Im on week 3 day 3 and i find week 3 to be brutal! My arms and legs scream! Before RI30 i was doing Turbo Jam and definately wasnt prepared for this dvd however i stick through it and my strength and stamina have gotten so much better! There are still a few moves i have to modify but not by much so im proud of that! I also…

If you think that 1300s is too low search the topics for "in place of a road map" it will help you figure out your TDEE and BMR. MFP started me at 1300 and i was starving and didnt lose any weight so i checked out that topic found my TDEE and have been good to go ever since!

Thats me! I do my TDEE -20% so i eat about 1800 a day! Somedays less some days more depending on how hungry i am from working out. Ive recently switched from Turbo Jam 5 xs a wk to RI30 5xs week. Im so glad to see other ladies out there eating around what i do. I started at 1300 and was starving and afraid to bump up my…

I did Ripped in 30 day 3 week 3 and Turbo Jam 20 min workout.

:happy: AMAZING JOB!!! Thanks for the motivation! I love the last pic you posted!

Those small victories are awesome in themselves! I dont think there's a better feeling then telling yourself oh no i cant fit in that (regardless of the size) and then when you do its like your on top of the world!! Awesome!! WTG!

My daughter will be 5 in Feb and i still have the baby pouch! The first yr after i had her i lost most of the baby weight doing Turbo Jam and was at the same weight i was at before i was pregnant but still have not gotten rid of the pouch! Its very frustrating! I started Ripped in 30 and that has helped me lose inches and…

Wow awesome job! You can definately see the difference in your pictures! Ill have to put Turbo Fire and CLX on my to do list,

I would try Ripped in 30 because its more challenging but not as challenging as Insanity from what i hear. With ripped in 30 you can choose to workout 5-6 days a week. Im currently on week 3 of ripped in 30 and alls i say is Jillian is brutal and i love/hate her but ive lost alot of inches since starting!

That is so true! Thanks for the chuckle!

Its not easy at first but the more you do it the easier it gets! I havent been on here that long and i loved my junk food! But since ive been tracking what ive been eating and eating healthier i dont really want the junk or processed food much because i know it undoes all the hard work i just did! You can do it! Good luck!

^^This!! I save enough calories so i can have an apple and some pb for my night time snack! So yummy and filling!

Yum!!

Its not a problem for me but i get bored drinking so much so i drink 0 calorie flavored waters or use the crystal light packets, that way its like drinking a punch, tea or juice without all the calories!

Thanks! Yes they are because i selected that im moderately active and exercise 3-5 days a wk. So ill just stick to my TDEE -20% and not eat the exercise calories! I got myself all confused because I originally had my calories lower then TDEE-20% and would eat some of my exercise calories back but wasnt losing weight and…

I just read on another post that when you calculate your TDEE - 20% that you should eat the same # of calories a day and not eat back any exercise calories because thats already calculated into your TDEE. Which makes sense but now im confused because others say that since you have the 20% deficit already taken out you can…

Thanks! Great post!!

I just finished day 1 week 3 and it was brutal!! I agree with you that the exercises form are simpler and easier to do but boy to do they hurt!!! My legs and arms were burning and screaming!! Definately getting stronger though!

I do the same thing to try and make sure im not gaining weight! Although it seems all im doing is gaining and losing the same 3 pounds for the past 2 wks which is pissing me off! So im only going to weigh once a week! Measuring works better!

You can do it! I quit 7/1/2012 and like you i was terrified of gaining weight however i wanted my health and to quit more then a few pounds! Its not going to be easy but the patch def helps! Thats what i used! Just dont wear it at night because it causes crazy dreams! I will tell you that i did gain a few pounds that i was…

Yea i looked at her diet and was like nah i dont eat any of that stuff! Esp all the fish! I dont eat any seafood at all! I think im going to try low carb and see if that works for me! Im getting frustrated because since i started RI30 my weight isnt moving at all! I just keep losing gaining the same 3 pounds! Ugh.. I also…

Yum!!

Sound good!

Thanks for sharing!

Ohh this sounds good! Im going to have to try!

bump for later

I just made these today with my daughter and we both hate them! I followed the recipe to a T and they came out semi smooshy as my daughter called them and they really had no taste, even with the cinnamon on top. I thought they were going to be kind of crunchy like a cookie but they were bad! Its too bad! We were all…

Thats awesome! Great job! Did you follow the diet that Jillian provides with RI30 or your own? Ive been doing it 5 days a week because ive always taken 2 rest days a week and RI30 makes my body so sore! I know ive been losing inches but no pounds yet although i prob wont know until im done with the program! Those tables…

^ This. I just copied that recipe from the thread and cant wait to make them!! :c)
