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.0

I'm starting on Monday the 16th too!0

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.0 -
I am starting tomorrow too (Monday the 16th)0

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!!0 -
I had started before and then I had a foot injury (NOT from Body Revolution) So, now I am starting back tomorrow, monday the 16th! I am not planning on doing the kick start program, because I am trying to do c25k as well. I will not be following the meal plan either- got a large family to feed and we eat pretty healthy, I'm just watching my portion sizes!

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.0 -
Starting on the 16th! Doing the kick start. Plan to follow the meals for kick start, then mix it up for the rest with her meals & other healthy recipes. Aiming for 1400-1500 cals after week 1. Excited!0
-
Starting today...in a few minutes actually. Wish me luck! Lol0
-
I also started this morning!
And I LOVED it!!! Was lovely to be able to actually complete "level one" of a Jillian DVD without having to pause it/stop/take a breather.
I'm excited for tomorrow now!!!
Good luck to all 0 -
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?0
-
Good luck to all of you!!
Don't forget to measure yourselves!!0 -
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. LOL0
-
I started today! First workout wasn't too bad! Add me if you like! Good luck to everyone starting today~0
-
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!

Wahoo, day one of the kickstart is over for me!
I did both work outs in a row, didn't have the time to space them apart. Burned 621 calories according to my heart rate monitor, and that's even with me being out of shape and having to take a couple breathers in the cardio video. My cold didn't help the cardio but I made it through! And work out one was great, no complaints. Most if actually reminds me of the 30 Day Shred.
Great to see that everyone is doing so well!0 -
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.0
-
I did Workout 2 and Cardio 1 yesterday back to back. And boy, was that a crazy workout. Absolutely AWESOME and CRAZY! I think I am always going to space out the workouts going forward LOL
Just did Cardio 1 again this morning and it was much better to do it by itself. But those running mans are doing me in.
Good luck to everyone!0 -
Hi, I also started yesterday Love it 0

Ahh! You have no idea how much this post made me smile once I saw positive reinforcements! I tip my hat to you, keep up the fantastic work!
I'm using a bit of a token economy for my weight loss... I give myself points for a variety of healthy eating behaviours and exercise behaviours. Added a new point for completing both parts of Kickstart Day 2 today. Soon enough I'm going to have enough tokens to get my big token/reinforcement that I want, wahoo!
... I'm a bit of a dork, sorry.
Running mans do me in too! Bah, they're hard. I have no coordination. But I really love how much fun Jillian is in this cardio video, with the dancing and I also love her interactions with Natalie (from the 30Day Shred) as well.
Keep it up everyone, seems like everyone's doing awesome.0 -
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!!0
-
I started on 16th as well- but I skipped first two weeks, they seemed too easy for me (started from workout 3)--I've been working out prior to BR.
Did my Cardio 1 today- only burned 236 cals. Good luck to everyone, please post your results to keep all of us motivated))) 0 -
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.0 -
Gotta be honest, all of that getting up and down is a little ridiculous and I think it's wearing down my knees. None the less Workout 2 wasn't so bad. I was going to do the Cardio today but I think instead of Jillian's Cardio I am going to do Turbo Jam. I miss Chalean. LOL0

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 ) 0

So workout 1 was not to bad, I did not feel to sore the second day and was able to get through cardio and workout 2 pretty well. Im going to do the double cardio tonight and see how it goes. On another note, Im not following the kickstart diet too closely, there is no way i could get my husband to eat that much fish. That being said, I am just substituting with chicken and lean pork. also i am staying within my calorie limit on MFP. 0

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?0 -
I got and started mine yesterday! Did woerkout 1 AND cardio 1. Was NOT a high calorie burner like INSANITY but it was fun!!! Looking forward to this evenings workout! Have a great workout today group!!!0
-
Thanks so much! Ill look into that! 0

I am only on week one day three...well four today. I did the cardio last night...holy cow! Kicked my butt. I had to stop several times. I am hoping it gets easier. Back to wo1 tonight!0
