Hello,

My name is Natalie. I am on my second day of JMBR. I am looking to get my body back into shape. I want to eat clean and stick with this program 100%. I am going to LA in June, so I would really like to be better than I am right now... I know I wont be anywhere close to what I desire, but anything is better than where I am now. Hopefully I can find some great friends on here.

Hi everyone...I've had it for over a year and I started it many times, never making it through the first 3 dvd's. I've just done those over and over. Now that I've lost a little more, maybe I can get through more than the first 2 DVD's. I see some of your results even in a short amount of time and I have to say I am impressed, so here I go, I'm going to start these tomorrow night!

Hey ya'll day one for me! Im 43 and really trying to get there so I can rock Costa Rica this Winter!! Add me can always use some motivation

Hi. My name is Rhonda. I'm 55 (gasp!) and purchased BR about a month ago. Today I finally did Day 1. I have a desk job, and eat sugar to keep me going when stressed out (too often). I am now logging what I eat, which helps me not grab those jelly beans. I have about 30 lbs to knock off. If I can make this a habit, I can lose weight and start enjoying a healthier me.

You can do it! Keep going and it will get easier!

I'm planning on starting tomorrow...again! However, I do have a renewed spirit and I'm ready. Does anyone want to buddy up? I'm a busy working mom of 2 who would like to get up at the butt crack of dawn to do this! I would love to have someone to keep me in check and I can do the same!

Hi,

I started JMBR 2 weeks ago and I am IMPRESSED! If my body fat scale is accurate at all. it looks like I've already lost 1% of my 40% body fat in the 2 weeks since I started. I haven't been following the meal plan cuz I can't imagine limiting myself to 1200 cal, but I have upped my veggie intake two-fold and so far I'm down 4-5 lbs. Unbelievable! It usually takes me a month to lose 5lbs. Also, I have cut down sweets and increased my water intake - I had no choice because I do the workouts in the morning and then for the rest of the day I feel like my body is generating heat and I get super thirsty. Must be that revved up metabolism Jillian keeps mentioning. So far it's looking good for me to actually continue with the program. My goal is to lose 20 lbs in the 90 days.

P.S. Workout 3 kicked my @ss

I just started workout 3 yesterday and workout 4 today-*kitten* kicked too! I was wondering why I am extra thirsty and what was said about body generating heat and metabolism revved up, it does make sense.

I am sticking to the 1200 calories or there abouts, but could not go without some chocolate and other little treats, so using several of Jillian's recipes/food recommendations but not as strict as the first week-it killed me having no treats. I lost 2 lb first week but put it back on the 2 week as I fell off wagon as I could not see how I would stick to the extreme and strict diet for 90 days. So the 3rd week was much more easy with treats included and I still lost 2 lb. Started 4th week now, so will see how it goes, but going away for weekend-so challenges ahead but planning to hire a rowing boat for an hour on one of the days and do lots of walking on other 2 days and eat carefully.....

Good luck everyone! :happy:

Hi

It's great that you're planning ahead for your weekend challenge. You just reminded me that I have an all-you-can-eat- brunch at a posh restaurant this weekend. Instead of looking for more actvities to burn calories, I'm going to focus on making smart choices and not eating once I'm full - no matter how good and tasty the food is. I can always go back to the restaurant and try other selections. I workout so hard and all it takes is a few bad food episodes to side-track me`or completely set me back. I`ve dealt with that too much in the past and I am not letting it happen again.

that reminds me--I was talking to a skinny friend once about buffets and she said "why would I eat more once I am full? There will always be good food." And I was stunned at how different our attitudes were. My viewpoint was (well--still working on that past tense) that this food is amazing and is only here now so I should eat as much of it as I can.

I'm Chantal I am 38 and I have just bought JMBR!!! I should get it in the mail this week. I can't wait!! I am currently doing couch to 5k and will be starting WK 5 tonight. I can't wait to get started!

I know. I *felt* the same way too. Food for me is/was a treat, no doubt about it. And by the way, the brunch was canceled but I ended up overeating fish and chips at a pub for dinner. I was full before the meal from the pint of beer I consumed, but I just could not resist finishing my plate because the food tasted so good. So much for my willpower and *new* approach to eating! I actually had french fries for two meals that day! Maybe I just have to accept that any time I step into a restaurant I'm going to overeat and just eat less the days before and after. I have a friend doing intermittent fasting and that's how he handles it.

Hi Everyone!

I have just started week 1 of the program again. i started 2 months ago but stopped after 2 weeks as i got a new job and basically life got in the way.

This time i am so excited to finish and seeing everyone on here is such a huge motivator for me

I am also following a 1200 calorie diet which is going well so far, just have to avoid eating bad foods on the weekends which is by big downfall.

Going to the supermarket now to buy some heavier weights and healthy snacks

hey all! so i have had the body revolution kit for awhile and have started the workouts before but with school and work it was hard to stick with it. now that school is ending and i am about finished with a job where i am around food all day (thank god!), i'm starting on the kickstart week. i am on day 3 of the kickstart and so far i'm not having cravings for food too much, but the cardio workout is starting to get old! but the real question i have is if anyone uses any recovery drinks after their workouts. i have the p90x results and recovery formula so i would like to use that but i don't know if it will mess with my results since there are 220 calories in each serving. i would probably only use it after my morning workouts the rest of this week, but would like to use it in the future. has anybody tried it and if so did it affect your results negatively? positively? anyways, hope everyone is doing great with the program, i'll be checking in again after my kickstart week is over!

Are you doing the kickstart diet too? I'm a little scared to do that as it is really restrictive. I haven't done the two a days yet, but I would like to, it is just hard for me with my work/kids schedule. Unfortunately I haven't used the recovery drink so I can't help you there. Good luck with everything!

Hello!

I'm gearing up to start this program. Most likely Monday if it arrives in the mail before then. I'm nearing the end of the most challenging year of my life. Last August 1st my husband moved out and by mid-September we were divorced. Leading up to the split I was so anxious that I lost quite a bit of weight...maybe 10-15 pounds. Then in the June 2012 timeframe I got a stress fracture under my big toe on my right foot, only to be followed up in July with a fracture of my left foot. So with exercise out and then embarking on this new life as a single mom and all the stressors and time constraints involved with that I have packed on the weight. Maybe 35-40 pounds. My feet are rehabbed and although I likely will never run distance gain (I was a half marathon runner) due to my stress fracture likely returning I feel READY to take back this body. I think I am also mentally ready for this challenge. Time to come out of the haze and start living this life for me!

My stats:

38 years old
5'7"
173 lbs
goal weight: 135

However, how I look and feel will always be more important than the number on the scale.
