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!!!
Totally agree with this! And somewhere, she must have gotten the impression I've suddenly gained coordination!0 -
Keep hammering it out...it's going to be so worth it!0

I am so glad to see your posts! I was doing BR and fininshed week 6 and quit (2 weeks ago) because the scale was not moving. UGHHH! Now I wish I had stuck with it. I guess I will start back tomorrow. I think I'll probably do a week of 3 and 4 before starting back with a week or two of 5 and 6. Any thoughts?
Again, THANK YOU for your post about not losing pounds. That is EXACTLY the reason I quit.0 -
I think you should be able to get back into it if you only missed a couple weeks. Since I started phase 3, I have lost three pounds. I feel like I am working really hard for that little bit of weight loss. It is so important to look at the overall picture. It is NOT about the scale! I am in a size 4!!! That is so incredible! Who cares what the scale says? My new goals - lose belly fat and improve flexibility. My favorite motivational quote "Shut up! Work hard! Be patient!" I tell myself this almost daily. Get back at it and you will see results!0

So I am starting JMBR this week and I am really excited I am curious to see what I am supposed to buy for my first week or recipes am planning to go shopping tomorrow anybody have any suggestions? What's the best work outs i can do to prep?0
-
Best way to prep...I'd say practice push-ups and work on cardio. The first week you do two workouts a day. That will get you in shape fast. As far as the diet, I did not follow the meal plan. The book says it is 1200 calories a day so that is what I stuck with. I am a picky eater and it has stuff like squid in it. Not for me!0

I have officially done ALL of the DVDs. There is no more unknown and that feels great! I have added "wheel push-ups" to my bucket list. Those were tough. I really enjoyed the ab workouts in 11 and 12. My quads were already sore from yesterday and I know tomorrow they will be really unhappy with me! My daughter told me I am really "slimming down". So good to hear! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I deserve it and i am so glad I did not give up on me!0

Size 4!!! This is great!!! I am mostly interested in changing my body over the number on the scale!!! I would like to loose the last 10 lbs but if my body changed and I went to a size 4 I would be even happier than loosing even 1 lb!!!0

It is amazing - everywhere I go people tell me how thin I look. I am not looking for frumpy, baggy clothes to hide my body. I am looking for clothes that show it off! I am CONSTANTLY rubbing my shoulders and bicepts because I cannot believe how muscular they are. I made myself a sticker chart when I began my revolution. I wrote the name of each workout on a label and made a large calendar to put them on. Each time I do a workout, I get a sticker on my chart (I teach first grade and I guess I think like a 6 year-old!) I only have three stickers left that say "Cardio 3". I realized tonight that it is really almost over and it makes me a little sad. I have made HUGE progress. I do not look like Anita yet, but I think if I do this program a few more times, I just might!0
-
ALMOST done!!! Only three workouts left! I think I am going to start over and just do one week of each level (WO 1, WO 2, Cardio 1 for a week, then WO 3, WO 4, Cadio 1 for a week...) I did get great results but I still have a ways to go. I guess it was not realistic to think I would look like the girls on the video after I finished but I was kind of hoping for it! Maybe after another round or two I could look like them. I have lost a considerable number of inches (I will log the final total when I am finished in three days), but I still have belly fat that needs to go.0
-
AWESOME JOB! I can't wait to hear how many inches you've lost!0
-
RESULTS ARE IN!!!!
Starting weight was 134 ending weight was 127.
Measurements were:
Upper chest 34 - 33
Bust 36.5 - 35
Midriff 31 - 29.5
Upper Arm 11.5 - 11
Waist 32.5 - 29
Upper Hip 37.5 - 36.5
Lower Hip 38.5 - 37
Upper thigh 21 - 21
Mid thigh 21 - 21.5
Calf 14 - 14
Dress size 8 - 4
It might take me a couple more rounds, but I can and WILL get the body I deserve!!!!0 -
Thanks so much for your posts! I started phase 2 this week. I was experiencing frustration during phase 1 expecting a greater weight loss. I lost 3 lbs in the first weekend then took the next three weeks to loose another pound! I am glad to see this is not uncommon. I am excited to see how much more strength I have now, even after just one month.0

So after finishing, I have taken a horrid break. I have a hernia (which I think I have had for years but now that I lost so much belly fat, it is visible). I am seeing a surgeon in two weeks and I have been using this as an excuse to "take it easy". I feel myself turning into jello. My hard muscles are going away. I am losing all I have done. This is kind of sad to me becuase it makes me think "will I have to workout this hard forever just to maintain?" I have decided that the surgeon won't be able to see the hernia if it is burried in fat, so I am back at it! I am starting over and doing just one week at each level. I am hoping to up the weights and have better form this time around. WO 1, Here I come!0
-
Workouts 1 and 2 were SO much easier this time around! I barely broke a sweat. I am sore today from WO 1 though. I think I like the idea of repeating the program over and over but only spending one week on each level. This way I can get a rest with out taking a "break" from working out. I will stay in the routine, but not kill myself everyday. Obviously even WO 1 and 2 were good for me because I am really sore in my inner thighs and armpit muscles (that may not be the technical name for them). I am excited to see what my results will be like this time around!0
-
Cardio 1 is a total piece of cake after finishing cardio 3! I am surprised by how much stronger I am. I took 2 weeks off and still it is not too bad at all.0
-
Holy Sore Muscles, Batman! Even though I completed WO 11 and 12, these early guys still do the job! Just worked through 3 and 4. My tricepts hate me today. I am using heavy weights for the whole thing. I am so impressed by how much stronger I am. My form is so much better this time around. I skipped Hallow Man because it made my stomach bulge really gross. I am off to see the surgeon about my hernia tomorrow. Hopefully he will tell me that I need a tummy tuck ASAP and insurance must pick-up the bill! (That'd sure be nice!)0
