I couldn't get w/o#7 at home in today, we have people staying with us so, I hit the Pump class at the gym!! 60mins... I thought it would be easy after JMBR... so I grabbed 2x10lbs... lol... I wanted to die... I just started with 8's, who the heck was I trying to fool!! I know I will feel it tomorrow!!
Also decided to change up my calories, back to what MFP rcommends and logging workouts; I am going to try eating only part of my cals back this time though.
Moe - I still want you to post in!!
Rednpnk - Stick with it!! As Jillian would say: "think about why you are doing this" "you want to look good in skinny jeans" "It's only 30 mins" "Don't phone it in" lol!! I know it's hard, but put yourself first and try to make it work... we really are capable of much more then we think we are :-)
Have a great weekend ladies!!0 -
Somebody motivate me please!!!!!!!! I wanna do it, I'm just to dammm tired!!! I'm starting to get annoyed with myself.. Getting out of bed at 4:30 sucks, but thats the only way I can do it.. Putting it off till the end of the day never works for me... I didn't get up yesterday because I wasn't feeling well, didn't get up this morning because I just didn't want to! Sad sad sad....
Please stick with it rednpnk we all need the support here. It must be so hard getting up so early though I feel for you. Just thnk how far you've come you can do this!!
Moe totally understand the need to switch it up it's a long programme. Would love to hear how you get on with other programmes.
Someone mentioned about this being a 13 week programme not 12 (which I thought it was). I looked at the book today and it is 13 weeks! Kinda happy because that will bring me up to 20th Dec and then I'm gonna take a break for Christmas. Roll on Christmas :drinker:0 -
I can do it, I can do it. I WILL DO IT! It's only 4 more weeks. No excuses, motivation has been found. Thanks ladies for the words of encouragement. I got this!0

I'm on day 3 of Tapout XT and man, these workouts are HARD! It pushes me to my limits, which is what I needed. I'm humbled...ugh...Lol.0

Was sick last week and didn't get my week 10 in so this week is my week 10 but I wish it could just be week 11. But I know the best thing for me is to make this week 10 again.......0

Sigh, that means 2 more weeks for me - but thats ok because I love this program and how strong it makes me feel! Week 12 starting off strong with WO 11 this morning. Still always a groggy start first thing in the morning but still got through. The 3 part pushups are ridiculous.0 -
gasp, gasp... just finished workouts 7&8 to make up for the weekend!! It was tough after 2 days off and not so good eating!!
I'll probably do them each one more time before moving on to Phase 3!! Yikes!!0 -

Still in awe that you did 2 together awesome! Only one more w/o 8 and Cardio 2 for me and then onto Phase 3 yeah!!
Moe your calories burned have been fab lately. Is tapout all cardio? Do you miss Jillian yet lol!0 -
On week 10, did workout 10 for the third time today and its by far the most fun AND most hard of all workouts so far! Last week I had a binge so didnt see any change on the scale but my goal is to stay strong and maybe I can expect a one pound loss on saturday! Keep your fingers crossed! How is everybody else doing?0

Thanks! My last circuit of 8 was not 100% - could barely keep arms up for more then 10secs in warrior 3!! Everytime Jillian said 'You may feel like dying but you won't' I had some colourful responses to my TV screen!! LOL!!
My plan is to do 7 again today and 8 tomorrow so I can start Phase 3 on Friday! Anxious for my results!!0 -

Yes, I agree, Workout 10 is one of my faves! Did WO 12 for the 2nd time today and although I'm getting better. Definitely like it more than WO 11. I still can't do the wheel push-ups. I can barely even hold my body up in the position for a few seconds let alonte try to do a pushup from there!0 -

Yay, you're almost done with Phase 2! Keep it up!0 -
7 & 8 done!!!! Only one more Cardio 2 then it's off to Phase 3 with me can't wait! I'm looking forward to 9 & 10 now thanks guys I normally prefer the second dvd so can't wait to do 10 now!
It's exciting everyone is coming close to the end now can't wait to see everyones final results.0 -
It was tough getting out of bed this morning! Probably because I don't really like Cardio 3. But I did it anyways! As always, a sweat fest lol.
With the 13 weeks (including the Kickstart Week), I will be done on Sunday, November 25! Next week! Of course, my last week is during Thanksgiving! We're not going to cook at home because it's just me, my son and his dad. I'm going to visit my mom and brother and we're going to take them out for a Thanksgiving lunch. I think it's easier to mind portions if you don't have leftovers! I will treat myself though, and not be crazy about the food.0 -
Started Phase 3 this week - definitely tough! Did workout 9 twice so far, and did workout 10 yesterday (ouch!). I didn't think i could sweat as much as i have been this week! Whew!0
-
I hate w/o 9!!!! But I did it. Now for sleep. 4:30 comes really fast! Good night!0

This mornings workout did not happen. My baby boy had other plans. He woke up many times last night, but I was still determined to get my workout in. As soon as I was up and stretching he wakes up crying again. I ignored him, but that didn't work. Oh well, I'll get it in tonight. As for right now, I'm holding him and researching sleep training! Have a good day everyone.0

So today will be my last workout of Phase 2.... then I'm on to Phase 3!!! I hated cardio 2... so I'm sure cardio 3 will be worse! To be honest, I only do the cardio when I don't get a run in. I know it's not sticking to the program completely, but it`s too much to do both and I prefer running.
I`ve had problems with my lower back, right side and it`s flared up again. Hasn`t been too bad but really felt it the last 2 days (after my double day) So I took yesterday off and will finish phase 2 with workout 8 and a run today.
I will be taking my measurements tomorrow for my Phase 2 results and posting them on here.
So puppy training.... this is my first dog, I had them growing up but never been responsible for training one. My lord, I might as well of had another baby!! lol!!! At least she naps and I can get some stuff done but it`s like she knows the 2 seconds I leave to do something (go to the bathroom, put something away, get a water) SHE PEES!! lol!! I need the patience of Job and a sense of humour for this!!
Wishing everyone a great day!!0 -
Dani - I like Cardio 3 better than 2 because it's shorter versions of the exercise - only 30 seconds. However doing them 3 times is sweat city! You're awesome, I HATE running, so kudos to anyone who can do it.
You know I had lower back probs at the beginning of Phase 2. My pilates instructor helped immensely by telling me to adjust my posture. Instead of doing the Western posture - whole chest out, tailbone/butt tucked in - relax your chest so you have a neutral spine (not curved forward) and UNTUCK your tailbone so that it relaxes into the natural curve. Yes, your butt will be sticking out. It felt really weird at first since I'm so used to the Western posture but wow did it release the pressure on my lower back. It was my left side. Heat wraps and Aleve helped too!
OMG i had the same experience with my puppy. She howled all night the first week. I tried tough love but it didn't work. I was crate training her and moved her crate into my room at night so she could see me - and that helped ease her anxiety. When she's old enough for crate training it helps train their bladders to hold their pee longer.0 -
Funny how we all seem to hate workout 9! I did it for the last time today and Im sooooo happy! Then I took a look at workout 11 and I still have to do the dreaded divebombers!0

Thanks D!!
I just finished workout 8 and tried your posture... yes, it helped a ton with the pressure!! Did some extra back stretchs after too!!
It is hard with the girls and puppy training... They are trying to help, if you know what I mean, and I think it is just confusing the poor thing!! We have her sleep in her little carry kennel beside our bed, she only gets up 1-2 times a night and I take her down for a pee... right now that is working well for us.
So I am now done with Phase 2!! Ready for what Phase 3 has to bring!!! (I think lol!!)0 -
OMG! Just finished my first Cardio 3 -- that totally wiped me out! Whew! But I did burn the most calories ever on JMBR, so it was worth it. 0

Phase 2 results :-D
Weight - 2.8 pounds down (8.4 total)
Chest - 0.5 inches down (1 inch total)
Waist - 0.5 inches down (3 inches total)
Stomach - 2 inches down (3 inches total)
Hips - 3.5 inches down (5.5 inches total)
Body Fat - 2.1% down (5.7% total)
So my body shape is definitely changing first month my waist shrunk now my hips, feeling slimmer by the day.
On to the last Phase now so excited!! I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do in the New Year don't want to jinx it though this is the longest I've stayed doing a programme. I'm thinking either P90x but swapping all the non strength days for Jillian cardio/yoga or I could join a gym and do Jamie Easons Livefit. Either way it is going to be a more strength based programme with some heavy lifting.0 -

How great it that??? Awesome work!
We are on about the same track to finish. This is the longest I've ever stuck with a program, I cannot believe it. (I stopped 30DS at 25 days... whats up with that?) But I bought TurboFire on a deal and my sister has P90x she could give me... I am not sure what to do. I am going on a cruise in early February and that is my 'goal'... I have a red dress I wore to a friends wedding a few years ago at my lowest since college. I want to rock that dress!
My JMBR from this week... WO9 is not my favorite. I don't ever hit a groove, you know? I feel like I am always playing catch up. I cannot do the Rock Star squats (you roll down, roll up and POP up... wth?) so I do jump squats. And the Plank Flies, I think my form is bad... i feel like i am straining my neck and now my upper back just aches. I need to get out of my head and just go for it. After WO7 & 8 I was doing 10 mins of Cardio... after WO9 I sat on the floor sipping water. But 'the pain I feel is fat melting off the body.' or at least it better be!
Good job everyone! A bad workout is better than spending that 1/2 hour on the couch!0 -
Awesome results Jen!!!!
My end of Phase 2 results:
Weight down 2 lbs (5 total)
waist down .5 (1.5 total)
hips down .5 (1.5 total)
thigh down 1 (1.5 total)
chest down 1 (2 total)
upper arm no change (down .5 total)
lower belly - baby pooch down .5 (2.5 total)
Not as great as Phase 1 but still shrinking... curious to see how lowering my cals for Phase 3 will be.
I am also thinking of what to do next... I have Shed and Shred which I have not done yet as well as JM Killer Buns and thighs... I would like to stick to more weight and resistance training and lifting and just do mainly running for cardio.
Up ALL night with puppy... will tackle workout 9 later this morning (after a nap maybe!)
Happy Friday!!0 -
Did w/o 10 last night, Got up this morning and did Turbo fire for cardio. That lil baby of mine was up again, so this time I just worked out in my room with him. Going down stairs to do Cardio 3 wouldn't have worked. BUT at least I got a workout in.. Keep up the good work everyone! Have a good day!!
Dani: I'm also working on that baby belly! Your results are great.. I need to do measurements also. I did them between phase 1 and 2, but forgot to do them when I started 3...0 -

Haha, I did the same with 30DS. I really wish I got that TurboFire deal! I might be tempted to pay full price if I can't find my Zumba DVDs. I think I need to go more the cardio route. I need to lose this layer of fat floating around my tummy and upper arms!0 -
