Back after some struggles.
I was doing sooooo good. I was working out 6 days a week from May 2014 to Feb. 2015 then I stopped. I had lost 11 lbs, but a crazy amount of inches. I made it through Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (which I was super proud of) and numerous other workout DVDs. Why did I stop? Cause I'm a friggen idiot mostly. Also went…

2nd go around
I'm starting this again on Wednesday (July 15th). My boyfriend said he would do it with me, but he wants to only use 20 lb weights. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Yeah okay. He hasn't worked out a single day since I met him. I told him he should start with what she recommends, but oh no, he doesn't need, "stinkin 3 lb weights". This will…

Calorie intake seems ridiculous
I just got my NROL4W on Saturday and am almost done reading it. I decided I should change my calorie goal on MFP since he says to eat more. MFP set me at 1700 to lose .5 lbs a week. I'm 224 and am 5'06" and 30 years old. I don't really care so much about my goal weight, I had decided at 130, but I've decided I rather lose…

YAY! DONE!!
I finished Body Revolution on Monday. I started it November 3rd. I had to take a week off right after I started Phase 2 because I got sick, but I did all the workouts. Some days life would get in the way or I was just really lazy and I would take a day off, but then next day I would double up my workout to make sure I did…

Resistance Cables
Did you guys get the Jillian Michaels resistance cables or another brand? I just got a Gold's Gym one from Wal-Mart and its too short for me and I'm not able to do some of the workouts and have to switch to weights. I need to get a new one and I was just wondering what you all had.

The Cast
We're toughing it out with these people for 90 days, so who is your favorite/least favorite? I like Kenta, Omar, and Mimi. I didn't like Mimi during Kick Box Fast Fix, but she is hilarious is BR. Kenta and Omar are pretty dang inspiring. I don't want to be a beefy male like them (missing the parts anyway!) but Jillian is…

Body Revolution Sequel - Body Shred
https://www.getbodyshred.com/ I saw the little ad Jillian Michaels posted on Facebook the other day. It looks HARD. I looked through the page a bit and it says its for intermediate/advanced people in their workouts. I want to try it. Not now, I need to be in WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better shape. But this is going on my Christmas…

Body Revolution NSV
What are some of your non-scale victories while using Body Revolution? 1. I've noticed my shoulders are looking more muscular. 2. I have less back fat! Hooray! 3. Before I started BR, I had to change the water on our water cooler at work. Lifting that thing from the floor was hard and winded me. Today I had to do it for…

It's only 10 lbs...
But it's the first time I've lost 10 lbs without starving myself. I was this weight last summer at this time, but I had been incredibly depressed and in a lot of pain thanks to uterine fibroids. I was also completely broke. I tried applying for food stamps, but the State told me I made too much to be on food stamps..except…

BMR and MFP OMG
I found out my BMR is 1815. MFP has me set at 1520. On days I work out, I try to hit about 1700 (I may be a bit over or under) because I like a bit of cushion for my calories, as I don't have a scale yet and know there is a big difference between the weight of food and measuring it. But on my rest days, do I need to eat…

Landlords! UGH
My boyfriend and I moved into the duplex on October 30th. It has the coolest fireplaces in both the living room and the family room in the basement. Its in a great neighborhood and was actually in our price range. It is super hard to find something in our price range in a decent neighborhood in this town, especially…

Measuring yourself
When is it best to measure yourself to get the most accurate measurements? I'm doing the 30 day shred and measuring after I finish a level and I want to make sure I'm getting an accurate reading. How long should I wait between exercises to do it? Is 24 hours enough? Thanks in advance!

30 Day Shred vs. Ripped in 30
I just ordered Ripped in 30 off of Amazon. I'm almost done with level 2 in 30DS. I was wondering to the people who have done both DVDs which one they liked better, which one they feel like they got better results with and over all your thoughts on both. :)

Hey everyone!
Hi I'm just now posting an introduction, although I've posted a few times and have done a lot of lurking haha! I'm 30 years old and after being heavy my whole life I decided I didn't want to spend my 30's like I did my 20's and be overweight. I gave up pop, started eating better, drinking a tooooon of water, and working…
