Hi everyone, My name is Bridget and I will be turning 41 on Feb 3rd. I am a mother and grandmother (all boys) and a Culinary student. I will be graduating this May. I have always been the chubby one and on this weight loss journey to lose approx. 100lb. I'm currently weighing 227lbs but I keep yoyoing between 227 and 225. How frustrating!! I'm looking forward to this challenge.

Hello all I am a Terry and I am trying to give myself a gift of a 50 pound weight loss for my birthday. I am excited about this

How far away is your birthday?

Hi everyone My name's Maggie, I am 29 and going to be 30 this year. Before I turn 30 I want to be at my goal weight of 145-150lbs. In the summer I was only 20lbs away from my goal, but in the past couple months I've gained back about 15lbs. In total I have still lost well over 40lbs, but I feel like I'm starting over again because of the recent gain.

Hi everyone :bigsmile:

I'm Denise, i'm mum to three kids, a full time student and live in Scotland with my husband to be and our brood.

I'm new to exercise, MFP but not to trying to lose weght lol. I've been overweight for 12 years now. varying between 15stone (210lbs) up to what I am now, 18st 7 (259lbs). I suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which doesn't help, but I really need to lose this weight once and for all. I've had enough. I'm getting married next year and want to be a slim bride :bigsmile:

Just read this review on Amazon (you can buy the DVD for a fiver in the UK)

But I mean it in a good way! This is, without any shadow of a doubt, the most intensive workout DVD I've ever tried (and I have a good few, including Davina, Nell McAndrew, The Firm etc etc...) Jillian and her two helpers (one advanced, one 'normal') take you through three 20 minute workouts - Levels 1, 2 and 3. Each workout is made up of three circuits which comprise of 3 minutes of weights, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of ab work.

Like me, you may well be thinking this sounds reasonable, quick and easy. It isn't! Even Level 1 is an intensive workout - lots of jumping jacks, squats, bum kicks etc., and Jillian doesn't let up for a second, constantly keeping you moving. I found I had to use lighter weights than I would for a Davina workout; the exercises are so quick and intense that I couldn't keep up with my usual ones. The exercises have a real 'military' feel and change quickly, and you are given plenty of instruction and encouragement. The music isn't great, but then you probably won't have the energy to think much about it while you're doing this workout!

Levels 2 and 3 contain harder exercises (such as burpees, mountain climbs, jumping jacks from the plank position). I've got a passable fitness level, but on finishing Level 2 I was in a collapsed screaming heap on the floor, thoroughly worked out! Jillian screams at some point in Level 2 "I want you to feel like you're gonna DIE!" - and if you're anything like me, you will! On the plus side, if you can do Level 2, I don't think you'll find Level 3 too much of a difference in intensity, unless you have weak abs as this section pushes them to the limit.

This is a fantastic workout to try if you're looking to push yourself hard, but it is NOT for the faint hearted. Jillian and her helpers are very toned, but also quite bulky - to avoid this it might be a good idea to alternate this DVD with some less intense workouts (as I intend to do!) But the fact remains - there is absolutely no doubt that if you did this DVD every day, even doing just one of the three levels per day, you would lose weight and get results very quickly.

I'm Tara and I live in Texas. I have 3 kids: 16, 13, and 19 months. Though I previously lost 120 lbs with diet and exercise, having a baby at 40 kicked my *kitten* and it's taking forever to get rid of the 25 lbs I'm hanging on to. I want to finally rid myself of it all by the time swimsuit season arrives....and maintain!
