Hi all,
I am starting JMBR tomorrow! I have done P90x and Insanity but cannot get excited to finish any of the programs thus I gain the weight back slowly but surely since I feel discouraged.
I am looking for some buddies to keep me encouraged and share stats and such! I have about 25ish pounds to lose and would love to do it before June 1st- my wedding date! I was able to lose 25 pounds doing only the first two months of P90x and limiting my carb and calorie intake...so hopefully I can be successful on JMBR.
Hope you will join on this crazy Jillian roller coaster! I will post stats tomorrow!

I just started week 3 and let me tell you that IT IS AWESOME and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this program. I did P90X and tried Insanity (hated it). I am a fan of P90X; however, I don't usually have over an hour to workout a day. Jillian's program is awesome and slowly builds endurance and strength and it's only a 1/2 hour so I think you push harder cuz 'you can do anything for a 1/2 hour, right?'
Good luck in your journey 0 -
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.0

So excited to see some others are starting today! I finished workout 1 today and did a little bit of p90x ab ripper x....not sure if I will continue to do that, but I ended up burning 430 calories in 50 minutes so that is awesome.
GreatPyrGirl...it is a tough workout but feels so good when you are done. I always have trouble with the diet part too. I can workout out but I can't mentally conquer the diet part. It is so frustrating but all in my control. 1/2 hour and day at a time, right?
What kind of metabolic test are you doing?0 -
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.0

I started yesterday and so far i'm enjoying this program. please add me so we can support each other0

2nd workout done - i'm gonna be sore tomorrow!0

I didn't realize how rough workout 2 was until I was walking up to my office! I love but hate that feeling.
Only burned 340 calories though...still a good workout.
One day at a time 0 -
I'm in the 3rd week and I was in same shoes as you are. Keep at it you will see a difference.0

It is good to know it does make a difference. It is hard when you work hard and eat right and get nothing. How long did it take for you to notice a difference?0

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.0

How is everyone doing, especially on their diet?0

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!0 -
I actually started in January but 3 weeks of bronchitis put me out of commission so now i'm just wrapping up week 2... I agree that the cardio one kicked my butt - the move that is like cross country skiing makes me want to pass out... but keeping it moving!... i run 1-2 miles every day after my 30 minutes with jillian... would love to have a few more friends who are on the same work out plan 0

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!! :-)

Hey I started today, workout 1 is done..
I think I wont do the kickstart ...
Anyone starting today?0 -
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!0

I just started yesterday (2/24) and am proud to say I woke up early today to get my workout in before work! (before this, i have woken up early to work out exactly zero times in my life). Looking for JMBR people who are in the similar weeks (1 or 2) to support each other!0
