  • Excellent! Good Job You!

    I had a quick question about how to calcualte the calories in the work outs? I am totally new to this website and I have only been able to add running to my excercise log.

    How do we know how many calories one session of the BR system counts for??

    Thanks!!

    Well I weigh everyday and of course I fluctuate all over the place in the course of a week so officially after 1 week of dieting (Tuesday is my official weekly weigh-in day) I lost 2.2 pounds but as of this morning I was down 3.2 total (9 days in). I haven't been exercising at all either.

    My ticker is counting my goal weight as 135 but realistically I'm really hoping to shed 20 pounds in these 3 months and be down around 150. I have a feeling that 145 will be my comfortable weight at age 38. Something tells me that even if I get back down to 135 or below - it will be hard to maintain that. I want to enjoy myself too!

    As far as what to count for a calorie burn from the BR. I have an app called "CalorieBurned" where you can calculate it based on your weight.

    For me at 171, doing BR for 30 minutes it says I would burn 417.39 calories. It doesn't specify by workout, so I don't know how accurate it is, but I suppose it's a good estimate. I think I am going to keep a 1400 calorie diet, which is what I'm doing now, (I hear the BR diet is 1200...not sure if I can sustain that low) and just exercise further into my deficit...so I won't worry much about exactly how much I'm burning.

    Let me know if you want me to plug your weight in to let you know what it states for you.

    Weigh-in after doing the kickstart week (not super religiously -- I have kids and needed to eat a little more than she indicates in order to stay sane).

    Down to 132.6!! Not HUGE, but still, I am noticing changes for sure.

    Started today! Changing my weigh-ins to Saturdays now (did Sundays but starting a challenge at work and it's Saturday for that). Here's my starting point:

    CW: 194
    Chest: 37
    Waist: 41.25
    Hips: 45.75
    Thighs: 27
    Forearm: 10.5
    Upperarm: 12.75
    %BF: 43 (I have a scale that tells me this because the file I use is waaay off)
    BMI: 34.36



    My goal in the long run is 140. That is the top of my weight range for BMI.

    I am not going to follow the food guide. I have a calorie goal of 1250 currently anyways and am more focused on adding fitness and finding something that keeps me engaged).

    I'm down to 2.5 lbs in 2 weeks to 162.4 two weeks into the program. I know I was at 167 shortly before starting the program, so I feel like I'm down nearly 5 lbs altogether. Ready to start the third exercise video today. Can't wait to try the new exercises. I bet I'll be sore all over again.

    I've downloaded the Jillian Michaels podcast and listen to it to and from work. she has a lot of good insights and it's pretty fun to listen to.

    GW: 155

    Welcome to the nightmare, RedRita! Just kidding! I'm loving the program. This is the end of week 3 for me and I've down to 161 from 167! My goal of 155 is well in sight by my birthday in August! My measurements didn't save in the system, so I only have record since last week. But 2 inches off my waist in one week (33 to 31)! I think I started at over 35 inches, but can't really remember.

    As far as the eating plan, I'm doing MFP with a goal of 1360 per day (I'm 5'11"). I find during the week I am usually under my net calories, but make up for it on the weekend where I'm over each day. My theory is that as long as over the course of a week I meet my net calorie goal, then I should be fine. It seems to be working for me.
