.
Does anyone know who to calculate how many calories are burned. I always kinda guess low when inputting in on the app on my phone .0 -
Starting today! I will post again with my weight and measurements tomorrow. I cant wait!0
