I had planned on starting on Monday too.

Thanks, lelasutt. I made the chicken salad today and it used the yogurt to replace mayo and it was really delish. Felt good to eat a sandwich too. I will have to definitely pick up the cookbook.

I used circuit training for the strength workouts and aerobics for the cardio. I coudn't think of something better to call it but you are pretty much going non-stop for 30 minutes on the cardio DVD.

The kick-start book has a great shopping list in the front to help you get everything you need. I managed to find all of the kick start items at my grocery store but I had to hit the health food store when I started the fat burning diet.

Ok,I ended up starting today instead of Monday.I am not doing the kick start program.I did phase 1.Week 1/Day 1.I feel great :bigsmile:

Getting ready to start my first day of the Kickstart program today!! I am not planning on following her diet right now, instead I will just continue to use MFP Can't wait... We are leaving for Disney in 40 days!! Hoping I will see some progress by then!

Whew. Workout 1... the only time I was wishing it would end soon was on the squats at the very beginning. They do them fast! I do feel great now, however, I am disappointed because I only burnt 254 calories in the 31 minutes of Workout 1. I've been doing JM workouts 5-6 days a week for the past year religiously, so maybe that's why this workout wasn't really challenging. Can't wait for the time when I yell at the TV for her to shut up

Week 1 Day 1 Complete! WoOhOo!!!!!

The "suicide" on the Cardio - I only have like 4 feet of space to run back and forth! So, I'm going to have to move into the kitchen next time. I hate cardio but I'm stickin' with it!

I started Phase 1, Week 1, Day 1 today! I like this so much more than the other DVD's of JM, although I love all of those too. She has a potty mouth in this one, as do I on a daily basis. For me, that is so motivating, ironically, lol. I know it sounds awful, but I'd rather have someone yelling and cusing than being nice and encouraging! Makes me fight harder.

I had been doing Zumba and did 25 days of the shred. I'm not following the food plan, but doing my best to stay at my goal of 1200-1300cal a day with working nights!

Look forward to seeing everyone's progress and results! :-)

Hi everyone! I have used Jillian Michael's dvds in the past, and I just received my body revolution. I started today, and I am following the kickstart your metabolism food plan. I can't decide if I will follow her meal plan in the weeks following week one or if I will just log my calories. I didn't think the day one workout was too tough, but my mom who hasn't worked out in a while thought it was (we are doing this together to motivate each other). The first day of the diet was a bit rough, especially since I don't like greek yogurt and it's on the menu the entire week =(

I joined MFP a while ago but haven't really used it. Feel free to add me and good luck to everyone!!

I started the kickstart on Monday and I have been very pleased so far. I got this to shock my body a bit. I have been doing Insanity, Turbo Fire, and Chalean Extreme. I think this is going to be a great change for me. I feel great so far! I am trying to stay close to the kickstart meal plan. Although, I travel for a living and only have a microwave and refrigerator. But, I am doing my best!
