I know it's normal I've had this happen when I just started working out, but I usually don't get it even when I do super intense workouts...now that I haven't worked out for a week, I get it doing something that isn't even that hard (before). Does 1 week off really make you that weak O_O

OH and does cardio get rid of armpit fat though?? Because it's bugging me =[

Is 2000 calories max a day good? I don't count calories anymore. I eat super clean anyway. Maybe if I ate at a restaurant everyday I'd be counting my calories.

Okay all I want is to look good this summer. Everyone's making this seem so difficult..... -_____-

I do blogilates is that okay? I always do the Call Me Maybe Squat Challenge and Abs all Night ^__^ Wait but the thing is I want to shred fat first...I heard that cardio burns lots of calories and strength training tones and burns some calories I heard you can't spot reduce, too. It's weird that no one is really answering…

Ah I know I am so naive but does that mean lifting weights?? I don't have money to go to the gym and lift weights...

I eat a very clean Vietnamese diet. all natural, nutrient-rich, with maybe some unhealthy snacks once in a while...I eat 1500-1800 cals a day.. I know I eat a lot of carbs but it's hard to avoid since I'm asian, and i dont think asians in general are not considered "fat."

26.5 inch waist, 50 cm thighs, 32 cm calf, 21.5 cm ankles...they are not toned looking :/ I also want to lift up my butt, too..

I just want to be more toned and get some fat off. Yes, I do have fat I can post a picture.

5'2 1/2 and 105 pounds. I'm 18.

Will it really give you a flat stomach? My waist is 26.5 inches at the moment =/ I'm going to add 30 min. of running to it ^^ I've done Ripped in 30 already~

There's nothing else in my house but rice and some side dishes. Lol. and some oatmeal that I bought so I don't have to eat rice 3 times a day.

omg all of the things that I love you mentioned! Lol I eat a banana everyday I'm addicted. I'm asian so I eat rice!! Everyday allll day. I also love sweet potatoes because they help me go to the restroom. Tofu is good :( I thought these were healthy foods..

I don't want to bulk up necessarily I want the fat off the most lol.

Well I want the fat off the most.. :/

lol sorry that wasn't directed at you, I just posted that so that everyone can see

ah, but it's not that easy when I'm asian... I don't think it's that. Most asians eat rice 3 times a day and still stay slim and fit. I can't leave me rice nooOOOOOoOoo :(

is it really THAT hard for a teenage girl to lose some extra fat?! :(

I am not trying to lose weight, I am actually trying to gain muscle and lose the fat..I'm sad because the before and afters on here for Ripped in 30 are so amazing!! But it's different for me ='( Also, I don't have money for the gym!! I just have a treadmill, an elliptical, and 3 lb + 5 lb weights..

I just want to get rid of some fat..I'm not going to a doctor for it, lol I don't have money for the gym =( I'm just using some 5 pound dumbbells for the DVD. My arms do shake when I moved from 3 lb to 5 lb. It's harder for me, especially with the sumo squats with raises. Also the lunges with bicep extensions. My arms…

?? I've been doing this for 5 weeks....

There are weights included in the DVD. It's 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs.

BeachBody, the company. It's popular for developing exercise programs like P90X, Insanity, ChaLEAN Extreme.......

Today it is much rounder than usual and I've done 4 weeks of this!...I think it's because of this one move in the DVD, moguls or something like it. I can hear water sloshing in my stomach during that one...

5-6 days a week.

omg....Ripped in 30 isn't working for me. I'm on WEEK 4 DAY 2! I see no change when I look in the mirror. :[

:(( I don't measure myself but if there is a change it's not hard to catch.

thanks for replying! :) Maybe I have a lot of fat...haha. I'm skinny-fat. Belly jiggles and so do my legs. :[ But I'm 105 pounds. Anyone else??

omg no one...no one that has done Ripped in 30????

I'm on week 2, Day 5!! :) Yes, I can do the crow push ups. These are actually my favorite because I feel I have enough strength to do it and I feel the burn!! It's hard but I can do it without my body pretty much STOPPING (automatically). I like this one and the punching one because I think it's helped my love handles and…
