Ripped in 30 for July!

Hi, all! So, I've seen some previous threads on Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30, but was wondering specifically if anyone out here is doing that DVD for July?

I plan on starting today, although the whole 31 days in July thing is tempting me to start tomorrow ... haha. When perusing her DVD selection at Target, I was tempted to buy 30 Day Shred, but it had "extreme weight loss!" blasted all over the cover, and that's not really my goal. I think the only difference though between 30DS and Ripped in 30 is that the latter has one extra level, and is her "hardest" DVD, correct?

Looking forward to it. I also am deciding to couple this toning challenge with abstaining from alcohol for all of this month, so, here's hoping good ol' Jill won't make me immediately want a glass of wine after my workouts! :wink:

Anyone else out there getting Ripped in 30 this month?

    hello! I just started Ripped in 30 today! Didn't think about it being July 1st, but that's even better! Here's my starting info:

    Height: 5'3"
    Weight: 179 lb
    Neck: 13.5"
    Waist: 35"
    Hips: 43"

    I threw up a little during the workout (very out of shape!!), but I'm so glad I did the entire workout!
    I would love some new friends to help me with the motivation factor, so please add me! :D
    Best of luck!

    Good Luck! That is the hardest part for me, the occasional drink if I want. I would rather drink my sugar than eat it! LOL
    Bought Jillian Michaels book and although I enjoyed it, wasn't overly impressed.
    I have two daughters who swear by the Insanity tapes so I bought his Rockin Body set through Groupon. My goal is to move to Insanity next. Also, trying to follow Fat Flush Plan by Ann Gittleman which requires no alcohol. The plan is super healthy and my husband loves the meals.
    Try checking off each day on a large calendar and let us know how you are doing! I started yesterday to do 21 days of the video, walking and gym work out before our cruise and returning to work: Goal - Lose 20!
    Keep us posted on the 30 day workout!

    I'm about to start Week 4 today! Of course, July has been the most stressful month for me this year with work and other issues, but I have done every week of workouts, five days a week! Don't think I could manage six. It's tough stuff, but you all can do it out there! I'll be excited to show my after pics. :)

    Hello, all. Well, I did it. I finished the whole month, and didn't take a sip of alcohol to coincide with it until Saturday, after I finished Week 4 Day 5 (well, not directly after). :)

    Biggest thing I noticed were my biceps (in current profile pic) and calves increasing in toneage.

    My measurements yesterday, compared to measurements July 1 in parentheses are as follows:

    Weight: 144.6 lbs (145.0)
    Waist: 27.25 inches (27.75)
    Hips: 37 inches (37.5)
    Chest: 34.5 inches (35.0)
    Bicep: 10.5 inches (10.0)
    Thigh: 21.75 inches (22.5)

    Good luck to everyone else out there! I thought it was a fun and challenging month, and while I didn't see extreme results, I also probably could have pushed it a little harder and done other work in addition to the tape.

    I am doing ripped in 30. Tomorrow starts day 3 of the 3rd week. There have been days I felt like I just couldn't do it that day but I started and just got through it. I don't know that I"m looking ripped lol but I feel good and I'll probably just start over when I get done with the 4 weeks. I'm working off baby weight or trying to. I have the ripped dvd and no more trouble zones and master metabolism.

    After completing Ripped in 30, i highly recommend her Extreme Shed and Shred ~ by far, this is my favorite JM workout. I am currently doing P90X and there is no way i could have done it without doing multiple JM DVDs ~ completely prepared me!
