Hi. I'm Jen! I'm in the middle of week 3. I love that these workouts are making me feel strong and I can feel and see definition in my arms and legs already!! I'm not trying to focus too much on the scale and numbers just yet because of the early point I am at in the program. I didn't do the diet bc I don't eat much of the foods. I'm so glad I found this group!! My friends, coworkers and spouse aren't getting the same excitement out of feeling my biceps (yes, they're back!) as I do!!! Thought you'd understand here!!!0

Hello! I'm Chelsea, I'm a new mom trying to get back in shape from being pregnant. I work full time and my daughter is 6 months old. I'm usually exhausted and have fallen off the work out wagon- I have 20 pounds to go to get back to pre pregnancy weight. I'm starting Body Revolution tomorrow!0

I completely understand where you are at. I'm a newish mother of two, my son is 14 months and my daughter is almost 4. I also work full time and I struggle everyday to have enough energy to do the things that HAVE to be done. It's taken me over a year to get motivated to try, fall of the wagon and get back on. I'm on week three of the body revolution but when I say week three it has taken me well over a month to get there, but so far it has been completely worth it. The best advice I have is when you fall off the wagon is to get back on. I have to get back on the wagon several times a week, Losing the weight but more importantly having the energy is what keeps me going. Plus I love the support on this website! I've never been a "boards" type person, but I have really appreciated the support and knowing that there are others that go through the same struggles and successes that I do!0 -
Hi, I'm Robin. I started workout 3 on Sunday. Needless to say, it kicked my behind!! I have a friend who is almost done with it and she has loaned me the program. So, I get the play by play from her on all the crazy yet to come. Every time she tells me something about new it makes me thankful for what I'm doing now. :-)
I'm excited to see the change after Phase 1. It's definitely a challenge. I am not using the diet plan but tracking my calories on MFP instead. I am also not sticking to the 1200 recommended calories a day. I eat between 1350 and 1500 a day. I've been told that will help me when I reach maintenance and I will be able to eat more and not gain weight.
Good luck to everyone!!!0 -
It's always nice to have someone who appreciates the nice definition in your newly formed biceps!!! You go girl!!0

Hi everyone, I'm Kate.I started Body Revolution on Tuesday of this week. Three workouts in and I still like it...that's a good sign, right? Cardio 1 kicked my butt this morning though, that is tough!
I am really excited to see my results. I made my husband hide our scale (I am a bit obsessive about it). I am not going to weigh myself or take measurements until the 90 days is over. I can't wait!
Only 87 days left0 -
Hi everyone! I'm glad to see the support of JMBR here. I started around May 20th - and I am about to start Phase 2 next week. I'm scared of what she's going to have us do next! I am a little disappointed that I haven't really lost too much weight though this month, but I have noticed my clothes are a little looser. Does anyone use protein powder after workouts? I work out in the morning, before I eat, so by the time I workout, shower, get ready, and get to work where I can finaly eat breakfast it is almost an hour and a half since I started my workout. Could this timing be a factor as to why I am not really loosing weight? I've been eating mostly clean, not too many cheats, salad for lunch, chicken for dinner. Is there more I could be doing?0

Welcome to all the members I have not yet said hello to! Ill health has meant I've not been around much for the last few weeks.0

I always have protein powder, yes. I found upping my protein was key in me getting a better looking body. When I did my shred I think I ate too few calories and not enough protein which left me still looking "skinny fat". The weight was coming off but I was losing muscle mass.. And things looked saggy.
Reasons for why you're not losing weight.. Are you netting enough calories? Too few cals can hinder progress.
Phases 2 and 3 ups the game a little so this increase in intensity might spur the losses on with bigger burns. Are you drinking enough water? Taking adequate rest?
Sometimes weight doesn't seem to change but clothes become loose like you mentioned. This is why it's important not to gauge progress only by the number on a scale. It's about those inches too!!!Hi everyone! I'm glad to see the support of JMBR here. I started around May 20th - and I am about to start Phase 2 next week.

Hey guys, I've been looking into this workout and I am amazed at others results. I am currently saving money to order this program and hope it will finally be the workout right for me! I have always been overweight and have struggled to lose/keep off weight. If there is anyone who has already started/completed this program I would love to hear how it was for you, any tips or problems.
Keep going everyone!

Hi everyone!
I'm Shelly and I started JMBR on July 15th. I am loving it. In 2011 I was diagnosed with a crummy autoimmune disease and put on prednisone. I gained 50 pounds in a matter of months!! I'm doing much better and I'm off of the steroids now, but trying to lose this weight. So thankful for JMBR!
Question for all of you - I am really out of shape and can't hold the plank position nor can I do all of the pushups - even modified ones. I am almost at the end of week 2. Should I do weeks 1 and 2 again, or should I move on to 3 and 4 even though I haven't mastered 1 and 2? Thanks in advance for your answers!
Have a wonderful day.0 -
Hi everyone!
New to My Fitness Pal but not new to getting tortured by Jillian Michaels. I'm about 3 weeks into the program and feel so amazing already. I haven't weighed myself yet but I can tell my fitness has improved to no end!
I'd love for you all to help me on this journey and I will definitely help you out with yours. We're all in this together
Feel free to add me too. I'd appreciate the encouragement!0 -

I am on Day 9 and so far so good! I am really good at starting a program, but by the 3 week mark, I am bored and looking for something new. I love the variety of this program so I'm hoping to stick with it. By joining this group, I now have accountability!!0

Hi everyone! My name is Amy and I live in Southwest Missouri. My husband and I have been married for almost 7 years and have a blended family of 5 kids. I love making new friends and am interested in a wide variety of activities. I work and go to school, both full-time. I'm a double major in Accounting and Spanish and stay pretty busy.
In high school I played sports and was a cheerleader and was pretty slender, even after having my children. However, after a few pretty stressful life events I let my health slide, ate really poorly, and put on a LOT of weight. I've managed to take about half of it off so far.
On the plus side, my determination to lose the weight and get healthy has led me to taking on new fitness challenges, such as running (I have never been a runner, even when I was in high school and skinny).
I ordered BR about 5 or 6 months ago and have been "stuck" on workouts 1&2 all that time because I couldn't manage to do the workouts consistently. Finally, this last Monday, I made it to workouts 3&4. I have to say I'm pretty sore!! But it's all worth it. I feel a great sense of accomplishment! I'm really glad to have found this group. I'm trying to use MFP to stay accountable with my exercise and calories.0 -
Hello! I am a 32-year-old female from the Midwest. I am on week 3 of phase 1 of BR and loving it! Well, loving and hating it. I usually don't stick with things like this very long because I get bored easily, but I love that I am switching between 3 workouts each week. I actually feel weird taking the rest day! I've never worked out 6 days a week before and I am surprised that I am enjoying it.
I am almost 5'7", starting weight 163.4 lbs. Hoping to get great results like so many others I've seen on myfitnesspal and other sites! Good luck everyone!0 -
My Name is Zenice, just started JMBR on monday; ive tried it all, im never able to follow through, i give up too early cos i love carbs and hate execrcising. But recently i wore a dress i had in february and ripped d zippers and that was when reality dawned. so i am hoping this works.
SInce i started it, i feel pain all over, and i cant complete the full minute for a routine. i also feel a lot of pain in my arches and then i have to stop in between. does anyone else have this problem.0 -
I'm only just finding this group now but I started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution about 8 weeks ago and it's been an amazing journey. I'm down a little over 30 lbs just from doing my Jillian workouts religiously and modifying my eating habits. Thanks Jill.
Ideally I would like to lose about 100 lbs but after losing 30 feel like I might only need to lose another 50 at most to get to a healthy weight.0 -
Hello!
My name is Karri and I recently started Jillian's Body Revolution. I'm almost done with week 1, and I must say the first workout kicked my butt! By the second workout I was feeling much more able to keep up and give it my all. I'm excited to finish this week off, I just have workout two and cardio one left for this week. I have tried 3o day shred before so I assume these workout are only going to become more intense. Hope anyone thinking of starting does, and anyone going can help inspire me and hopefully I can inspire them to keep going.
I need to take my progress photos, I always seem to forget. I want to see how it's shaping me up over the next twelve weeks.
Oh I almost forgot, I am recently engaged and trying to whittle my weight down over the next year and a half two years so I can be in great shape for my wedding. I've been struggling with weight more than ever currently and am determined to get back into shape.0 -

Hey there, I'm about to start this program on monday 24/03/14. I just finished 30DS (again, last time I finished I found out I was pregnant with baby #3) and am ready to move onto something else. I'm excited to see how well this works out especially being able to mix it up a bit more with the workouts instead of 10 straight days of one. If anyone else is still doing it or starting feel free to add me I would love some support and motivation!0
