I just want to complete ALL 90 DAYS!!! I hit a bump this week due to working a few doubles (I worked 11 shifts in 8 days), so I got behind by 2 workouts... I've just pushed my week back a few days... It may take me 100 days or more, but I want to complete the program... I started at 163 lbs. I'd like to hit 145 by the end.…

Oh my goodness, I usually have sweat dripping into my eyes by the end LOL! My mom was watching me do workout 4 the other day and laughing at me, telling me I reminded her of a camel... I get VERY into my breathing and have been known to spit... ha! Easy for her to laugh and tease as she sat on the couch WATCHING! Between…

I missed the last 2 workouts (not cardio) of Week 3... Today would be the day I start Week 4... soooo, should I back track and do the last 2 workouts of Week 3, possibly both today, cardio tomorrow... and resume on Saturday or... Just start Week 4 today and try to forget about missing the last 2 workouts of week 3, maybe…

I'm in the same boat completely... I have about 33 lbs to lose. I lost 5 lbs the first week but my weight has slowly crept back up. I am not following the meal plan. I keep telling myself that I'm doing all the right things... I also know to gain the 3 lbs the scale shows, I'll have had to eat 10,500 calories above and…

Ok, well, a few crazy overtime shifts at work this week combined with my daughter's birthday and some other troubles, has led me to fall off the wagon. I missed 2 workouts and a cardio (though I did do Zumba) Today should be Week 4, workout 3... but I'm technically back on Week 3, workout 3 (for the 2nd time of the week).…

I did Week 3, Cardio today... mid way point of the week and my everything hurts lol I'm glad today was cardio day (can't believe I said that!). How are you all doing this week?

Workout 3, in week 3, slightly kicked my butt! lol It was a step up and I enjoyed it, but I think I'll be hurting tomorrow lol I burned quite a few more calories (according to my HRM) on workout 3 than I did on workout 1 or 2 (75 to 100 more).

I did week 3, workout 3 today... ouch! I think my arms might make me suffer tomorrow lol I didn't preview it so it took me a few moments to figure out some moves (which is fine because I had to stop to catch my breath lol) I definitely felt it was a step up from the last 2 weeks... Ack... they were easy for me... today,…

Well, I was sad to see my weight go up 1 lb from last week. I know that I'm working hard and eating well though, so I'm on the right track. Knowing that, though, doesn't make it any less discouraging when I watch the scale go UP... I did Phase 1, Week 3, Workout 3 today... I honestly had to stop and take few second 'catch…

I usually shy away from these topics but now I'm confused too lol I have my weightloss set to lose 1 lb/wk. MFP has me at 1250 calories/day. But if my BMR is 1400 then you're saying I'm doing myself an injustice by keeping my net calories below 1400. Why does MFP set people to 1250 if that's harmful? I'm asking because…

I think it would definitely be a great choice, from my limited experience of 2 weeks with the program lol Since it's so new there aren't any full reviews that I know of, but I'm sure it would whip you into shape and definitely get you closer to your goals...

I'm a 31 yr old working mom of 5. I work in a juvenile correctional center and work nasty shift work. 7 and 8 day stretches, either 7am-3pm or 3pm-11pm, with overtime thrown on top, which is sometimes a night shift (lately I've been getting away with 1 overtime shift/wk as we're severely understaffed :o ) I want to get in…

I'm feeling great. I'm proud of myself for getting through these first 2 weeks and always feel wonderful after a workout. I'm on Week 2, day 5 and am ready to move on to week 3. I absolutely HATE cardio 1 and quite honestly would rather go for a run, but I figure they were made as a program for a reason so I may as well…

Woohoo! I'm so glad you all started this week and I can't wait to see your results! Congrats to all of you!

I, personally, did both of them one after another, as it's more productive for me. Get all gross and sweaty once, get the workout out of the way, and get on with the rest of my day... Also, with my shifts, I can't do morning and evening unless I'm on days off, so it's either am or pm for me. I still do cardio as extra on…

I'm sorry! I thought I replied to this? Darn computers... I wouldn't start it until after the wedding, if you'll have to take 2 weeks off. I would, however, order it now so you have it when you can start it and don't have to wait LOL! Maybe between now and the wedding you could do 30DS or Ripped in 30, if you're really…

I'm not following the eating plan but I'm still on track with exercising... I'll move on to workout 3 on Thursday. I haven't been able to double up on the exercise and add cardio as work and sick kids have had me running. On Monday and Tuesday I'm hoping to do both the workout and the cardio. Sore arms, eh? I'll keep that…

I'm half way done week 2 now... workout 1, 2, and cardio... feeling good, but my scale has stalled. Actually, went up 1 lb but that was after a big drop so I'm hoping that I'll see another big drop... I seem to be 2 steps forward, 1 step back through this weight loss and fitness journey. I'm feeling good though. I've been…

And, the Jillian Michaels thing.. get her DVD's if that's more your style and more do-able than hitting the gym or going for a walk! Best of luck to you in your journey!

This: And this: I'm a working mom of 5 young ones and trust me, I'd pay to be able to go back to the days of being a SAHM... I used to have every excuse in the book and now that I'm getting older and busier, I realize that I NEED to make time for myself. I'm not sure if your hubby is on board with you. If he is, great,…

I almost always pop my popcorn in advance... Mind you, I also thoroughly enjoy left over movie theatre popcorn, a day or two later, even more so than when it's fresh lol

I'm in Manitoba... have lived in Ontario and BC though :)

I haven't watched workout 3. The only other workouts I've watched are 11 and 12 lol Thanks for the heads up... 1 more week and I'll get to see what you mean lol How are you feeling with the workouts now?

I was so glad she came out with this program. I seriously, seriously considered p90x but kept putting it off as I really couldn't see myself committing to that much time every day. It's an 'excuse' but with 5 kids, 2 step kids on weekends, a full time job involving shiftwork, well, I think they're 'valid' excuses lol Half…

They say the workouts will have higher impact as the weeks progress. I'd see if I could modify as many of the cardio moves as possible to have lower impact. There's so much more to her cardio than just running on a treadmill, as far as body sculpting goes. I miss my treadmill runs though, so I'm doing the cardio debate…

I did Week 2, Workout 1 this morning. I still think I'll be up for some cardio later (I'm trying to get extra cardio in when I can). I'm missing running so I might do that instead of the cardio DVD BUT the DVD is made to go with this program and promote weight loss while on this program so it may be more effective for me…

I'd also like to try these!

I've added you. I'm a 31 year old working mom of 5. Anyone else can feel free to add me. I joined MFP a while ago but only got serious about losing weight in November after looking at vacation photos and crying. I've lost almost 22 lbs with another 33 to go and I'm 5'3".

I definitely think I have to try this one!

I'm in Canada and ordered mine on January 30. Received it on February 14th :) My tracking number never worked the confirmation emails were weird. They double charged me but finally, today, 3 weeks after being double charged, they tell me they've refunded my credit card and I should see it in 2-5 business days.
