    I originally was going to follow the meal plan but it isn't enough calories, especially since I will be doing doubles Mon - Thurs. I am going to toggle some Turbo Fire in the evening (after the kickstart) to have additional cardio options. However, I am going to do the BR exercise program exactly as it is layed out. Also, since I travel for a living, my meals are a lot more plain...simply because I don't have my own kitchen (and spices etc). But, I am fine with that and am pretty accustomed to it. I have a gerorge foreman machine and an egg poucher/omelette machine in my room. So, I do what I can.

    Can't wait to hear more about this! I really want to buy it because I love 30DS and Ripped in 30

    I did day one this morning. It seemed a lot easier than I remember the 30 day shred being. It was a lot more fun too, because I felt there was more of a switch up in what we did. I liked it a lot! I tried the greke yogurt this morning. It wasn't my favorite, but I got it down. I have the salmon salad waiting for me in the fridge. I didn't see where it said on the 7 day kickstart you had to do two workouts? Where did you see that? I want to do it right. :)

    I ordered mine Thursday and never received my email saying it was shipped. Was wondering if anyone could tell me the customer support number that I can actually talk to a human?? Thanks

    I just finished day two. I'm kickstarting. Can't wait to keep on keeping on! I'm digging it so far even though I'm wiped afterwards. I have a LOT of weight to lose.

    Mine just arrived! I am super excited. So question to those of you who are already doing JMBR. Should I start tomorrow (I always rest on Sunday) or wait until Monday so that I get a full 5/6 days in before a rest day? I am not going to follow her diet, but I am going to follow her workout schedule.

    I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I would suggest waiting til Monday, so that you're on track. I'm also not following her meal plan. I need at least 1400 cal per day.

    Good luck!

    I'm not following her meal plan either since I am still breastfeeding and need more food! How much is everyone expecting realistically to lose with this program? What are you hoping for?

    Okay, I really want to get this, but it is super expensive and I just don't have the money right now. I was wondering if anyone has been doing it and can tell me if it is actually worth spending the money. I have all of her other dvds. Should I just rotate those or is this set really awesome????

    Please someone help? Will anyone share their results?

    Since its so new I don't think any of us have any major results yet but I've seen some people on week 3 or so that have already lost tons of pounds and inches. I am on day 3 and really think it is even already so much more awesome than the shred. I swear I looked trimmer in my waist this morning but really is that possible after two days??? No clue, but I feel the burn during the workouts. My husband is doing it with me and sweats his butt off. He says that it is a great workout and he is a former marine so he is used to lots of exercise. He has also tried p90x and said that Jillians workout is harder than that in his opinion.

    I'll be paying attention to all of your reviews, etc. over the next several weeks.

    Love Jillian. Love her videos. They totally helped me look great for my wedding a couple years ago.
    Starting Ripped in 30 tomorrow...and after that, according to your feedback....maybe Body Revolution!?!

    Good luck everyone!

    It really is worth every penny. I am not all the way through week 1 yet and I've dropped 5 lbs. I'm not a big guy but want definition and I'm determined to have a 6 pack. This is clearly providing results. I started lifting 20's today to try to build while losing in key areas. I'd jump on it asap!

    Here's a strange one...I ordered mine on the 20th. I see the money deducted out of my account yesterday, but no confirmation email. I just checked my email, nothing again, AND the deduction is no longer there. Has this happened to anyone else? I am so ready to start this!!

    I think what happens is that they do a preauthorization on your account. Then it falls off your account until they ship out the product(s) at which time they do the actual charge. Crazy, I know, but that seems to be the way companies do things.

    I placed my order tonight. Looking forward to getting started!!

    I'm still breastfeeding as well so I'm going to follow her meal plans but add at least 300 calories per day as extra clean snacks, maybe bigger breakfast. From what I have heard so far the breakfasts are really light then lunch then snack then dinner. I always eat a morning snack so will continue to do so.
    I'm expecting to lose about 30lbs in the 90 days.

    Question for those who have started---what size weights do you use? My program is scheduled to be at my doorstep on Monday and I want to have the right weights. With Jillian's other DVDs I usually use 5lb weights which is enough for some exercises, but too easy for others. (I'm 5'7", 158lbs, pretty athletic)

    Would 5lb and 8lb weights be good or should I go even higher?

    Thanks for your help!

    Both my wife and I are doing this plan so I'll tell you what we both use.
    I'm 5'6" 133, athletic and I'm using 10lb minimum but am using more 20lbs
    My wife is 5'9" 141, athletic, and is using all 10's.

    Hope this helps

    Also -- an update on my order.

    I recently changed my bank accounts from MA to CA, so I had a temporary card for a bit, with which I ordered the program.

    I then got my "real" card. Days had gone by without any notice of a tracking number, so I called.

    Turns out my card was declined because I had recently received my new card. They NEVER emailed me that there was a problem. I was able to give the new card information to get it fixed. Hope to get an email tomorrow? :(

    Oh and get this -- in the MAIL -- yes, snail mail -- today, I got a LETTER from the company saying my card didn't work, and to please fill out the form then sent me so they could fix it (or call them).

    UM HELLO?!?! They should have emailed me. So annoying.
