I started last Thursday (6/4) again. However, this time I am using the 21 Day Fix nutrition plan but with Body Revolution workouts. I don't know about anybody else but I found myself eating the same recipes on Jillian's eating plan, usually the ones that were the easy to make with the fewest ingredients where I didn't have…

I thought I'd share what I had for dinner on Friday night--a sardine sandwich! I know it sounds gross but if you like tuna sandwiches it's not really any different. In fact, I actually liked it better than tuna. I hadn't used a bunch of my containers for the day so I was looking for a quick way to use them up. Anyway,…

Hi all! I just joined this group today, which I'm calling day 3 of the fix (I started with the diet Tuesday but didn't exercise that day so I called it day 0). I am thinking of getting a heart rate monitor to better monitor my workout burn and I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions of ones you've used and…

If you're worried, try canned salmon or sardines. I don't notice that much of a difference when I make salmon salad as opposed to tuna salad. Sardines are a bit fishier tasting than canned tuna but they are a small fish so you don't have to worry about the mercury problem and I think they would do well as a replacement.…

Depends on which activity you're talking about that Amsterdam is famous for. Apples are better for the other thing...

It will be kind of a pain but juice each thing separately and measure how many oz of each type of juice you have and try entering it into your diary. I don't know how many different kinds of juices they have values for. If they don't have values for a particular type of juice maybe you can find it somewhere else online and…

You are right about this. For me too the issue in gaining weight was too much alcohol consumption and making really poor food choices because of it. It wasn't really the amount of calories of food I was eating but the types, and plus the calories from the alcohol of course didn't help. Anyway, back to your point about it…

Nice work! Is that Manhattan Beach in your after picture? I swear I recognize that house.

Awesome! Congratulations. This was one of the reasons I started as well. I took my blood pressure a couple of months ago and it was way too high. I haven't taken it again yet to see if it has come down at all. I think I'm gonna wait until I lose a bit more.

Do you feel like you lost enough through the first two phases only doing the cardio you're currently doing? At first I didn't think it would be enough either but I'm seeing good results so far so I haven't added in any extra cardio yet. My plan is to finish the program as is and then assess when I get to the end. I will…

Congrats and keep up the good work!

I don't know about blackstrap molasses (sorry) but I've heard a good way to sneak some extra iron in is to cook with cast iron pans.

:laugh: It has chest hair!

I have found this so far with the workouts. I thought 2 was easier than 1. I thought 4 was easier than 3. I find 6 is easier than 5. I guess for me the muscles we work in the 2nd workouts of each set of videos must be stronger. So I'm guessing I will find 8 easier than 7 and so on.

I guess I would say just try it for the first week and if you find you are just too exhausted you could either do JMBR on your rest days from the boot camp (if you have any) or just shelve it and come back to it when you are done with the boot camp. Jillian will understand, it's for a good cause! :wink:

Great job! I'm on videos 5 and 6 right now. I've been doing my measurements as well and noticed yesterday that I had actually gained 1/2 inch in my calf :grumble: I want them more toned but not bigger! Did you notice any of your measurements go up and then go back down, maybe when you lost more body fat or something? My…

What are the details of your bootcamp? Is it everyday? How long is each session? Will you have time to do both? I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do both if you have the time. I notice a lot of people on here are doing JMBR in conjunction with other programs. Since Jillian's workouts are so short it seems like you…

I'm still on workouts 5 and 6. You're scaring me! How does it compare to 5 and 6? I'm finding those hard enough!

Ha

Damn, you beat me to being the first April 9th poster by 6 minutes! :drinker:

OMG I HATE PLANK TO CRESCENT! Don't feel discouraged about repeating week 4. I did the same thing. Actually, I did it with weeks 1-2 as well. I did weeks 5-6 videos last week for the first time as well as cardio 2 even though it was actually my 7th week on the program. I feel like it takes me the first week of doing the…

I actually started week 5 last week but I was really in my 7th week of the program. I did the kickstart and decided to do weeks 1 and 2 for two more weeks after that. Then I did weeks 3-4 for 3 weeks as well because it feels like it takes me the first week of doing the new videos just to get used to doing the moves and…

Read most of the first one but got bored. Maybe I should finish it?

This. But be careful and read your labels. Not all Greek yogurt brands are created equal. I bought some Greek Gods brand and opened it and thought to myself, "hmm, this looks just like regular yogurt" even though it said it was Greek style. I looked at the label and sure enough it only had one more gram of protein than the…

I went to Vegas at the beginning of this month. I worked out one day while I was there but not the other 3. I gained 5 lbs. However, at my weigh in the next week I had lost it all and was back to the weight I was before I went. Just go back to what you were doing before and you should be fine.

:laugh:

I love that this was posted at 7:30 am (PST) ! My drink is vodka with sparkling water and juice of half a lemon. Sometimes I throw jalapenos in there. I don't like sweet drinks though so for most it's probably kind of too sour. :drinker:

:drinker: New season filming!

I personally wear a pair of cut-off jean shorts under everything. Of course I'm a never-nude so....:wink:

I think you kind of need the free weights. I've only done through video 4 but I don't see how you would modify some of the exercises to use only resistance bands. Can you use cans or water bottles or something in place of traditional free weights?
