In this Losing It With Jillian Episode 3, June 15 recap, Jillian makes a visit to the May family in Bakersfield, CA.  The usual Jillian coming in and kicking booty intro stuff. But my favorite part was Jillian cleaning out the kitchen. I think this is where a lot of people get stuck, not being able to throw out that jar of mayo even though they can read “High Fructose Corn Syrup” right there on the label. The response is “But it’s just mayo, and it’s fat free mayo!” Fact is, if the label says it’s junk, it’s junk. Here are more tips on cleaning out your kitchen from the NBC.com site. Get some friends to come help you. This will keep you accountable during the process.

Ruth and her three children who still live with her, Rachel, Ashley and a son, are struggling with the emotional remnants of a divorce from two years ago. It appears the father is no longer in the picture. The garage filled up with junk reminding us of lasts week’s hoarding situation. Though this time, Jillian holds a big yard sale to clear the house of the clutter and make room for changes.

Ruth challenges Jillian at the dining room table and tells Jillian ” I am filled with hate” (towards Jillian) because she says she didn’t let her go through her things before it was sold. Jillian calls her out on her constantly victimizing herself and that seems to be a big wake up call for Ruth.

The two girls (well one was 25 so not “girls”…young ladies) are really beautiful but each wants to lose some weight too. Jillian takes them to a soccer practice to play the sport they played when their parents were still together. This, for Ashley, is her A-Ha moment as Jillian “Why’s” her to death until she gets to the heart of what is bothering her. She can’t trust anyone because her dad left.

For Rachel…it’s that she is living in the shadow of her mother. Better communication and soon the women are on their way to better family relationships.

The kids sign up mom to an online dating site and she goes on her first date in 30 years!!! Wow! The date was shown for about 2 minutes, seemed ok but don’t know if there were any sparks. Still, at that point, it’s just great to get out there and start meeting people!

Jillian says she is leaving for 8 weeks and everyone states their goals. Ruth wants to lose 20 pounds but Jillian ups it to 40. Ashley wants to get in a size 7 dress and Jillian says, no, size 6. For Rachel, she also wants to lose 40 pounds.

Everyone reaches their goals, and Ruth loses a whooping 74 pounds! (It seemed like that was in the 8 week period but I don’t know because it showed many episodes of her not working out when she was supposed to be). Maybe they were adding up some weight she had lost on her own before Jillian arrived??? 74 pounds is a lot to lose in 8 weeks, but if anyone can make it happen, it’s Jillian.

The Losing It With Jillian show is starting to get a little too predictable at this point. My friend said it is very much like Nanny 911. Same old, same old. Last week, episode 2, was great with the 5K Challenge which we are doing here at BurnFatClub. This week….so so. The biggest take away is that it can be done…at any age and there is always time for a new beginning.

Here is a link to watch Losing It With Jillian Episode 3, June 15 video available online.

Jillian visits the May family and it looks like we might have another hoarder on our hands as the preview shows a garage full of stuff and a yard sale.

According to sidereel.com, “A family need a boost toward positive change following a life-altering event. Jillian takes the mom out for a night on the town and then arranges a soccer-based workout for the kids. Later, the family hold a garage sale to clear out space in their home.”

Here is the story of a lady who has a great jillian michaels and p90 before and after success story. It tells of how she hit her rock bottom? Does it sound familiar to you? Then she makes the decision to change. Isn’t that always the hardest part? She has weekly update photos in her video that are pretty inspiring. By the way, P90 is the precursor to P90X. It’s basically what you do if you can’t hang with P90X yet. I will have to do a blog on that because I don’t think a lot of people know that’s an option. Ok…here’s the story….

Jillian Michaels and P90 Before and After Success Story

In this week’s episode of Losing It with Jillian, 5k racing was a big topic of discussion. For episode 2, Jillian Michaels visits the Jones family in Massachusetts. Debra the mom, is struggling after the death of her husband from a heart attack and raising two kids on her own. Her house is a mess as Debra seems to have “checked out” from life feeling overwhelmed.

It starts out with all the usual yelling and typical Jillian emotional breakthroughs we have come to expect, but my favorite part of the show is when Jillian takes Debra to the track (here’s a clip or the full episode) to train to run her first 5K. Jillian, 5K, what? I wasn’t sure Debra was going to be able to do it.

Turns out that Debra’s boss runs a 5K every weekend and her coworkers run after work each day. With their support and motivation, Debra hoped to also run a 5K. The boss shows up and gets Debra started right away on a sound plan of running 60 seconds, walking 90 seconds.

This was a great Losing It With Jillian episode for me because I remember my first 5K and I have blogged about  5K tips as a beginner and what to expect. Turns out that a few weeks later, despite knee injuries, Debra is able to complete her first 5K in front of Jillian and had lost 32 pounds! What a huge accomplishment for a woman who has been through so much. My personal 5K numbers from races I have done hang on my bathroom wall and remind me every day of what I can do. There is just nothing like signing up for a race, training for it and completing it.

During the commercial, Jillian said to go to her website to learn more about 5k tips, training, getting healthy and losing weight. Here is how I got a cheaper offer to join. There is really nothing better than having her on your side pushing you to get it done and you are going to need the support, trust me. Just sign up for free to get your weight loss plan and check out the Success Stories too.  You can get the From Sedentary to 5k plan here.

To be eligible for the 5K Challenge with Prizes, Don’t forget to also join Burn Fat Club to the right—> Or HERE. Sign up and get your free Workbook that you can use with any weight loss plan. Measurement tracking, shopping lists, meal planner, it’s all in there for you to download and use for FREE!

The Losing It With Jillian 5K episode I am sure will go down as one of my favorites.

Who will win the Biggest Loser in the Finale tonight? Take the BurnFatClub.com poll here:

Tonight is the Biggest Loser Biggest Finale and I can’t wait to find out who the winner is. It’s such a motivational show no matter what you think about the television “magic” they sometimes work. These folks have worked their butts off, no doubt! So tonight, instead of watching Biggest Loser with a bag of chips or tub of ice cream, try out this party idea instead.

We are having a Biggest Finale get together complete with BBQ chicken and veggie skewers on the grill! Everyone is bringing their hand weights to work out during the show and crunches are mandatory during the commercials. Everyone will be decked out in either pink, orange or white to support their “loser” – Ashley, Michael or Daris.  I am wearing pink because I am hoping for a surprise win from the “Pink Ninja,” Ashley! She’s in Knoxville, we are based in Nashville so us TN “ville” cities have to support each other! Also, I just love her confidence that has really developed as the show has gone on.

So grab your friends, some healthy snacks and some dumbbells and enjoy the Biggest Loser, Biggest Finale tonight!

The Jillian Michaels Shred DVD (30 Day Shred) is definitely one of her most popular videos. If you sit around watching the Biggest Loser show on the couch eating ice cream, then you need this DVD. I know you are sitting there thinking, “Man, I wish I had Jillian to make me work that hard and help my big butt lose weight!” Well, now you do. This is definitely the one Jilllian video to get. This DVD has over 1, 867 reviews on Amazon.com, most of which are 5 stars. Jillian of NBC’s hit weight loss show “Biggest Loser” brings all of her training together into this one video called the 30 Day Shred. The cover claims you can lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days so this is great for a wedding or a reunion or even to get ready for the beach.

Jillian Michaels Shred DVD features her prime 3-2-1 Strength-Cardio-Ab training circuit: 3 minutes of strength followed by 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abdominal work (which will kick your butt, or your gut!) There are 3 levels at 20 minutes each, so you start at Level 1 and work your way up. So this is a great DVD for both beginners and more advanced who can do all three levels for a great hour of muscle building and body shaping. There is also a warm up and cool down section.There is a bit of jumping so beginners might stick a little more to the ground to avoid injury at first, but the levels allow you to move at your own pace. You can also move up to different levels if you get bored, just do easier versions of the exercises if you aren’t physically ready for them. But Jillian will motivate and push you to “fight for it” and make sure you aren’t just slacking off for sure!

The Jillian Michaels Shred DVD is the perfect DVD for someone looking to workout at home in 20 minutes!

The Jillian Michaels Ultimatum 2009 for Wii is one of the most popular fitness workouts you can do in your home. Everyone is searching for ways to do it easier and faster and Jillian Michaels and Wii came with a great combination in 2009. The 2010 is also available but if you can’t afford that version, the used copies of 2009 are a great place to start for sure.

* Uses the Wii balance board (sold separately) * 4 Workout types, strength training, weight loss, intervals and h climb * workout activities such as ladder climb, rowing and monkey bars * track your personal data and progress * Lots of lifestyle tips from Jillian But mostly, it just makes working out FUN again and who doesn’t benefit from having Jillian tell it like it is and give you that kick in the butt you know you need. I am a fan of the ladder climb myself because I love that ladder machine they have on the Biggest Loser. So, this is the version you can do without getting that really expensive piece of equipment. You see a lot of the Biggest Loser exercises are full body movements and that is what this workout tries to replicate, with pretty good success.

I recently came across the Jillian Michaels Trouble Zones DVD and wanted to share my review here. Basically, this DVD kicked my butt, in a good way. This is a 40 minute workout that is divided into 7 circuits and the great thing is that you can start the DVD anywhere you like. So you might just want to do one circuit to start with. The only requirement is 3 pound weights and you might need a mat if you have a hard floor for the floor work.

The DVD features Jillian Michaels and two other “models” but I have to say, Jillian doesn’t do a lot of the workout herself (She’s too tired from all of her work like her new show “Losing It” I guess). She spends more time giving some great tips and helping to make sure the exercises are being done correctly. This is something I have noticed a lot with her before, but the workouts are still great. It’s an overall body workout so she targets the usual female trouble spots like the stomach fat, inner thighs, arms, but also includes large muscle groups like the back which I think a lot of women forget to work on.

I actually think this is an older DVD of Jillian’s but it really is one of the best ones I have seen from her. So check out how to get Jillian Michaels trouble zones and start getting that butt-kicking from Jillian.

Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred is a plan offered by the very popular trainer from the television show The Biggest Loser.  In this program, she helps you to lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days.

If you are like many of us looking to lose a few pounds, you want to see results sooner rather than later.  As a matter of fact, seeing slow results is one of the greatest reasons for giving up.  That’s why finding a product like the 30 Day Shred can be helpful.

What’s In It:

3-20 Minute Circuit Training Workouts

Workouts Based on Jillians Strength/Cardio/Ab Training Circuit

If you are having a hard time losing those unwanted pounds, Jillian Michaels is a great mentor to have because she is someone who has been where you are.  Despite her now chiseled body, she was overweight for many years and that’s why her passion to help others to get healthy is so strong.

Many of us are most successful when we see fast results.  The routine in the 30 Day Shred is designed to give you those rapid results with high intensity workouts that can be completed in a short 20 minutes.

Ultimately, products like the 30 Day Shred are not the magic bullet to helping you lose weight.  However, as we have advocated before, it is always great to find a mentor or role model as you strive to hit your weight loss goals.  Luckily, you have access to one of the best via her DVDs, newsletter and other systems.

The way to lose weight fast and easy is to make a plan and to stick to it.  You have probably heard the saying before that “if you fail to plan-you plan to fail.”  This is especially true when it comes to losing weight. 

Many people have full intentions of finally losing weight but they go after it in a haphazard kind of way.  This is not going to work in most circumstances.  Mainly because you  lose track and end up reverting back to normal habits and behaviors that you have been doing for years. 

So, the way to lose weight is to sit down and write out a simple plan.  It does not have to be anything overly complicated.  Let’s take a look at some of the basics and where you might want to start. 

Monthly Food Calendar

One of the best things you can do when it comes to losing weight is to take a close look at what you are eating each day.  You probably already know that the general rule is to burn off more calories than you consume. 

A good way to make this part of your diet plan less stressful is to come up with a weekly or monthly schedule of what you are going to eat.  Needless to say, this list should not and cannot contain unhealthy choices like McDonald’s and other fast food options. 

Instead, you want to come up with healthy choices that you will enjoy eating on a regular basis.  There are plenty of web sites out there that offer healthy recipes and menus or you can pick up a book from your local bookstore.  If you want to check online, just go to google.com and type in “healthy recipes” or something similar to that. 

It is not uncommon for some people to spend the majority of their time focusing on exercise when it comes to dropping pounds, but what you eat is obviously a key factor to lose weight fast. 

The Way to Lose Weight By Exercising

It may sound like common sense that exercise is a great way to lose weight but it is also one of the fastest ways for you to get discouraged.  If you don’t see quick results, stopping your daily exercise routine is one of the first things that will happen. 

Here are some quick tips to keep you on track:

1. Be diverse.  Don’t do the same old things day after day.  It’s important to switch it up.
2. Find an activity that you enjoy that is physical (tennis, dog walking, bike riding, basketball, etc.)
3. Determine the best exercise time for you.  Some people like mornings while others prefer evening workouts.

Find A Mentor

One of the golden rules when it comes to being successful with anything is to find someone to model and follow.  It is the easiest way to avoid wasted time and to make sure that you are doing the right things to accomplish your goals. 

Who is your favorite chef on television that can teach you healthy meals?  Do you ever read or watch segments from Dr. Oz that discuss ways to be healthy?  There are tons of choices out there but find someone that you can relate to and use their experience to speed up your progress. 

If you spend any time watching television, you have undoubtedly heard of Jillian Michaels weight loss and her success on the Biggest Loser show.  She loves to help other people and is one of our top choices for learning what it takes to lose weight.
