Ladies, it did take him a while to start. He's watched me over the past several months doing different dvds and could see the difference in my strength and stamina so he finally decided to join. It also helps that we are going on vacation to Cabo next year and told him he could not wear a shirt on the beach. He also has a physical job where he is on his feet all day and he definitely did complain the first couple of days that he was sooooo sore. While it still stretches and strains him, he has noticed a vast improvement in his physical performance. Good luck getting your hubbies to do it. It's so worth it.

Btw, my favorite Jillian is Ripped in 30...and Killer Buns. :-)

Three days in, workout only not planning to follow meal plan. Wow cardio 1 almost finished me off and makes me wonder if I am going to be able to progress. Any other men I'm this group?

Greg, you will progress. I felt the same way you did. You will find in the coming weeks you will get a lot stronger! Don't worry about getting the moves down perfectly every time as Jillian says "It's about progress, not perfection."


Hi Everyone,

I'm Jessica, currently on weeks 7 and 8.

Hi Everyone: Thank you Dawn for starting the thread. I think accountability is good for motivation. I am a 45-year-old mother of 3 (22, 10 & 6). I am married to a wonderful man who is very supportive. I have never really had a weight problem until the past five years. I have a lot of hormonal issues and I suspect that diet and exercise might actually help straighten things out for me and make me feel better. I used to be very devoted to exercise but the last four years have lost motivation. I am going to recommit and am glad there is a group to check in with. I just found MFP last night. I am going to start BR from the beginning so I don't hurt myself. Good luck and good results to everyone.

Hello everyone! My name is Kat I am 29 years old and have a 4 year old son. I started JMBR three days ago and have had trouble already staying motivated. My plan is to try to get in shape by my 30th birthday which is in April. My husband has been very motivating and has my back 100% The problem I am finding so far is the food. Is it okay to just pick some of the recipes and substiute things that are healthy or do I need to stick to her meal plan to the T? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hi, I have actually had this for a year now and have pretty much mastered Phase one (because I have an infant who STILL isn't sleeping through the night and quitting and starting over has been my mantra), but this time I am dedicated to finishing the workout.

Now, I am not overly optimistic, I know my boundaries and working 6 days a week with 4 hours sleep, hungry kids, and a husband while eating these little 2 calorie meals is going to turn me into a Fire Breathing Dragon. :explode: But I am dedicated to 6-days for 90 days.

Hello Everyone:)

My name is Sharonda. I have attempted to start this program twice before and I apparently have lousy timing. I've started again this week and 'm determined to finish it this time. Looking forward to seeing what my results will be if I push myself to the limit. Please feel free to add me if you are looking for some extra encouragement or accountability.

Welcome everyone! This program is ONLY 30 minutes! We can do this! Really looking forward to see you all reach your goals (and the end of the program! :laugh: )

Hi all,
Am just waiting for my disks to arrive [hopefully they will be here on Saturday].
Am very afraid that I'm not going to be fit enough to do it but am darn well going to give it my best shot.
I have quite bad asthma and a bit of a dodgy knee but neither or those things have ever stopped me doing anything I've really set my mind on but I am hoping that joining this group will encourage me on and allow me to cheer on others in their efforts as well.

Wishing you all the best
Sky x
