Hi everyone!

I should've started this a week ago but thought it might be great to get a bunch of people to discuss this program.

I just started Week 3/Workout 3 tonight. It was a bear but I loved it! I'm not seeing much of a difference yet, but i absolutely love the way I feel. I have (or would like to lose about 15 lbs)

Anyone want to join me on my journey?? :)

    I added you....I'm just on Week 2, but would love some friends going through the same thing! Did you do the Kickstart plan on Week 1?

    Hi there!

    Looks like it's just me and you!

    How are you liking JMBR?

    This is my 3rd week and workouts 3 and 4 are way harder! (but awesome!)
    The thing is, i am gaining weight. :/ (ugh!)

    What is your experience so far?? I'm dying to go through this with someone! glad you're here!

    PS- no i did not do the kickstart week.
    But, I've been doubling up on workouts on some days.

    I will do what is required plus a cardio disc, Like JM Fat Blast. I was getting kind of tired of Cardio 1. :)

    I just started Week 9, it's a great program so far. I need to take my measurements to see how many inches I've lost. I don't do the cardio, I'm a runner so use that as my cardio.

    I started it this week but day one double up knocked me flat oof. So I might or might not redo week one next week since I missed two days. Or I might just do Thurs-Sun this week and double up on cardio some days to kinda make up for time lost.

    There's actually a group called Jillian Michaels Body Revolution 2013 if you're looking for more people as there are weekly discussions in there. :)

    This is Week 3, Day 4 for me, and I can report that I'm just as sore, but it feels great! the next couple of workouts are much more challenging in my opinion, i'm dying to see how the next two are! Keep me posted on your progress! :)

    I started it again last night... got through Phase I the last time I did it and then started taking a 4 month class with my sister which ended last week so now I have the time (and no more excuses) and I'm recommitting myself to BR and eating healthy. I could defnatley see a difference when I did it before I was starting to see more definition in my muscles and was starting to feel stronger. I am so sore today I wish there was a way to minimize the soreness, but I guess it will get better the more I exercise.

    I've gone through the entire program twice. Now that I've finished the second go round, I mix it up. I still do front of the body, back of the body, then cardio but to keep from getting bored, I do mix up the dvds now. I love it!!!! It really does get tougher. There are moves towards the end that I thought there'd be no way I could ever do. But I actually can.

    I did do the kickstart at the beginning and yes, it sucked. A lot. But I did it. I've always had great results with the program.

    Oh, and when you get to work out 12, I have three words for you: WHEEL PUSH UPS. ;) Very tough but very possible.

    I'm sort of a Jill-aholic but even if I weren't, I'd still love this program. :)

    As of yesterday I was supposed to start WO 7&8, so the second half of phase 2....but the holiday has me all thrown off. This is the first time during this program that I've missed a workout and I feel terrible about it. I'm not feeling well today either, so again...another workout missed. I'm thinking that I'm just going to start fresh tomorrow and continue doing WO 5&6 for the rest of this week, and then move on next week.

    I do really love this program though. I've only lost 2lbs since starting it, but to be fair...I didn't want to lose weight when I started it. I started it to gain muscle tone....and let me tell you....I've done that. People keep asking me if I've lost more weight, and the answer is no...honestly....just turning my flab into fab! Totally loving this program....if it weren't for that darn holiday, I would still be right on track...but we were out of town and there was no way that I could've done the DVD yesterday. Oh well, I have to remember that life happens, and as long as I get myself back on track it'll all be all right!

    Have any of you missed a workout since starting? Or continued doing DVD's you were supposed to be done with due to things happening in your life that you couldn't control? I just really wanted to complete the program the way that it was written, and not being able to do that is really bothering me....

    I always worked through the muscle soreness, because I felt that Jillian really did do a good job of mixing up the workouts so that you weren't using the same muscles two days in a row.....I would say that no matter what you should at least try to do the workout...you'll probably surprise yourself ;-)

    Ive been doing Gillian's 30 day shred! Great fun and only a 20min workout so east to fit around your life! only 5 days in so will keep you posted but freeling a big difference!

    I also like the fact that the music isnt too loud or fast so you can concentrate on what Gillian is doing. Plus not putt of from looking at underdressed women and feeling that its more of a sexy dance! Its actually a work out!

    You can buy it on Amazon for under £5 too!!

    :):tongue:

    I'm on Week 3 day 2 and boy the workouts have gotten harder but I'm determined. I just starting losing weight this week and I hope it continues. I've also really started watching what I eat paying special attention to my sugar intake. I love her attitude it really gets me motivated.

    I am in the middle of week 3. Didn't do the kick start and only this week have decided to watch what I'm eating a little more carefully. My muscles are getting more defined and my endurance is through the roof. I did miss two days during the first two weeks but doubled up when I had more time to make up for it. And also doubled up just because I could maybe two other times. The cardio is a bit repetitive but I know what to expect and I could always go outside and run or walk if I need a change up. I sent some friend requests to some people in this thread. Would love to stay motivated with you!! It's starting to get old that I show my spouse and friends my newly rediscovered biceps....they don't seem to get it....yet.

    Tomorrow is my last day of PHASE 1... I am ending Week 4 tomorrow! I am so excited...I am also a little nervous about week 5. I have been doing a bootcamp for the past year...The first week I was thinking...this is really easy; however, as I paid more attention to her techniques and really tried to do everything like she says, it became a much better workout. I also was worried about jumping so much(knees) and my endurance has gotten so much better. I think this is a great workout...I also have been running for over a year(which would make one think I had endurance...NOT)! With just one month behind me, I can say...I think this Body Revolution is going to be the best result of anything I have done. I have not seen much of a weight loss but I can tell in my clothes, and I do feel like my body is getting more toned- oh and I bought some new jeans today- a size I have not seen in YEARS! So I LOVE JILLIAN...

    *I was planning to run on cardio days before a fitness friend reminded me that her Cardio videos are the HIIT and VERY IMPORTANT...She advised me if I wanted to run on cardio days to try to add the Cardio Video to workout days(making those days an hr workout)! I have only done that one day- bc it was raining on this past Cardio day. I plan to try to run tomorrow and get in the Cardio Video(since it is the weekend...and who doesnt need more calories to eat)!!!!!

    Id love to know if anyone else is starting PHASE 2 MONDAY?

    I was thinking of getting this for the summer...but I've down her 30 day Shred and "No More Trouble Zones". I didn't like Ripped in 30 and Yoga is coming by Netflix for me to check out soon.

    Would this be really repetitive to her other DVDs?
