Good morning! I am trying to get down around 85-100 lbs by my 45th birthday next February. The last time I lost significant weight was with Atkins in 2003, got pregnant with #3 and still haven't lost it. I want to do this the healthy way and get off my blood pressure meds. :)

Roander, you look awesome!! Congrats on finishing! I'm still working on workout 11 & 12. What are your plans now that you are finished? Are you going to keep doing these workouts or do something different?
-
Accurate description! :) I think you need to add an uggggghhhhh in the middle!

I was thinking about doing 9/10 for a third week as well. I just finished my 2nd week of those workouts and I feel pretty good about them but I haven't lost any weight these two weeks (my fault, bad eating) so I want to get back going good on the meal plan before I start 11/12. Then I think I might repeat t he whole phase…

What did you think of p90x? I was thinking about ordering it to start this fall when the weather gets bad. I've got 2-3 weeks of BR and I want to get outside for a few months (running and cycling) before I start another round of videos. I'm intimidated by the hour long DVDs!
-
Ugh, I had to do both 9 & 10 today back to back. I didn't get to workout yesterday and didn't want to get off my schedule. It was tough! Y'all are cracking me up with the dive bombers. They are hard and there is no way to tell if you are doing it right. The video was a good idea! I can't do the reverse blank leg lifts at…

Yep, Cardio day is double bra day. Most definitely! :)
-
Thanks for the pointers! I pulled a muscle near my hip doing the curtsy squats so I hope that it will get to feeling better soon. :(
-
I haven't bought the cookbook yet but it sounds like I'm going to have to get it soon! How many servings are there in a batch? Don't want to have too many helpings laying around the house if they are that good! :)
-
I started 9 today. It really was a challenge! I paused and backed it up quite a bit trying to get it right. I made sure I shut the door so my husband couldn't see. Not that he cares but it is kind of embarrassing the first time. I'm not exactly sure what that last cardio move was. Some kind of squat/roll/jump thing. I…

This is the reply that I got from Customer Service. Thank you for taking the time to bring this error to our attention. We’ve reviewed your e-mail and unfortunately you’re 100% correct. We contacted our printer and had them correct future copies of the meal plan booklet. We also have one our editors going through all…

I'm trying to visualize doing crabs with weights and I can't figure it out. I was so excited when I didn't see any crabs in 7/8. I guess it can only last for so long!
-
I feel for you! I went on vacation and decided to repeat 7/8. Basically, I was SCARED. I'll be there with you on Monday. By then you will be a pro!
-
Nice work! Keep it up!

I have found the key to Cardio 2!! Mute Jillian, listen to your own music and when it is time for punches, turn sideways and punch her right in the mouth!! :)

Cheat meals have always been difficult for me! I weighed in yesterday and knew we were going out to dinner with friends. I didn't have any drinks because that can really send me into binge/cheat mode but I did try to eat sensibly. Unfortunately, I ate french fries which led to trying to eat my weight in chocolate (PMS)…

I bought new Brooks GTS Adrenaline running shoes when I started the program. I also wondered if there might be a better shoe than a running shoe but haven't tried anything else. I do like to run and I try to save my Brooks for just running but shoes are expensive and I would hate to spend another $80-100 on shoes for my…

Today I did workout 8 for the first time. The first circuit wasn't too bad but the cardio kicks it up a notch in this workout. There are butt kicks with bicep curls, jump ropes with 3 lb weights, rock stars and suicides. Circuit 3 is REALLY tough with a warrior 3, holding 3 lb weights.
-
Congrats for getting through it! I woke up with VERY sore shoulders. Not in pain, just that good, tight sore. :)
-
I survived workout 7! It is killer and you are right, Bailey, that first set is just plain awful! I was so thankful to no longer have the crab moves in there though and felt better than my first few times with workout 5. After the first circuit, I thought it went pretty good. I am amazed at how high I can jump now when I…

Thanks for sharing. I thought her chocolate chip muffins were so dry! For 280 calories they should have tasted wonderful!
-
I am still very annoyed by the mistakes in the meal plan. I emailed customer service today to see if they are going to do anything about it. I'll let you know what I find out!
-
I put each muffin in a ziplock sandwich bag then put all of the sandwich bags into a large ziplock freezer bag. I can put them in the microwave completely frozen for 30 seconds and they are ready to eat. Nice to have on hand for a breakfast on the go.

I'm in my 5th week and have lost 17 pounds. I love the program and the workouts but the meal plan is hard to stick to on some days. There is a group here on mfp and everyone is sharing a lot about the program. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/2883-jillian-michaels-body-revolution

Hal Higdon's website has great training plans. http://www.halhigdon.com/training/ I've used his 10K plan in the past. Good luck!
-
No suicides but each circuit ends with burpees!
-
I got 12 muffins out of these but the texture is very thick and I filled the muffin pan almost to the top. They don't rise much. I like these for when I don't have time to cook in the morning. They freeze well and you can pop them in the microwave for breakfast on the go.
-
That's funny, Roander! I just finished workout 5 for the LAST time. Thankfully! I still don't have that mult-step yoga move down. The crabs are better but I still can't get my leg off the ground. I am scared to see what workout 7 has in store for us!

16 servings for the guacamole? That is NUTS! You would think with as much $ we have forked out for this plan they could have at least proofed the recipes!
