I am in Phase 1, Week 4. I am a little anxious about moving on to phase 2. Someone said the dreaded running man comes back again. I put the scale away and I am concentrating on inches instead. The scale was driving me nuts. Feel free to friend me. I would love to keep up with others doing the program.0

Hi all back yet again.
I restarted yesterday. I moved onto Workout 5 as I had done 3.5 weeks when I had to stop due to my knees constantly hurting. I really love Workout 5&6. Unfortunately I can already feel my knees again. I just used a cool pack today after the workout and that is what I will continue doing. I wonder what it is! It is driving me insane.
Great to see that so many people still going strong.
Thank you! I haven't actually been to the doctor. I just took a time off and the pain went away. Now that I started again I am trying as much as I can to keep it low impact. My knees do feel tender again now though and it's only been 4 days. I just put an ice pack on them in the evening. Maybe I will go and see a doctor but I am not sure if there is a point.
I just hope I can keep going like this for a bit now. I really want to lose weight/inches now that the summer has arrived in the UK :-)
Welcome back! What did the doct say?0 -
I am wondering what weight they do use. When she says grab your heavy, I am grabbing my 12's or 15's!
I was curious too
) So i googled JM weight set- it comes with 3s, 5s and 8s. So when she says grab your heavy weight, they actually grab 8s. 0 -
Yeah, workout 7 is hard, but i really hate circiut 3 of workout 8- by the end my shoulders are shaking (literally ) lolWeek one of of workouts 7&8. Workout 7 on Monday really tore me up good and I have to do it again today. Waaaaaah!
All that being said, I'm loving the program. Almost 12 lbs down and inches.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm on day 5/ Week 1! I am down 3.8 lbs so far and feeling sore/great! I've been using her dvd's for years in my work out routines, even did a round of her book Making the cut, and find it so familiar and wonderful to be doing her moves again.0

Day 47 for me, just over the halfway mark! I'm avoiding work out eight right (week 7) now haha so I thought I'd check in here. I basically went over all of this in my latest blog post but here's some numbers and progress for everyone:
Current Weight: 145.2lbs.
Starting Weight of the BR: 151lbs.
--- I actually got up to 153 at one point early in the BR. So that was my highest weight of the program. Phase 1 saw little overall loss for me on the scale, and since starting phase 2 I've lost four pounds.
Waist: 27.75" (down 1 inch)
Pant Size: 6 (was a very tight 8 at the start)
Intake: 1800 calories/day
--- started out at 1300 in the beginning of the BR, did nothing for me. Moved it up to 1600 then 1800 as my BMR/TDEE thing says I should be and have been seeing the scale move down ever since
Those are the measurements I really have right now, I'll have more at the end of phase 2.
Loving the BR! 7 and 8 really push me, they're so difficult but I feel bad *kitten* when I complete them. Don't want to ramble on too much but I try to blog on here about my experience with the BR so if anyone's interested here's the link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/tofitnessandbeyond0 -
I am on day 6 of the 7 day Kickstart and I have already lost 5lbs, so excited because the scale barely moved when I did Insanity.0

Hey guys! Today I am starting week 3 work out 3 a little scared of what she's going to throw at us. I have 6 pounds to go till I see the 50s again! I have no idea when I saw the 50s the last time lol but I'm excited! I've lost 6 pounds so far during weeks 1 and 2. I am seeing muscles in places I didn't think I would have them!0

First week of workouts 9 & 10! They are tuff but I did my best!!!0
-
Just started this program this week! I'm a bit out of shape so when I started Workout 1 I was so tired half-way through. However day 2 I found I enjoyed Workout 2 more.
I'm excited about this program. So far so goof! I'm not following her meal plan, but I'm ensuring my caloric intake is 1200-1400 per day.0 -
Just finished week 3! The cardio is becoming so much easier. I can tell that my arms are getting stronger because the arm circles with the leg kick-outs doesn't burn nearly as badly as it used to. A small thing perhaps, but wow, does it make a difference during the workout.0
-
Still sticking with it! Redoing weeks 5 & 6 again though. Just didn't feel that I was able to do them all well enough to move on - so 2 more weeks before I move on 0
-
Missing my workouts...I feel like a sloth since I hurt my knee mid cardio 3 and am now stuck on crutches. I'm very envious of all of you that are still working hard! Keep it up everyone, I'm anxiously waiting til I can restart again!0

Finished Phase 2 as of today! Wahoo! I started at 151 lbs, shot up to 153 for a while, and am now sitting at 143.8lbs! Also my waist has went down 1.75inches, my hips .75", thighs 1", bicep an inch, and I finally am at a healthy BMI!
Here's a little progress picture from when I started to today, I go into it a bit more on my mfp blog.
(It's a gif, let it move/load/wait a second and you'll see my progress.)0 -

Great Job!!! Definitely see the difference, your abs look great0 -
Hi all
I am back again. I have started before but had things such as holidays coming up so had breaks in between. So far I am up to Workout 5&6. I really loved them but as I have done the 2 weeks of them I think I will move on to 7&8. I will see how I feel with it as I haven't been exercising for about 2 weeks now. I really loved 5&6. They were definitely my favourite so far. We will see what 7&8 brings.
Keep up the good work!0 -
In Week 1/ Day 3 doing the two a day workouts. I've been dreading doing Cardio 1 twice in a row, but it really wasn't all that bad. Suprised myself today. Enjoying the workouts can't wait to see what the rest hold in store.0
