We’ve reviewed loads of Jillian’s workout DVDs before, but this DVD is definitely the hardest and the most complete of them all. She’s fired up, and in four 30ish-minute workouts that go from slightly hard to “OMG, Jill, why do you hate me and my muscles so?” you’ll get one of the closest experiences to training with Jillian on The Biggest Loser Ranch as you can without really being there. How clothes fit, body measurements, and side-by-side photos can all be extremely helpful when the scale may not be moving.Not that Jillian was playing before, but in Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, she certainly isn’t playing. Don’t let the scale be the only thing you use to measure your success.
I lift, run, do HIIT workouts, you name it.
Now, I exercise six days a week for 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the day. I had heard great reviews about her program, and with two children under 2 years old, 25 minutes a day of an at-home workout felt really doable. I needed something I could do with minimal time but that would get results. She's not a nutritionist, so definitely consider speaking to your doctor or a dietitian ahead of starting your own weight-loss journey if you're not sure if it's a fit for you.) (Important: As Tiffany's website says, results are not guaranteed on the plan-it's just what she personally did to lose weight, and she put it into writing. And for less than $20, the plan felt like a safe investment. Everything I had considered prior to finding this meal plan was either too restrictive or not restrictive enough. Tiffany is the creator of the searching through her profile and the page, Tiffany's vibe and her program felt like a great fit for me. I searched Instagram for popular hashtags #weightloss #weightlosstransformation and I stumbled across the profile of (her name is Tiffany). Ultimately, I found the 21-Day Meal Plan, which is what I have stuck with since the day I committed to losing weight.Īfter that holiday stretch, I started looking online for weight-loss programs. I had my second daughter 22 months later and left the hospital at over 300 pounds. After my daughter was born, I tried numerous crash diets and quick fixes that, of course, didn’t work. Then I gained over 50 pounds during my pregnancy. I reached my highest weight of 250 pounds before getting pregnant with my first child. That's where a spiral of weight gain began for me. In 2012, I graduated from university and found myself wondering, what next? But a year later, after graduating and entering the workforce, my father passed away and I quickly turned to food as my comfort. I spent my entire life being the "bigger friend." I played sports and always felt that even though I was bigger than all of my peers, that my weight was under control.
I hit a breaking point and knew I wanted to lose a lot of weight, so I found a food plan on Instagram that ended up helping me drop over 100 pounds. I’m a former medical social worker turned social media influencer and project manager for a non-profit community food security program. I'm Jasmine Parent ( 30, of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada).
