You look incredible. What a transformation!

Unless you've eaten 7,000 - 10,500 calories over maintenance for the week, you have not gained any fat. Just stick with it and you will see those pounds plus much more coming off. Also make sure you measure. I recently gained 2-3 pounds, but lost an inch on my waist.

I have a mfp friend who keeps her diary private, but based on her exercise and the amount she claims to eat, she is netting NEGATIVE calories (i.e., burning 2,000 calories in workouts and only eating 1200 calories for the day). She passed her goal weight about 20 pounds ago, so I'm a bit worried. I have tried to encourage…

I ate between 1200 and 1500 calories per day on the program (usually 1400 and not eating back exercise calories). I honestly didn't make any of the recipes from the program. I lost 23 pounds and 32 inches in the 90 days. I was about 40 pounds overweight when I started the program.

I just wanted to add-- in Jillian's podcast, she said 1200 cals is ok if you are morbidly obese. However, as you get more fit, you should up your cals. I was eating 1200 cal my first three weeks of body revolution and I felt like crap. I was obese, 40 pounds overweight when I started. I upped to 1400 cals and felt great. I…

My heart rate average is usually around 160 (with highs at about 175). In terms of calories burned, I usually burn about 300-330 calories per workout. Cardio 3 is my biggest calorie burner at about 350.

Yesterday one of my friends was commenting on my new figure. He said, "You used to be 'shapely'" and did the finger quotes. But he followed it up with, "You look fantastic now!" so I wasn't too upset :)

I don't know... I think the "cardio" incorporates a lot of strength. Jump squats and lunges are strength training for your legs. Just because there aren't dumbbells in your hands, doesn't mean it's not strength!

I wouldn't skip any rest days. You need rest days! The program does allow for "extra credit" workouts. Maybe add 30DS or a workout from Kickbox fastfix a few times a week.

I feel like BR got me in a routine. Now that I'm done with BR, I still workout 6 days a week and eat healthy. During BR, I lost 22 pounds. It's been 3 months since I finished the program and I've lost another 15 pounds. Your weight loss on this program may not be as drastic as what you see on the biggest loser, but you get…

with pineapple mango salsa! yum!

You look great! Very well done! How many inches did you lose?

I have a hrm and the calories burned for me were pretty close to the "Circuit training, general" on MFP. In some cases it underestimated my calorie burn. I average 300-350 calories burned per workout.

For me its every 8-12 pounds.

I workout six days a week and eat 1200-1500 calories per day (so kinda close to what you do). I've been tracking my progress in an excel spreadsheet. I noticed that I lost a bunch in the beginning, then I went down to losing 0-.5 pounds per week (for like a month), then went back to losing 1-1.5 pounds per week. Like…

3571 + 27 = 3598

It's not as bad as workout 9!

I gained weight after going on Mirena, but it was because I ate poorly and didn't exercise. I'm still on it and have had no trouble losing 27 pounds!

Eating breakfast before a workout makes me feel pukey and when I have a "little something" before a workout, all it does is start up my metabolism and I end up feeling hungry and weak during my workout. An empty stomach works best for me. Everyone is different. Try each way and see what works for you.

I always workout on an empty stomach because otherwise I feel like I'm going to throw up. My smaller waist and new biceps tell me I'm burning fat, not muscle :drinker:

Yum!

I had a hard time with it, too. What I did was try to do 1 or 2 unmodified moves (if I could) and then do the modified version. I could actually do most of the moves unmodified by the second week. Just a warning: I felt the same about workout 9, too. But I got through it! Just keep at it and you'll do great!

I watch Naruto. Never tried it before a workout, though. I feel like Rock Lee when doing burpees-- "If I can't finish this interval, I'll have to do an interval of plank jacks! If I can't finish an interval of plank jacks, I'll have to do an interval of cross hops!" dattebayo!

I have six week six pack. I found that level 1 was too easy and not that great of a workout after completing body revolution. Level 2 is more difficult, but still not as difficult as BR. If you are going to do six week six pack, I would add some cardio to it (like kickbox fastfix which is a really great one!). I agree that…

I went on a date with a guy who spent the entire time bragging about his band. I said I was hungry and his response was "I already ate." Then he checked out a girl right in front of me... and not just a glance. He actually turned his body to stare at her butt.

Thanks for posting this! I think I'll try it out once I get closer to my goal and want to focus on toning. How do you like the trainer for CLX? I'm kind of picky when it comes to trainers... I've tried Bob Harper's dvds and most of the firm dvds and I only like Jillian! I like someone who is tough, but likable.

I just finished the program this week! Welcome! The workouts in the AM and PM are for the kickstart week (if you choose to do it). You stick to the schedule for week 1 but add cardio 1 to each day (you can do them back to back if you want). Kickstart also has you eating very few calories. HOWEVER, (and I've heard Jillian…

I had a super nintendo when I was younger, but I wouldn't call myself a gamer then. My husband got me hooked on Everquest II six years ago when we had first started dating. Then he got me into pokemon (lol) on the DS and now I'm all about Diablo III. He forces me to try all these games (probably so he can play them without…

I don't have any photos, but here are my results: Current measurements in inches (total lost): Weight: 168 (-22) Neck: 13 (-1) Upper Chest: 37 (-3) Bust: 40 (-5) Midriff: 34.5 (-4.5) Upper Arm: 13 (-1) Waist: 34 (-5) Upper Hip: 38 (-4) Lower Hip: 40 (-5) Upper Thigh: 23 (-3) Calf: 13.5 (-1) Dress Size: 12 (my 12s are…

I loved workouts 11 and 12 because I can't believe I can actually get through them! I kinda wished I had tried them before I started the program so I could REALLY appreciate my progress. I love and hate Cardio 3. It's the biggest calorie burner of them all for me, but it is intense! Favorite exercise? I love butt kicks…
