Lovers of Jillian Michaels meet up here

Sorry for falling off the thread, I had a crisis with DS3's sleep last Sunday night and I haven't done anything for a week so everything's gone all saggy.

Well hedgehogy I'll have to see how it goes, but I like to aim high

Idkick that sounds tough. I like the look of that one but I don't want pay for kettle bells just yet. I had a look at adjustable weight ones which are £80+.

That's a good idea, Better - thanks.

I love BFBM but find it the toughest out of the DVDs I have (and it seems so long compared to the others), so credit to you for considering alternating that with only one other DVD for six weeks!

hedge maybe do the yoga one as a rest day? I've been having one or two days off depending on the week. I've been doing 30DS in five day chunks then a day off then another five days.

I finish 30DS next week, then I'm on holiday for a week and I'm undecided what to do when I get back. I think I'm going to try and alternate BFBM and NMTZ for six weeks and see how that goes. I'll probably also start going to a postnatal Pilates class (because it's free!).

Hi, I just want to say hello to my fellow JM fans. I love her DVDs; I have BFBM, NMTZ, 30DS, RI30, KB&T, 6WK6PK and YM and although I've done the shred in it's entirety a few times I mostly just pick a different DVD each day to stop me getting bored.

I have a holiday coming up in a couple of months so in theory I'd love to do 6WK6PK each day along with another DVD but in reality that won't happen with a nearly one year old! I can't decide whether to do the full 6 weeks or carry on alternating DVDs.

YM is a new addition - I've only done level 1 once. I'm not sure about it to be honest, it didn't feel like I'd exercised so I'll try level 2 next. Although yoga/ Pilates appeal to me in theory as they're supposed to make you leaner; if I have to stop exercising for a week or so for some reason I definitely look slimmer, even though I only use light weights.

How many rest days do you all have? I know you're supposed to have at least one but I really enjoy my exercise; I have to force myself to have rest days.

Happy Anniversary Jack

7 roast potatoes not surprised you didn't eat them all!

12 . And yes lovely lunch!

Oops, that shld have been lardy pub lunch.

Dolores well done for getting started. As I recall, the aching is worst on days 2-3 and eases up after that!

Yep I will struggle to work out in HT too although my mum is coming for a couple of days so should fit in at least 2 sessions plus the weekend.

L1 Es&s done this a.m, followed up by a karst pub lunch for wedding anniversary.

Hello there, just finished Day 2 of Level 1 shred. Ouch! Powered through after the pain of yesterday as advised somewhere else... is that the right thing to do? Loving the post exercise burn though. Will get onto C25K when muscles are less tender!! All very exciting.

NMTZ with 3kg is fantastic! I usually line my weights up- some moves in it I find easy with my 4kgs, others practically impossible with my 2kgs! The shoulder and tricep exercises are where I'm weakest, then biceps but I'm quite strong in the chest.

Like the sound of that bob DVD.

Move sounds exciting but exhausting spinning.

I predict I will struggle to fit in lots of exercise over half term.

Ooh ripped core sounds like something I need to try kick

I have to admit defeat with any proper exercise! Despite my good intentions I'm just too busy! And with stuff split between 2 houses its hard. More painting for me today. Will deffo be back to exercise after Tuesday

Not at all daddypig - NMTZ with 2kgs nearly kills me! well done on the 3kgs.

Congrats on the house move, spinning. And on the abs progress i'dkick!

L2 es&s done today. Not as bad as I remembered it being!

idkick does the bob workout use hand weights or kettles?

Managed most of NMTZ with 3 kg weight. Really struggled with the surrenders with those weights. Am I pathetic?!

Haha don't know who ST is! I meant Bob Harper

Hi ladies

Knotty good to hear you enjoyed SIWW.

So many positive stories on here. I'm 42 and I'm pretty pleased with my shape now which feels good

I still haven't done any JM or anything else but I am still madly cleaning everything in sight in the new house! How can it have been so filthy! It's a huge house with an annex and big untidy garden and I haven't even started on the garden yet! Anyway, this weekend I will be painting and we move on Tuesday I'm fed up of being between houses now! I've been taking loads of boxes every time I go to new house......my van blew up on thurs, mid journey! It just stopped and black smoke was coming out of it so I shouted to the kids 'quick get out'!! Seems funny now but was a bit scary at the time!
Anyway, sorry about the super long post, just thought I'd update and say I am still around and I'll be back JM'ing soon!!! Can't wait to try my ST dvd
