Let us know a little about you!
Here's my intro:
I'm Chandra, 32 year old wife and mommy to two boys, an 8-year-old and a 2-month-old. I'm currently a work-at-home mom and I'm loving it! I stay super busy but I make it a point to find time to take care of my body. I started off in July 2010 at 199lbs. I lost 50lbs, then got pregnant. I gained 32lbs, and I'm currently about 15lbs away from where I was pre-pregnancy. I'm currently finishing up a round of 30 Day Shred, and I plan to start Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution on June 1, after finishing Ripped in 30 in May.

I purchased the Ripped (instead of the Shred) by error yesterday. Should I do the Shred first?0

Hello! My name is Allison. I have a wonderful husband and two boys. In 6 days I will be graduating from college! I am not on level 4 of Ripped in 30, and I love it! I plan on starting over again with this group on May 1. Good luck everybody!0

I bought Ripped in 30 first and did it. I don't see why you have to do the Shred first.0

:happy: Hello **waves**
Im Beccy, 29 live in the uk with my husband and our 2 children - Millie 6, Josh 5
Ripped in 30 dropped through my door yesterday (along with killer buns) and im looking forward to getting started!!
Im a massive JM fan and love her dvds. I lost a lot of inches with the shred but after my youngest started school in September I went back to work during the day and have found it harder to fit it in. I have restarted the shred numerous times this year but to be honest I think im bored of it and never get past day 5 before getting distracted. I feel a new challenge is needed!
I look forward to getting to know you all and getting ripped!!0 -
I bought the Ripped in 30 DVD almost one year ago and have yet to commit fully. I hope this group helps keep me focused and on target. Now I'm thinking about buying the 30 Day Shred DVD as well.0

I am new to MyFitnessPal but have owned Ripped in 30 for almost a year without fully committing to it. I am hoping this group will help me stay motivated!0

Hello,
I am 48 years of age, 3 children and 3 grandchildren. I weigh 127 lbs, I am 5' 3.5". I got Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred and do not know which one to start with. My weight lost is at a stand still and that can be due to my just now starting to incorporate weights into my fitness routine. I want to be at least 120 - 125. I try to eat as clean as I can, but can do better.0 -
Hi All, I am starting level 4 today. It's a love hate relationship I have with JM. While doing the workouts I hate it and yes sometimes curse her (like she says you should be doing in level 3) but afterwards I love the fact that I did it For those of you just starting - be sure to take your measurements. I have only lost 4lbs since starting but 2 inches off waist and 5 inches overall. And the best part is everyone is asking "what are you doing? you look great"
I did 30 Day Shred last November. Some of the moves are the same but Ripped has less redundancy. I recommend when you finish one do the other. Muscle confusion will help prevent plateaus.0 -
Hi,
I'm Susanna, 31, married and mother of a little girl. I started getting serious about getting fit and losing weight in late March of this year. I am currently working on the 30 Day Shred (L3D4 today) and have had wonderful results so far. 9 lbs of weight loss and 7.75 inches lost. Hoping to keep my progress going on the Ripped in 30 when I start on May 1st! Feel free to add me - it's nice to have friends doing similar workouts for the extra support! Good luck everyone!0 -
Hi everyone,
Im stacy and I am 30 years old with a wonderful husband and 2 wonderful boys 10 and 20 months! I started mfp in jan and i never thought losing weight could be so easy! I guess cause i never really tried! After having babies I have been carrying a extra 25 lbs. I have lost 15 since starting MFP and today was my last day of 30 day shred and it was great!! I love my results!! I am going to buy Ripped in today but I think I am gonna go ahead and start in the morning!! Good luck to you all!!!0 -
Hello,
My name is Rhonda, I'm a 41 yr. old mother of 2 teens, work fulltime, and attending taking courses at my local college,I'm currently at 225.4lbs and 5' 2.5" tall. I need to put more effort into my workouts, i do aerobics 3 times a week, and hopefully by joining your group i can accomplish alot more. By the way, i foolishly bought a size 12 dress that i can't get into, with the help of my son, who told me "Mom, you can lose weight to get into this dress", if he can believe in me, then i can

Hi! My name is Sandra, I'm the proud Mom of four boys! Down about 36pds, lots more to go. But most of all just want to be fit. I work full time, so doing this work out will definetly be a challange (just having to do it with those 4 boys around!), but a challange I'm ready for. I'm going to brave before pictures! Excited there is a group so we can go this road together! I will start May 1 as well!0

Hi my name is Kim and I have twin boys age 7. I am currently in a group on our last week of the 30 day shred. Although I love the workout, I haven't seen any dramatic results yet, so I'm excited to start a new routine and hopefully get "ripped" before summer! I've never been able to stick with a workout plan until I joined the group for the shred. I love how motivating it is when you're doing it together as a group. The discussion boards are an awesome way to share our challenges, our success, and keep each other motivated!0

Thank-you for the words of encouragement 0

How do you track your Ripped In 30 workouts? 30 mins I am sure that's a 200-300 calorie burn but I don't see how to log it.0

Hi Im Angela! I have been on a weight loss journey for almost 3 years. I lost 90 lbs before I got pregnant and back to my weight loss journey again. I am finishing the 30 DS and now I am going to do Ripped in 30. Chandra (the maker of this group) and I have been doing this together and it seems to be helping me alot! I haven't done Ripped in 30 so I am excited for a change of pace.0

Use Circuit Training General. This is circuit training that she is doing by varying between cardio, strength, and ab circuits.0

Hi everyone!
I'm so glad I've found this group! I'm currently on level 3 and haven't had the courage to attempt level 4 yet. I just love all of JM's DVDs and her podcasts. Right now I'm only doing the video 2-3 times a week along with lifting weights at the gym twice a week. Overall I've lost 42 lbs. from using MFP and the 30 day shred and now...Ripped in 30!0 -
Hey!! My name is Ashley! I am a mother to a 4 year old dirt with noise (boy-haha). I am on L3D4 of 30 day shred and have lost 11 inches so far. No actual pounds though unfortunately!
