  • Yeah, I agree about the pricing. I definitely had to do some budgeting finagling. :s
  • I don't find that the whole thing is based on EPOC, maybe it's an advertising tool they use a little too much, but I don't think it embodies the workout itself. I don't agree with the concept of an 'After Burn' either, I think they are why a lot of people seem to plateau when they think they're still burning calories 30…
  • I'm obsessed. I log it as Circuit Training with MFP app, and adjust my calories manually.
  • I love practicing at home, as well as studio practice. I really enjoy Yoga with Adriene; she will break down the fundamentals, and her method of instructing is helpful (especially for beginners). If you scroll down on her channel you'll see a series of Yoga for Beginners videos. I also got quite into Rodney Yee for my at…
  • Hello! Late to joining this group for November, but I am pretty new to walk at home DVDs due to a recently diagnosed lumbar spine injury. Scrolling through here I noticed a lot of you expertly vary your days! Any advice for a newbie who is used to being a little TOO aggressive with workouts? (Hence; injury) I am humbled to…
  • I forgot to mention the meal plan I follow that has without question worked for me was also Jillian Michaels diet plan, but it is significantly calorie restrictive and it involves a lot of cook/prep time. It can be quite of a shock if you are not used to eating like this. You can see it here. I view this diet as definitely…
  • Yep! :) I'm also 5'3" at 140 and targeting 130-125. I am naturally muscular as well! I find that I make it to 130, but rarely stay there. I am also trying to maintain muscle mass. What kind of work outs do you do? To the OP - I swear by Jillian Michaels. I have tried many other HIIT videos, but faithfully return to…
  • Sorry, very new to posting - not sure how to reply to a specific person. - I agree with the fear mongering aspect - but it had some interesting points, too. As for McDonald's Big Mac breakdown, that doesn't sound great at all.
  • Watched the documentary Fed Up a few nights ago, and it's a bit interesting how this thread touches on a lot of its points. I definitely recommend it to many of the people commenting on this topic. There is a fuzzy line between educating ourselves/having the will to change vs. falling prey to advertising/taking the easy…
  • Glad your dad is okay, WordWhimsy! I'm definitely looking up that app, sounds fantastic. I didn't get to double up yesterday, but I was impressed I did a work out regardless - I barely had time to squeeze it in between work and a show my boyfriend I had planned to go to months ago. Fun show, but had a few drinks when I…

  • WordWhimsy I had the same morning - I wanted to get my double cardio done early but opted for more sleep. :grumble: I also started my day with a big iced coffee as well, haha! I caught up with water by mid-afternoon, hopefully you did too. :smile: I'm planning on doing my cardio 1 right when I get home. I don't think I'll…

  • 100 fl oz is a great goal. Water had always been challenging for me. Sometimes I would simply just forget to have anything but my morning coffee and maybe two glasses of water. For the last few months I've made sure to get 80 fl oz a day. The biggest change I did for water was purchase these cute mason jar with straws at…

  • I decided to double up the work outs like she suggests in the 7 Day Kickstart Plan - I'm following her diet to the best of my ability (with the exception of caffeine suggestions, heh) as well. Yesterday I did Cardio 1 followed by Workout 1, and tonight I plan on doubling up again. I was going to try to knock out the Cardio…
  • Hi everyone! I'm right there with you Marjorie, just starting the Revolution today. I'm also a newbie to MFP. I not only hit a plateau with my weight loss, but a nearly ten pound gain since January. When I started Jillian's Body Revolution last August, I lost seven lbs my first week, and continued to lose to my ideal…
