I've decided to under take the Jillian BFBM video for May 1st. It may kill me but I think it's the push I need but I figured I would see if anyone else wanted to tackle Jillian in May together? Weekly weigh ins, starting weight, goal weight, and an additional fitness goal as well as daily motivation? Who's in?

I'm in!!!!! What the heck. I'm 1/3 of the way into 30 Day Shred with Jillian so why not throw in another Jillian since my schedule lightens up in May!! I have about 4-5 dvds of hers but ahve only used the 30 DS one. I'm in for taking on another one come May 1!!! :happy:0

I have Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, I love the workout! It is really hard, but I feel so accomplished when I'm done.0

Just BFBM? I've got a bunch of her videos that I rotate through (right now I'm loving her cardio kickbox)(er, 'loving', lol), so I'd be up for this.
PS: you only think it will kill you. By the last circuit you will be fairly convinced you are going to die, but you won't. lol.0 -
I am definitely up for this one so count me in!0

Ok, I'm in! This is just the commitment I need. lol I am currently doing level 3 of 30DS, so by May 1, I should be ready for the new challenge.

I would but just started the 30 day shred and will only bne half way through it on may 1st. I will think about this one next or that kickboxing one just mentioned! :bigsmile:0

I'm on day 19 of my third round of 30DS - sounds like the majority of us have or are doing the Shred. I thought it would be a good stepping off stone for BFBM.
I was only planning on BFBM but how do people feel about 5 days of BFBM and one day of Shred and one day off a week?
If it sounds good to everyone add me as a friend if you'd like. It's easier for me to check in with my profile than msg board every day but...HERE we go!
Every one good with putting in their Stats on April 30?0 -
I would like to add my $0.02 here, since I've used BFBM once. I think it's great that all of you have signed up for this, since it's a LONG workout! Having said that, I think it's a very intense workout and doing it everyday for an hour might get tiring AND boring! I don't know about you guys, but I get bored doing the same time over and over again. You might want to add something else, like NMTZ (which is also an hour). I am on Day 18 of 30DS. I did 2 extra days of NMTZ and BFBM in the middle and loved it! I am planning on doing Ripped in 30 starting May 2nd, and will also use NMTZ and BFBM when I get bored. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you wanna talk more Jillian! I think I am addicted to her. 0

I'm in! I remember I tried to do BFBM sometime last year and I could only make it through the 4th circuit! I will do it 3x/week and run 3x/week.. I might also pick up her 6 week six pack to throw in there for a little bit. I think doing it with a group of people would be awesome and motivating for SURE! 0

I am definately in!0

6 more days until BFBM! Who's ready? Who's scared? Who's excited?
I'm scared and excited because I'm stuck looking at a scale that won't budge and needing this shake up but also scared because I don't know if I can do it and I don't know if I can fit in close to an hour of exercise with my daugther's current nap schedule. I'm going to stay positive though and if I can't do it during nap than I guess I'm doing it before bed since I'm finding it impossible to wake up before she does
Everyone doing their last bit of work before we put our weight and measurements out there? I'm excited to do this with everyone! Happy Easter!0 -
Count me in! I've just ordered it now. I was a big fan of 30DS and got fantastic results.0
-
I hate to back out, but I think I'm going to be pursuing a different routine--New Rules of Lifting for Women combined with alternating days of HIIT. I wish all of you luck in your BFBM endeavors! 0

Can't wait!0

I started Jillian's Banish Fat. I'm only on day 2. I am only doing the first 25 minutes of the dvd because 1. its so intense and second, its long compared to 20 minutes Jillian spoiled me with on the 30 day shred.. However, for 25 minutes of this DVD I'm drenched in sweat more so than on a circuit of the 30 day shred. My goat is to do 5 days of Banish Fat and mix it up with 30 day ripped for the rest of the month. Until then, I hope on waking up early enough to do the remainder of the DVD to start my day.
Jillian is amazing and if it weren't for the results on my 30 day shred I would have given up on day 1 of this DVD.
Please share your result with this dvd.. I am intrigued to know if anyone else has cut down on time and seen results with Banish Fat.0 -
Count me in.0

I've actually just started it today before seeing this thread. I finished 30 Day Shred last week and wanted to try something harder - OMG it's definitely harder!! My OH said he's never seen my face so purple before! I literally could not move for 10 minutes after I finished lol. I'm gonna do it every other day though and alternate with brisk walking or C25K.0

I agree that it'll probably get boring because it's so long. I have 7 or 8 JM dvd's that I try to rotate through. Have you looked at the 30 Day Slim Down? It combines BFBM, No More Trouble Zones and the 30 Day Shred. You can find threads here or google it and it gives you the schedule.0
-
I also just started Couch to 5k, so I will probably not do BFBM on the days I have to run. I am also contemplating buying Jillian's No More Trouble Zones as well to add to the mix because I have heard that BFBM is mostly cardio whereas NMTZ adds more strength training to the mix?0

Already May begins tomorrow so let's kick this off! I know that everyone has posted that they're be doing their own variations of BFBM so if it's something that works for you - giv'er. I'll be sticking with BFBM, adding in a Shred here and there and daily walks/runs.
Here our my stats for this journey:
Starting Weight: 128lbs
Goal Weight: 120lbs
Measurements: Chest: 33.5 inches
Rib cage: 28
Waist 28
Hips 36
Thighs 20.5
I attempted BFBM in lue of Shred today and made it through 40 minutes of the video which considering how much I've been slacking I was really impressed with. I hope to get to bed early tonight and wake up early tomorrow to get the video in before my baby wakes up and I hope that all of you manage to get in Day 1 of BFBM too!0 -
I'm doing BFBM on day 1, walk/run on day 2 and NMTZ on day 3, then rinse and repeat.
Starting weight: 199
Goal weight: 150 (for now anyway)
Dress size: 18 UK (I think that's 16 US?)
Don't have a tape measure so I'm going by dress size instead.
I've already done a round so tomorrow I'll do start again and do BFBM.0 -
I have been doing her 30 day shred
Goals for May
Starting weight 273
Goal /Weight for may 263
Going for 10 pounds this month wish me luck ")0 -
Day 2 of BFBM - I can definitely feel the metabolism boost after doing this video. But I'm having a hard time doing the full video at one sitting or standing or jumping or squatting if you will I was up early this morning to try and do BFBM before my daughter woke up and I only managed to get in 18 minutes - a solid 18 minutes but I'll have to complete the rest of the video during nap time. I think that's going to be the tricky thing about this video: managing to do the whole video start to finish as I wish I could for the full out calorie and metabolism blast.
How is everyone doing with their daily routine to fit in the video?0 -
Second round of BFBM today despite still being sore from NMTZ on Saturday. I think Jillian's right, the harder it is for you in the beginning, the faster your body adjusts because BFBM was easier this time. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely hard as hell, but I was at least able to get up off the floor afterwards lol!0
-
I did the workout but not all of it. Finished 4 circuits.0
-
NMTZ today. It was also not as difficult this time (managed to do all the surrenders!) but by no means easy. Started to feel nauseous towards the end but powered through it and finished, yay!0
-
I'm also doing a combo of JM DVDs!
Banish fat mon & wed
Trouble zones tue & thur
6pack fri & sun
Sat...sweet fa!
I'm definitely feeling the benefit, my arms are getting toned and it's doing great things for my thighs and butt. It's a killer to get all of the workouts in though- and feel a bit dead afterwards!
I'm enjoying mixing them up like this- I don't know how long I'll keep doing it though, maybe until the side planks, surrenders and push ups seem easy! Lolololololol LMAO!!0 -
BFBM today! Did the normal moves for everything except the walking planks but am building up to that.0

Hey if its ok I would like to join this challenge, I ordered BFBM at the end of april and just got it yesterday BUT on may 1st I started alternating every other day of NMTZ and the next day of 30ds and 30 min elliptical. Now that I have my video im not sure if i should alternate between the three or just the 2 longer videos, anyone have any suggestions?
Here our my stats for this journey:
Starting Weight: 131.2lbs (as of this morning)
Goal Weight: 125lbs
Measurements: Chest: 34.5inches
Waist 29
Hips 39
Thighs 220
