I am 30 weeks pregnant, and have used this calculator the whole time. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/pregnancy_calorie_calculator.htm I like that it lets you put in your activity level so you know how many calories based on how active you are, which for me really changed while I was pregnant. Good luck and congrats!!

I did the 30 DS from March 22nd-April 30th (each level for 10 days) and lost 8.5 lbs and 11 inches. I couldn't recommend the program more highly. Definitely take measurements and B&A pics - you can really see a difference in the pics that you might not notice in the mirror! Stick with it and you will have great results.

In my first month on MFP I lost 8.5 lbs and 11 inches. I did the 30 day Shred :)

Ever heard of zig zagging your calories? You eat the same number of calories per week as you would normally, but you have high days and low days. I've been doing it for 2 weeks and it got me out of a month long plateau. Here is the site I used to figure my calories: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm I…

I did each level for 10 days and so it took me from 3/22-4/30 to complete so that I could take some off days. I lost 8.5 lbs and 11 inches. Loved the program and couldn't recommend it more highly. JM gets super annoying, but if you are up for a challenge - this is a good one! Good luck!

It's a great program and you will see results if you stick with it. Here are mine! 30 Day Shred (started March 22nd, finished April 30th) Did each of the 3 levels for 10 days 3-5 days per week of cardio (35 minutes). 1500 calorie per day limit. 5'5" SW 150 lbs GW 130 lbs 3/22/12 150 lbs Bust-36 Chest-31 Waist-30 Hips-39…

Ok, here are my results from completing the RI30: Beginning Stats - 5/1/12 141.5 lbs Bust-34 Chest-30 Waist-27.75 Hips-37.5 Thighs (right) -22.5 (left)-22.25 Calves (right)-13.5 (left)-13.25 UpArm (right)-11.75 (left)-11.5 ForeArm (Right)-9 (left)-8.75 End Stats - 6/7/12 Lost 2.5 lbs and 4.75" 139 lbs Bust - 32.75" Chest -…

Maybe this is a stupid question, but does it matter WHICH days you eat the amount of calories that it suggests? Mine shows: M 1577 T 1262 W 1892 Th 1577 F 1419 Sat 1734 Sun 1577 Could I make my high calorie days the weekend (or whichever days I want)? Thanks!

I just did Level 4 Day 2 this morning. It feels easier for me than Level 3 did, but still definitely a challenge. I agree that the cardio moves are more difficult. There is no way I can do the scissor kicks!! I did alternate cardio (jumping jacks with weights) during the scissor kicks. Excited to finish up soon and measure…

Wow is all that I can say. I started Level 3 yesterday and I find it extremely difficult compared to 1 & 2. I consider myself to be in decent shape, but there were a couple of moves that I could hardly do even the modified version of. I might stay in this level longer than the 6 days I planned just to try to really get it…

She's definitely super annoying in this Level! I did L2D2 this morning and still can't believe how hard this level is. I came from doing the 30DS last month and Level 1 of RI30 seemed too easy, so I figured Level 2 would be a nice step up. Boy, was I wrong - it is harder than Level 3 of the 30 DS. I really enjoy it even…

It took me from 3/22-4/30 to complete. I tried to do it 5-6 days per week. I think as long as you do each level for 10 days and get it done in about a month and a half you are good. I lost 11" and 8.5 lbs. Good luck - it's a great workout!

It's an amazing and fast work out of about 25 minutes. You do each level for 10 days (so 30 days total), but you definitely should take days off as needed. I started on 3/22 and finished on 4/30 and lost 8.5 lbs and 11 inches. I could not recommend it more highly. Love the results I got, especially in my stomach and I can…

You've got to measure! I lost 11 inches and 8.5 lbs doing the 30DS. You will be shocked at how many inches you can lose.

I did 10 days per level, but did not do it for 30 days straight. I would take a day or two off every 5-6 days. I lost 11 inches and 8.5 lbs. Also did 3-5 days of cardio per week and I'm on a 1500 calorie diet. Good luck - you can get amazing results from this!

Ok, I just finished the 30 Day Shred yesterday and here are my results: 5'5" SW 150 lbs GW 130 lbs CW 141.5 lbs 3/22/12 - L1D1 150 lbs Bust-36 Chest-31 Waist-30 Hips-39 Thighs (right) -23.5 (left)-23 Calves (right)-13.75 (left)-13.75 UpArm (right)-11.75 (left)-11.75 ForeArm (Right)-9.75 (left)-9.5 4/13/12 - L2D5 141 lbs…

I am just waiting for my DVD to arrive in the mail and then I am going to start. Hoping it will be here today or tomorrow! Do you know how many days you do each level in RI30?

There is a group for the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. You should check it out and join. Most of us came from the 30 Day Shred group and will be starting the Ripped in the next week or so. With her work outs, you just have to go for it. They are always hard at first but with time they get easier as you get stronger. Good…

Hi, I'm Susanna, 31, married and mother of a little girl. I started getting serious about getting fit and losing weight in late March of this year. I am currently working on the 30 Day Shred (L3D4 today) and have had wonderful results so far. 9 lbs of weight loss and 7.75 inches lost. Hoping to keep my progress going on…

Amazing! You are such an inspriration - great job!!

I'm definitely interested in a Ripped in 30 group as well! Was planning to start that when I finish the 30DS approximately May 1st. Let's get a group going!

I'm on Level 3, Day 3 and so far have lost 9 lbs and 7.75". I can really see a difference in my body as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Started Level 3 this morning and it is tough, but definitely not as hard as it was to start the program. I really enjoy the faster pace and feel like the workout just flew by. When we got to Circuit 3, I couldn't believe that I was almost done. It feels less repetitive to me than the other levels. I'm hoping the moves get…

I'm currently on L2D5 (started the 30 day shred on March 22nd) 5'5" SW 150 lbs GW 130 lbs CW 141 lbs 3/22/12 150 lbs Bust-36 Chest-31 Waist-30 Hips-39 Thighs (right) -23.5 (left)-23 Calves (right)-13.75 (left)-13.75 UpArm (right)-11.75 (left)-11.75 ForeArm (Right)-9.75 (left)-9.5 4/13/12 (at L2D5) 141 lbs Bust-34.5…

I think 5x7 would be a little to tight for the 30DS. Especially with level 2 when you are doing more planks and lunges. I am currently on Level 2 and it is kicking my butt!! I have definitely lost some weight and inches though so I will keep it up!

I did Level 2 Day 1 yesterday and it was way harder than I expected! I guess I thought I was more ready for it because Level 1 was feeling pretty easy by the end. Hopefully Level 2 will get that way as well. I didn't have to modify to the easier option for any of the Level 1 exercises, but had to for a few of the Level 2…

Hi All, My name is Susanna! I am 31 and I live in Colorado with my hubby and 3 year old daughter. I'm trying to lose 15-20 lbs to be ready for summer (goal weight is 130). My weight has fluctuated a lot since my late 20's. Before I got pregnant I was at my heaviest (147) and after having my daughter the weight fell right…

I started the 30 day Shred today! Excited to see if this can help me jumpstart my weight loss. My goal is to finish at least by the end of April which gives me a few days off. Do most people also do additional cardio? I'm planning to do 4-5 days of cardio as well. I'm anxious to get swimsuit ready and glad to see others…
