![]() I did a different one for each of the 12 days of Christmas and reported honestly on what I thought of them the next day. I went to HMV and bought fitness DVDs launched literally that day or thereabouts. As a rather committed fitness enthusiast, I wanted to try all the new offerings as they launched and report honest feedback to all you lovely readers so you were armed with that before shelling out the cash (they’re expensive compared to the freebies on YouTube). On Boxing Day last year I started a challenge for reasons better known to myself called 12 days of Christmas, 12 workout DVDs for. ![]() My favorite Jillian workouts are 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30.When Anna Magee tried Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred fitness DVD she was instantly hooked – despite having tried just about every new fitness DVD for 2014. Three years later I have surpassed that goal and currently have lost 114 lbs! The journey and my new life is more rewarding than I ever could have imagined! It is so worth all of the hard work and dedication. I began feeling revitalized, confident, and happy. I made it a priority to educate myself on what healthy eating was and follow through with a healthy lifestyle, not ‘diet.’ I made exercising 6 times a week a non-negotiable. I was tired of being uncomfortable, embarassed, and sick all of the time. Just over three years ago I set a goal to lose 100 lbs. In the last 2 years since starting my weight loss journey, I've lost almost 60 lbs! I am not too far from my goal weight now, and I know when I get there, I will be able to maintain it! I actually look forward to working out every morning, it's become a part of who I am, my daily routine and it's complimented my dietary changes very well. I was so proud of my progress that I purchased Jillian's Bodyshred program, which I am currently halfway through, and I am loving my results. I started with Jillian's Body Revolution program, and it's the very first time in my life I've ever done something from start to finish. As I started to see results on the scale, as well as changes in my body, l began trying new things with my exercise routine once I was confident with my dietary changes. I changed my diet, and started walking daily. At my heaviest weight ever, just 6 weeks after my 2nd child, I weighed 218 lbs. After having my second child, and separating from my husband, I decided that I didn't want to live my life trapped in a body that prevented me from being happy. ![]() It's fantastic! I love how strong I feel, how my body looks, and what's now exciting is I no longer have weight loss goals but only strength goals! Many thanks go out to Jillian Michaels, Kenta Seki, and the ladies of Jillian Michaels Workout Junkies! With determination, dedication, effort, and support we can all achieve our goals! Then a year ago I started Bodyshred and since then I've done it four times! Alternating Bodyshred and other monthly challenges using Fitfusion, I've been able to drop below my pre-pregnancy weight and even more importantly gain strength and muscle definition I've never had. I began with Ripped in 30, Yoga Meltdown, and jogging. I had a lot of medical issues after my baby was born, namely with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I started slow. ![]() I decided to give Jillian a shot just about two years ago and it was a rough start. I always knew about Jillian but had never done any of her workouts. Plus, I had canceled my gym membership and my yoga membership while I was pregnant. and at 5'7" that's a healthy weight for me! After my daughter was born, I was looking for a way to get back in shape at home since I had a child and became a stay at home mom. The before picture was 6 months after my daughter was born.
