Motivation, New Friends and Jillian Michaels

I need help, motivation and advice. Myfitnesspal friends are desperately needed because I'm a repeat offender when it comes to losing motivation and eating a whole packet of cookies. Double chocolate chip are my favourite. ;)

Anyway, I've lost just over four stone already in weight, but right now I'm struggling hugely with motivation. I bought a Fitbit Charge HR - which helps a little - but I still have another four stone to lose!

If anybody wants to type encouraging words at me in capital letters, trade advice, can act like a 'shouty' drill sergeant, or you just need a weight loss buddy then please add me. I could really do with the encouragement right now so I stick to my new exercise regime that happens to be kicking my butt. I really wish I'd never heard of Jillian Michaels! :D

    Hi @AgentNMW! I've sent you a friend request.

    We share a love for Jillian Michaels. I saw her live once, from the 2nd row of an auditorium. I had already been a HUGE fan because of The Biggest Loser. She completely changed everything for me though.

    you lost 4 stone, why are you not motivated by that, give yourself a break, keep going, don't quit, youve put so much work into you already, why reverse it all.

    It's taken me two years to lose four stone, but lately it's been creeping back on and it horrifies me. I blame Christmas and New Year! Anyway, thanks, I'll try to give myself a bit more of a break.

    Thank you, I accepted your friend request. I accidentally stumbled onto Jillian Michaels during last year's Black Friday Sale with her '30 Day Shred' DVD on offer. I'd never heard of her before that. To cut a long story short, I stuck to the exercises, it worked, I bought another DVD of hers, and now it's a love/hate relationship with her. Ha ha. I hate her while I'm exercising, but I love seeing the results when I stick to it.

    It REALLY is a love/hate with her! Ha ha! I'll take the pain for the results. If you enjoy her methods, I would recommend reading her book "Unlimited". It. Is. Awesome.

    Sending you a friend request. I have several of her DVDs at home. I am getting ready to start her Body Revolution, not going to be following the diet.

    @verifiedvalerie - Oh God, don't tell me she has a book, too. I'll end up reading it, I'll be buying all her exercise DVDs, and in the end she'll even be bossing me about and telling me jumping lunges are 'no joke' in my dreams. Seriously, they really are no joke.

    @mswanger09 - Thank you, I accepted your friend request. I have two of her DVDs so far. 'The 30 Day Shred' and 'Shred it with Weights'. Both have pretty much killed me today. Working with kettlebells it a bit more tough, though. Oh, and I still can't do a proper push-up!
