    Sorry! just read that you did extra gym workouts...can i ask how many per week? And what was your calorie intake? Did you go by MFP?
    Thanks!

    5 days a week :) The calorie intake is about 1200 a day and I ate really healthy! I didn't go by MFP

    I am definately in this one. I started last week but I am still in week one. I hurt so bad I didn't ever think I would ever stop hurting but for the first time today I got up and didn't hurt as bad! Yeah! Count Me In! I can't wait to see the results at the end of the 30 days! I know I won't be ripped but it is an awesome workout!

    I've been alternating between 3 Jillian Michaels DVDs for about 3 wks now. I can tell a huge diff in how my body looks. I wish I would have taken before pics. I currently have: Shred It w Weights, No More Trouble Zones, & Kickboxing Fast Fix. I love all 3 but the first is my fav. I'm about ready to move up to the next level and add more weight. Amazon had them on sale and I bought 5 others but haven't received them yet. My new ones will be: 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, Extreme Shed & Shred, Yoga Meltdown, & Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. I love her stuff and she inspires me to move my *kitten*. I know some people hate her but I like her attitude! :). I like to have variety so when I'm getting tired of the ones I'm doing now, then I'll be able to switch it up.

    Is Shred it w/ Weights all strength training or does she do the circuit training in that one too? I would love to find a DVD of her's that is all strength!

    BTW Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is fantastic! As is Ripped in 30.....okay who am I kidding....they're all fantastic lol

    Shred it is a lot diff to me bc it uses a kettlebell which I have fallen in love with. The moves are diff from typical strength moves. Like more trouble zones she keeps you moving so you keep your heart rate up. Shred it is slower and steady. If you are looking for strength, you should try it. I started w a 10 lb kettlebell but you could really kill it as you increase weight.

    Thanks for the info! I think I will try to find it and give it a shot! I've never worked with a kettlebell so that would also be a new challenge!

    It's so awesome to see so many people doing this workout! YAY us!

    The good news is that I did a 2 hour Zumbathon tonight.....and made it through lol It was a lot of fun but wow I can still feel it haha The bad news is that I'm supposed to do Ripped in the morning :grumble: I really hope that I'm not too sore because I have to take Saturday and Sunday off!

    Wish me luck! lol

    Hi guys! I'm going to start this tomorrow. I did the level 3 of 30 day Shred this morning but prefer Ripped in 30, so will switch to that. I have a number of Jillain's DVDs and just kind of alternate them at will, so have never actually tried to do this the way you guys are all intending (I do level 3 if I'm feeling good, sometimes I do levels 1 & 2 back-to-back, and sometimes I can onyl ahndle the thought of level 1!). I'm up for the challenge :)

    I did Day 1 of Week 2 tonight... and OMG!!! I must have said "what the f???" 10 times. this one is going to be tricky. pendulum lunges, those push-up knee raise things... I really should have watched this first. Hopefully I get the hang of it so I can burn more calories instead of staring dumbfounded at the tv screen :-)

    I did day two of week one today, even though I was really, really tempted to be a slug instead. I guess now that it is over, I'm glad I did it. At least I feel better about myself.

    I have a question. I used my watch HRM which only monitors my heart rate when I hit the button. I tried to do it at various times throughout the workout to get a fairly accurate reading. It says that I used 411 calories. Is that possible? Seems a little high to me, even though I was sweating more today than I was a couple days ago.

    Also, you'd get a good laugh if my workout was videoed. For some reason I can't get the...oh, what's it called....running man? Anyway, the one where you swing your arms as you alternate feet. I always start swinging the wrong arm. You'd think I'd never walked before. :laugh:

    Great job to all those who are doing the videos!!!

    Hi there, hope you all don't mind me joining in here. I started RI30 this morning day 1, week 1. I did ripped last year also and loved it. I just completed 30 day shred yesterday and love the Jillian workouts.

    I also like to get on the elliptical for 30 minutes after completing the workout to make it a full hour. :)

    I'll plan on being back tomorrow for day 2.

    Completed day 2 of week 3 RI30 this morning. It was a little easier than day 1 (at least I knew the moves - even if I couldn't do them all - not sure I'll ever do the rock n roll move). This level is definitely a knee killer (at least to me) so I'm sticking with some of the modified moves and coming up with my own for ones I just can't do (like during the rock n roll portion, I'm doing the lunge side leg raises from week 2). Good luck everyone and have a Ripped Weekend!

    Did week 3 day 1 this morning and my whole body is hurting again. Those duck walks are killer and I don't think I'll ever get the rock n rolls. I this week so much better than week 2. I find it harder but I like that I'm feeling like I'm getting more of a workout.

    I'm starting RI30 tomorrow and really excited. Looking forward to see my new after photos :))

    I got a new tattoo on my right foot yesterday, I hope it won't hurt so that I can compete my workout tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

    Hi all!

    I started this morning! Loved every bit of it! I finished the 30 day shred a few days ago, had a few rest days and now on it again!

    Hi All!

    I just got back from a weekend out of town so there hasn't been an RI30 for me this weekend! Tuesday will be my next day (tomorrow is Zumba and I alternate) and this will be my last week on week 2.....I'm getting very scared of week 3 lol

    I hope everyone had a stellar weekend!

    I took a Jillian break this weekend too!!! I am starting a whole new workout routine tomorrow, so she will not be kicking my butt until Tuesday. I'll be doing RI30 three times a week instead of 5 times. Hope everyone is sticking with it, I'm excited to see results.

    I know the RI30 program is designed to be done everyday, but honestly it's a bit much for me every single day! I feel like I'll get way too bored so I like to rotate out....do RI30 3 days/week and then her other DVD's, Zumba, and treadmill the other days!

    Do any of you ladies use a HRM? I'm thinking that it might have to be my next investment. Any words of wisdom?
