    HOw do you feel after 4 weeks? Notice any changes? :wink:

    Honestly, I have never felt better. I have a lot of energy and my clothes are fitting so great. I even feel like I stand up straighter. I don't think I have lost much in the amount of lbs (scale is all over the place, I ordered a new one that I should get on Thurs.) but I can feel the inches are coming off and muscle tone is showing up all the time. I'll post a 30 day update soon to give you some more info. So far for me, BR has been worth its weight in gold.

    I've been lurking but I wanted to chime in about quitting Diet Coke. Until last summer, I would drink 6-8 Diet Cokes a day. For DECADES!!! Then I read this article, some new study came out about diabetes and I think the upshot was that it may not have any calories, but if you are insulin resistant (and I am), the aspartame tricks your brain into thinking that you are ingesting sugar...and your cells store even more of your food as fat than it would otherwise do. I was so angry about this that I finally quit drinking Diet Cokes. I don't recommend this, but what I did as temporary measure was switch to regular Cokes... but I stopped drinking those, too, a couple of months ago. The headaches don't last long, and I certainly do feel better. The hard part is having to drink other things that you perceive as having no flavor in comparison. I am still not a water fan, but I can tolerate it better and better as time goes on. It's a work in progress!

    Now that several months have passed, I will have a Diet Coke at a restaurant every once in a while; now that I have joined MFP I don't go out often anymore, and I don't drink regular Coke at all. I refuse to buy even Diet Coke at the store or at work - too convenient. I really do feel much better now that I'm drinking water instead of all those nasty chemicals. Have you noticed that ethylene glycol is in the ingredient list - OMG! Isn't that antifreeze?!:noway: I never thought I would see the day when a die-hard Diet Coke fan like myself would be able to quit it. But I finally did. And you can too! Need more convincing? Just take out your calulator and figure out how much money you spend per year on cokes and that should clinch it.

    can I also ask how much weight have you lost? I have the same goal weight and same current weight as you, I am 5'5 in height if that makes a difference. :))

    I started at 128 and then went up to 128.5 the first week (I did the kick start). I upped my calories after the kick start and then started losing. I was down about 3.5-4lbs and my target was set to only lose 0.5 lbs a week. I also got a new scale but I think the 3.5-4 lb loss is accurate (if anything I lost more than that because my old scale was all over the place). My height is 5'4.75" so we are definitely very similar. It's funny because the pictures don't even do justice to how I feel. My stomach really flattened out and my butt is about half the size it was (it doesn't look like it in the pictures as much). Haha

    I felt like the first phase was not very difficult as I was in pretty good shape to begin with. I think I should really start to see some differences throughout the next two phases, as the workouts have definitely increased in difficulty. Good luck with the program! I know you'll love it! Friend me if you would like some support. :o)

    So, I'm trying to decide between the JM Body Revolution and Insanity. My goal is to lose about 15 to 20 pounds and/or a couple sizes over the next 2 months. I've always worked out but got busy working 2 jobs over the last year. Any input is appreciated!!

    I have never done Insanity so I can't say much about the program although I have heard very good things.

    I personally love Body Rev. and I plan on doing a second round of it after I finish the first. I will be starting week ten on Monday. The workouts are always changing and that keeps me interested and not bored. The second time through I plan to add more jump training moves and more weights to make things more difficult. The only thing I haven't enjoyed is the cardio. The difficulty hasn't been a problem but I find that it is the only video that I get bored doing. I might do different cardio than the Body Rev. cardio during my second round because I don't look forward to it like her regular workouts. My favorite part about the program is that it is only a half hour time commitment every day for six days a week. I feel like that is something I can sustain for the rest of my life and I have definitely seeing changes in that time-frame.

    Hope this helped a little!
