w00t! I'm starting Phase 2 today, too! Can't wait to see what the "next step" in these workouts will be.... and really interested to see what Cardio 2 is all about...eeek!

Take a leisurely, guided tour of Europe.

UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE! GOOD FOR YOU!!

^^^ Yes to all 3 of these! Plus The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.

Today was the last day in Phase One of Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution Program. In four weeks, I have only lost 5 pounds - but that's actually not too bad. I just have to get used to this slower per week loss, as I'm nearing my end goal. 1.25 pounds per week is okay! I will say, though, I know that I have also lost a lot…

^^^Agreed - if you're near goal weight, 1 lb per week is a lot. Might want to set it for 0.5 and be sure your activity level is set correctly as well.

Are you exercising? MFP is set up to assume that you will eat back your exercise calories as well... so if you go to the gym and burn 300 calories, you'll really be eating 1580 calories that day.

Are you eating back your exercise calories? MFP is designed to give you your minimum goal and then assumes that you'll be eating back whatever you burn.

I really wouldn't suggest doing Abs daily. You're not supposed to work the same muscle group daily (unless you're doing really light routines). I would say every other day is good - that allows one day of rest for your muscles to repair and recover (which, incidentally, is when the muscle "builds up").

I'm a guy and here as well... yo-yo weight loss and gain (plus a gastric bypass 10 years ago that led to rapid weight loss) has left me with lots of loose skin and stretch marks, etc. So I need it just as bad as anyone else! :)

1. Where were you born? Illinois, USA 2. Where do you live at the moment? Illinois, USA 3. Where else have you lived? Los Angeles, CA 4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? I work in University Student Affairs. Dream occupation? Hmm... successful writer? 5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself :)…

Lol. Jillian is far from boring. Her workouts are kick-butt/fast-paced and she's pretty hilarious.

Wow! Fantastic! Much better results than I got... (although I did lose weight and built some muscle. Your overall toning looks a lot better!)

Me too! And I fart a lot. Lol

WOW! THAT'S AWESOME! You look fantastic.... all that in such a short amount of time. Incredible!

Honestly, I love Subway's Veggie Delite sandwich (or Falafel). I get wheat bread with no cheese, lite mayo, and all the veggies I want!

^^^Couldn't be more true! I'm actually a VERY jealous person... and I've (Surprisingly?) become MORE jealous now that I'm in better shape/look better. I can't really explain it ... except that my partner has also gotten in better shape, so is looking better too. Still, we took the journey together and we've been committed…

SO LOUD! My partner thinks I'm nuts.

My partner and I recently got engaged - we plan to get married next May and we're both going to get symbolic tattoos to represent the other / our relationship. I would never get someone's name / physical image, etc. I think a symbol that is meaningful to us is a good choice, because it represents our bond but is also safe…

Lol!

If I could, it would be Robin (or his later alter ego, Nightwing)

Yeah - I could definitely see that being an ideal goal body (if I were a woman).

Yeah, but laser is a one-time thing, right? Do it and its gone for good? Or at least for years. Waxing would have to be done over and over...

Jillian's workouts are awesome! I've done quite a few of them (though not 30DS). I'm currently doing Body Revolution (her 90 day program) and love it. Great workout - good amount of cardio, great amount of strength training. As a guy, I would just suggest using heavier weights than they do in the videos... but her pace…

I wouldn't mind getting rid of it all - but I don't think I could wax. How about laser hair removal instead? :)

Am I the only person who has a specific body in mind?? LOL I'm feeling kind of weird now. I just want to steal his body and transport my brain into it. :P

^^^ Nope. =-/
