Anyone else doing this dvd?
A while ago, i posted about being stuck in a weight loss plateau. I was stuck at 10 stone 12lb (152lb), and nothing i could do would shift me from that weight, until i decided to try doing a workout dvd at home, having previously tried Jillian Micheal's 30 day shread, i decided to give that ago again. So i bought the dvd. The dvd came with a bonus disk... Banish fat, boost metabolism so i thought id give it ago. It was hard but i finished it first time and LOVED IT. It was a really intense workout. I did it 3 times that week and lost 2lbs...Finally breaking out of my plateau! Fast forward just over a month later and i am now 10 stone 6lb and so close to my target weight of 10 stone.
However when my fitbit logs the exercise, it says ive burned 280 calories doing it. Doesnt seem like much but its better than doing nothing. Does anyone else do this dvd? If so how many times a week and are you seeing results?

    I did it this week for the first time in ages and loved it! I do the circuits in this order:7, 6, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2. That way, I get more use out of the easier kicking ones (1 and 5) because I am warmed up and can go really deep/high. I also flip the bird at Jillian in circuit 2 when she laughs and says, "We're not even close to being half way through this"- because I am, mofo! :D

    I have come down with bronchitis now, but I aim to do BFBM pretty regularly again when I'm better. I love Insanity Max 30 but it's too intense for every day on top of the other stuff I like to do.

    I don't have concrete results, but BFBM did wondrous things for my thighs a couple of years back and I hope it will again.

    Nice to hear some other love for this DVD! :)

    It annoys me SO much when Jillian says that too.. i take it circuit by circuit and when she says that it just reminds me that ive another 5 circuits to do and when your finally at the finish line, (circuit 7) doing your final set of knee crunches and she pretends to start them but doesnt... it gets me everytime.
