Great job you all! cant wait to see how you all progressed.0 -

Hi Guys,
Hope you are all well. We've had a long holiday weekend in the UK but I still managed to get my workout done. I know its only been a week but the moves are certainly not as diffucult which is a good thing. I've lost 3lb this week which is good but I really need to measure myself as well. Well done everyone and its so great to know other people are going through the same thing!0 -
Day ONE, Phase ONE, Workout ONE complete!! My three kids did the entire thing with me. It was GREAT! Feeling good about day one. Taking it one day at a time. WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Great work snykiel! Even better that your kids did it with you. My 14 year old (lanky, eats me out of house and home) just sits there on the couch with the laptop while i'm doing it.0 -
Trying to stay at 1200 calories a day is rough for me! Last night I was so hungry. I did my 2nd workout of the day (kickstart week) and it wasn't so bad. I'm doing elliptical instead of Cardio 1 because I get really bored with Cardio 1 on normal days lol.
Workout 2 today was a great way to start my morning. Then I rode my bike to work (not too far) and my legs are jello!0 -
Day 2 done! Did not want to do it but got it done! The workouts are definitly easier than 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 but I know what is coming. I lost my running partner this week so I will give the cardio DVD a try.
I was really bad with enough water before and it seems like I am drinking and peeing all day now. I am doing well with keeping my calories in check. It is so hard not to have anything when getting the kids their snack but I am proud to say I have done well. I do let myself have a little something sweet at night. I feel like if I completely cut sweets out I will probably not make it through. I have a horrible sweet tooth but hopefully I will slowly wean it out.
I am looking at this program as 3 -4 week programs. For some reason it makes it more acheivable in my head :O).
Is everyone eating back their calories? Did everyone do before pics?0 -
Trying to stay at 1200 calories a day is rough for me! Last night I was so hungry.
in my first week i eat 1200 cal and very little from exercise cal back. So this week I am experimenting and eating my TDEE-20% and no exercise cal. I think i already see the difference because in the first week i was very exhausted and as soon as i lay in bed i fell asleep. will see how this week works...
small NVS: I bought pants last year about this time, but I gain weight/fat and I couldnt zip them without pulling my stomach in. Today I put them on and I have room.. Yay!!! they are now very comfortable and there is room.. so happy about it..

how is everyone doing?
i changed cardio, so i went to gym. my boyfriend went to play table tennis with a friend so i went with them, just different floor. most of the time i was on bike, because all other things were occupied. i really wanted to try that fancy new elliptical..
also, i went to ask for swimming, so instead of Saturdays cardio with swimming..0 -
Hi guys! How you all doing?
Just finished workout 1 for the second time. It was fractionally easier. Question for those farther along---if, at the end of the first 2 weeks I am not happy with my mastery of the moves, should I advance to discs 3 and 4, or stay on 1 and 2? Any advice appreciated.
Oh, and Running Man is a b****. Already dreading the cardio this evening 0 -

The Running Man is the worst! Way worse than the suicides.
I have not done this program before but with her other DVDs I always just moved on. There are some moves I always have issues with, especially things like push ups. You could just try 3 and 4 and go back to 1 and 2 at the end of the week but I personally always just move on in her programs.0 -

Thanks Kris! I did that as well with RI30 and it turned out (sorta) ok. 0 -

i did 30DS too few months ago, before i fell of wagon. but this time i decided to go through with BR as it is planned and then when i finish it i think i will redo it with harder moves. thats my plan.
So today as i was working out, i figure out that these are the last 2 days of workouts 1 and 2. yay for me! i will take photos and do measurements on sunday. i felt so happy and scared how next workouts will be..0 -

Looks like we're on the same schedule.
Running man and suicides are my shortcomings. My leg muscles are screaming at me right now, especially since I rode my bike home from work. Back to School night for my 9th grader in a few then I'll come home and hit the gym for my second cardio of the day. I don't do Cardio 1 for my second workout. It would bore me to tears since I've already done a round of JMBR. I'll do intervals on the elliptical for 30 minutes instead.
I think you should move on to workouts 3 & 4 so that you keep momentum. You'll get stronger along the way.0 -

I did -20% TDEE last time around and it worked well. I'm trying to "shock my system" with the kickstart plan 1200 cals this week.0 -

Haha, I thought I was doing so much better last night until I noticed I was doing the move more like cross country skiing. Fail. How's cardio 2? Maybe I can swap that out instead. 2nd round, huh? So the first round is survivable?;)
I have a 10th grader. She won't even let me GO to back to school night.0 -
how is everyone doing?
Last night I felt little bit discouraged, didnt have any reason to, but I managed to push myself to do the exercise. It was latter than usual time, around midnight. but as soon i I turn on the video and started exercising I felt so much better. I cant wait for the today's exercise, and week 1 and 2 are done. yay!0 -
So happy not to see Jillian today! Week one done and down 1.8 lbs. Probably could have made it to two lbs even but went out to eat twice this weekend and went over one day on my calories.
This week was fairly easy since there were no combo moves but I know what is coming so I am just going to try this next week.
Hope everyone had a good week! Back at it tomorrow!0 -
new week, new challenges... this week i started week 3, and it kicked my butt... i managed to do it all, but my arms are burning..
i measured myself yesterday, lost around 10 cm in total, mostly around my hips and belly. my thighs didnt change but i feel that they are stronger. i didnt weight myself ill do it after i finish phase 1.
how is everyone else doing?0 -
Day1 of week 2, I feel like I've accomplished something just by being consistent. Now I really need to work on cleaning up my eating.
I really, really hate cardio 1. I was considering swapping in 30 day shred on cardio days. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Do you think it would be detrimental to the BR lifting schedule? Thanks.0 -

I am by no means an expert but I would probably switch it for another cardio DVD. You do not get much cardio during the other workouts. I plan on running on cardio days mostly. That cardio DVD seems to be a common complaint in the reviews of the program. It seems like many people opt for something else.0 -
Thanks! Maybe I'll dust off my Turbo Jam. At least the music's pretty good.0

I started week 3 yesterday and I really like workout 3.0

I done Turbo Jam instead of the cardio workout too.0 -
I did it this morning! Glad to hear you liked workout 3. I'm really ready to be done with 1 and 2. Once more each...0
