https://www.fitbit.com/user/2YHP9M Please feel free to add me as well! New to Fitbit and could use some friends for challenges!

I would love to join as well! Please add me.

I re-started on 1/21/14, so today is my L1D2. Feel free to add me!

Hey! I am on Day 3, Week 1. Feel free to add me for support!

Yesterday was my day 1, level 1 and I worked out after 9:00 pm. I am sore today but it has not been as bad as I thought I would be. And, to be honest, I am quite out of shape and have not exercised in a while. So, I will say go for it tonight! There is no better moment than right now! I am planning to workout in the…

Hi everyone! I started today - my DVD arrived just in time! I moved to a different state within the last month and decided it was a great time to make lasting and positive changes in my life, especially as far as relationships with diet and exercise are concerned! I lost almost 15 lbs since the beginning of the year, but I…

I have also been thinking about extending each Phase by one week. I have a lot of weight to lose and won't reach my goals by the end of 90 days, so a few extra weeks seem reasonable. Erin & Gatorgirl, are you guys set on longer Phases?

I also started 1/23/13. I will be happy to share the journey with you! And anyone else - send me a friend request, as I am usually not consistent in being active in the forums.

How has your Week 1 been, everyone? My weigh-in day is tomorrow; I am curious how you have done! Wanna share? I will post mine in the am.... I have been feeling ok; not as sore as expected. I had to alter the workout schedule and made Friday my day off. Today I am doing Cardio 1, and I am moving to Week 2 workout tomorrow.…

Hello everyone! I started yesterday with the Kickstart Week, and today is my Day 2. I am following the diet for this week, and have been working out just once a day yesterday and today. Actually, I am just eating dinner and getting ready to do Workout 2 in a few. I will try, however, to workout twice per day per her…

I think that most people track both as "general circuit training." You can also do a custom exercise and use a heart rate monitor. If you have a heart rate monitor, this is the preferred method, since the measurement will be more accurate. The MFP tracker may overestimate your burn a little.

I am starting, too! I will do the kickstart week (aiming to follow both the JM's diet and 2 workouts per day). I did not go grocery shopping today, though, so tomorrow's breakfast will be slightly "off." I will do my best to make it healthy and tackle the first workout shortly afterwards. I am sending a friend request. For…

I will be starting on Monday (optimally), Tuesday or Wednesday. I have been sick the last few days and have to see how quickly I recover. Count me in!

Please add me. I am in!!!

I had to work till very late the last two days and did not send the message with my loss. Sorry about that! I lost 3.4 lbs this past week. Actually, that was my loss till Monday (my weigh-in day). I will do my best to remember to send you a PM next week!

I am soon-to-be 37 in December, married for 10 years, and no kids by choice! And, happy this way! Currently doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution; add me if you want to!

I am just finishing up my Kickstart week. I tried to follow the meal plan, and it is satisfying. I did not feel hungry a lot, just immediately before meals, especially in the morning. I did enjoy most of the dishes that I prepared, and I pretty much cooked for the entire week on Sunday night. I do agree, it is detoxifying;…

So much work to do over the weekend and not enough time! I do hope to exercise, though, and do "healthy" grocery shopping for the week. Next weekend will be much more fun, as I have social plans both Saturday and Sunday! Yay, can't wait!

Welcome aboard, everyone! Thank you for your friend requests! Keep them coming :)))) I am not a huge fan of Cardio 1 either, especially when I am doing the kickstart week, in which you do it every day and on Wednesdays and Saturdays twice a day. I am so glad it is only 26 minutes! The worst for me is the running man, maybe…

Hi Nanana2: Friend request sent! I just started on Monday, so I am not much further than you are. I am doing the kickstart week and trying to follow Jillian's diet. As you, I would love to have instant results, but unfortunately the instant ones do not stick around. Slow and steady seems the way to go. I think JMBR should…

For JMBR Cardio workouts, it is usually up to 250 (e.g., yesterday in the evening it was 204 and this morning 225 for the same workout), and for the remaining ones usually somewhere between 250 and 325. Some of the workouts are shorter than others, so I assume that will also account for the difference in calories burned.

You're welcome, any time. I bought Polar FT4 from http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com. They are right now $65 and have free shipping. They have specials from time to time, and I think I got mine on sale. I am pretty happy with it. It does what I need it to do. They also have less expensive FT1 and FT2, and more expensive…

I have been using a HRM that I purchased relatively recently, and when I compared calories burned on HRM to "circuit training, general" calories calculated by MFP, I found out that MFP substantially overestimates the amount burned. For me, the difference was even as much as 150-180 cals per 30 minute workout. I would…

I am restarting as of today, too, with the kickstart week! I started a while back in April (I think), but it was too much for me to follow JMBR and study for the Bar exam. I am a terrible emotional eater, and studying and stressing over my studies has been by far the worst trigger for me. I just took the Bar last week, did…

I'm in!!!! I am just restarting Jillian Michaels Body Revolution with the kickstart week; wish me luck!!!! I have a lot of weight to lose, and I am done with all my excuses, like studying for the Bar! The Bar exam is soooooo last week! Boy, that sounds great! I need something to focus on until I get the results on 9/18, so…

I think it does not matter whether it is morning or afternoon as long as you work out every day as scheduled. I personally find afternoons more doable, also, as I like to sleep in in the morning. If I work out in the afternoon, that helps me control the amount of food I eat in the evenings.

This is so exciting! I am so pumped up to start tomorrow! Let's have a strong kickstart week! My old new life, here I come!

Hi everyone! I am also starting JMBR tomorrow with the kickstart week. I am so excited!!!! I will do my best to follow her eating plan, at least initially.... Feel free to friend me! I joined MyFitnessPal very recently and I don't have a lot of friends yet!

Hi everyone, I will be starting the 30 Day Shred later this afternoon. I have ordered the 90 day program - JM Body Revolution but it appears I will not be receiving it for another 2-3 weeks. So, I decided to do the 30 Day Shred before it arrives. If I have good results with the shred, I will stick with it for 30 days…
