That is such a cool calculator! I have been struggling with my diet for 8 weeks! I am doing the Jamie Eason's livefit trainer 12 week program. I haven't lost a thing! Most women my height are much smaller in weight. I have been trying to follow her diet (but not to a T). On the last few weeks she has us carb cycling! I am…

wow! That was a great article! Well deserved recognition for all your hard work! You look great and it shines through in your smile! Way to go! :flowerforyou:

Yep! I weigh daily! I am more fascinated by the fluctuations than frustrated. Of course..when I am on a 3 month or longer plateau...then heck yea! I get frustrated! I guess I had a friend tell me about her dad weighing daily...when the scale fluctuated a great deal (say 5lbs or higher), he knew to cut out the late night…

I know what you mean!! My average calorie burn is anywhere from 230 to 285 with her workouts...but my hr seems high. Can't remember exactly without having it here in front of me..but I know it has been as high as 180....which seems off the chart! I have wondered the same thing. Hoping when I log calories burned I am not…

Okay..so I am on Week 10..did the workout 9 again last night. Was really hoping some of those moves would be easier....DIVE BOMBERS??? Say what?? Still cannot get that one! I am thinking I would love to see a warrior 3 pose again! LOL.... I actually attempted to stay on the extended arm for the side planks pushups..and was…

this made me laugh!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: She may be glaring and smirking on all her photos on dvds...but I am still cussing her name while doing them!! LOL... Week 10 doing workouts 9 and 10~ almost done! Hang in there! You'll get results...she's a maniac :tongue:

Did the workout 7 again last night! Last week of these two! whoot whoot! @askthedust...I LOVE :heart: the plank work too! And the boat pose .....and last night was able to crank out a few of the crow push ups before dropping and a few of the leg lifted up before dropping. I am feeling it in my arms today! bwahahahha I am…

Right now doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution: Phase 2 of the program: Monday, Thursday workout 7, Tuesday, Friday workout 8, Cardio on Wed and Sat. Sometimes will walk 18 holes of golf or ride on the weekends. Really enjoying JM videos...can get 'em done in 35 min or less. Great calorie burn. Want to step it up a…

I really mix it up!! What can I say? I like variety :tongue: Some days...I will do the elliptical...some days the bike....others stair master! Nothing beats a run outdoors..but I can't do that anymore! Main thing for me is to keep my body guessing. I like the comments about curcuit training too. One time I made 4 little…

Back to workout 7 tonight...then plans are to complete workout 8 tomorrow! Game day tomorrow for the University I work! Will be in Prez box ...so lots of tempting foods and drinks there! It's all good! I rarely eat when I am working in the Prez box! I am really starting to feel the muscles in my arms pop! Anyone else? I am…

Last night was my first time doing wo7! It was a GREAT workout...almost psyched myself out because I was so nervous to do it. I too could not complete the entire crow pushups. Can only do a few then drop to the knees. I liked the star ups too! I didn't know the routine..so I hope I can up the intensity next time around. It…

Wonderful transformation! Way to go!

Had to reply to this one!! Isn't it AWESOME bonding time? My 15 year old daughter workouts with me too sometimes. I am doing the Jillian Michaels Body Rev (kinda like the p90x but with JM) and she has joined in several of my workouts! Like you daughter...she loves to the cardio dvds...and I like the other ones with weights…

That is SOOOO awesome and CONGRATULATIONS on your hard work! I love that magazine and cannot wait to get a copy...and kinda say "Hey....I know that girl"...makes me feel like I am rubbing elbows with a celebrity..ya know? Again..way to go! :flowerforyou:

Just have to bump for great recipes and awesome funnies on the page! LOL Lookout magic bullet!

I am still on workouts 5 and 6. You all keep making me nervous about 6 and 7! I am definitely feeling stronger! Scale not moving ....but I am not trying to focus too much on that! Keep up the great work everyone!

Wow!!! That is an amazing beautiful transformation....inside and out! Thanks for sharing! You're radiant!

Wow!! That is so awesome! How cool is that?? I can't imagine her yelling at me! I think I would accidently yell back at her like I do on her videos!! :laugh: And the new moves? donkey kick backs? Say what:noway: Fun times and great memories for sure!:drinker:

:flowerforyou: WE NEED AN UPDATE GIRL!! HOW DID IT GO?? Are you still moving?? ha ha..... How awesome was it????????? Inquiring minds wanna know :glasses:

This is so AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing! You rocked it! :drinker: I am just starting phase 2....(did RI30 for my phase 1)...and so far 5 and 6 seem easy to me. Skeered of weeks 7 and 8..but if I get results like you! It's all worth it! Way to go! :flowerforyou:

that is awesome! right now I use 5 lbs when she says "light" weights...and 8 lbs when she says "heavy". there are times I could definitely step it up a notch to 10 lbs if I had some handy...especially in the chest moves. I just seem stronger there. You guys are scaring me on the WO 7! Everyone is talking about how hard…

Hey Navy Bean...I will be starting Phase 2 this week. In any of her jumping moves...I just try to do a variation (even if it means staying on the ground) to avoid injury to the knees. I have had 5 knee surgeries...so I listen to that part of my body fairly well! I have kind of found that the squatting (and really…

Something similar happened to me. I HAVE the program...but when I stopped...I put PHASE 1 (without cardio 1 in it) somewhere "safe" and lost it. When I wanted to start over...searched the entire house...and couldn't find that sleeve a DVDs to save my life. I just went ahead and did Ripped in 30. I am really on my last week…

Fantastic! Great results so far! keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

That is awesome! I never could dunk!:ohwell: I did see one woman (way back in "my day") dunk a basketball....Peggy Cable from Clemson University. It was amazing! Unfortunately...I was the point guard on my college team and vertical jumps were never my thing. I would scrap you in a heartbeat for the ball though!:laugh: It…

You look great! Way to go!! :flowerforyou:

You sound just like me! It's the last 10 to 15 I keep struggling with....We are the same height basically (I am 5'51/2"...gotta get that extra 1/2 ' ya know). I have played around with calories/marcros/ eating clean/eating what I want but staying in goals/). Just bounces all over the place. I have not had my official BF…

Oh yes!! I have this...was running in a few 5ks and then BAM! End of March had the worse pain. I still cannot run anymore :sad: :sad: and I miss it so much! I have been sleeping in the boot every night since April. Do the stretches and wear the heel pads. I mainly workout with DVD's now...and can tell if I don't wear the…

thanks BiancoM! I was doing the BR awhile back and then fell off the wagon. So I remembered workouts 1 and 2 (and I do still have my Cardio 1 DVD)...never made it to 3 and 4. When I was geared up to doing it FOR REAL this time...couldn't find that sleeve of Phase 1! couldn't believe it. So..thought maybe if I did this..it…

I kinda have a question..so I am going to jump in here. I posted before..but didn't get too much of a response. I am doing JM Ripped in 30 right now. Have approx 1 week left. I have the BR...but stupid me...LOST the Phase 1 booklet. Yea..so lame I know. But I was hoping if I did the Ripped in 30..then I go into the Phase 2…
