Awesome, thanks! I'll check out your blog now. :)

Here's an update on my experience with Phase 2... If any of you out there are like me, and started seeing slow weight loss at the start of Phase 2 (not sure how because Workouts 5 and 6 are NO cake walk), I tried something this week that worked. I don't have too much more weight to lose so the weight loss has been about…

I had the same question, and was super confused. I was getting the same response that you are getting, but it still didn't make sense to me. I saw a nutritionist, and she explained it this way...maybe it'll help you because it helped me. You need to find your BMR and add your exercise to that. Subtract what you've eaten…

I've started a blog about my history with the weight issues, and my journey through Body Revolution. Here it is for anyone that wants to follow along. :) http://maesbodyrevolution.blogspot.com

Thanks for your input, girls. Yalediv08, someone else from Jillian Michaels' website said the same thing to me about not having as much weight to lose...makes sense, but how nice would it be if it all just came off the first week or two? Hahaha. Patience, I know. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'm glad there is a forum here where we can all support one another! How far along are you in the program? Are you following the diet plan? I'm not, but am definitely making better choices now that I'm using MFP...it really helps you put what you are putting into your mouth into perspective! And do you do…

I did Insanity before BR...had no idea BR was even out there...I just saw it on TV one night when I was up late; before I saw it I was set on doing Chalean Extreme. I'm glad I chose BR instead! I've loved the results I'm seeing. Insanity is absolutely insane, and it was very, very difficult for me to keep up 100% of the…

I actually had the same question with Body Revolution. I burn 800-1,000 calories a day doing BR and other cardio DVD's that Jillian Michaels has out, and it seemed odd to stick to a 1200 calorie diet. I finally went to see a nutritionist, and she said that sticking to a 1200 calorie diet may work in the beginning, but it…

I am on Phase 1 Week 3 and absolutely love it! I did Insanity before Body Revolution, and although Insanity was intense, I did not lose a single pound. My body composition definitely changed, and it got me into better cardio condition, but the scale not moving was very frustrating. After week 2 of Body Revolution, I've…

Mike, if my 1,000 calorie deficit is already factored into my goal of 1200, and I burn 1,000 calories, I will be under the 1,200 calorie limit each day, and from everything I've read, that is bad, bad, bad...especially when strength training 4 days a week. So I've decided I am just going to make sure I eat 1200 calories a…

Thanks, everyone! It's all starting to make sense. :happy: I will make sure to eat back the calories I burn!

You're right. When you break it down like that, and my boyfriend did too, it seemed like way too much of a deficit. But according to My Fitness Pal, my calorie intake should be 1200 calories based on my weight loss goals, and Jillian Michaels' website claims the same thing a 1200 calorie diet with burning at least 1,000…
