I did 30DS twice and lost THIRTY POUNDS!!! I did it Monday - Friday and spent two weeks on each level. I did my best on the parts that were hard and they eventually got easier. The first time around I was Anita and the second time I was Natalie! It is a tough but great program. Stick with it and you will see great changes!

I did both workouts the first week my first time around. I completed my 90 days the beginning of Sept, took a week off, and just started over. This time I am only going to spend one week on each level. I built a lot of muscle the first time around and I am shocked by how much easier it is now! I did not do the diet, but I…

Too funny! I made myself a sticker chart for JM Body Revolution. I counted out 90 stickers and each time I completed a workout, I gave myslef a sticker on the chart. Watching them disappear was very motivating. Everytime the workouts were really tough, I focused on the empty space on my chart and that got me through it! I…

Just finished day 4! (For the second time around!) I am glad to join you!

:drinker: C'mon, guys! Coffee isn't so bad! I use fat free creamer and no additional sugar. I am sorry but I cannot, WILL NOT give it up. Not even for a day! I will challenge myself to no Starbucks that week though! I usually treat myself on Fridays. (Yes, I know how many calories are in those!) :embarassed: I think the…

I finished a couple weeks ago and started over on Friday. I am only going to spend one week on each level so that I finish in 6 weeks. I plan to just keep repeating this. I had great results, but I want more! It is amazing how much easier it is this time around. I can tell that I really got a lot stronger. Stick with it,…

Cardio 1 is a total piece of cake after finishing cardio 3! I am surprised by how much stronger I am. I took 2 weeks off and still it is not too bad at all.

Workouts 1 and 2 were SO much easier this time around! I barely broke a sweat. I am sore today from WO 1 though. I think I like the idea of repeating the program over and over but only spending one week on each level. This way I can get a rest with out taking a "break" from working out. I will stay in the routine, but not…

Early Christmas - I want to buy myself a sexy dress to wear to the Marine Corps ball with my husband in mid-November. I usually wear "Mother of the Bride" style dresses and this year I want to look HOT! I can meet this goal by getting a dress in a size 4 and I need to lose belly fat so it's not snug. I usually don't have…

What kind of diet are you talking about? Where did you find this diet? If it is too restrictive, do something else.

I don't think you guys should be rude to her over this question. I am 5'2" and when I was 17 I weighed about 105. I am now 33 and weigh 127. I EASILY have more than 10 pounds to lose to be toned and healthy. She is not anorexic because she doesn't want to weigh 117. She is asking how to increase calories without gaining…

I should probably stop eating (drinking)...EVERYTHING AT STARBUCKS!!! I have about three delicious coffee drinks a week! 400 calories that could be better used on something else!

So after finishing, I have taken a horrid break. I have a hernia (which I think I have had for years but now that I lost so much belly fat, it is visible). I am seeing a surgeon in two weeks and I have been using this as an excuse to "take it easy". I feel myself turning into jello. My hard muscles are going away. I am…

Any group that comes with a spreadsheet is a group for me!!!!

My name is Autumn and I am a 32 year-old teacher, mother, and wife. I began my journey in February and have lost 36 pounds so far. I recently completed Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and need something to keep me motivated. I am more interested in toning up than losing pounds at this point.

I'm not sure I can complete "no coffee"! :drinker:

What did you do in WO 6 that resulted in an injury?

I actually thought I WAS eating healthy. My favorite salad at Chili's has over 1200 calories and I would order it with EXTRA DRESSING!!! Even things I thought were good for me were really terrible. Now I check my calorie counter app before I go anywhere!

RESULTS ARE IN!!!! Starting weight was 134 ending weight was 127. Measurements were: Upper chest 34 - 33 Bust 36.5 - 35 Midriff 31 - 29.5 Upper Arm 11.5 - 11 Waist 32.5 - 29 Upper Hip 37.5 - 36.5 Lower Hip 38.5 - 37 Upper thigh 21 - 21 Mid thigh 21 - 21.5 Calf 14 - 14 Dress size 8 - 4 It might take me a couple more rounds,…

Only two workouts to go - I will go ahead and post my results for you! I have never had luck with pictures before, but here goes! Messed with the pictures several times and they are good enough! Starting weight was 134 ending weight was 127. Measurements were: Upper chest 34 - 33 Bust 36.5 - 35 Midriff 31 - 29.5 Upper Arm…

ALMOST done!!! Only three workouts left! I think I am going to start over and just do one week of each level (WO 1, WO 2, Cardio 1 for a week, then WO 3, WO 4, Cadio 1 for a week...) I did get great results but I still have a ways to go. I guess it was not realistic to think I would look like the girls on the video after I…

I am on week 11 of Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. This is a 90 day program with 15 DVD's. The days are set-up so that you work the front of your body, then the back of your body, then cardio, repeat this and then a rest day. Each workout is about 35 minutes long. The cost was around $150 and it also comes with a…

It is amazing - everywhere I go people tell me how thin I look. I am not looking for frumpy, baggy clothes to hide my body. I am looking for clothes that show it off! I am CONSTANTLY rubbing my shoulders and bicepts because I cannot believe how muscular they are. I made myself a sticker chart when I began my revolution. I…

I have officially done ALL of the DVDs. There is no more unknown and that feels great! I have added "wheel push-ups" to my bucket list. Those were tough. I really enjoyed the ab workouts in 11 and 12. My quads were already sore from yesterday and I know tomorrow they will be really unhappy with me! My daughter told me I am…

Best way to prep...I'd say practice push-ups and work on cardio. The first week you do two workouts a day. That will get you in shape fast. As far as the diet, I did not follow the meal plan. The book says it is 1200 calories a day so that is what I stuck with. I am a picky eater and it has stuff like squid in it. Not for…

I think you should be able to get back into it if you only missed a couple weeks. Since I started phase 3, I have lost three pounds. I feel like I am working really hard for that little bit of weight loss. It is so important to look at the overall picture. It is NOT about the scale! I am in a size 4!!! That is so…

My two year old loves suicide runs! We often argue over weights so I had to get her some one-pounders of her own. She is always eager to exercise but mostly just gets in my way so I have to fit workouts in after she goes to bed at night. If you are looking for active play to do together, try tag. My daughter would play tag…

New goals (hopefully will be reached in round 2 of JMBR) - Hallow man/boat pose with good form Pigeon Squats without tipping over Hold a solid Half moon Rock and Roll crunches with no arms to get up off the floor Dive Bombers with really good form Touch my nose on my knees during cool-down

"You can do the pigeon squats if you believe" - I must not have believed it enough becuase after two weeks I am still falling over! Maybe I will master them in round 2 of JMBR!

Haven't posted for a while but I am still at it. I am starting week 10. Just did WO9 tonight and it was tough. I think it is kind of like childbirth - you forget how bad it was immediately after it is over. I can't even think of what moves were so awful but I know some were! I only have to do it one more time though! That…
