I just received my Body Revolution and I'm going to start the "Kickstart" on Monday also!! Hopefully I can stick to!!

Charlene, I'm doing my workouts back to back. I'm not doing cardio 1 as my 2nd workout but I will be doing some type of 2nd workout after the BR workouts. For week 1 and 2, I'm doing Turbo Fire 30 2x a week and Physique 57 Express 30 once a week and then a stretch workout on Sunday. I like that Jillian's workout is 30 mins, that way I know I will get her dvd done with, but if I am able, I will do both my workouts together because if I wait, the day gets in the way and by the time evening comes, I just want to go to bed or vegg. :P

Myeatman-The only breakfast I liked was the canadian bacon with poached eggs, avocado and tomatoes. I ate that every day and am still using it now in the next phase. It kept me full until lunch time. I couldn't stomach the yogurt without any sweeteners but after the kickstart week you can add a little honey to the yogurt. Good luck!

I couldn't find the nitrate free canadian bacon. I either use regular canadian bacon or reduced sodium bacon and trim off the extra fat. Yeah, the yogurt is nasty! It's good though to replace mayonaise. I made the chicken salad in the regular diet and it was really good.

I just completed the 7-day Kickstart yesterday. I had fantastic results. Today is Day 8 for me. I have a blog that you can follow if you would like. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/phatsoslim Add me as a friend too if you want.

I think it's funny that everyone hates the yogurt. I eat plain greek yogurt with cinnamon and cinnamon almonds for breakfast almost every day. I love it!! My husband just got called into work so I think I'm gonna do the kickstart and get my pm workout in right now! I'm only following the meal plan by restricting my cals to 1000 net.

I love Greek Yogurt as well! And I have been using Truvia to sweeten it slightly. Jillian approves of it over artificial sweeteners so I thought I'd give it a try. I'll probably stick to that breakfast for the next 5 days too since it's easier for me to pack and bring to work.

I'm tweaking some of the meals as well since I'm not a great cook and keep ruining the recipes, haha. Tilapia salad today for lunch!

Also, I'm down 2 pounds from yesterday but that may just be water weight.

Starting the kickstart tomorrow; can't wait to see the results at the end of the week.

Started Today! I must say that I enjoyed it. I feel Great Today!
My starting weight 315.6.
I kinda cheated, with the fact that I didn't used any dumbbells. I wanted to start of using my natural body weight..

Good Luck to everyone!

I started today and have already done workout 1. I will be doing the cardio workout after lunch as I wanted to give myself a couple of hours to rest so that I could give the cardio workout everything I have. I am not following the diet because I am on a restricted doctor diet with 1200 calories, but since my doc told me not to eat my exercise calories, I think I will be fine.

I took before pictures today along with weight and I will measure after the cardio workout. I can't wait to see the 30, 60 and 90 day results!

I only used 3lb weights today, but I think I will up that to 5lb weights next time I do workout 1. Some of these exercises were simple for me and some were still pretty tough.

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks Charlene!

Hey guys, How are you guys making out with the Food? I love all of the Lunches and Dinners and 1 breakfast. The snacks are horrible for me. But I am trying.

Also, I must say that I have energy throughout the day. I had walk for 20mins in a fast paste without catching my breathe.

I think if someone can give you an overview of the diet (I believe from what I read it's 1200 calories each day during the Kickstart) and you're able to get your program on Monday and workout Monday night, you should be good.

I ordered my program on 2/28 and it shipped today. I'm supposed to get next Thursday...I'm hoping I get it before!

I tried the kickstart but had such a hard time with the food options. I can't eat eggs, so that only left Greek yogurt. I was really having a hard time getting that down. I made the soup & chicken and could barely get that down. The turkey burger didn't cook up right and ended up becoming a bowl of ground turkey with avocado and tomatoes. Not too bad, actually. After doing the kickstart for 3 days and finding it very stressful (I also have 3 young children) I decided to just not do the kickstart anymore and continue on with the regular program. I'm much happier and have been sticking to the program. I'm not a fan of her recipes!!

This 7-day kickstart from Jillian Michael's Body Revolution is hard as hell. OMG, I don't think I've done something so hard in my life. The videos are fine, but the meal plan...what? You just don't realize how much your body craves for certain foods until they are taken away. Between the headaches and lack of energy, I feel terrible. But it's only for 7 days....I know the results will be good. I see my body changing aready just in these few days that have past, but man is it hard.

You can do it! Just keep telling yourself, it's only 7 days!!!!
