Jillian Michaels Body Revolution questions

Starting tomorrow! Would love to friend am so excited to start.

Are you doing the kick start your metabolism?

Hi everyone!

I am also starting JMBR tomorrow with the kickstart week. I am so excited!!!! I will do my best to follow her eating plan, at least initially....

Feel free to friend me! I joined MyFitnessPal very recently and I don't have a lot of friends yet!

I have already started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I am in week 1. We have roughly the same amount of weight to lose if you need an accountability partner. I am not doing her diet. It's too restrictive and I don't like the recipes. I decided to use this site to track my food instead.

I am on week 3 :]]]

I've lost 7 lbs so far!

I should be getting mine in the mail on Wednesday!! Looking forward to starting the program!! I am hoping to lose 20lbs as well possibly more not sure- figured I will decide after I get there!! I have done a few of her othere dvd's with good results but this time I am going to track my calories as well.

I am thinking about getting it....but it's a good chunk of money..... I'm working on the 30DS now, I need to make sure I'm doing this daily before forking out the money

Has anyone gained a couple of pounds when first starting this workout program? I put on 2 lbs the first week. It is very frustrating! I am not following her diet plan but I am eating 1200 calories a day.

So sore! After only 3 days my whole body hurts... but that's good, right?! I like JM's workouts. But I've given up following the meal plan - it just feels too restrictive, but I have stuck to 1200 calories per day on MFP. And I've gained 1.5lbs in 3 days. I know I'm not supposed to check the scale every day, and water weight and all, but it's a bit discouraging. Trying to push through for the week before I weigh myself again. Worried now I'm not eating enough calories? Anyone having this experience?

When they arrive, I'm in. I'm currently doing 30DS but I might add to that when the DVDs arrive. I'm apparently because a workoutaholic or some nonsense.

Well, off to do day four of 30DS.

I'm on week 9 and I love it! Seeing great results and it does not get boring.

You should all look for the group for this program, let's see if this link works:

I didn't mind doing the workouts for the month, I actually found it went by fast. It's nice because you switch the workouts up so one day it's day 1 then day 2. I didn't do the cardio as she had scheduled i just kinda did it on my own time when i had the time to commit to it, but the workouts are fantastic and i love every second of it lol. Feel free to friend me!!

so this is kind of a silly question, but i plan on starting on monday, with the kick start plan....my concern is that i usually work out in the evening if i'm going to work out at home, because i have to leave for work earlier than most people do and am afraid all the jumping around will wake my husband and the neighbors (we live in row home, and the room that's big enough to work out in has hard wood floors). i have been trying not to watch the videos before i start, so i was just curious- since we are supposed to do one in the morning and one in the evening- are any of the workouts in week one low-impact enough as to not cause this problem? like maybe if i did the strength training video in the morning it would be quieter? I figure people living in apartments go through the same thing. just curious. thanks:)

I also had a gain at the scale (by two pounds) this past week after a doctor's appointment on Friday afternoon and weighing in on Sunday morning. Surprisingly the number was the exact same (from a PM weigh-in to an AM weigh-in - probably didn't help that I partied on Saturday night). I'm in phase two, second week of workouts 5 & 6 and I have been using some of her recipes here and there. I eat clean throughout the week, I track my food daily and I give myself a day or two to go off track. Perhaps that's my problem because truth be known, I love my wine and I love my cheese. I won't deprive myself, but I don't drink a whole bottle or eat an entire thing of Drunken Goat in one sitting either. I do my best to do things in moderation and I usually mix up my BR workouts with extra cardio, especially on Saturdays when I run, hike or swim. I just did the Devil Dash and I never thought I could do that. So why the gain? I don't know. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm in the same boat. However, I will say that people are telling me I'm looking good. My arms are starting to take shape in terms of muscle definition (those damn wings are going to take some more time, but I'm willing to put in the effort). My upper abs are starting form into a mini six pack and I feel really good. I may not have the results I want at the scale as of this moment, but my clothes feel looser and I've got a lot more energy throughout the day because I get up and work it out. Our success can't just be measured at the scale. We need to keep on keeping on and really take a good look at ourselves inside and outside to see those results. It's there and I'm determined to see more change with each and every workout I do every single day. You will too!

My wife and I just started on Monday (5/21/12) and so far it is going pretty well. We have a friend that turned us on to it that started in March and just hit his 50lbs lost mark and he is looking great. He has also called me everyday to check in and keep me motivatied. My wife only has about 20lbs to lose and has never had to watch what she eats as she has always been thin. On the otherhand, I have about 90-100lbs I need to lose. We are almost done with day 3 of the kickstart and the meal plan is very restrictive. I have had the worst headache everyday. I am assuming that is from giving up the caffine and probably other chemicals in the foods I was eating. I have started adding a sqeeze of fresh lemon to my water so that help. I appreciate the positive comments on this board and wish all of you the best. Lets keep each other motivated....by they way, I really hate the "Running Man" on Cardio 1, I am terrible at it, but just about got it in this mornings workout ;o)

how nice that you and your wife are doing this together! i think this would be easier if my husband was doing it with me (especially the diet part). but he's trying to be supportive. how are you all liking the kickstart week? i started the same day you did. it's almost over, thank goodness!

SB, the kickstart was tough, but we pushed each other and made it through with flying colors. I lost 13lbs, and my wife lost 2lb. We can tell a difference. Going into to Week 1 of the plan now (we could skip to Wk2, but, we want to do Wk1.), we are continuing the work outs, but are changing up the food plan to be more consistent with a South Beach Phase II meal plan. The food is much better and easier to prepare with more variety. My wife has never had to watch what she eats until recently and it is much easier when we are both on the same plan. We keep each other honest. Good luck to you, how much did you lose during the kickstart? Also, feel free to friend me and my wife (hworrel), and we can keep each other movitivated.
