I am planning on starting on the 16th as well. I've had the DVDs for a bit but it's taken me a while to get organized to start.

I'm tempted to join you all in on this Monday... I was planning to start the 19th (Thursday) because I have an exams on the 16th and 18th and don't want to overwork myself (plus I'm eating very poorly right now throughout these exams, oops) however I like the idea of starting with a group, having that motivation and support.

Just wondering though, is everyone planning to do the kickstart week or just start with the program?

I won't be following the meal plan per say. I've looked at it, I've acknowledged there's good points and bookmarked a couple recipes but I don't think it's for me as I'm extremely picky and don't control the food in my house. Plus I like fruit way too much. I saw no strawberries on the one guide and almost gave up the program there and then XD I'll still eat well, aiming for a net of 1300 calories, but yeah, not doing the meal plan strictly.

I started today (Sunday, April 15th). I was going to start on Monday too, but I felt like Saturday would be a better rest day for me. I always have crazy busy Saturdays (kids events etc), so I am going to see how this goes. If it doesn't work, then maybe in a few weeks I will switch to Sunday rest day too like everyone else.

Workout 1 was a blast! I couldn't do Cardio 1 as planned today, but I do plan to do Workout 2 and Cardio 1 tomorrow and follow the kickstart plan the rest of the week.

I am super excited!! Let's do it together guys!!

I'm starting today! Not following the kick-start plan or the diet plan. I'm doing a Body revolution and Chalean Extreme hybrid and will be eating 1400 cals + exercise cals, hopefully will be making good food choices. Let's do this!

And just to feel more committed, I'll be starting a blog too.

Starting today...in a few minutes actually. Wish me luck! Lol

Hi! I got mine saturday and started this morning! Its good to have someone on exact same schedule. I have never fully committed to any exercise let alone one that goes every day so I hope I stick with it. Do you know how to log it into MFP?

Completed Workout 1 for week 1. It wasn't that bad. I felt like maybe I was doing something wrong because it was so easy. Well...easy isn't exactly the word for it. LOL

I also started today and am excited for the results.

A secret...I tried to start last week...bought all of the ingredients for the Kick Start plan. Made it thru the afternoon eating well and then it all took a turn for the worse...for the rest of the week.

Today I started counting my calories and easily stayed within myfitnesspal suggested limit, so I'm hoping that is a better solution for me.

I've also committed to running a 5k mid-June so I believe I will be using that as my cardio on Wednesday/Saturday and one other day.

Looking forward to seeing the results with all of you!

I also started yesterday, and today I am so sore and tired, it is going to be a real battle to do today. Time for positive reinforcements in my head.

Hi, I also started yesterday Love it

I started yesterday too. I'm surprised how fast-paced the workouts are; but I LOVE them! I just finished p90x, so the exercises are not that HARD, but she transitions so much more quickly than I'm used to. Can't wait to keep trying new workouts!!

How do you know how many calories you burn? I still dont know how to log in the workouts. What do you do?
I have only done workouts 1 and 2. Need to do cardio tonight. I find the fast pace a little difficult. I twisted my ankle at one point. Not bad but I guess I just move too slow. Need to work on that.

allibean - I bought an HRM (heart rate monitor) and I think that's my best fitness purchase so far! I bought a Polar FT7 on Amazon for $75. I put it on every time I exercise and it tells me how many calories "I" burn during an exercise, no more guesstimating!! Also spending that money gave me accountability and now I feel like if I don't exercise enough then I wasted all that money, so that gets me motivated (of course that was before I bought JMBR because now this is enough motivation to do my workouts every day )

I did Cardio 1 for the 3rd time and surprisingly I think I did better today. I didn't have to stop (just slowed down a couple times) and was able to stay with them through out the entire DVD. Yay!! That was huge, considering the first time I was totally out of breath before I completed the first circuit!

How is everyone else doing?

Thanks so much! Ill look into that!
