    I'm a little late, but I got mine in the mail yesterday!( yes Amazon delivered on Sunday! CRAZY!) Anyway I will be starting today. I have done 30 day shred and loved it. I'm in between semesters and hoping to get a routine down before I go back. If any one would like to add me as a friend, please do! And if anyone has some advice on this program, please share!!!
    Thanks!
    Best of luck to everyone!!

    Every Jan I start it, but never make it past week three for various "excuses" I keep telling myself. I know I DO feel so much better doing it - along with 30 min cardio on the treadmill! I know workouts 1 & 2 so well I could almost quote them!

    Hopefully this year will be different as I've written down tiny goals to get to my overall weight loss goal. Also I know logging my food keeps me on track and I lost sight of that.

    I started workout 1 today and it kicked my butt. I am so out of shape. I am determined to complete this program!

    Veronica-I'm so happy to be back on a normal schedule lol. These school breaks last forever!! Also, the only time I have to do my workouts is late at night after my son has gone to bed. Otherwise if be planking with a 25 lb toddler on my back! Way to best out that temptation of not pushing Play!

    Amanda-I'm going to add you! Good luck!!

    T_marina-You sound exactly like me lmao! I pretty much can talk myself throught Weeks 1 and 2, no Jillian needed. The part where we do the front leg extensions and she starts talking about picturing your muscles shredding, every single time I think to myself, "there's no point imagining it, I can FEEL it!"

    Blonde-this program never fails to let me know how bad I am lol. I feel you pain!

    Off to do day 2! A little late in the day but at least I'm getting it done!

    Welcome amanda, tmarina and blonde!

    noahsmom - Aw, I remember when my kids were little - it was near impossible trying to get stuff done when they were awake! Like you, I think I'm going to try to continue working out at the same time each day. It's just easier knowing that I have a set time to do that. I'm also trying to get it in before the younger kids wake up for school. My high schooler is up but he can take care of getting himself ready, thank goodness.

    I just finished Day 18 - Phase 1, Week 3, Workout 3. Only two more workouts to go for this week!

    We can do this!!

    (What does it mean to add a friend? Do they see my food journal? Does that mean they would know I ate a handful of mini marshmallows yesterday and some skinny cow chocolate? Yes, I'm weak when it comes to sugary food. Halloween is a horrible time for me :))

    We ended up traveling last week and I didn't get to start. Did Day 1 Week 1 yesterday and it felt so good. But lord it hurts this morning. The girls in my office also decided to do a biggest loser style challenge because one is in a wedding, one is getting married, and I'm trying to get preggers, so off we go! We are also doing walking DVD's on our breaks. I actually can't wait to workout tonight.

    Lol Veronica, I won't judge! Savory food is what gets me. There are someottle smokey sausages sitting in my fridge begging me to eat them!! You can also make your diary private if you want.

    I'm trying to behave and had eggs and a protein shake for breakfast the last 2 days. And I'm so sore it takes a few minutes to be able to walk upright after I've been sitting for a while lol. But it's worth it!

    How awesome yall are doing a challenge like that! Having someone to compete with always gives an extra push. I wish I had a group I could compete with!

    noahsmom - I love those lil smokie sausages - yum! I was so sore that first week of this program and could barely move. But now while I'm still sore, it's not as bad at all. I also have protein shakes in the morning - it's such an easy breakfast which is nice because our mornings are crazy around here.

    edryer - Yeah!! That's awesome to have a support group at your work. It definitely helps to have people around you who have the same goals.

    amanda - Way to go!! 30ds kicked my butt but I like the variety in this program too. You can't go wrong with any of JM's programs.

    I just finished Day 19/90 - which is Phase 1, workout 4. Only one more workout left for this week. I'm having to do the workouts on mute since I'm up early before most in my house are awake. I'm not sure if I miss JM yelling at me :)

    It is really nice to have an office that works together and they are being supportive and not catty. Makes it more fun and less anxiety filled.

    Hello and congrats to everyone that has decided to tackle Body Revolution!

    I am starting week two today. I started on Sunday and I've done everyday alternating workouts 1 &2 with an hour of walking on treadmill after. Last night was a rest night and back at it today. I've lost 2 lbs this week and a few inches since my last measurements Dec 20

    I did this program a couple of years ago and was in the best shape in s long time. I lost a ton of inches but scale didn't always move as fast as I wanted.

    I am looking forward to this round and what results it will bring. My eating has cleaned up a lot which makes a huge difference for me.

    Have a great day ladies!

    I am starting Jillian Michaels Body Revolution on Monday. I tried it once before UT didn't make it past the second week due to getting busy. Hope to finish this time. All help would be great.

    @ 15veronica - great job!

    Thanks! Looks like you're almost done with Week 1 - way to go!

    dani - Welcome! It's great to hear that this program does work.

    Sally - Welcome! I also started this program before but didn't finish but I feel optimistic this time!

    I just started Week 4 (Day 22/90). I'm so excited that I'll finish one month of this at the end of this week :)

    Just pushed through W/O 2 week two. Got hit with a head cold yesterday but don't want to fall into the excuse trap... I feel better now.

    Thanks Veronica - did you get good results from the first month?

    I just got the "premium" version last night I'm hoping it will help with the food tracking. My biggest struggle. I know I can easily eat my way out of my workout so tracking, measuring and hitting macros is important for me this time round.

    Is everyone tracking the body measurements? That was the biggest change for me last time. I think I only lost 10lbs but lots of inches. Then again I was changing up my calories to see what worked. I started at 1200 but then read about TDEE and upped to 1500/1600. I'm at 1500 now and tracking to see if I need to adjust.

    Have a great Saturday ladies!!!

    Thanks Sally!

    Hmrey - Yeah for finishing Week 1! That's awesome :)

    Dani - I did the same thing - had a cold during the first part of the month and knew if I stopped completely, I may not restart my workouts so I took one day off and then started back up again. Way to go!

    I'll take my official measurements at the end of Week 4 - which will be this Friday. I'm not expecting a huge change. When I've done programs like this in the past, my body doesn't start showing progress until well into the second month. I did notice my ab area shrinking almost immediately and I attribute that to mainly eating better and being less bloated.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Oh and I had a food epiphany this morning as I entered yesterday's food into my journal. We were at an all day tournament for one of my kids and we usually end up snacking all day at these events. So I tried to make better choices this time. I ate lots of veggies, smaller portions of the "treats", salad with our dinner. Nope. Ended up eating 1.5 times as many calories as my daily goal.

    No wonder I gained weight like I did since last summer (when I last finished a workout program). If that was "restraining" myself and I still went over like that, what the heck was I taking in each day in calories before I started tracking my food?!

    The good part is that if I hadn't made those better choices, the calories would've been even higher. Silver lining, right?:)

    How is everyone doing? My kids had a 2 hr delay yesterday due to snow/ice and it threw off my morning routine. It was definitely more difficult to fit in my workout!

    I just did Phase 1, Workout 3 for the LAST time!! That felt good :)
