Making the Cut By Jillian Michaels »
True to form, Jillian comes through in a manner that is clear, concise, and no-nonsense. I lost 32 pounds utilizing her first book, “Winning by Losing.” I’ve maintained my loss for almost a year, in part, by listening to her weekly radio show. She won my loyalty long ago, because this woman KNOWS HER STUFF! So when I heard about her new book, I decided I was ready to dive back in and go for “the cut.” I’ve lost 5 additional pounds in 8 days. I’m so jazzed — thank you, Jillian!
The Biggest Loser Fitness Program by Jillian Michaels »
I bought this book after having read the original “biggest loser” book. and I STRONGLY recommend buying them together. especially if you are just starting out. This book is as it says a “fitness book.” it does not provide all the inspiring stories of the people on the show, and all the helpful information to start you out like the other one does. This book does provide you with several new exercises to add to your circuit to provide you with variety so you don’t get bored. I have lost 51 pounds since September following their exercise program (not even following it exactly, but closely) and following the nutritional guidelines and suggestions they give. I feel great, and I have been able to try several new activities and been surprised by my ability to do them. These two books are the best purchases I have made for myself in years. Bob is such an inspirational trainer. and I can’t wait to see what the next 12 weeks brings.
Body For Life By Bill Phillips »
Posted June 12, 2008, 10:15 AM EST: I followed the workout regimen for 12 weeks. I used BFL and Weight Watchers for my diet. After 12 weeks I had lost 58 pounds, from 302 to 244. Now at 5 months, I am down to 214. As you can see, I did not do just Body For Life, but it was a very good way to begin. Biggest lesson: always try to do a little bit better every time you work out. You will be surprised what you can accomplish.
Posted May 25, 2008, 8:14 AM EST: In 1999 I was barely squeezing into sizes 14/16. At the end of 2000 I was wearing a 6. It’s 2008 and I wear a size 4. I did the Body for Life program and I don’t have to diet today. I’ve taken the things I learned from Bill’s book that as another reviewer said ‘I should have known’ but didn’t and still apply it daily. No gimmicks, just old determination and the commitment to work hard. Thanks, Bill!!! It’s worth your time and every penny you pay for the book if you’ve tried everything
