    I'm planning on starting again on Monday. I did it last year around this time and it is a great way to jump start a fitness plan during the winter. I dont have photos of results but I can tell you that you will see an increase in stamina and strength very quickly. For instance, you will see improvement from week to week on how many push-ups, weight reps and so on that you can do. I saw more inches lost, clothes fitting better (butt lift), than lbs lost, but it does happen.
  • Awesome! ! I would love to lose a few lbs on my journey, but what I really want to is to look fit again. :) yesterday was cardio 1 and it is killer. I can make it all the way thru except for the unwind man part, it really hurts my feet.

    I'm on day 7 currently. yay a rest day! Still debating wanting to workout though. : )
  • Awesome! I know, once you get the momentum going a rest day messes with your head. Lol I just finished day 4!

    I'm on day 4 of Phase 3. I've seen a lot of inches lost, but have only lost 1 lb overall. But my clothes are looser, I have more muscle definition everywhere and my stamina and strength are the best they've ever been in my life. You'll love your results! Just don't give up it gets a heck of a lot harder as you go, but it is doable!!! Don't skip ahead or watch ahead unless you are ready to start those discs. Seriously had I watched Phase 3 while I was in the other phases, I probably would have gave up because it's scary. But if you do it like she has it planned out, once you get to the harder stuff you'll be amazed that you can do it! The first day of a new workout is the hardest but after that it gets easier and easier each time. I love it. I'm going to do it again after I finish except with heavier weights.

    I'm on day 5 of the first week, this is my second time doing it (with a few modifications to make it even better for my goals). I got really great results last time around last spring, so far its my favourite "celebrity" program out there. Feel free to add me, I'd love to have some friends/ motivation/ support from peeps also doing it!

    I am on day12 of phase 1 (the last day of week 2) I feel great having finished the first 2 weeks and am looking forward to the workout 3 and 4 videos. I tend to get bored easily with workout videos so switching it up every two weeks seems to be working for me.

    I am starting Phase 3 - I have definitely have seen changes. I didn't follow her diet plan. My eating sucks. I can actually do 7 pushups, I wasn't able to do any before. I am down 1 pants size. Feel free to add me on as a friend.

    I'm just sort of loosely using the videos as filler for when I want a home workout, since I got copies from a friend. Her food plan is dumb; lots of non-scientifically supported woo and silliness like broccoli being a forbidden food (what???) so I ignore all that. The workouts are okay, though she supports the nonsense of high reps with low weights so as not to get bulky. Basically, she annoys me, but the circuits are decent for when I want a 30-minute home workout with my limited available equipment.

    I'm on week two but not strictly following the meal plan. Trying to stay around 1200 calories net and coupling this with the nutrition and goal-setting tools in "Burn the fat, feed the muscle."

    I started back on my diet and fitness on Monday following a wee break for the Xmas hols, I have never done the Body Revolution so thought I would give it a try. I have only just completed day 3 and my body is hurting but it feels great to hurt as I know its a good pain! Keeping to my 1200 cals and eating back my exercise cals should have me back to my 8stone pre crimbo weight before too long. My ultimate goal is 7 1/2 stone so still a little way to go as I am 8 stone 5 at the moment ..... Looking forward to the Body Revolution results .

    I have done 10 weeks and some 'maintenance work' before New Year, planning to start again after the weekend. Tried some of her recipes from the program but not following 1200kcal diet as it's not healthy long term ;) I have set up my food and calorie goals using TDEE and BMR calculations done via calorie tracker speadsheet found on the forum here, currently eating at 1550kcal with 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%carbs - recording food once again on MFP app.

    I am :) I have done it a few times in the past and always fall of the motivation wagon. I am determined to get through the whole entire thing this time! I started on workouts 3 and 4 this time around. I am currently only on day two so far lol but I love Jillian!!

    Yes!! I did it twice! Several years ago, and I blogged the entire time. Here are my before and after pictures http://cardioandkids.blogspot.com/2012/07/done-with-jillian-michaels-body.html I had another baby since then and had gained a lot back from that. So I restarted and just finished week 2 (well I finish week 2 tomorrow). And I'm blogging through it this time too. I've lost 9 pounds in the first two weeks. I always lose a lot at first.

    How many calories do you guys eat while doing JM programs? :)
  • HaideeJo13

    I stick to 1200
  • This app calculated me at 1690 cal a day, I'm sitting at 224lbs and I put in to lose 1lb a week. Seems high though, and I don't ever reach it, I probably should just change it to 2 lbs/week, which I think would sit me at 1200/day

    I don't have the whole program, but I happened to pick up the JM Cardio Kickstart dvd from Target. I was interested since I'd never heard of it, then realized later it's the cardio 1 2 & 3 workouts from Body Revolution. I've done cardio 1 a few times and I like it so far.

    Hi Sara! Thanks for the link, I spent an hour or so reading your posts about your Body Revolution journey - congratulations on an amazing achievement! I'll keep on reading your later posts, it's nice to learn about someone's experience with different programs, and to share the ups and downs of working out and weight loss. Thank you again for sharing, I'll keep coming back to your blog for motivation!

    I'm in week 9 of the program, just did workout 10 for the first time today. I think it's one of my favorites so far! I love it that the workouts are challenging but manageable, and that they do get harder. What would have seemed impossible when I started has become something I can actually do, which makes me feel very proud of myself! I'm 5'15", my SW was 142 lb (GW 123), I was 135.5 when I started the program and I'm 132 now. I do not follow a diet plan but use MFP to track what I eat. My goal is a net 1200 cal daily (total around 1500 cal). It's a slow progress, but I prefer keeping it manageable and sustainable in the long run.

    I just started again for like the 3 time. I've never gone on the week 3 and 4 discs. The times before I was working two jobs and then one job that was very draining. This time, I have one job and off for the summer. I'm trying to get into the swing of it again. I am trying motivate myself to do it everyday just hard to get my mind set in it. I used to do zumba everyday for an hour and half and then Jillian Michaels either shred or yoga. I lost some much weight back then but that was when I was so much younger. My motivation now is to be able to look good in my wedding dress for next year. So I was hoping that you guys can remind me to keep my motivation up.

    I'm on week 2 of phase 1 and so far really enjoying it. I find the cardio workout a bit repetitive though so I substituted in a TurboFire workout the second time around and will probably continue to sub in other cardio workouts for the rest of the program. I was starting to find other workout programs weren't really doing anything for my lower body anymore but I'm happy to find that this program seems to be working those muscles again.

    I am in week 11. I've blogged my whole journey here: http://thehealthyhappymomma.webs.com I found that blogging (I get no financial benefit from my blog- it's totally for my personal benefit) really helped me stay accountable to the program. Once you get into a rhythm with the program, you will be able to stick with it. I am so impressed with how strong I am now. My weight stalls every now and then, but I'm down 12 pounds since starting.
