I'm going to try this DVD again. I had done it for a couple of days during summer but it was just too hot to do. I never got to the second level. I'm starting it again either tonight or tomorrow morning and plan on doing it for the full 30 days! I'm going to before and after pics.

Sophie, I look forward to you joining us! You should start today instead of putting it off!

I wasn't able to do it this morning, because this is one of the rare times I have to work on a Saturday. I was running about 20 minutes behind, but I'm getting better about waking up earlier! As long as I stay disciplined this week, it should start becoming much easier. As soon as I get home from work I'll be sure to turn on the dvd. Maybe even during lunch!

We have a catered breakfast that is up all morning. I'm forcing myself to be mostly good and mostly eat fruit. I avoided the donuts, but there are some tasty sausage wraps. So tempting! I'm trying to remind myself that moderation is the key.

I have not been nearly as on track as I had hoped to be. On the bright side I am still eating better. Not perfect, but better. I'm seeing a slow and steady weight loss and feel like I look better. Now if I could just kick myself back into gear and get to exercising. I hope the habit will be as difficult to break as it is to form!

I do this video when I'm lazy and want a quick workout. Not saying it's easy because it really isn't but the length it is, is perfect! But I couldn't do this for 30 days... sorry, but keep us updated with the progress, I want to hear all about it!

I had to choose between Ripped in 30 and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism to do along with the 30 Day Shred... I decided to go with BFBM, but I will keep an eye on this thread and if people start saying how well its working for them, than I might have to make another trip to the store!! Good luck everyone.

I bought this dvd last week and plan to start it in the next couple of days. Its summer here though and has been extremely hot so I've mostly been swimming laps, so may need to wait until the weather cools down a bit to do it every day.

My goal is to get in a little better shape so I can work up to doing this DVD again. Right now I'm doing Yoga/Gazelle/handweights. I tried starting out with this DVD a few times and I loved it but I just couldn't keep up at all. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Hopefully I can join your guys in the next few weeks.

I will start the dvd tomorrow. I was planning to start another dvd, but I am going to push myself and start "Ripped in 30". I will also take my measurements tomorrow morning.

Back on track today. Last week I had ridiculously long workdays that included a whole lot of hauling of boxes and display stuff for a show so the workout plan suffered although I was still pretty physically active all week and did spend Thursday night skating with a bunch of 7 year olds.

I did a lot of sleeping on the weekend.

I'm going to try to start week 2 later this week.

Today was my first day of level one.
I did get a good sweat, in such a short time.
I really like the dvd so far.

Excellent lbb I can't find my dvd...lol but I have been hitting the t
readmill and doing callanetics almost everyday....starting to get boring, so, I will be on the hunt tonight for ripped.

I did the first workout on Sunday and really enjoyed it. Perfect time for a workout. For each excercise just when I though I couldn't do anymore, there was only a couple more to do which I could manage. Between that and all the other excercise I did on Saunday, most of my muscles were killing me, so I gave it a miss yesterday and just did cardio.

Started week 2 today. Ouch. I don't seem to have as much energy in the morning as I used to.

Madison: Find that dvd!

I missed yesterday, but I worked out today.
I am counting today as my day one and I will exercise for 6 consecutive days, take a break and move on to week 2.

I'm glad that people are still keeping up with the dvd! I had a death in the family. Now that I'm back I'm trying to kick my butt back into gear, but the bf is coming into town this weekend so it might not get going again until Monday. I feel like it's an excuse, but I know I won't work out during one of my last chances to see him before he goes overseas.
I need to figure out how to get out of the funk and force myself to move again.
