    Jillian Michaels is a bad *kitten* so I'm sure if you follow her explicit directions, it will work. Diet included. I have 30 day shred, and it kicks my *kitten* every time I use it. Dropped like 3lbs the first week (not on a super healthy diet)... If I were to stay persistent, I may have lost more. lol

    My friends and I are starting this on April 1st. I can't wait I just finished with an 8 week weight loss challenge at the gym and lost 21 lbs, now I am shooting to lose the next 50 with Jillian's program. Read the facebook page for the Revolution there are success stories there and links to blogs where people doing the program are charting their progresss week to week.

    I just watched the Cardio disc for phase one and it looks doable. I just need to pick up some more weights. Right now I only have 3lb ones, wishing my Walmart carried the Jillian ones.

    Well it's new. I am on week 3 of this program and it's great. I'm 155 pounds and on the first week I lost 2 pounds WITHOUT doing her kickstart your metabolism schedule. If I would've done the kickstart for the first week, I'd probably be done more pounds. the second week I lost one pound but I gained muscle which is better so I can burn more calories. As the weeks progress, it gets harder and there's a lot of balancing but they are so you can do the other weeks easier. Many workouts she does on the first and second week are in the 3rd and 4th week she adds things to it so it gets harder. Overall I think it's great so far. Can't wait for Day 90 though :D!

    I started with 5lbs weights because if you are used to using weights, it's good if you upgrade and she tells you in the DVD for her workouts when to use the appropriate weight. She recommends later to get weights heavier than 8 to do some exercises that won't blow out your biceps.

    Hope I helped.

    Oh and each workout is supposed to be 30 mins, give or take 5 mins, that's what ive been seeing from others posting about the daily workout.

    thx, i did checkout her site but i didn't hear how long each one was. i get it's a lot longer of a program but i like her 30 min dvd's.. i can always fit them into my day at some point...anything longer and i won't do it.

    Do you think people will get the same results without using her diet plan? i hate using their diet plan as either half the foo on it i don't eat or like or i can't get it at our local stores... i know i would get better results using it...I also didn't get great results from her 30ds, so i was wondering if i would get some from this one..???

    A lot probably depends on the person. If your still staying within a reasonable Calorie goal and eating pretty healthy not just a bunch of processed foods than I'm sure you would get results. I think it would be fine not to follow her meal plan. Consistancy is key, if you do that with the exercise and your food I'm sure you will get great results. How much weight do you have to lose? I understand about the 30 mins so this program is great!

    not a whole lot now, i have 8 lbs left. I have been stuck for 2.5 month now at 133 and my goal is 125. I am 5ft 2 inches.. just can't seem to get under 132 at all but i have a hard time sticking to diet plans as i am picky and i have a picky hubby and 5 year old at home and i refuse to cook 3 separate meals!!!! so i try to do really well all day and then have a bit more calories at dinner time just b/c it's usually more filling/ heavy foods... I am slowly converting them to healthier dinners but i have to do it slowly,lol

    This program is awesome! I tried to stick with P90X before, and the workouts were too long and I started to dread doing them (not to mention, it made me think that yoga was the devil, haha). Once I stopped P90X, I started to look into Jillian Michael's DVDs. I first bought the Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and even though it kicked my butt, I loved it! I was hooked and bought the rest of the DVD's she had released so I wouldn't get bored. Even the yoga one, which is now one of my favorites. I recently started the Body Revolution Program - I look forward to working out everyday and since its only 30min it fly's by. I haven't been using the diet plan she includes, but I have been sticking to the 1,200 calorie rule (she suggests 250 cal breakfast, 400 calorie lunch, 150 calorie snack, and 400 calorie dinner) and getting results like everyone else doing the program. I reference Hungry Girl for low-cal recipes, and cut out red meats (only shopping on perimeter of grocery store & organic section on a budget). Each DVD is set up of 4 circuits (much like her other DVDs) so it's easy to gauge how much longer you have. I also skipped the 7 day Kick Start. I've lost about 5lbs and I'm on Week 2 day 3 (the cardio workout is no joke). She's not annoying in the video & is good about giving ques, she even makes me a laugh a few times throughout the workout and is very motivating. The program hasn't been out long enough to see (other people then the test group's) results, so I'm excited to see results of other people soon. It's pricey but so far I think it was a great investment. I would recommend the program to anyone :happy:

    I'm on week 3 and decided not to weight in before the end of each phase. The thing is I feel like I've put some weight on. My pants are tighter and I do not feel skinnier. I'm not following the meal plan because it's too complicated for my situation, but I stay on a 1200 calories daily diet and eat healthly non process food. I hope the weight loss will start soon, I'll evaluate the results at the end of this phase.

    As for the workouts, so far so good. They are well balanced and 30 minutes is perfect for me. I usually train in the morning and run in the evening.

    So i'll say Yay if the results are there next time I weight in! :-)

    Just finishing up my week one and I have already lost 8 lbs! I do the workout she tells you to do each day and on top of that if I have the time I do Interval Training for half hour after. I am not following her diet, but I am eating around 1200 calories a day. Loving the results so far!

    I'm starting tomorrow, so happy to hear all the great reviews! I won't be following the lunch part of the meal plan because I can't bring those things to school, but I'll still be eating clean and healthy! Will it still work?

    I just started this on Monday! Super excited! I did the first two workout videos and I'm loving it! The only thing I can't figure out is how to adjust the resistance cables? Can anyone help me with this? I've read the instructions but just can't seem to figure out how to make them shorter.

    Also, does anyone know what I should do when I go on vacation for a week in July? Do I just skip and week and restart when I get home? I plan on sticking with the 1200 calorie/day while on vacation but I won't have access to a dvd player to do the videos.
