I agree.
I thought Jari looked great in her original workout: thin, but not in need of a feeding! Then, by the time the other workouts came out, and I started seeing her ribs (not 'ab muscles'), even when she really wasn't stretching out, I was turned off. And when she called our attention to her and Laurie's changed appearance, and said that it was from doing the Ripped program, I thought Laurie looked great, but was thinking "If doing Ripped gives me a body like Jari, I think I won't be doing Ripped very often!"
