    I am starting again tomorrow. I got mine about 11 days ago and started as soon as it arrived with the kick start program. 2 days worth, ... then the weekend came, then a week of painting walls and moving furniture; today, though, I'm back on track and am starting again tomorrow anew with the kick start program. I will prob not be following the meal plan bc it looks a litlle expensive for our grocery budget! Good luck everyone!

    I'm excited to hear so many of us are starting tomorrow or soon after! Today I am modifying Jillian's shopping list for the kickstart week since some of the recipes are multiple serving sizes and some I will have more than once. I'll do my shopping for the week sometime tonight. I also made a motivation board in paint on my computer and saved it as my background (I posted it in my profile in case anyone wants to check it out). I figured if I am going to do the program, I might as well take every suggestion Jillian gives to get the best bang for my buck!

    I got mine!! I order via the 800 number too and never got a order confirmation. I did get a shipping confirmation, but like others have said, I got it the day before it was on my door step.

    I started today, cause my "rest" day is Saturday... the day I do all my laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping yada yada so it just works out better for me. Sitting today and making some of the "quick start" recipes and adding them to my foods so I can easliy add them during the week.

    First workouts were not that challenging but I'm sure they'll get tougher as time goes on :sad:

    Feel free to add me to your friends, we can commiserate together LOL

    Bummer! I hope you get the kick start soon! Jillian posted on there that it is suppose to be done for one week during the 90 day program. It's meant to be done the first week but I wouldn't see any harm in doing it the second if you have to. Fingers crossed that it comes quick for you!

    Just got back from grocery shopping ... am doing the 7 day kickstart ... well ... as best as I can. I'm looking forward to tomorrow but also dreading it. I have a major sweet tooth plus I'm a diet coke fiend ... yep, I'll admit it! That's the first step to change ... but I'm not looking forward to going through the "withdrawls". I've got a notepad with my meals written out for the next week so that will help me keep on track. Tomorrow is a stay home get the house in order after the weekend kinda day so gonna get the poached chicken and veggie soup going so when I have a busy day ... at least that will be easy for me to grab to eat for lunch instead of cheating.

    In the morning after kids are gone, I'm going to:
    1: take my measurements and weight
    2: eat breakfast
    3: get a couple of things going (ie: load of laundry, start soup ... something for about 1/2 an hour to let my stomach settle)
    4: do 1st dvd
    5: continue w/house, cooking stuff, errands
    6: around 3:30 - 4 pm I will do the cardio dvd ... it will just be easier during that time than in the evenings for me ...

    Biggest challenges I see are: doing it :) , drinking water, and not giving in to cravings/not watching portions since I will be at home

    Hope no one minds me writing all of this out ... I'm just really wanting to change my habits, which as we all know, is very hard to do. Having it here in black and white and also having other people know my plans ... makes it more concrete. I will lie/make excuses to myself ... I won't lie to other people if asked about my day ... I want to suceed!

    I'll join. I couldn't find my measuring tape, but I'll do my measurements ASAP. I'm ready to get this started. :)

    ok... so another question... how do you track your excercise on here? I did the first dvd but I don't know how to capture what I did. Any help would be appreciated.

    So far, so good. I really liked the first dvd ... the moves are simple to follow but man, did I feel it. I am WAY out of shape! I really liked her style and encouragement throughout the routine and actually caught myself "talking" back to her:laugh: but I pushed through it... and that is what matters! Big accomplishment for me.

    Took my measurements/weight, food is on track, water is on track ... have managed to "stare down" the diet coke in the fridge:happy: ... step one has been taken!

    Sounds like we are off to a great start!

    Measurements/weight/pictures are all done for me. I have a vision board saved as the background on my computer (more motivating than I thought it would be already). I pre-weighed and packaged all the meat for the week and put it in the freezer. I plan on pulling out what I need the night before so it can thaw. I'm following the kick start and had Greek yogurt this morning, have the hummus and veggies portioned and packed for a snack and I'm enjoying the citrus salmon salad right now. Having the steak salad tonight for dinner.

    I had to do workout 1 and cardio 1 back to back as I work until 1am and know that I won't do it when I get home. I logged the workout 1 as circuit training and cardio 1 as aerobics general. Not sure if that is the best way but I'm mostly logging to make sure I say on task. I'm following the plan as close as possible so I don't have too many decisions to make if my calories are a little off.

    I like detailed posts too kschristine! It helps me stay on track hearing what others are doing. Good luck everyone! TODAY IS THE DAY!

    Just got mine in the mail today - will start first workout tonight when I get home from work. Would love to follow along with everyone on this 90 day journey! Good luck to everyone!

    Oh and I ordered mine on 02/17, never got an email so I emailed customer service and they promptly replied. I got my tracking number and it was delivered a little early, on 02/25.

    I did the first workout today (I'm skipping the 7 day metabolism thing). I feel amazing!

    I did workout 1 today. I'm not doing the kickstart. Anyway, I really liked it. It was doable while still being tough. I am looking forward to tomorrow's workout. One funny thing, my son came into the room to see what I was doing. He said that Jillian sounded like Wesley Crusher to him from the other room.

    I expected to wake up sore after day one, but I was just fine. Day two was a great morning workout, I feel full of energy.

    Finished workout 2 and cardio 1! I was surprised how sore I was this morning as I am used to Jillian's workouts and didn't feel like workout 1 was as tough as I expected it to be. I'm sure I will be hurting tomorrow again. I should be able to space out the cardio 1 workouts tomorrow so I'm looking forward to not having to do them back-to-back.

    Sounds like everyone is off to a great start!

    I hope I will feel just as good. I skipped the double work out each day for a week but am currently on my second day of the "Jump start Your metabolism" diet... VERY rough...but I'm hoping it pays off. Not necessarily my metabolism but in my overall energy. I'm one to consume a LOT of sugar because I have a weakness for pop. So headaches are occuring but it's merely 7days.. so we'll see. I'm glad to hear so many good things about the actual work out plan though! :)

    I am so excited!! I ordered JMBR over the weekend. Can't wait for it to get here. How long did some of you have to wait before you got your order?? I am planning on doing her KickStart. I just feel that I really need the structure of the plan.

    Is it worth getting this if you also go to the gym? Iknow this is a program where you would do these workouts at home daily..

    Finished dvd #2 ... wow! Again, really liked it ... but I was very sore from the 1st day and almost gave up 2x ... but I didn't! I finished the dvd... woohoo! I will not be doing the pm cardio ... the heart is in it ... but the body is very out of shape! :laugh: ... I can barely walk now. I feel somewhat bad because I want to follow the plan completely, but I know if I try it, I will be in a lot of pain and then just want to give up the plan all together. Backing off is better than giving up ... I still excersised today which is more than I can say I've done in the last 6+ years!

    I did workout 2 today and loved it. I really appreciate how she is starting out a little easier. I felt good after I finished and almost did the cardio, but I decided not to because I am trying to avoid burning out. But as the evening has gone on, the soreness has kicked in and I'm glad I didn't do extra. I am really loving this program so far!

    Just finished the cardio dvd and I feel like I'm dying! Still very sore from the last 2 days so I'm proud of myself for even putting the dvd in, let alone playing, let alone actually excercising! Don't get me wrong ... some of the moves I did were very UGLY and I wasn't keeping up with the pace 100% of the time ... but I pushed myself and I was breathing hard. Can I say I hate the "running man"? If anyone had been watching me, I know they would have busted a gut laughing! I would, if I wasn't in sooo much pain:laugh: ... how did I get to be so uncordinated??

    I'm finding myself getting more short tempered, and I know it has to do with cutting out diet coke and dramatically changing my diet from what it had been ...plus of course, being sore....by the end of the day, I just want to hide out in my room and not deal with my responsibilities. I know it will pass... hopefully the family will survive and forgive.
