Hi anyone doing the Food Lovers Fat loss system? I love it but could use a daily accountability buddy

I started this program in Sept after seeing my 60 somethings cousins 41 lbs in 6 months. I lost 9.5 lbs in my first month and found it a refreshing system compared to others. But make no mistake you will be making smarter Choices and will be saying no to certain foods at certain times. What's great about this system is…

Me!!!! Been using my fitbit s d MFP for a while but to stick with it and be consistent. Would love the support of a group

I start everyday off tracking planned meals etc and by afternoon am eating everything g in sight. Heavier than ever but I will do this. Just for today... I will.. 1. Decide that I am stronger than my love for food and using it as a tool to reduce stress.. 2. Begin to walk again and work for those 10,000 steps. 3. Stay off…

I am so happy to have found this group. How do I join?

Wow so many great responses I truly appreciate it. To answer the bulk of these questions...I am following g a 40/30/30 as recommended by the trainer in the 21 day fix. It is lower carb than mfp sets for me and I know that personally I cannot eat alot of carbs and lose weight. I have been eating as clean as possible for the…

Thanks!

don't make that mistake. I did that last year and lost weight but felt sick and lost hair, etc. Follow Jillian's meal plan on body revolution or eat clean (or a clean version of weight watchers) but add in the healthy whole grain carbs like brown rice, potatoes and oatmeal. just do it in moderation and use portion control.…

Hi! Once you get used to it, you'll learn to love it! Try mixing it with some onion soup mix during special events to dip your veggies in! You will never know the difference! Also, try mixing in a few tablespoons of slivered almonds and some cinnamon. Also yummy!

Hi! I did 2 and 1/2 months of jillian while eating ONLY 1200 calories and not eating back some of the exercise calories and, honestly, I looked great but started to feel like garbage. JMBR is an excellent program but I think she needs to address the issues of adding calories while exercising at that pace. I love this…

HI! I make it a point to walk everyday for 30 or more minutes and I bike when I can. Started Jillian Michaels Body Revolution a few months ago and got some good results. Feeling stronger and firmer but at 55 its a rough road to getting in shape. Nutritional needs need to be watched very carefully - I was only eating 1200…

Theres a similar oatmeal breakfast cookie from the 17 day diet that incorporates protein powder, some dried cherries and a few dark chocolate chips...its decadent.....a few more cals per cookie than 122 but they are yum

Hey thanks! Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this post! You have had some awesome results! I have been struggling with losing30 lbs for some time now. I am always counting calories and working to be great at it but seem to have many "friggit" moments these days lol. I did, however, go on that scooby calculator…

Hi! Well I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution which, quite frankly, is just as evil. :) . How are you doing with this? I love the workouts but have some issues with exhaustion vs eating back more calories, etc. trying to lose 25 lbs.

I just re started phase 1. Got to phase 3 and just couldnt survive it :(. I am 54 so I decided to go back and restrengthen and begin again. How did you do with thhis total program? Its wonderful but im having issues with exhaustion vs adding back calories, etc.

Hey Thanks so much! I guess i am just so afraid to gain weight but I really am quite active and, since starting to do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (a great 1/2 hr workout a day) I have been feeling really awful! And, not losing weight.... so thanks. If you think the MFP calculator is correct I'll start using it. My…

Can someone please explain what the TDEE is? I'm so confused. Thanks!

Hey Thanks so much! This is an issue for me. What is your TDEE??? I was just talking about this yesterday with a good friend who is also working out and eating more. I have been sticking with 1200 cals and feeling just awful. Not really losing either. How do I know how much to eat? should I stick with what MFP suggests? Or…

Does anyone know how many average calories Jillian's 30 minute body revolution workouts burn? Not sure how to add them in

Try actually following the eating plan. I lost 15 lbs in my first month and a half doing that. This plan has the exact correct amounts of fats, carbs and protein, etc. Give it a try...what have u got tolose?

Thanks so much for all your help! I totally need some educated and good friends here! I love Jillian's workout plan and am looking awesome but having issues with the total exhaustion. Jillian has us woking out 6 days a week with one rest day. Four strength training days with one cardio day in between. Its just half an hour…

I hear ya! I have found that I do much better with a protein and fat in the morning. Add a healthy carb and you will not be starving! If you are going low or no carb, do like I did this morning: two poached (or fried in pam) eggs, over two slices of canadian bacon with tomato slices and 1/4 sliced avacado. DEELISH - under…

Hey great job! I have been doing Jillian Michaels 90 day body revolution and its a tuff one! just 30 minutes of grueling workout but a good one.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I've also been experiencing extreme hunger- thereby blowing my whole diet..tho I am a diehard counting these calories! Guess I will just k eep at it...Wondering whether this workout is just too aggressive for me to handle until I get stronger. What do u think? I am 54 almost 55... hmmm..I…

Hey girl! Had the same exact thing happen to me last weekend but decided to dig in hard and eat really well and exercise and took it all back off in just a day and a half. And, I am 52 yrs old so usually when that happens its all water weight. I had eaten some bacon and eggs and a couple of hot dogs and that held onto the…
