Boo! Will miss you starting the threads!

@harieta‌ great feeling to be happy with the program. Makes all the effort seem more worthwhile.

After a 4 day sabbatical I am back on the Body Revolution fitness train! Work out done. Plus, it was way easier after a few days of rest.

@cbraun133‌ I agree! It's nice to have a virtual buddy. I hope the cold virus is out of your house! I am having to rethink my workout schedule though. The lack of sleep is getting to me. My hip is now healed up enough to run again so I think I'm going to do that on cardio days. Hopefully Jillian doesn't find out! I do…

Done except I skipped the DVD in favor of a run :smiley:

Totally agree with @Mellie289! Give your 100%. My first few weeks with the cardio my goal was to be able to continuously do the moves. I did not do as many in a minute as they did. Does that make sense? I kept moving but at a slower pace than the participants.

I always look at Anita and think her legs must be 4 feet long! It must make it tough to do some of the bend moves like the Statue of Liberty.

My second worst blood donation. I didn't fill the bag. They tried my right arm twice and my left arm once. And then it clotted off right away. Bummer. I was trying hard to do the right thing! The positive of it was my blood pressure keeps improving! It was 124/60. My personal best was two weeks before I got pregnant with…

@miriams76‌ I am amazed at your consistent results. Really excellent! @Mellie289‌ an inch off your waist in 3 weeks?! I would call those results!

I like Mimi for humor & admire Omar's ability to just kill it every time. I want to be Lana when I grow up. She has 3 kids!

Better effort than yesterday. Once I get my head into it I can do it.

Done. Cross jacks were less than graceful. I'll admit my head wasn't really in it this morning. Plan to give it better effort on Saturday.

@harieta‌ It is never to late to take pictures! I find them motivational when the scale is not moving or I feel like I am stalling. Take a pic, compare it to my starting point, & then I feel better. You don't have to show anyone. You will notice my strategic camera placement squarely over my face. Ha!

Done this morning! I was highly curious about the windshield wiper. Now I understand. Also overly proud of myself because I could do the plank rows. I don't know why but I felt confident after doing those!

A few super non flattering progress pictures. I started July 2014 when my youngest was 3 months old. The pictures should have my day 1 post Kelsey, day 1 Phase 1 of Body Revolution, and day 1 Phase 2 of Body Revolution. I think my gut is shrinking. I will be a success getting rid of the unflattering belly overhang!…

Difficult as usual. I felt ok until the last set of crabs. Then I was thinking "What? How? Ow!"

Great progress everyone! I did my measurements this morning as I start phase 2 tomorrow. I am so glad I did the full set of measurements when I started! Otherwise I'd feel like a failure right now. I usually lose off my navel (belly button) immediately. This time I didn't lose a thing there. Weight -2.4 lbs Upper chest…

Yeah for everyone feeling and noting progress! Isn't the motto something like "It takes 30 days to develop a habit?" We're there!

Done!

I misunderstood! Yes, the calories are still shown. Middle of the night calorie average is 1.1 per minute, standing at my desk is 1.2 calories per minute,when I am home chasing after small people it is 2.5 to 3.0 calories per minute, running is 11.0 calories per minute. When I am sleeping it is 1.1 by 1440 minutes per day…

I know! I don't feel like I have this phase really finished yet. It's still hard for me to do!

Finished this morning

Thanks for talking me through this! My average night MET is 0.9. It is the same for when I'm sitting at my desk at work. When I run it is 8.8 and when I do the Body Revolution program it is 4.6. Shouldn't it be about 1.0? Am I really that stagnant at my desk? I do more than sit completely still. The start and end time of…

I loved couch to 5K! I've done it after each of my pregnancies to get back into running.

Done. I wouldn't say I am bored but I am looking forward to a different cardio next week. I ca power through one more time!

Thanks for the input! @Jennbecca33‌ yes, that would be similar to what I am doing now :smiley: @heybales‌ yes, I still have the BML. How do I check the sensors? It never occurred to me to double check. I agree that 1961 or so has become TDEE. Frustrating. Suggestions on how to increase calories in a controlled fashion?…

Color me impressed! My highest weight is 8.
