  • If you're fine with the shred, I say go for it.
  • I'm 5'3 (or 5'4, still haven't figured that out as I am used to centimetres :grumble:) and my SW was 176lbs :bigsmile: Friend request sent (:
  • Still loving No More Trouble Zones, much more than 30DS and RI30! I try to squeeze in also BFBM once or twice a week because it's a crazy good burn, but cardio is still not my best friend. Keep up the good work, everybody!
  • Hi everyone! I went a bit Jillian crazy in the last few months :laugh: I started with 30DS in October/November, then did RI30 in November/December and as of now I'm alternating Killer Buns and Thighs, BFBM and NMTZ (the latter being my absolute favourite) :bigsmile: Feel free to add me if you want an extra dose of support…
  • I finished RI30 on Tuesday, yay :drinker: I wanted to thank everyone who has posted throughout this weeks because basically that's a huge part of what kept me going :ohwell: Tomorrow, or maybe on Saturday, I will take my measurements and see how I did (: Now I'm thinking to start Killer Buns and Thighs and maybe mixing it…
    in Week 4 Comment by ritornare January 2014
  • Sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks, but this has been an incredibly busy time for me (work, friends, family, Christmas :laugh:). I couldn't fit in my workouts as easily as earlier in the month so I still have to complete week 4, but I am not going to throw in the towel :glasses: I'm finding week 4 very…
  • Just started today, I am officiali halfway through it! Unfortunately this week's workout seems to be very hard on the knees and I most certainly don't want an injure (: Well, I modified some of the hardest moves (duck walks, anyone) and I should be alright (touch wood). Thiugh it kicks my butt, I must say I am loving RI30.…
  • I tried it once this week, but only managed to get halfway through it! Never done yoga before and I guess it was too much for me right after RI30 so I switched to a hatha flow yoga workout for the last few days and I sbsolutely love it. As for week 2 I started yesterday so today was my second. I probably like it better…
  • Took a rest day yesterday, after my week 1 day 5 on Wednesday (and 20 minute of Yoga Meltdown which were... a bad idea). I thought I'll be doing one more of the first week first today and start with week 2 tomorrow, whoop whoop! This is going fast!
  • So far so good, only hate the very last abs move (so painful!) and feel extremely stupid while doing "the running man". Also, I am a little bit scared about the next weeks as Jillian goes on and on about how tough they are gonna be. Hopefully, I'll be prepared!
  • I just finished the 30DS and am onto RI30. Since I have the time to exercise more than 20 minutes, I've added some stationary bike training and now I've discovered Zumba Fitness. So usually is: Jillian + 1h of Zumba/bike at least 4 times a week.
  • I finished it on Tuesday and I was so happy with the results I got that yesterday I started Ripped in 30 (: Lost inches everywhere and now feel so much stronger and fitter, which is amazing in only 30 days!
  • So... I started yesterday! I liked it so much better than 30DS day 1, but that's probably because I'm a little fitter now :drinker: I love the new composition of the strenght part and also the lenght of the cool down part. Now I (we!) just have to stick with it :bigsmile:
  • I was supposed to start today, but I only managed to do 1h of zumba fitness and then I went down with a massive headache, ugh. I'm more than ready to get back on track tomorrow (:
  • Hi, there! I've been here for approximately a month and a half, I'm 27, from Italy and looking to lose at least 30 lbs (: I'll add you (:
  • I use 1.5 kg weights but I'll probably be purchasing new heavier ones (maybe 3 kgs?) as I progress with RI30. Along with these DVDs, I workout 1h a day 6 times a week, usualy alternating HIIT on the stationary bike and steady cardio also on the stationary bike. Yesterday I dusted off zumba fitness 2 and loved it so much I…
  • I just joined :flowerforyou: Finished 30DS on Tuesday and starting RI30 tomorrow!
  • I was so happy I must have forgotten to post here and share my results! Weight: - 2 kgs (this was last Friday, I'll check if it has changed tomorrow) Waist: - 3 cm Arm: - 2 cm Breast: - 2 cm Thigh: - 1 cm (so glad I took those horrible "before" pictures! edit. thanks for being so supportive here and many compliments for…
  • Uhm... Italy!
  • Very well done, ladies! Level 3, Days 8&9 are done! Only 1 day to go... I'm utterly shocked at how fast this month has passed :huh: I will post my measurements and weight changes, only they'll be in centimetres and kilos :tongue: Then I think I will take Wednesday and possibily Thursday off and begin with ripped in 30 on…
  • 5'4'' CW 174 GW (for June) 150 It would be the best result I'va had in years.
  • Convincee myself to workout everyday! Everyday is the same: I procrastinate it for as long as I can, then do it, feel great and ask myself why the hell didn't I do it earlier and swear I won't do the same tomorrow.
  • My arms are burning :laugh: Level 3 seemed easier at the beginning, but it's actually pretty tough! 25 days ago I wouldn't have dared to think it possible for me to do push-ups, abs and planks without collapsing :drinker:
  • Day 4 has come and gone (: I do modify the jumping lunges because they're definetely too hard on my poor left knee, but I manage to do the rest following Natalie (more or less, that woman is a fitness monster!). 6 days to go and I don't think I have lost that much weight, I probably lost centimetres instead AND I gained…
  • It was hard, but not as hard as the first day of level 2 was. I am a bit worried though because there seems to be a lot of jumps and moves that are hard on the knees in general and I injured my left knee a few years ago (something wrong with my ligaments, apparently) and really don't want to repeat the experience.
  • Level 2 is finally over!
  • I'm up for Ripped in 30 too! :bigsmile:
  • @migrilla, foodie just starting out with fitness (+ pics of my homeland, Tuscany)
  • 140 would be my ultimate goal, but my first one is 150. Currently I weigh around 175lbs.
  • I don't know if I really think that I'm skinner than I actually am but I do know that I like the woman in the mirror more than the one in pictures :glasses: Actually one of the reasons I have started dieting and exercising again is to be able to look at pictures of myself (:
