So I've officially started phase 1. Honestly didn't think that workout 1 was too bad but Im thinking I should be happy for that bc I know it'll get hard later on. I am using 5 lb weights which is a bit difficult. Im thinking of getting 2 or 3 lb weights for some of the "advanced" moves like Omar (Is that his name???).

Anyway, anyone else wanna join me?, no matter where you are in Phase 1. Any graduates that want to offer insight? Where is everyone in this phase?

    I completed Body Revolution last week, all 90 days of it. Started round 2 on Monday. It is awesome to re do the workouts and be able to do all of the advanced moves with heavier weights. This is a great program and gives great results. Keep kicking *kitten* everyone :happy:

    yep - me too... started my 2nd round of JMBR on Monday (I was off of it for a little over 2 months). It is almost as exciting as the first time around. I bumped up my weights and can do the advanced moves this time. I love the amount of burn (and sweat) you get from just a 1/2 hour.

    Keep it up - you will be glad you did!

    I'm almost halfway through Phase One, it's tough going, but seeing a difference already! I don't think I have ever felt so strong.

    Hi!

    I just started on Monday - so this is day 4 for me. I like it so far, but I'm running instead of doing the cardio dvd for right now. I was actually surprised at how sore I was yesterday, 30 minutes goes by so fast I didn't think I'd be hobbling around so much.

    Im a little disappointed with my results so far. I am on my 4th week, but really week 3. I decided to do an extra week of Workouts 1 and 2 bc I thought I could have given it more effort and cleaned up my eating a bit. Well since then I have been doing better with eating/tracking and I am only down 1 lb. I am only measuring my waist and hips and down less than an inch there as well! My clothes do not feel better either. Is this sometimes expected in the first month?? When will I start seeing results? Feeling a little down, but will keep pushing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    For me but I'm older, it was not enough cardio to lose weight, I had to do other things almost daily and I lost weight. That might not be the purpose of it, but it was a good toning DVD and you do burn, but I need something more heart pumping, My HRM would record numbers always under 200. Her cardio was okay but I enjoyed other DVD's more and you have to want to do it most of the time for it to work.

    I lost more doing her Biggest Loser Last Chance workout alone, she does strength and cardio and it's harder if you push yourself than the earlier Phase One workouts.

    She does push you though and you use different muscles changing the exercises so often, but for some, they need a little more "umph" for the cardio.

    I completely agree!! I had found the first two weeks a tad on the easy side, so I had doubled up workouts by doing the cardio immediately after the strength DVDs. I was a little frustrated that I was going to have to keep doing hour long workouts daily...until bumping up to w/o 3 yesterday. I was sweating bullets! This is what I was looking for! I'm glad to be able to just do the 30 minutes now, and really feel like I'm getting a good burn :)

    It's probably different for everyone and I'm thinking your eating habits will play a huge part in how good, and how quick, you'll start seeing results.
    I'm finishing week 3 of phase 1 tomorrow and as far as results are concerned, I think I started to see some slight changes (belly and thighs) this week. But I'll be in a better position to confirm the changes once I take my post-phase 1 photos next weekend and compare them to my before pictures. Have you been taking pics? Sometimes it's hard to see the gradual changes in the mirror but pictures will show you different. I know it helped me see big differences when I did the 30day shred. I didn't think I looked different but once I took pictures, the changes were pretty significant. As for clothes, keep in mind that sometimes it can take up to 10-15lbs before you drop a size, but that is also unique to every individual. I'm not sure how many inches equal a dress size, but don't give up. It'll pay off in the long time. It's still pretty early in the program.
    I'm down a little over 4lbs over the last 3 weeks but I have been doing 30mins-2hrs of additional cardio almost everyday. I aim to workout for at least an hour total per day, but most days I log 1.5hrs of exercise.

    I am on my last week of phase 1 and have lost 8 lbs so far, with the rest of this week still to go. I've gone from a size 18 to a size 16 jeans and 14 dress. I am now wearing some size large tops rather than XL or 1X. I've really cleaned up my diet and trying to add a lot of protein. I am eating 1400 calories instead of 1200. I just couldn't function on 1200. I am doing the Couch 2 5K also, so I needed more calories.
