I've done 30DS about 6 times in the last 2 years and every time Level 1 sucks after the time away from Jillian but every time I achieve the results that I'm looking for. I'm glad you settled on taking a couple of break days otherwise all 30 days back to back gets really unbearable (at least in my option)! Keep at it - the…

Thanks so much! Heading out to purchase honey!:happy:

I make this for myself and my two year old all the time and she loves it! Start with a rue ... depending on your dish size (this freezes well so I make large quantities so apologize for not having real measurements - I've been making this cheese sauce for over 10 years now and a pinch of this and that is my recipe...) so…

Just realized that our thread is now here :) Day 10 of Shred level 2 today!

Day 4 Level 2. Done and Done. Thank goodness....:ohwell:

I'm 27 and I've had a baby but I had a real problem with this prior to giving birth. Most of the advice that you've already heard really is the answer - kegal exercises are a must even if you didn't have a weak pelvic floor and bladder. Start doing them now! The practice of stopping your urine flow and holding it for 5-10…

Day 8 of Shred on to LEVEL 2, Day 3 with all of you :) Feel free to log me as Day 8, Level 3 as I started early because I already now I'll be missing days. And thank you!

Day 7...Day 2 with all of you. Shred will happen during afternoon nap time but I find committing to it here first helps me power through and really do it. Yesterday was a bit rough because I started shredding without realizing that I hadn't eaten anything more than my vitamins and 2 cups of coffee plus 2 glasses of water.…

Day 1 of 30DS with all of you Day 6 of Shred for me :) I'm a stay at home mom most days but I work about 10 days a month and will have to make do with hotel gyms and doubling up a couple of days. Today's shred will be coming during baby's afternoon nap. I don't know any of you, but I'm accountable to all of you. I think I…

I found an overall energy increase which was especially helpful for keeping up with a toddler. I noticed that overall I have more energy and less mood swings when taking the ultra mega but I don't know if that's mind over matter. :wink:

Count me in please! I started my third round last night and would love to stay motivated with you all :)

As much as it pains me to say this..May was a bust for me. I lost speed on BFBM and just never got back on the horse seriously. I hope that you all had more success and more motivation than me. I'll be doing my measurements at the end of the week since I'm starting my cycle and would rather not be discourage though it…

I'm an "anything salty" lover and I was still shocked to see that a small poutine from NY Fries has 710 calories...for a small!? Wow

I'm dealing with the same thing - I keep on changing my caloric intake thinking that is the issue...am I eating too much? Am I eating too little? I'm caught going between the 3lbs and it's driving me crazy. People have recommended that I invest in a heart rate monitor so that I really understand how many calories I require…

I'm in! I'll be doing a combo of Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism since I tried to do it for May and failed (here's hoping I feel more accountable this way) and 5k jogs plus baby stroller :) Starting week Start Date: May 23 Start Weight: 130 End Date: July 1 Goal Weight: 124 # of weeks: 6.5 # of weekly workouts: 4 Week 1 - Date:…

BFBM was pretty rough. I did manage to get through the whole video but it was a bit here, a bit there so I didn't track any calories since my heart rate wasn't really getting the full work out. We're in a heat wave here so I've been getting out for 5k jogs with 75lbs of baby stroller, baby, and baby gear in the mornings…

5lbs is amazing! Way to stick with it! You're helping to motivate me to really crack into Jillian tonight when the Baby goes to bed - enough excuses. I'm going to try and hold off on measurements until the end of the month but overall energy level is definitely up which is the grand scheme is what I really wanted to see.…

Good morning team jillian! I've just returned from a week of work - long flights, hotel rooms, eating out and Jillian and I have missed a couple (ekk) of dates! Bsck to it today! BFBM makes me miss 30DS...this is going to be rough... Hope you're all still keeping up the amazing work! We've hit the half way point and I'm…

I usually have to wait until the day that it finishes. But have you tried an iron supplement? Since taking mine it's helped with more than just bloating - while I may feel horrible I don't look it. Something to consider :)

Jillian Michaels does a 6 week 6 pack dvd which I have heard to be amazing and will be picking up for June. Realistically a flat stomach doesn't come without cardio so don't cut that out of your life in lue of ab routines, work them together. Also considering pilates as a means of stretching and cutting your ab muscles and…

I, too, am 5"4 and I've gone back and force with debating my goal weight. My lowest weight was 108lbs but I was more or less miserable, depressed and dealing with the death of my neice and found therapy in running - fast and often. I had friends and family step in with concerns that I had a disorder because I was a "00"…

Welcome welcome! Join on in! I didn't realize we had started another page of posting...I was about to come here and wonder if I was the only one - so excited to see that you're all making Jillian a part of your week through BFBM or other videos..it's awesome! Today is day 5 or 6 of BFBM...I can't remember :) I've managed…

My favorite jeans all come from American Eagle. At 5 feet you'll be able to find jean sizes in regular as well as petite inseams plus they have a bit of give to them. They do typically have a lower rise (but I've been told that the new spring styles aren't so low) but if you're looking for a higher rise the GAP would be a…

Day 2 of BFBM - I can definitely feel the metabolism boost after doing this video. But I'm having a hard time doing the full video at one sitting or standing or jumping or squatting if you will :) I was up early this morning to try and do BFBM before my daughter woke up and I only managed to get in 18 minutes - a solid 18…

I haven't had my body fat checked by a professional and I am in a healthy bmi range. I think part of the answer is investing in a heart rate monitor but in the mean time I was hoping to get off this plateau. From what I'm hearing is that I'm eating too few calories so hoping upping it by the 90 calories works in my favor…

Already May begins tomorrow so let's kick this off! I know that everyone has posted that they're be doing their own variations of BFBM so if it's something that works for you - giv'er. I'll be sticking with BFBM, adding in a Shred here and there and daily walks/runs. Here our my stats for this journey: Starting Weight:…

Awesome results - I know I'll be picking up 6x6 for June! I'm about to start BFBM and from the couple of times I tried to start it up I find BFBM to be way harder than 30DS which is exactly what I need to get this party started. Keep up the amazing work - you're an inspiration!

I use tzatziki in my tuna. It has more flavor and over all I find better for you. Don't go over board when mixing though! :)

I think that 125 for 5"2 is achieveable and maintainable. Being able to keep it up for the long haul really is the test of your goal so make sure to aim for something that still allows you room for sluggish days or holidays without making you feel like you're failing. I'm 5"4 and 108 was maintainable for me for a year but…

6 more days until BFBM! Who's ready? Who's scared? Who's excited? I'm scared and excited because I'm stuck looking at a scale that won't budge and needing this shake up but also scared because I don't know if I can do it and I don't know if I can fit in close to an hour of exercise with my daugther's current nap schedule.…
