I am starting tomorrow, this will be my second time through... I completed it last May, but now I haven't exercised in a few weeks so it will be hard!

I have been in the same situation, and here are some things that have worked for me: 1. drinking only water, it cuts down the expense for flavored drinks I didn't need anyway. 2. Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred (and some of her other workouts, but start with this one.) It was about $8 on amazon, and AMAZING results! 3.…

Just awesome! I have seen you on a lot of the same forum thread that I am on, and you always inspire me! GREAT JOB! Can I ask, different people on here have different versions of "Lift heavy" and I am just curious about your story- when you started lifting, what did you start with, and how have you progressed since then?…

bump!

You look great! Keep going! I am halfway through my second time through Body Revolution, and it is a GREAT program... VERY hard!!! I have gained SO much strength with it! Good for you!

So, Dawn, where did you get it for $35? I am interested but don' t want to pay a lot!

I work out at home.... Jillian Michael's dvds are my staple, day in and day out for a year. I have done her 30 day shred, Ripped in 30, and 90 day Body Revolution multiple times, they are great! Whatever you choose, you DEFINITELY can do this just working out at home! Good luck!

I am on my second round of Body Revolution, completed my first 90 day Body Revolution at the end of May. I saw great results in terms of gaining strength! I have not lost a ton, but that is probably because I have been losing slower as time goes on and i've been at this a year. I maybe lost 5-10 pounds during body…

I have hypothyroidism, and while it is harder to lose weight, I have lost 38 pounds this past year, and still going :) I started just by tracking all my foods on here and doing Jillian's 30 day shred. I have continued Jillian Michaels's workouts, they are great, very challenging and I can do them because they are only…

bump to print later! :)

Yeah, 11 is HARD. After 11 & 12, I was just really glad there was not a 13!

That is so awesome! GOOD WORK!!! You look fantastic!!! :)

That's great to do it as an average! I set my TDEE off a 28 day average of right around 2000, but obviously today was way high. The average method you are talking about appeals to me, because then I don't need to do all this jumping through hoops and eating late in the evening to compensate for a high burn. Thanks! Jen

I've pretty much decided to do Body Revolution again, this time focusing on pushing the "up button" in everything. I am going to increase weights and also try to approach it more like HIIT, so going "all out" for half the circuit and then dialing it back to cathc my breath the other half. That should keep pushing my body…

I started eating at my TDEE-15% on Monday, and I love eating more, even though sometimes it is hard to get up to the full calorie amount... so just waiting to see what happens! I finish Body Revolution on Thursday, then I am off to the beach for a week! Yeah! I have a bunch of friends who are in a group to encourage each…

Awesome! Where are you in Body Revolution? I am on my very last week, I will be done on Friday! Then I go on vacation and I think I am going to go through it again when I get back, increasing weights and generally "pushing the up button" as Jillian says! I am debating whether I should start back at 1 or start in Phase 2…

OK, thanks! I will check that sticky thread you recommended! I'm thinking that the BodyMedia should give me a more accurate TDEE than using a calculator, right? Anybody have experience with that? Thanks!

How do I join the group? I am thinking about increasing my calories, but a little worried since when I was eating more, I plateaued big time and since I have lowered, I am losing again, but it is slow and hard and I am wondering if I should adjust it upward. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this! I have been trying to figure out what to do next, and this is great information to help me as I move forward!

I got stuck for 4 months from October through January, at the time I was eating back my exercise calories and getting a total of 1600 per day. I decided to cycle my calories and drop them. I now eat 1100 two days and then 1600 the 3rd day. Once a week, I have a free day where I eat whatever, usually it ends up around 1800…

Weighed in today at 160, same as last week, but I am ok with that because for the first time in years, I had no gain with all the candy in the house from Halloween! Now I am aiming to get out of the 160s this week! Jen

So for this week, no change, still at 160. But that is OK, because for the first time in a while, I didn't gain during Halloween week with all the candy in the house! :) Now, to get out of the 160s this week!!! Jen

What a nice surprise to see 160 on the scale today! Next time I hope to be out of the 160s forever!!! :) Jen

Yeah! My weigh in today was 160! So, now I need to get under 160 this week!!!!! Jen

Still 162 here. I moved down just a little last week and then stayed the same again... I can't figure out why I am not losing more? Frustrating! Jen

I am at 162 this week, and happy with that because I was starting to stall out! Jen

Hi all! Hope your week was great! I am BUSY this weekend! My weigh in is 162, finally some movement again! :) See ya! Jen

I went back down to 163.2 today, so I am thrilled to say that I think the extra pound was just water weight! Yeah! If you can put 163.2 on the chart, that would be the most accurate and then I don't have to see that extra pound on there all week! Thanks! Jen

If it is not too late to change my weigh in for the chart, I went back down to 163.2, so I guess the extra pound was just water or something... will keep on going this week and hope for a good loss! Jen

I completed it in 30 days on a challenge on here, and en went back and did each level 5 additional days, and I love it! I am now doing another Jilian dvd, Ripped in 30, which is really good too! I was really concerned about my knees when I started, and they did hurt some during the shred, but I was fine. she stresses good…
