JMBR results - another reason to throw out your scale!
I'm finishing week 10 of JMBR today. I have gained 0.3 pounds and lost 10 inches. I really need to get rid of my scale. Just a little bit of encouragement for anyone out there who isn't "losing weight" on this program.

Quit smoking and gaining weight at an alarming rate!
Well MFPers - I'm confused. i quit smoking April 1. I have gained 8 lbs in the last 10 days. I have eaten enough over my maintenance levels to gain 1.5 lbs in that time. I know smoking increases your metabolism so lets say by quitting, my TDEE has decreased by 300 per day which could explain another gain of a pound over a…

Finally Made It!
Well - 9 months later and I've reached my goal. It's been an interesting journey. Friends calling me too skinny and telling me I look like a bobble head! Posted my milestone on my MFP and only 2 of my friends noticed and one I've known for 26 years :ohwell: WHATEVER! I've lost about 45 lbs since last October - 37 of those…

JMBR - 5 weeks complete and have gained 4 lbs!
Would REALLY like to hear if any one else has had this experience! Have been eating within my calories (a generous 1700 plus cals burned as I'm in maintenance - or was! :laugh: ) I find my clothes are fitting the same but I definitely feel 'bulkier'. However, I know there's no way I've gained 4 lbs of muscle in only 5…

One year on MFP today! A look back and a big thanks
A little about the last year. Since I started MFP on November 21, 2011, I have lost 35 lbs and 27 inches and am now in maintenance. The interesting part of this is that from November 2011 to February 2012, I lost 20 of those 35 lbs, but only 10 inches (only workout being the treadmill). In mid-February, I bought my very…

Finished day 1 - not much of a challenge?
Or should I just shut up and enjoy it while it lasts? :smile: I added weights and plyo where I could. I am thinking of doing cardio before this workout. Would appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced the same. Thanks!

Is the Fitbit aria scale accurate?
I'm thinking of buying one to track bf% and am wondering if anyone knows how accurate it is in that regard. Thanks!

Is anyone doing the JMBR cardio every or most days?
I'm starting Day 1 tomorrow and thinking of doing this but would love to hear from those with experience! Thanks!

Starting Nov 15!
Hi all - glad to have found you! I have just finished 6 weeks of NMTZ/BFBM (30 workouts total) and am excited to start JMBR! I'm a little concerned that by going from almost an hour workout to 30-35 minutes, I'll lose some of the progress I've made....should I be? I have looked at workout 1 and it does 'seem' easier than…

Starting JMBR tomorrow - November 15
Very excited to start this! Just finished 6 weeks of NMTZ/BFBM and am ready to change it up! Anyone interested in joining me?! The more the merrier! :smile:

Protein Powder containers?
I think of this every morning when I make my shake. Any idea WHY the protein powder containers seem to be twice as big as they need to be??? I buy Isofemme and, upon opening, the container is always half full/half empty depending upon your disposition :smile: For some reason this bugs me...seems like a waste. Why do they…

NMTZ versus BFBM - any recommendations?
Hoping to hear from anyone who has completed both. Am almost done 6w6p and have completed 30DS, RI30 and KB&T. Just looking for the next JM workout to torment me :smile: Also thinking about doing both (rotating not both of them everyday!) and would love your feedback! Thanks all!

Could use some guidance on choosing my next fitness regime
Hi all! Since Feb, I have completed (in order) 30DS, RI30, KB&T and will finish 6W6P before the end of September. After this, I would like to have a 3-month plan to take me to the end of 2012. Here are the ideas I've been mulling around: 1. JM Body Revolution 2. Rotate all of the above-mentioned JM DVDs daily (starting…

I AM FINISHED KBT!!!!!
Not sure if anyone is still here but I'm posting this anyway - I've worked hard for it! :smile: I did all 3 levels for 10 days each and I'm have to say I'm glad it's over as of this morning! Weigh- in and measurements tomorrow. Not expecting a change but can see way more definition :smile: Taking a 2 or 3 day break and…

Annoyed with 'obsessed' comments
I like to get my workout in first thing in the am so it's done and nothing that comes up later in the day throws me off schedule. Depending on my schedule, this may mean getting up at 4 am to 'get er done'. Many people (including one today) have told me this is obsessive. I totally disagree - I think it's a commitment.…

Killer Buns and Thighs
Hi all - just starting this one after completing 30 DS and Ripped in 30 since mid-feb. Would love to hear some success stories (there are so many for 30 DS and Ripped but having trouble finding any for KBT!). I think I'm OD'ing on Jillian but I know her programs work - could use some inspiration to carry on! :smile:

Anyone else seeing NO inches lost??!!
Hey everyone - hope you're all keeping on keeping on. After 19 KBT workouts i decided to take measurements this morning. I've managed to lose 1/2 inch off my right thigh (both left and right are 20 inches now). Aside from being symmetrical now that is all I have lost - ANYWHERE! I go hard - don't 'phone' it in - HRM gives…

Recommendations please - reduce speed or repeat week?
I just finished w3D3. It was HARD!!! Is it better, in your opinion, to repeat the week at the same speed or to move to week 4 and lower my speed if I think I absolutely have to? Advice would be appreciated!

Hello everyone!
New to the group and actually, this is the first group I've joined! I think I might need some advice with this one! I'm on W2 D2 and running at 6 mph (treadmill). Worried how successful I will be when 90 seconds goes to 2 mins- finding it tough already! Glad to have found you!

What speed to you run at doing C25K?
Just starting this program and run at 6 mph for the running intervals. This is fine for a minute or 90 seconds but I'm concerned I won't be able to keep it up as the running intervals get longer! Just wondering at what pace other newbies to the program chose or if anyone else who has finished the program had similar…

My first NSV post
I've had a few NSV's along the way but kept them to myself. Didn't want to bore anyone! Can't help but share this one. Went shopping for a pair of jeans - found a pair I liked that we're regularly $75 - wasn't sure what they would be after discounts. Clerk told me $50. I said I wouldn't take them then as I thought the…

Silk True Almond Soy
Quick question - is this better for weight loss and nutrition than 1% milk? Thanks!

Another reason to ditch the scale
I sat down this morning to take a look at my progress - comparing what it was like before I started Jillian Michaels' workouts and after. From beginning of January to mid-February, (pre-Jillian) I lost 14 lbs and 6 inches. Mid-February to this morning (been "doing" Jillian faithfully since mid- Feb), I have only lost 7 lbs…
