You have all inspired me! I'm going to start w/c 11th Feb. I part did the 90 days last year, I did about 6 weeks of it and was really enjoying it. Then we got a puppy and my whole routine went out of the window. He's well trained now and in the exact routine of my other dog so time to get my fitness levels back up. Add me…

Does anyone know roughly how long each workout is? I've done Shred and Riped in 30 before and find the workout lengths great for doing in the morning before work as they are only about 25 mins each. I fancy doing this as I love Gillian Michaels workouts.

Thats exactly what I was just thinking looking at your diary.

I'm glad you have said that as I have just finished the first month and was disappointed when I did my measurements. I've had comments from people saying my body shaper has changed, but when I did the measurements only my hips were any different. I'd lost an inch, which I'm really pleased about but I thought I may have…

Thank you for explaining it so well. I understand now.

Thanks anyway. That has helped a bit :wink:

So the macro percentages have no relevance to the pie chart percentages?

I've made the pumpkin ones too. They also freeze well.

And........ finished! :tongue:

2 more days to go ;-) Then it's Charlean Extream - I need a break from Jillian for a while :happy:

Thanks these are brilliant :happy:

Started section 4 today and I have to say I like it so much better than section 3 already. So quite looking forward to the next 6 days until it is finished.

I used to weigh in every day and it really was starting to affect my state of mind. I was absolutely OBSESSING with the scales. I'd get on twice a day at one point, morning and evening. Anyway after doing some reading on here and getting some very good advice I changed how much I was eating, what I was eating and decided…

I did 30 day Shred and got really good results from it. I'm now doing Ripped in 30. Ripped is definitely harder. Section 1 and 2 are not too bad but I'm 2 days into section 3 and it is EVIL! So god know what section 4 will be like. They are both good. I would start with Shred though first.

I plan all my meals in advance, and always log my breakfast and lunch at least the day before. Usually log dinner the day before as I know what we'll be having, sometimes this might change slightly and I'll log BEFORE I eat it. I like to plan so that I know if I have any calories left. If so I'll fill those out with…

I will be 42 on 17th July and I've never felt fitter or healthier ;-)

Come back section 2 all is forgiven!!! Section 3 is HARD, very HARD. Didn't particularly enjoy any of it if I'm honest. Only 6 more days....... But section 4 might be worse ;-)

I LOVE overnight oats and have it most days for breakfast. My recipe is 30g Oats 50g Total 0% yogurt 100ml Almond or Light Soya Milk 1 scoop vanilla protein powder Sprinkling of cinnamon (optional) Thats my basic mix and thats 260 calories, 25 carbs, 5g fat, 29g Protein Then add whatever fruit, nuts etc additional. My…

My diaries open you're welcome to add me as a friend and see if you can get any ideas. I'm following a high protein diet and love experimenting with food and recipes.

Kissed goodbye to section 2 today and although I have enjoyed it on the whole I shall not be missing squat thrusts. ALWAYS hated those. Bring it on section 3 - start tomorrow morning.

Oh and also nuts, I tend to have almonds, again you don't need many of these to bump up your calories.

Protein powder really helps get the calories up. I have at least one scoop a day. If you don't like it then try mixing it into a smoothy. There are loads of recipe ideas on here. But basically if you put a bit of fruit in with your powder, half milk/water (I use almond milk a lot), half a banana and blend you get a lovely…

Hi, I'm back from my holiday an well into section 2 now - and I LOVE it!! Must say though it does makes your bum hurt ;-)

Its a TOTAL revelation to me, and one I am so glad I tried. You are what you eat - so true.

Well here's a quick update - a month on. I just want to thanks everyone who commented on here and especially you psulemon ;-) I have been following your suggestions and eating a much highly protein diet. Eating loads more calories instead of starving myself. At first I had massive carb cravings but I was really focused and…

I'm due to finish my 10 days on section 1 on Wednesday. Then I'm on holiday ladies so won't be starting section 2 until I get back. Have fun while I'm away.

Yep myself and Mrshotwing both completed 30 Day Shred in May and now we have moved onto Ripped in 30. I 'm doing 10 days of each section, the first 10 days of section 1 will take me up to next Tuesday. Then I go on holiday for 10 days so will have a break from it, unless I can find something to use for weights while I am…

Its weeks 3 and 4 I'm worried about as Jillian keeps reminding us thats when it really starts to hurt ;-)

I've now done workout 1 twice and I really like it. 8 more days to go then move onto workout 2!

Yep me - I was planning this next. Already got the DVD ready to go. I'm away for 10 days in June though so there might be a break. I'm taking it with me but if there are weights involved I might not be able to do it while I'm away.
