Her workouts make me feel good and good about myself I don’t have to force myself to do them anymore, and every time I step on the scale and see how the numbers are going down, it’s like a little present to myself. (Oh, you laugh now, but you can never predict when a bear will need wrasslin’.) I have no doubt that if I keep it up with Jillian, I’ll get back to the way I was before (and then some) eventually. I just want to get healthier, feel better about myself, and get strong, so that if I ever need to, I dunno… wrestle a bear into submission or something I’ll be ready. My goal has never been to fit into a size two. I haven’t put myself on a strict diet other than the “Don’t Eat Like a Lunatic” diet controlled portions and food I prepare myself from scratch with a lot of vegetables and grains.

The work is hard, but I feel better than I have in years… more alert, more cheerful, more energetic. That was the worst part getting back on the scale for the first time in months and seeing how far I’d let myself go. For four weeks solid, I have done an hour of exercise every day (30 Day Shred and 6 Week Six Pack) and I’ve already lost over twenty pounds. (I was back to a size 22.) To say I was embarrassed was an understatement I felt ashamed of myself, that I had let not only myself but my husband down, and instead of getting back on ye olde proverbial horse, I just made things worse.įour weeks ago I had enough. Unfortunately, late last year, in addition to getting complacent, my husband and I were also hammered by weeks where nothing seemed to go right and we had to deal with one calamity after another… a burst water main, our car breaking down (repeatedly), the declining health of a family member… it just went on and on, and long story short, I fell into depression and packed nearly all the weight back on. There’s just something about her I respond well to she’s firm but fair during her workouts, and her enthusiasm for what she’s doing is infectious. The thing about Jillian is that while she’s earned and deserves her reputation for being a tough trainer, she’s not an unpleasant one.

Keep in mind I’m six foot tall here.) There was no magic, no bull, just hard work, encouragement, and inspiration.

(To give you an idea, I went from a size 28 down to a size 16. Over the course of months of exercise using Jillian’s DVDs, I lost weight DRAMATICALLY.

A lack of portion control on my part and a full time job reviewing video games has lead to a physique that’s not only unflattering, but unhealthy. This review is from: Jillian Michaels: 6 Week Six-Pack (DVD)Īt 26 years old and nearly six feet tall, I should be a shapely Amazon of a gal, but I’m not.
