Thank you all for your help!! Chrisdavey, the above helps me out tremedously!! :bigsmile: I had a glass of choc soy milk after my workout this morning, and plan on picking you some protein powder this weekend, and mixing it with fruit/oatmeal and having half before, half after, like you suggested. I am going to try this…

That is funny you posted this...I purchased the BBL last yr, did it for a month, and stopped. I was a bit heavier then, and honestly, felt like I needed something "more" to get me going. That said, I recently started exercising regularly the past few months, and have been doing Jillian Micheals, most recently Ripped in 30.…

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I am glad some of you said you don't eat before the workout, b/c that is what I would like to do, but I keep hearing "eat something before working out!" I really like the idea of the protein shake or low fat choc soy milk! Would it be ok if I did the protein shake or milk after my…

I do a cheat meal on Sundays. We go out to lunch with friends every Sunday, so that is my cheat meal. I still try to get something decent and not go crazy, and always try to make sure I am within my alotted calorie intake for the day. I have done a cheat day before, not because I wanted to, but because we weren't home all…

I voted! Good luck to her!

You might try ordering it from Amazon or some place like that. I found mine at Target and picked it up right away because it was always out everywhere I went (Target, Walmart, etc). I got the last copy in stock at Target, thankfully, or I was going to go home and order it! I have done it once, and I really liked it. I am…

LMAO!! Yes indeed! Well Ladies, I decided to get a little crazy today and switched it up a bit. Didn't do Ripped, but did Jackie Warner's Power Circuit Training, then finished with JM Banish Fat. Oh yeah, THAT was a workout!! Keep up the great work Ladies!!!

Level 4 does seems to go by fast! I agree with you too about that plank move where you jump side to side. I like most of the plank moves now, just not this one!

I HATED the plank position when I started out. My arms would shake and it was so difficult for me. Now, I LOVE it! I know it's weird to say that, but I am so much stronger now and no more shaking, and I feel so strong when in the plank position now! Keep it up and your endurance will greatly improve!

I have Ripped in 30, Banish Fat, NMTZ, Yoga Meltdown and 6wk 6pk, and would recommend them ALL!! My current favorite is Ripped, which is JMs newest one. It will def get you toned in a short amount of time. You can purchase them off Amazon or Target has them in the store for $9 for each one, and $12.99 for 6wk 6pk. I say…

Yes, I am on week 4, and it seems as though week 4 is "easier" than week 3, for lack of a better word. Those bear crawls are killer, but for some reason, I loved doing them! I think b/c I could feel it so much in my thighs, and thats where I need the most work!

Great job so far! I was thinking of purchasing the JM weight set also. Though I want to lose another 13lbs, I have noticed as I am doing this dvd, I don't think I am too worried about the lbs anymore, but more so the toning and definition, which I think has always been my problem to begin with. I tend to carry all my…

Hahaha! Yes, I am still alive, but week three is insane, and I think a bit tougher than week 4, IMO. Jillian moves way faster in week three, and starting week three and four, you see the Jillian that we all know from TV, the "loud and in your face" Jillian. I am dripping sweat when I am done with it, and I find myself…

I am currently on level 4 day 3....and oh my goodness, it is killer! Good luck to everyone!

I feel your pain. I hear things all the time at work, esp. with the type of food I'm eating.. "Eww, what's that? It smells funny" While they are shoving McDonalds in their mouth. Jealousy, that is all it is. It used to make me mad, but I realize now they are making those comments to make themselves feel better b/c they do…

I alternate between salad with grilled chicken on it, and pita bread with turkey and spinach. I also like a side of fresh fruit and cottage cheese. Yummy and filling!

Awesome! Way to go! This morning, I was able to zip and button a pair of my old favorite jeans that I haven't been able to wear for a yr! whoohoo! NSV are such a great feeling! Congrats to you and keep up the good work!

Welcome! You may add me as well!

I used to deal with the same thing on a daily basis at work. There is only one other co-worker who recently started on WW and all the others eat fast food everyday. Every time I heat up my food, or come out the kitchen with it, someone says "Oh, what's that,? it smells funny." I used to just answer them and go eat, but I…

Welcome! Feel free to add me! We could alway use more motivation!

I have the extreme circuit training one as well, and I agree, Jillian is more of a workout for me. I am currently doing Ripped in 30, and it is killer! Once I complete this though, I plan on incorporating Jackie into the mix again.

Week two is insane as well! Watch as Shelly (in the back) has a tough time getting through the workout. It really makes me feel like I am getting a great workout. Today is my last day on week two....tomorrow is week three..ahhhhhhhhh!!

MMMMM! This sounds so yummy! Thin cut pork chops and veggies for me tonight!

I have this DVD and I am currently on day 3 of week two, and I love it! Jillian does a great job of explaining proper technique, and I actually love how in the second week, you see Shelly (one of the girls in the back) having a hard time with some of the exercises. Makes me feel like I am really getting a kicka$$ workout!…

OMG....peanut butter is my downfall! What do you use to subsitute it? I am thinking of trying almond butter.

Most mornings I have multi-grain cheerios with 1/2 banana in it and cocunut milk beverage with it. Some days I have two whole grain tortillas with egg whites and mango salsa. Both are so yummy and filling also.

I feel the same way about Old Navy. The clothes there actually fit me much better when I was thinner. Now, I don't like the way any of the pants fit me. I still buy some shirts there though. I really like Kohls and NY & CO. I have noticed shopping at more of a "Woman's Store", the clothes fit much better than say Old Navy,…

I love the Shred, I've been doing this as well but not everyday. It's too hard on my knees. I just ordered her new Ripped in 30 days. Looking forward to starting that next week. [/quote] I started week two of Ripped in 30 yesterday, and it is insane! The girls behind her even have trouble with some moves, which actually…

Thanks for the advice about the Fage yogurt! I tried that about a week ago and gagged! I heard it was really good, like a sweet dessert, but I couldn't stand it. I think I will try mixing it, and maybe I will like that, Thanks!

Sounds good to me! Im having a terrible time at weightloss, but have lost 2.5 in. around my waist, which is better than nothing! The one girl (Shelly, I think) in the video, who does the modifications, has some killer thighs! Jillian def does a great job of encouraging you to keep going!
