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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!! :smile:

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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!
