I started today. I'm not in shape, so it was hard, but I pushed through and did the full 30 min. Would love some friends to keep me motivated as this progresses. Starting out at 219, need to lose 50-60 lbs. Diet didn't start today. Doing a metabolic test tomorrow at 12:30pm, so I need to start fasting soon.

Actually, I looked it up, it's a biometric screening (through my company's wellness program). I don't know all the details, but I know I will get BMI & lipids. It's free, so the fasting will be worth it. An additional motivator for me to focus on working out and eating well.

2nd workout done - i'm gonna be sore tomorrow!

I'm in the 3rd week and I was in same shoes as you are. Keep at it you will see a difference.

I started Sunday 2/17 and I'm excited. I have to say that her Cardio 1 workout was the toughest I've done so far (maybe it's because I'm not a cardio person). Can't wait til the 90 day mark (one day at at time) Add me so we can support each other through the program.

Good job everyone!

I'm starting week one again tomorrow. I originally started three weeks ago and hoped to be starting week 4 tomorrow, but traveling for work and a non-Jillian injury put me out of commission for the last two weeks =(

Getting through that week one was great though. Day one I had to stop a few times during the workout because I was getting lightheaded. Day two I got lightheaded a couple of times. After that I was already getting conditioned and the lightheadedness went away. Pretty cool. Jillian is fun and motivating.

Before starting Body Recovery, I also cut up old Self and Shape magazines and made myself a motivational board with lots of sayings and pictures. The board has really helped me. During the workouts, I lean the board up against a piece of furniture so that I can read the phrases if I'm going through a tough part in the workout. Jillian says something about needing a why behind doing the workout and I couldn't agree more.

I was not following her diet plan. I'm not sure if I'm on board with the idea of eating so few calories. I know changing fat to muscle mass takes time and the weight shift down the scale seems to take forever. If I'm not seeing any major changes after week four, then I may incorporate her diet plan too.

Keep going everyone!

The FLU and "crud" came to my house right after I started my first week! I didn't exercise at all last week and also ate badly; so I am BACK ON today, Monday the 25th, restarting Kickstart week! Will feel good to get back on plan!
@naiauhane I too made myself a motivational board, I agree it helps to list your goals and personal sayings/pictures that mean something to each of us.
We can do this!! :-)

I started a week ago and love it! After doing Cardo 1 for the first time I was mad at how short of breath i was so I quit smoking cold turkey that night (on day 4 right now). Starting week 2 tonight! Wish me luck!
