I am thankful to only have to do workout 5 one more time. But who knows what 7 will be like! My triceps were sore for a week after the first time I did 5. It is tough but it gets easier!

Don't give up yet! The first time I did it I basically just sweated and cussed at my TV. It gets better! It's still not easy but it definitely gets better!

Workout 5 is the hardest for me so far but it gets better! I still can't lift my leg on the crabs but can do just about all of them now. Good luck!

I'm in week 5 and I use 8 for heavy, 5 for medium and 3 for light. I may pick up some 10's after week 6. Sometimes my shoulder and elbow get a little sore so I'm trying to be careful and not hurt anything.

Roander I HATED workout 5 the first time I did it. I did it for the second time yesterday and it really wasn't that bad. The crab moves are still my least favorite of all the moves. Cardio 2 is getting easier for me as well. Stefanie83 Workout 6 has some tough moves! I'm not 100% sure I'm getting the positions right, nor…

I took mine too and need to take 1 month pictures. I hid them on some obscure folder on my computer. Definitely don't want them popping up in a screensaver or something! How often are y'all measuring and taking pictures? I saw on the Jillian site she is going to have contests if you take pictures and measurements each…

That sounds like a good idea. It's funny because of all the years I've been dieting, I've never just counted calories. It's always been points, carbs, etc. I've got some calorie counting to do. :)

I hate the crab!! I started workout 5 today and the crab is back, this time with one leg in the air. I had my leg up for about 2 reps then back to the regular crab. I am glad that I am not the only one who hates this exercise!

OMG, Cardio 2 is torture! The only blessing is that the circuits are only 30 seconds instead of a minute like with Cardio 1. Hopefully, it will be easier at the end of the month. I am sure that I said a lot of curse words the first time I did Cardio 1 and I find it easy now. But oh my, it is quite a workout. Lots of…

I'm following the meal plans but I have a lot to lose. I was really hungry at first but it has calmed down. I have to pick the foods that keep me satisfied the longest. For example, I had the banana almond smoothie yesterday for a snack and it did not even touch my hunger. The guacamole/pita chips snack fills me up a lot…

Thanks vai45! I have one like that too and blew it up in the microwave. :) What power do you cook them on? I don't like them runny but I think high power was too high. I may have to give it another try.

I bought the book but haven't gotten to the desserts just yet. Not sure if I'm ready to have any yummy desserts around. The book was rather startling to me and eye opening about all of the crap that could potentially hurt our bodies. I know there is no way I could follow everything she says but it has made me think about…

Thanks Theredcliche! Charlene, I think it was the crab thingies. Really worked my triceps! Good luck!

Myeatman, I believe you can do the kickstart meals anytime during the 90 days. I'm still using some of the recipes. Congrats Roander on the push ups! I about died the first time I did workout 3 but it was a lot easier the second time I did it.

Good luck Besttobe! Charlene, I am sore this week. My triceps are still sore, two days after doing workout 3. I have to do it again in the morning and I'm dreading it a little. Workout 4 wasn't bad and the cardio is getting easier each time. How are you doing with the plan?

I have to admit, I was really nervous after first looking through the fat burning meal plan. So many weird foods that I would not eat on a normal basis! I spent a lot of time studying it and picked out the most appealing for me for the first week after the kickstart. I have finished my first week on the fat burning meal…

Today was my first day of week 3 as well. Congrats to you for being so in shape because workout 3 kicked my bootie! I have not done a lot of Yoga in the past so I definitely had to pause and back it up a few times trying to get it right. The hardest move for me was the crab move of all things. I made it through though and…

I'm sure part of my 11 pounds week 1 is that I started with about 70 pounds to lose total. :) I just finished workout 3 and it is really a step up from 1 and 2. I am wore out!

After more digging, I found 4 discussions that one of the site admins posted for the body revolution people. Not as much as I expected as a lot of the recipes are not available in the food journal and none of the workouts are listed as options for the fitness journal. All of her other DVDs are listed. One member contacted…

I couldn't find the nitrate free canadian bacon. I either use regular canadian bacon or reduced sodium bacon and trim off the extra fat. Yeah, the yogurt is nasty! It's good though to replace mayonaise. I made the chicken salad in the regular diet and it was really good.

Myeatman-The only breakfast I liked was the canadian bacon with poached eggs, avocado and tomatoes. I ate that every day and am still using it now in the next phase. It kept me full until lunch time. I couldn't stomach the yogurt without any sweeteners but after the kickstart week you can add a little honey to the yogurt.…

Thanks, lelasutt. I made the chicken salad today and it used the yogurt to replace mayo and it was really delish. Felt good to eat a sandwich too. :) I will have to definitely pick up the cookbook. I used circuit training for the strength workouts and aerobics for the cardio. I coudn't think of something better to call it…

Hi all, I'm new to fitness pal but am on day 10 of Body Revolution. I have lost 11 pounds so far and am feeling great. I do have a lot to lose so I'm sure that is why I lost so much the first week. I had been doing 30DS and C25K for about a month before getting Body Revolution. I did the kickstart week and either had a…

I am on day 6 of body revolution. I am really doing well with the program. I have about 70 pounds total to lose and I lost 12 pounds the first 6 days. The workouts are not too challenging at first but she keeps mentioning that this is the easy part. If you've been doing 30 day shred, the early workouts are kind of similar.…
