I'll be starting her 12 week BBG program the week of March 12 (BBG 1)! I'm not so scared of the hard work. I do 5-6 exercise sessions a week. But I'm a little nervous to start! I'm interested to hear people's experiences, successes, failures, etc.

Also, if anyone is thinking of buddying up or holding each other accountable, I'm available!!

Thanks!
Allie

    I did BBG last summer/fall of and on, but didn't stick to it religiously. I started again at the beginning of the year and I am currently on week 8. I've stuck to all the resistance training but have been doing my own cardio. I don't like HIIT, I prefer doing cardio on the stairmaster and incline treadmill, which end up being higher intensity than the recommended LISS. The workouts are pretty fun, I like the timed intervals and find them motivating to fit as many sets as I can in to the seven minutes! It is a bit heavy on ab work for me though. I have a rectangle body shape and when I build too much core muscle I lose all shape in my waist. When I finish the twelve weeks I'll probably switch to Strong Curves because it will fit my aesthetics more.

    Don't be nervous to start! It's fun and a good balance of tough but do-able, especially since you already have a good base level of fitness!

    I just started BBG yesterday! It was definitely a lot tougher than I was expecting, or I'm just more out of shape than I thought

    Hi Allie! BBG is so worth it! I did 6 weeks last summer, but fell through when school started. I am now about to start Week 5 of my 2nd try! I'm loving it so much. I would recommend checking out Instagram for some AWESOME BBG accounts, great inspiration and accountability as most girls are doing the same workouts on the same day, even if on different weeks. Have fun!!!

    me! I just started. On week 2 and really looking for some motivation (it's tough for me to want to workout alone). I've gained about 20 lbs in a few months so really looking to get back into it. Please add me!

    I'm getting ready to start too! I've been following some BBGers on Instagram for awhile, and I am impressed by their results and physiques - they lose plenty of fat but also build and tone muscle and generally get stronger :)

    I've started this week! It's my second attempt and I really hope I'll stick to the programme this time. I'd love to be friends with anybody who's doing BBG as well! :)

    I just started BBG this week :) My primary goal is to lose 15-20 lbs, but then to start to gain muscle! I did one resistance workout and could barely walk the next day... so it seems like an amazing plan :)

    I'm completing week 4 of BBG this week! Have been able to stick with all the resistance training thus far but slacking off with the LISS a little bit. Definitely kicks my butt but I love how it's making me feel so far so hope to take it all the way to week 12! No visible results yet. Anyone can feel free to add me

    Hi! I just joined MFP and I'm starting BBG week 1 on Monday. It'll be my 3rd try and I really hope to stick with it this time. I'm not trying to lose weight per se, but I really want to have more energy and feel better in my body. Any tips from those of you who've kept at it for a while now?

    Hi everyone! I started using MFP last week, and am starting BBG week 1 tomorrow. This will be the second time I've tried to do it, and am determined to stick with it this time as I really want to be fitter and stronger. Also trying to lose about 3st, but don't want to get obsessed with the numbers on the scales! Feel free to add me so we can motivate each other

    I just started yesterday -- I'm sticking with it through at least 1 full cycle. I tried awhile back, but realized I was waaay too far out of shape. I spent the months in between working on generally improving my fitness.
