Jillian Michaels - workouts

Jillian definitely works, I lost 6 lbs during the 30DS plus a couple off the waist and hips while noticing very nice muscle definition.. didn't measure other areas. I'm currently doing her RI30 and Yoga Meltdown and looking forward to great results!

Just keep it up. Usually your body retains water after workouts to help repair your muscles.. and of course, you'll need a good balanced diet to help you, so keep that in mind.. as Jillian says, "you can eat your way through any amount of exercise." so be careful there.

Good Luck!

Has anyone ever told you your SO looks like Stephen King? I think that every time I see your ticker.

I did her 30DS dvd back in Nov 2011 to Jan 2012 and I lost 13 lbs. The weight has stayed off and it took me 2 weeks to see results, but after I finished it I saw a big change in my body.

After steadily losing 120 pounds with just walking and eating well, I started Body Revolution two weeks ago. My weight which had been dropping regularly jumped up 3 pounds and stayed there. I had made no changes to my eating. As of today, I'm back down those 3, but my weight loss has basically stalled. However, I was able to wear some pants I couldn't at the start. I haven't remeasured yet, but will in another two weeks. The lack of scale movement is discouraging for sure as I still have a lot to lose. And there is that voice in my head at says, "Stop working out! You were doing better before!" But I'm going to stick with it to see what I can accomplish.

It is frustrating to do more and get rewarded with less (according to the scale) - I can see why people quit early on in new exercise programs! But you'll never know what might have been if you don't see it through.

You all are definetly inspiring me to go buy one or some of her DvD's tomorrow. I started the 30DS last time and only did about half way through and quit so hoping this time I can make it through the full 30 days. Do you do it everyday for 30 days straight or alternate with different workouts? If you do it 30 days straight, do you afterwards do some cardio or weights the same day? Also, which one of her videos are better for strength training? Just curious to see what you guys say, been contemplating what workout video to get and what to do. I have an elliptical at home for exercise or of course could go outside to walk my dog. Thanks

I love them. I mean when I'm sore I know its working but like I said the scale makes me sick. I alternate them for example, I started with 30 day shred, completed level 1, got bored and started doing RI30 WITH Shred for a week. Then I went and brought Banish Fat, and No More Trouble Zones, both are addicting. "No more" uses weights, mines are 6.6 pounds. The girls in the video use lighter pounds then I do but it BURNS my arms. Banish fat, is straight cardio with no breaks, well a little break but its like a second and I'm literally catching my breath with each circuit. PLUS you sweat something serious with both. Since I fell in love with these I've abandoned RI30 and shred BUT since I started level 2 of both I will do them on the weekends to at least complete the program.

I started with the 30 day shred. I did that and lost my first 30 pds. I exercise 5-6 days a week sometimes 7. I then got her ripped in 30 and kickboxing. I just started doing her 6 pk in 6 weeks and LOVE IT!! HUGE RESULTS!!!

I lost inches rather than weight...but I can definitely live with inches.

Me too and to be honest i'm not too concerned with how much weight I lose anymore, it's about health, strength and dress size. I am now able to comfortably slip into some really sassy clothes.

I did Body Revolution. . .I was at goal weight, so I didn't focus on her eating plan. I gained strength and endurance using her program. I think if you follow the eating plan AND workouts, you should see not only inches, but lbs changing as well.

Push hard! You'll get results! Good luck!!!

The first time I did the video, I lost about 8 pounds. I didn't do measurements at the time. I just started it again 4 days ago. I weighed in, did measurements, and took pictures to see how things go this time.

Okay I have a question to go along with the main one. Are you all just doing the 30 day shred by itself or are you adding in more cardio and weights? Could that also be a reason why you are not losing a lot of weight with the program? Most people I talk to say it is definitely more inches lost than weight but wasn't sure if you are adding more to the program than just the 20 minute a day thing.

I do Tae Kwon Do two days a week, run one day a week and the shred 4 or 5 days. I actually to some form of exercise every single day. It is a major part of my life now.

I did the 30 ds and lost only 8lbs but 10 1/2 inches combined. Get a measuring tape they are cheap and go that way. The scale will drive you crazy. JM workouts are made to burn fat and build muscle. Doing that you mike not see the scale move.
