Some Jillian Michaels results

I have tons more pictures, but this shows my progress thus far in a way that I think everyone can see... Even though, by many, I was *smaller* to start with.
I did 30 Day Shred, starting in April, followed by Ripped in 30. I took about a week off in between the two. I followed that up with another 8 or so days off and started another of Jillian's DVDs, Kickbox FastFix. I didn't really feel like this last one did a whole lot for me, but I *have* gotten smaller and in my back photos, I noticed measurable differences in my triceps. I guess I'll post those too, because that was pretty exciting for me.
1st day Kickbox FastFix
End of Kickbox FastFix
I'm starting on 6 Week 6 Pack tomorrow.
Since beginning in April, I have lost 15.8 lbs and a total of 15 inches overall. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 141 lbs. I lost an inch off each upper arm, a half inch off each forearm, 2.5 inches from my chest, 3 from my waist, 2.5 inches off my hips, an inch and a half off each thigh, and half an inch off each calf. I've gone from a size large top to a medium. I was wearing some 10s (most were pretty tight), should've been in 12s, now I'm in an 8 and some of those are too big. I've gone down a band size in my bra as well. I haven't been a 34 since before having kids (almost 20 years), nor have I really been a size 8 or smaller in as many years, honestly. It's a strange feeling, but it's mostly good.
The only thing I'm finding really difficult about these changes is that what I see in the mirror doesn't match what I see in those photos. I know I'm thin now, but I can't see that I'm as thin as the photos make me appear... I don't think I'm *that* thin. I'm hoping that at some point (preferably soon) the image in the mirror will match up with what I see in the photos.

I'm having the SAME exact problem! I'm 5'7 and started out 171 lbs- and now down to 146 lbs. I've only lost one size in jeans and shirts. I'm a medium in shirts now and I'm still between a size 9/11 in juniors!!! It bugs me because I could fit in those jeans before I lost weight. I def. look NO WHERE near what my pictures make me look like. I'm way bigger than in my pictures... Thought I was the only one who felt this way...0 -
You do look great though very fit looking and toned.0

Wow, great job!!! You've gotten awesome results! I've done 30DS, RI30, and am almost finished with 6W6P. I'm very pleased with my results as well, but I know exactly what you mean about looking better in photos than you feel you really look. It's weird! It still surprises me when people tell me I look fit. I'm like, really? Others see me as a fit person now? lol. You'll love 6W6P! Keep up the excellent work!
Btw, love your back tattoo!0 -
Amazing! JM should hire you for her ads!0

Thanks for sharing. Quite the inspiration!0

You look amazing!
I totally love Jillian Michaels, So far I've done Banish Fat Burn Metabolism (for 4 weeks) I'm currently doing Ripped in 30 and I'm on Level 2 day 3, and I plan on doing 6 week 6 pack once I've finished RI30.
I'm not brave enough to post photos yet but I hope I look as good as you when I'm done! 0 -
Awesome job! I need to drag out my 30 day shred DVD after I fully recovery from my knee injury!0

Amazing! This makes me want to start 30 day shred again.
and I LOVE your tattoo!
Thank you! 0 -
LOVE the kickboxing fastfix! Amazing job!
Thanks! Once I mostly had the moves down, I didn't find it nearly as challenging as her other DVDs, but it's definitely a fun one to have around to mix it up with.0 -
You look sensational!! I wish I could look like that...but it is a journey!
Thank you! And yes, it is. I have hypothyroidism and lost about 40 lbs back in 2010. I gained back about 15, which started me down this journey again. This time I've decided that I can't let up because I'm not going back to where I was. :flowerforyou:You look great
Thanks!!! :happy:0 -
Way to go, u look great!0
-
you look fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing, and I LOVE your tatoo too!!!!!!!0

Very nice progression!0
-
omg fantastic! I WANT THAT!!!! I'm going to work so hard to get it too--day 3 lvl 1 done!0
-
Thank you so much!Nice job! That's some great work and you look awesome.
It really did take some hard work & dedication, but I'm still going strong! I decided that 30 minutes or so out of the 24 hours I have in a day is not too much to give... It's so totally worth it for looking and feeling so much better overall! :happy: Thank you!Wow! You've had a great summer! Believe it!!
Thank you so much! Jillian totally gets on my nerves, but so does Tony Horton (I did 10 Minute Trainer mostly back in 2010 when I lost, still do them occasionally). They both get amazing results, you've just got to put in the time. And no excuses. Just do it.you look amazing!! think im going to need to get some jillian in my life soon
lol I could never be one of the girls in her videos, but I would totallyAmazing! JM should hire you for her ads!
being on an infommercial or something. Hahaha :laugh:
It makes me feel good when people tell me things like that, so thank you. :blushing:You look awesome! I am doing 30DS now and this is quite inspirational! Way to go!
Thanks!! :drinker:Awesome results!!
:flowerforyou: Thank you!Thanks for sharing. Quite the inspiration!

Well I can see that I'm smaller, and having gone down sizes I can tell as well. I just feel like that side view picture makes me look ridiculously thin & I honestly don't think I'm actually as thin as it appears... Which is just weird. lol0 -

Thank you! I guess I am much more fit than I was before... I pulled out the 10 Minute Trainer DVDs on Saturday. I did the Cardio one & it was too funny because it was *never* that easy the entire time I worked through the program two years ago. Not even at the end. lol So I know that I *am* much more fit than I used to be. I guess I'm waiting for abs to 'appear' before I call myself that or something. lol :laugh: Thanks, I'm rather partial to my back tat as well. It's still my favorite one. 0 -
Thank you! :blushing: Good deal on your routine. Keep at it, you'll get results. :drinker:You look amazing!
