Yay! I was just thinking I should pick this back up while I have some time off from work and so I looked through groups and found this right in the nick of time!

I work with horses. Just moved to Ohio a couple months ago for a job as a trainer's assistant but it turned out my boss was crazy so I moved back to MN and will start working for a different trainer this weekend. I figure I better start now while I can afford to be sore. Plus now I have some room to move! I had zero extra space at my Ohio job as I was given a trailer to live in and before that I shared a bedroom with another intern. Now I live in a house yaaaaay.

Been on here a while, lost over 20 lbs and gained a little back from stress eating and travel etc. so I'm looking to get a jump start back into it.

Hi guys! I actually started RI30 two days ago, hopefully you don't mind I'm here to get into shape! I also joined a 30DS group, so I will be doing both for the month of May.

My stats super quick:
5'1"
SW: 135
CW: 129
GW: 100

I think you're my twin! I'm 5'1" and 128. My goal weight is 115 right now. I did 30DS last month and haven't lost any weight yet. Hopefully the end of Ripped I will see some results. Good luck to you!!!

HI I know it's May 2nd, but is it too late to join???
I'm trying to be totally motivated for 30 days and the extra motivation would be great.

I'm Jill and I just found these groups - I'm a Fitbit User and saw that there were more challenges on this website so thought I'd give this a try.

I've lost 40 lbs so far and trying to lose that last deadly 10 lbs. More then anything I just want to firm up and get rid of the wiggle and jiggle that's left. I'm 45 years old - will turn 1 year older this month! yikes! and don't want to let the body go any further down then it already has.

I've been a Jillian Michaels DVD fan for a while. She can get on your nerves, but love her DVD for the awesome workout.

Jill, jump right in! I'm posting daily according to what level I'm on. And yes, Jillian can be annoying but the workout is effective!

Hi my name is Samantha, I've started ripped in 30 a few times but have lacked the discipline to stick with it. I'm hoping this group can help me with that. I plan on doing it 5-6 days per week. I have a 15 month old daughter and just want to tone up and lose the extra pounds I still have.

Hi All, my name is Jaime. I started Ripped in 30 just 2 days ago. I am sore for sure, but well worth it! I love all of the Jillian DVD's that I have tried! If we stick together we can do this!!! Good Luck girls

Hello everyone

I am a 25 year old mother of three young boys (3, 5 and 6), and hoping to shift about a stone over the next 6 weeks using this DVD and a healthy eating plan. I have been following Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 DVD (irregularly) throughout May, but having just had a week off due to illness (children give you the best presents, lol), I'm looking for a little motivation to get started again properly. I've just purchased some heavier weights (3kg) as I was finding my 1.5kg ones too easy, and am looking forward to 30 days of hard work (well, 26 with one day off each week). I will start again at week 1, and try to work through, although I must admit after my one and only attempt at week 3 I don't know how far I'll get! I figure just sticking to one of the workouts a day for 30 days has to be good though!

Maybe if anyone else is starting over the next few days we could do weekly check-ins, what do you think?

Wishing all of you the best of luck :happy:

hay, im meg!
i am 14, 5'11" and ready to get in shape!
I will start Ripped in 30 tomorrow (so excited)

Hi I'm Andrea and I just did day 1 of week 1 today. I have two kids Izzy who's 4 and JD who's 2. I've been married to my wonderful hubby for 4 years but dated a few years prior so together for over 6. We are currently living is Seoul South Korea. Its nice for the most part. Hard however not really knowing many people or speaking the language (trying to learn it though). CW is 142 I am about midway through my journey. Started in Jan without MFP at 165 was at 146 when I joined MFP. I feel like I'm at an ok weight. I have a bigger build for my height and have never been super thin. The thinnest I have been is 135. More than anything right now I'm trying to get back to 135 so I'm almost there and I am in desperate need of some toning!

Hello everyone! I started the Ripped in 30 today. I hope i can keep it up! I need to be in shape for next month. I'm looking to tone up and be more defined, as well as lose a few extra pounds.

:drinker:

Hi everyone.

I just picked up RI30 last night. I got it because I thought the 20 minute work out seemed a little less intimidating to me than longer ones. I figure that I can do anything for 20 minutes.

I am a 36 year old mother of 4, my youngest is 10. I work as a librarian and do bits of things at home to make some extra money. I also occasionally help with our goat farm. This winter I put on 20 pounds and lost a lot of muscle. I hate the cold and I also get seasonal mood changes so I don't tend to take good care of myself in winter. I weighed about 168 at the start of 2012. Now I have creeped up to 184. I am doing RI30 mostly to get my fitness back up. Any weight lost will be a bonus.

Today I started. I sweat a lot. I had to modify some of the moves. One I could not really do but I tried my best. I am already sore. I can tell this will kick my butt.

Hello from the U.P. of Michigan.
My name is Kelsey and I am a mom of three, ages 6, 4 and 3 months. I picked up Ripped in 30 about three weeks ago and got through level two. Then my PMS week came and I got all of track and eating everything in sight. This is my problem area. I'm back on track now. I'm just starting over because I feel like I lost some of what I gained. I just started week 1 again one day ago.

As mentioned above, my youngest is three months. About 9 months after having my second, I dropped 20 lb. and maintained it for the next three years. Now I have to start all over again. I have about 4 lb. to go to reach the weight I was when I got pregnant. Ideally, I want to drop at least 10 more. I pretty much started working out and eating right after my six week checkup. I had a c-section so I had to stick with low impact exercises as the jumping around still my tummy sore. I did Biggest Loser Cardio Max for some time after and I wanted something more aggressive and new. I'm so happy I bought it. My husband is a P90X guy and is a great motivation for me. Out of curiosity he did level one with me and was REALLY impressed that it was such a great workout in such a short time. He woke up the next day sore and I'm pretty sure he told me not to tell anyone, lol. I told my husband when I get through the Ripped in 30, I would try P90X.

Here's to getting through all four levels!

Hi, I am Angela and would like to know who wants to start as a group on ripped in 30. My copy is collecting dust on my book shelf. I think it will motivate me!!!
