Hi everyone, can I join please?

I'm on 30DS L1 D6.

Finding it okay so far actually able to get through L 1 without struggling. I have done the shred before but never got past L2, I know L1 pretty much off by heart now and am loathe to start L2 as it will entail a little work. I need to tone up badly though. Have lost 8kg since the spring due to cycling to work and eating less biscuits and things are a bit flobberdy as a result. Off on holidays in the first week of August and want to look a bit decent by then, mainly sort out bellah and upper arms.

Trying to summon up the energy to do L1 D7 at the moment, Ds2 woke up at 4:30 this morning, and I got to bed at 12 last night after work. Working again tonight. Will be cross at myself if I don't do it , so I'll attempt it if ds decides to nap.

RI30L1D1 done. Oof. I hope I get better once I get used to the moves.

Anya, can't believe you did three in one day!

AnyaKnowIt · 23/06/2014 19:42

RI30L1D3 done also did 30DSL1

Also tried to do her yoga meltdown but it moves too fast and I couldn't keep up Sad

Ri30 L4D9 done. Nearly finished with this baby, woo hoo. Well done Imogen. And enjoy starting Ripped tomorrow. I have found it challenging but also really beneficial in terms of getting those hard to reach bits of me looking more toned and on the right track.

And well done, Imogen! Completing the shred is a real accomplishment! Hope you enjoy Ri30.

BetterWithCheese · 23/06/2014 10:26

Ri30 L2D1 done. Jeez, I think the crow push-up was one of the first time I couldn't even really do a modified version. I also found the ab hold to table top move challenging, I can't lift myself into the ab hold, my bum still touches the ground Sad. Oh well, I guess it can only get better.

ImogenQuy · 23/06/2014 06:47

30DSL3D10, after a weekend off (which mostly cured the tantrum). I'm not as hardcore as Anya, so I'm going to leave it till tomorrow to move on to RI30.

Jocasta, I moved up to the next level every 10 days, which I think is what most people on here have done, but some people have stayed on each level for longer if some of the exercises feel particularly difficult.

jocastafantastica · 22/06/2014 19:06

30dsl1d11 - very pleased with myself for sticking this out I have usually caved by now, completed day 11 this morning with daughters and dog as my audience! Have others done level 1 all the way to 30 days or have you gone up a level by now? I weighed myself yesterday and was very disappointed with 1lb loss as I feel loads more toned, but my period started today so hopefully will have more pounds off this time next week :)
Believe me Selina if I can do it you can too!

Selenaisabumface · 21/06/2014 17:45

Joining but not great at sticking to things. I need to excercise though so hoping you lot can keep me going.

ImogenQuy · 20/06/2014 22:59

Have a great holiday, Lambzig. I may have flounced by the time you get back, in total disgust at JM's failure to make me grow the necessary 9 inches to look like Natalie.

Lambzig · 20/06/2014 20:18

RI30D7 done this morning. Felt relatively easy, even the dreaded second cardio circuit. I go on holiday tomorrow, so will have to come back here afterwards to motivate me to carry on.

AnyaKnowIt · 20/06/2014 15:50

30DSl3d10 and RI30L1D2 done

It's not fair is it

ImogenQuy · 20/06/2014 08:15

Thanks, yadah. I'm just having a massive tantrum! I don't have time for a proper mid-life crisis so I'm going to stamp my feet and sulk about this.

Ri30 L4D8 done. Imogen I felt a bit like that after Shred but carried on with Ripped and I am glad I did. So much of Shred is about building fitness I think that it is only when you move on with all that gained that you can really benefit from other programs.

Thanks tabulahrasa. I hope this is just a bad few days and better times are round the corner (and that your poor dog is completely recovered soon).

30DSL3D9. Feeling a bit demotivated now that I've nearly finished and the only effect is that my stomach looks worse (measurements are the same so it can't be actually worse, but it definitely looks it!). I'll persevere through RI30, having bought it, and if that doesn't work will throw the lot out in disgust. Well done to all those who are seeing a difference.

AnyaKnowIt · 19/06/2014 20:46

I enjoyed it far more then shred.

BetterWithCheese · 19/06/2014 20:39

How did you find Ri30? I really like level 1 but am a bit scared of the other levels. That reminds me, I'll watch level 2 now while DH us watching England play.

AnyaKnowIt · 19/06/2014 17:21

Yep, but don't feel so hardcore now tho!

BetterWithCheese · 19/06/2014 15:30

tabulah I hope things improve for you Thanks. I'm going to miss following along behind you, I liked your reports about what to expect.

Anya back-to-back, you are hardcore!

AnyaKnowIt · 19/06/2014 14:15

30DSL3D9? Done also did day 1 of ripped, did both with 2.26kg weights.

Hope things improve soon tabulahrasa Flowers

Hi

I've had a horrible few days - some personal stuff that's a bit too heavy for this thread...and me tbh, so I'm lurking. (Not the poor rug weighing down dog, I think he's doing ok, though not 100% yet)

I'm planning to just start level 1 of ripped again from Monday as I'm struggling with both motivation and time, so I figure new week, new start is better than just struggling. Also I know I can't just have a week off and carry on from where I was, level 2 was killing me anyway, lol

BetterWithCheese · 19/06/2014 11:52

Ri30 L1D8 done, much better today. I should preview level 2 but I'm not sure that I want to know.

Imogen I always notice when I start to exercise my tummy fat starts to sit unattractively, but it usually gets better after a few more weeks.
