Same exact dates here! Mine is coming to California though, also hopin I get it early so I can start next Monday!

My march goals are: 1. eat more veggies 2. continue to run 3 miles 2-3 times a week 3. go to the beach once a week (for mental fitness) 4. start Jillian Michael's 90 day Body Revolution and follow it (waiting for my dvd to arrive) 5. look toned from the strength work :)

Don't think of gaining a few pounds as steps back, I think it migh just be that you are building muscle, which I've heard weighs more than fat.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but I plan to continue running 3 miles 2 times a week and biking/rollerblading on the weekend.

I have not gotten mine in the mail yet but based on the 30 min and my experience with her other DVDs I plan on continuing to run 2-3x a week, (3 miles). I will also continue biking and rollerblading because that is what my husband and I do for fun :)

Oh one more thing to add: my basic effort is to look for those items that are low calorie but high in nutrients. I want to eat things that give my body want it needs. Try watching Forks Over Knives and Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Might confuse you more but I took away things that I am glad about.

I agree, it is so confusing reading the different plans and studies. This is what I shoot for: 1. Lots of veggies of all colors 2. Fruit 3. Water or tea as only beverages 4. lean protein (mostly fish and chicken, very little red meat). I also try not to eat any form of meat a few days a week 5. whole wheat and whole grains…

Haha! I agree the women walking on the treadmill is strange (just walk outside) but more so the makeup and hair.

Congrats! -The pants that use to give me muffin top don't any more! (went down a pant size) -arms look more toned -legs look more toned -feel happier -sleep well also -skin seems more clear -not tired half-way through the day -easier to focus

Jillian Michaels for me too! 30 day shred is my favorite. No More Trouble Zones is one I'm learning to love (it is really hard for me but I know I need the strength training). Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is good too. I liked the p90x ones I tried but 30 day shred is great because it is so short but so hard!

I really like but unlike the other comment, I actually find it much harder than 30DS, in fact to me this her hardest dvd, and I have a lot of them. I can't always finish this dvd, well let's be honest, I think I only went through the whole dvd once. I run 2-3 times a week, 3 miles, so I really want to use NMTZ 2-3 times a…

Yes! Or brush your teeth! Also when the work pants feel loose.

Sorry to hear that. I would eat a bit less calories but you can also try some upper body workouts. Punching (the air) type routines can really get your heart rate up, also lifting weights. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tips!

I agree! I have been doing really well for 2 months but the weekends still mess me up for a variety of reasons. Let's make a pact not to fall into this trip next weekend? I have a birthday party to attend (had 3 this weekend that really messed me up) but I think my plan to help me this weekend just didn't work so I need a…

Wow! Fantastic! You don't look half-way there, you look there!

I usually put just half a scoop of whey, though I recently changed to hemp protein powder, the less animal products in my life the better :)

Thanks! Love the Sport Fitness Advisor animations!

Thanks to all for the great info, I'm trying to do the same thing. I'm trying to transition to lifting heavy as a female as so many on mfp have suggested. Gym is not an option for me either so I would start with this plan. Would love feedback. Background-at my goal weight (115 at 5'3" ) but not goal shape. I run 3 miles…

Oh and I noticed a major typo, I'm 115lb, not 155!

Thanks so muh for the feedback. I will look up what those other ones are called and the one you suggested.

Awesome!!!!

Day 2 went well! l worked out, wassupposed to run, my running buddy cancelled then it started to rain, but I didn't use it as an excuse: used a Jillian cardio DVD (Banisf fat Boost Metabolism) Wasn't able to drink 8 glasses today, just 4 Ate lots of fruit and veggies Had salad for dinner How about you guys? These were my…

Wow! Fantastic! Main ways you would say you accomplished this?

I agree, whenever I have more foods that my body can actually use (leafy greens, beans, other vegetables) I'm usually a few hundred away from calorie goals according to MFP but too full to force myself to eat just to meat the goal. I think it is fine to be under if I feel full because I trust my body and I know I don't go…

Yesterday's (day 1) status: 1. I will workout 7 days a week = did it! 30 min walk and 30 mins strength with Jillian's NMTZ 2. I will plan my workout every Sunday = done! 3. I will drink 8 glasses of water = made it to 6 and felt so bloated 4. I will eat veggies/fruit every meal = did it! Berries, banana, spinach, beans,…

This what I have, last one minus the sugar sub. Also I drink homemade smoothies, berry ones and green ones.

JLo, Let's Get Loud :)

A tip that has helped me a lot with fruit: I buy a large frozen berry medley (blueberries, blackberries, rasberries) from the grocery store and make sure I have 1/2 cup a day at breakfast (in a smoothie, on a whole grain waffle, or in oatmeal)

Sounds great! I'm in! 1. I will workout 7 days a week (1 day of walking only, 2 days running 3 miles, 3 days strength, 1 day elliptical or other cardio ) 2. I will plan my workout every Sunday 3. I will drink 8 glasses of water 4. I will eat veggies/fruit every meal 5. I will make 1 meal a day salad
