That's amazing! You'll have tackled the "Body Revolution" beast! I'm sure there's a bit of sadness in ending; I know I'll be. I'm going to try and just jump right into another round of Body Revolution. If not, maybe I'll do some sort of quicker 30-day program, like 30-day shred or something. I'm too scared to let myself…

I just realized I haven't posted since Sunday. Oh boy! I'm sure a part of that is because my eating has NOT been on track this week. I'm not sure what my problem is, but I have just been making the wrong choices. What I have been doing is my workouts. I have not missed one! Unlike last week, though, I have not added any…

I'm in week 6 and all of this talk is making me scared for what I'll be presented with in Monday! Gotta love a challenge :frown:

Not sure what the he11 is wrong with me. I continued to make poor choices since yesterday. It's not like I'm sitting around feeding my face, but I didn't bring my lunch to work today, so I got a panini in the cafeteria at work. I got a bagel from breakfast. Last night I had chinese food. I know a day or two is not going to…

I haven't gotten to the point of yelling at her yet...I'm normally thinking about yelling to myself...lol. I'm in week 6 and I still struggle with form on a number of exercises. Today, my balance was lame while doing Statue of Liberties...I hate when I lose my balance!! I really need to learn to be mad at her versus…

I use 10s, but I cannot bring my arms all of the way back to the floor on the way back down....I think I would pull my shoulder out...lol. I like the crunching with heavier weights, so my goal now is to get lower to the ground when I come down each time. I actually was shocked I was able to crunch up the first time I did…

I'm in week 6. My advice is, no matter what, just push play every day (except for your rest day). Remember to do "your best" and not to feel bad if you can't do the moves exactly how the individuals do in the video. In fact, I would just keep a conscious eye on what you can and can't do and then watch for how much stronger…

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and advice. My day hasn't been "perfect", but I know we all have days like this (perhaps it's good to allow yourself some indulgences once in a while). I have to remember that people who who live healthy lives and maintain a healthy weight also have times when they indulge in something…

Wow...awesome!!

Good luck! I look forward to hearing your review :). I started week 6 this morning...so I'm just a week away from workout 7...

Week 5 is over...I've lost 17 lbs so far. I weighed myself on Saturday and lost 1.1 lbs and when I weighed myself this morning, my weight was back to what it was last week. Considering I'm now bloated due to time of the month, I'm going with yesterday as my weigh-in (I need that for my motivation). Overall, I'm excited to…

Considering I'm now bloated due to time of the month, I'm going with yesterday as my weigh-in. Overall, I'm excited to do workouts 5 & 6 next week…

To your original question, what keeps me going is that I know this will work. I continue to remind myself of how much I've changed in just 5 weeks and how much more I could and will change in 5 more weeks and another 5 weeks, and so on. I remind myself why I'm doing this program (leaning on Jillian's motto that if you have…

I can't remember here I read it, but someone from this board reached out to Customer Service regarding the replacement green cable. At that time, additional stock of the black adjustable caable that should have been a part of the set was in and Customer Service sent the person the right cable. I would reach out to Customer…

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I have not considered quitting (yet, that is...I've only just completed week 5...lol). Generally, these boards have contributed to my focus and commitment, for sure. Community is such an important part of a program like this.

Week 5 is almost over. Last workout (cardio 2) is in the books. I didn't go to yoga today (ran out of time this morning). My family and I will be walking in tomorrow's March for Babies walk in memorium of my baby angel born at 23 weeks (in 2009) and in celebration of my 2 year-old son, who was 10 weeks early. The walk is…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH...that's one of my favorite poses from my yoga practice. Something to look forward to in workout 10!

Week 5 is almost done! I completed workout 6 for the second time and liked it much better. I felt stronger than the first time and had better form. I actually liked the interval with Statue of Libertys, Chop Lunges and Running Man. I think that was my favorite...lol. I'm still certainly not at their level in terms of range…

O.k., it's funny...I haven't yelled at her yet...lol. Maybe that's healthier than getting frustrated with myself. I'm going to start swearing like a sailor at her...lol. It's definitely a love/hate relationship. I have found myself physically pointing at her or some of the people in the video when they are talking directly…

So excited for you! Can't wait to hear your overall thoughts!

Daisy, I am totally with you. In my opinion, some of her combinations are more challenging to get down. For example, I'm used to the punching combo of: Jab, cross, hook, uppercut. Chalene uses this alot in the Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire series. Jillian has one where the four are in a different order and it was VERY hard for me…

I felt like the 1 & 2 were deceptively easy, if that makes sense. I think that's why she recommends the Kickstart week schedule. You jump in with "doable" workouts, but two of them each day (for me, I didn't do 2 cardio workouts on the cardio days). The 2nd week is just single workouts, allowing you to "recover" a bit and…

I guess it's not as catchy to say it's a "91 day" program...lol.

I'm Type A, too, so I totally get it. If it were me, I would start over. I'm very driven by the schedule and the completion of each milestone (e.g., phase). For me, it would feel better to be able to say I completed the program as it was constructed. In my last 90 day program (Power 90), in addition to finishing, one of…

I'm finishing up week 5, but know that you'll have tons of support in this group. I loved reading ahead about workouts as others have posted them. If you like Jillian Michaels, you'll love this program! The key is consistency in eating and workout out and you will see results. Some people aren't seeing a lot of results on…

Thanks! Congrats on finishing Phase 1! You'll like Phase 2 (I'm only 4 days in, but I now think it's great)...it adds just enough challenge to be doable :). Running men comes back, but for just one cardio interval in workout 6...it somehow felt almost too easy, if that's possible...lol.

Week 5, Day 4...workout 5 for the second time is in the books. I got a MUCH better workout this time. I think this was due to a number of reasons (hip flexor is healed, feeling stronger, am familar with the moves). I certainly was not perfect by any means with form. Those darned wood choppers still allude me, but I tried.…

LOL...I know, isn't it annoying when someone says they love something that makes you want to hurt people...lol. I did Workout 5 for the second time this morning and it felt much better. I was able to push harder with better form, which resulted in a better workout. Still not in love with wood choppers, but I WILL conquer…

My plan is to jump right back into another round of JMBR. Because I do not feel like I've "perfected" each workout before the schedules dictates you move on, I think I'll have an opportunity to become even stronger with another round.

LOVE a good check-in thread :drinker: I'm in Week 5, completed Day 4 this morning (Workout 5). As I've shared in prior posts, I'm just loving this program. I add some additional exercise here and there, based on energy level and time. This week, I've had a bit more time and, so far, have done JM's Fast Fix workout…
