It's Time for a Revolution!

I decided to lose some weight in February and dropped 30 pounds so far! I watched calories, did jm 30ds and used my elliptical. I would like to lose 10-15 more and really tone up so I ordered jmbr. I am planning on really sticking to it over the summer! I think logging workouts this way will keep me motivated and accountable. I just did day 1 workout 1. Not too bad at all! I plan on doing cardio 1 tonight.

That scares me a bit! I guess I will just do what I can. I am not in very good shape!0 -
I ALMOST wimped out and went to bed instead of doing cardio 1. I am so glad that I didn't. It was way easier than I thought it would be. After doing level 3 of 30ds, I think phase 1 of BR won't be too tough for me. I can totally do this!0
-
Workout 2 - COMPLETE! I need to get some heavier weights for part of this. I will do cardio 1 later tonight. I am also still using my elliptical for 45 minutes each day.0
-
Welcome! I am going into week 5 tomorrow and let me tell you workout 3 and 4 are SO much harder than 1 and 2! Just be ready!!!0

Just did cardio 1. I am going to do the kick start plan, but I am not doing the diet. It is hard to stick to that with a family to feed. Cardio 1 is very comfortable for me now. After a month of this I know I will be ready to move on to phase 2. I know that it has to get a lot harder because I watched the infomercial and saw amazing results. That's what I am looking for. I want to go back to school in August (I'm a teacher) and have my co-workers shocked by my progress. I want to melt the fat and find some muscles. I know that is going to take some work.0

Day 3 is a success. I completed cardio 1 TWICE! The back of my legs are really sore today. I think maybe the running man? I don't fee like I have enough room to do the suicides properly. I am going diagonally and I have about eight feet from one corner until I crash into my elliptical.0
-
I hate the Running Man. I did the Kickstart week and after doing Cardio 1 9 times in one week I am over it. I know I still have to do it for three more weeks, I did lose 6lbs and 2 inches during the kickstart.0
-
I was so happy to be finished with cardio 1 everyday and found that I actually kind of like it when I only do it twice a week! Great job innerautumn, way to get it done even when you don't necessarily want to!0

I hope I feel the same as you do about Cardio 1. I have it tomorrow for the first time since my kickstart week. I have enjoyed not having to do it for the last few days. Its not that its hard its just doing the same moves over and over again gets boring.0 -
Just finished day 4! I had my daughter take pictures of me so I would have some "before" pix. I wish I had done that before I lost 30 pounds! I am going to have her take some more after phase 1 and hopefully I will see a difference.0
-
Mark day 5 off the list! I did both workout 2 and cardio1! I went shopping with my girls today and bought a new swimsuit (and I actually like it and don't feel like a whale!), two new summer dresses (one is strapless and shows off my new shoulder muscles), 8 pound weights (so I can get even bigger shoulder muscles), and better shoes to workout in! What a great day!0
-
I have officially started week 2! Got a heart rate monitor today (after my workout). I am a little scared to use it and find out my calories burned is less than I have been logging!0
-
The program definately gets more challenging, but I really liked Cardio 2 more than 1!! I don't miss 1 (esp the RUNNING MAN!!) LOL and Cardio 3 is c-r-a-z-y!! every 20 seconds you're doing a different move! I am almost done with the program, but think I may restart it and amp up the weights in the beginning workouts to make them more challenging!
Good luck on your revolution!!

I am officially done with the first two weeks! Hooray! It was so nice to put those DVDs back in the case and know that I was finished with them. I thought to myself, "Thank you for your services, but you will no longer be needed!" I gained a couple pounds the first week (I told myself it was muscle) and then lost three this last week. I feel thinner and that is what counts. I am constantly checking out my shoulders and upper arms. They are really getting some musles and I am diggin' them! I look forward to starting workouts 3 and 4 next week!0
-
That great.Your doing really good :happy:0
-
Just finished workout 3. Some parts were tough, others were not too tough. Overall, I am much sweatier than the last two weeks. I think this will bring about some real change! I have sweat dripping off of me and IT FEELS GREAT!!!0
-
Workout 4 is going to be a love/hate relationship for me. The trees in the beginning were SO tough for me. I have no balance! The part with weights up in the air and getting up and down on your knees - that was not my favorite! I loved the "squirms". I felt like that was a good ab workout. It is my goal to do all of the "hallow man" without ever putting my legs down.0

This past week I was on vacation and stayed in a cabin in the mountains of Colorado. I brought my BR with me and did it faithfully everyday. I am so happy to say that I have now finished phase 1! Tomorrow is my rest day and then I begin phase 2. I am a little nervous because I am going on a conference on Monday and have to stay in a hotel room with my co-workers for four days. I cannot miss my workouts so I will have to do it in front of them or try to get them out of the room for about 35 minutes each day. Hopefully it won't be too humiliating! I don't like an audience ever but especially not the first time I am doing a workout!0
-
Good luck on handling that challenge! You won't regret having fit them in.0
-
Just did WO 5 and I LOVED it! I was scared and it was tough, but what a GREAT workout! My arms are jello right now. THANKS, JILLIAN!!!0
-
I tried to put before and after pix but they are not turning out nicely. I will work on this more later.0
-
Halfway through week six. It is tough but not impossible. Burpees hurt my right shoulder so I have to be careful with those and sometimes just finish it up with jumping jacks if it is too painful. I have not missed one day yet! I wish that my results were a bit more dramatic but I know I am stronger. Hopefully the last half of the program will have more noticable results.0
-
WO7 was pretty tough for me but I know it will get the results I am looking for so I will stick with it. I enjoyed WO8 and did a better job on the burpees last night. I have not lost ONE POUND since I started this, but took pictures before and halfway through and I am really excited about the results. Another six weeks of this and I will be lookin' good!0
-
Thank you so much for your posts, Innerautumn. I'm in Week 2 of BR, and following your results with the program gives me great inspiration!0
-
Just finished phase 2 - THANK GOD!!! It was tough and I am not an expert at all of it, but I did it! I am stronger and have much more muscle than before I started. I have not lost one single pound since I started this program but I have gone from a size 8 to a size 4 - WITHOUT LOSING A POUND!!!! I can't believe how muscular my arms and shoulders are getting. I think pretty soon my arms will look like Jillian's and I am not even kidding! It is amazing and I am excited to see what results phase 3 will bring!0
-
That is fantastic! I was never an expert before moving on to a new level! I'm glad you posted your loss of inches to help those that are discouraged about not loding pounds.
You are doing great!0 -
Haven't posted for a while but I am still at it. I am starting week 10. Just did WO9 tonight and it was tough. I think it is kind of like childbirth - you forget how bad it was immediately after it is over. I can't even think of what moves were so awful but I know some were! I only have to do it one more time though! That really motivates me to keep going. I only have to do each video (except for cardio) four times. I can do that! I am starting to wonder what I will do when I am done. Start it over? I still have more work to do before I get the body I want!0

"You can do the pigeon squats if you believe" - I must not have believed it enough becuase after two weeks I am still falling over! Maybe I will master them in round 2 of JMBR!0
