go to jillianmichaels.com and it should be there. I am not really interested in the diet but the workouts. My trainer is quiting and tomorrow is my last day with here. I really need the guidance in the workout dept...mostly weight training so I wanted to know if it would help. I will let you know. I am going to join for the 5 weeks and see how what its about.

I got my first work out and its for a home workout. I was more looking for the gym machines. It looks really good and from what everyone says it will kick your butt. She does a circuit training and which is strength training and cardio all in one. Then you have one day of cardio and two days of rest. I am not sure ....I love doing the machines at the gym. Trying to talk dh into a bowflex so that I can use it and walk for cardio.

After reading this, I signed up for it since I've been looking for a change up in my routine. I did the first workout today. It was tough! You pick if you want Level 1 or Level 2 programs. I answered the questions and am a Level 2 because I work out 4-6 days a week now. She has it set up where you do five circuits. Each circuit has 3 exercises. For example, today one circuit was 3 sets of 15 bent over rows; 3 sets of 15 crossover lunges; 1 min of jump roping. You do some weights and then some body resistance and then some harder cardio to keep your heart rate up. I thought it was a good workout, I liked the circuits, and the way they are combined, lots of muscles are used and fatigued in the workout. You do 4 days like this (split) and then one day of just cardio with two rest days split in the week. You choose the days. Mine are Sun and Wed. The other thing is that you can cancel the membership after 5 weeks, so the worst is that you are out $20 AND have your 20 workouts you could rotate! I am definitely trying it for 5 weeks!

I agree, I am going to go to the website and check it out. I am getting kind of board with just doing my treadmill.

I went to her site, and it is appealing - however I know it wont' work for me. I signed up for EDiets a year before getting banded, and it just wasnt' something that motivated me. I need a trainer that I see each wk and be accoutable to - otherwise, it's just another email I might ignore.

I really like Jillian **would love for her to be in TX ...LOL** - I'll be interested in seeing results from anyone who signs up...all the best!

I love Jillian - I could really use someone like her to kick my butt. I had someone at the gym who was just too sweet. I really need someone to motivate me to keep going. Have you seen how she stands on their legs while they are squatting against the wall. Holy Cow! that looks like it really hurts. I didn't get to watch it tonight - but I've recorded it - I hope to watch it tomorrow night! I love this show - I've learned so much about the workouts just from Bob and of course Jillian.

TTFN (Ta Ta for now!)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
