    I just bought 3 of her DVD's (30 day shred, 6 week 6 pack, Banish fat boost metabolism) because I've been reading on here how great they are!! I'm kind of scared to start because I've also read how difficult they are :ohwell:

    I would love to join for January but I am doing another challenge. If you are doing a February JM Challenge I would love to join. I'll just substitue my Zumba for Jillian :laugh: Would prefer to start fresh on a new month though.

    Keep up your hard work. You're all doing amazing.
    :heart:

    Level 1 and 2 of shred done yesterday. Going to get another good workout done this evening once little one in bed, then prepare a nice healthy casserole for tomorrow. All the junk I've been stress eatting this week can't be doing me much good.

    Did BFBM on Thursday and today. The best thing about being in the challenge is it gets me to keep working out and I find I have built somewhat of a tolerance to Jillian's TOUGH workouts. My endurance has definitely improved and the shopping bags aren't as heavy anymore :happy: This is amazing, 2 weeks and I feel the difference already.

    !!! Cheering everyone on !!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    I haven't done her Cardio Kickbox video. Maybe I can rent from the library and see if it is any good.

    Woo Hoo, you can do it !!!

    Oh, I Overslept today! So sore and feel I could use the rest day but hate to miss a day on this challenge. Have done a JM video every weekday since Jan 3! Well maybe I can workout when I het home from work. (that never happens, that why I workout at 5am, otherwise it doesn't happen... then again we NEVER oversleep either, can't remember the last time!) Have great day everyone!

    CRLflowers Sorry for deserting you! Well done for continuing to log without any support or encouragement.
    I feel bad for starting this challenge and not posting much for the last couple of weeks, I can only appologise. I've had a pretty horrible January, and I've failed to keep up with you all. I did however promise to post start and end stats.

    These are the original taken on 28/12/10

    Weight 156.28lbs (11st.2.8lbs)
    body fat (by my scale) 25.0 %
    Water 54 %
    muscle mass 37.7%

    measurements in inches:
    under bust 32
    waist 30
    Tummy 34.75
    Hips 37.5
    Arm L 12 R12.5
    Thigh L 23 R23.5

    Today


    Weight 156.22lbs (11st.2.2lbs) only 0.6 of a lb lost :(
    body fat (by my scale) 24.8.0 % - 0.2% loss
    Water 54.1
    muscle mass 37.8% - 0.1% gain

    measurements in inches:
    under bust 32.75 - muscle gain????
    waist 29.5 - Yay 0.5 of an inch less!
    Tummy 34.5 - 0.25 less
    Hips 36 - 1.5inches less WOOHOO!
    Arm L 11.5 R12.5 - 0.5 inch loss
    Thigh L 22.5 R23 - 1 inch loss!

    Quite frankly I've eaten badly because of stress and not exercised as much as I'd wanted to, so I'm absolutely delighted with a combined loss of 3 inches! And my back is looking a lot leaner. I bought a top before christmas that looked nice from the front, but after trying it on at home I saw that I had buldges in the back that wern't attractive, so I never wore it. I tried it on yesterday and those lumps and bumps have now gone! Heres hoping that in Febuary I'll drop a couple of lbs too.
