Subscribed to your blog. I love Jillian because she gives it to you straight and doesn’t accept excuses – she definitely keeps me motivated.
“Com’on.. this is where the magic happens, DO NOT QUIT” That’s the little blurb Jillian says so emphatically that keeps me workin it (and of course getting a bikini body going on at 45 !) ..plus I figure if I can look anything close to what you look like I need to do more of what you do ! Rock it blackandi!
Ok It finally let me log on. I would love the DVD. I don’t know much about Jillian Michaels because I do not watch The Biggest Looser. I am to busy watching kids tv because of my 16 month old. But I have seen her in the mags and on different sites. She inspires me bacause in a field that is normally seen as a man’s line of work, she has dominated! Her and I almost share a B-day. She was born Feb 18th which is my grandmother’s b-day and my b-day is Feb 16th. But she is younger then me. I didn’t grow up over weight like her but I did start getting overweight in High school. I lost all that weight before college and pretty much kept it off until now. I now want my body back that I let stress take over. I was also told Yoga was a great way to help with stress.
I haven’t been on twitter in a lONG time but my twitter ID is either KJsMOM or KJs_MOM. I am a facebooker mainly.
“your neck is not invited to this party ” !! Whoa , what kind of party IS this ?!?! …. Im in the middle of 30 Day shred, I also do No More Trouble Zones and Power Sculpt ……. Funny, Ive NEVER seen “The Biggest Loser” , except when looking in the mirror ( JUST KIDDING !! ) I’ve always been interested in yoga, but never tried it …. I can do a kick @** PLANK pose !!
Let me start by saying I’d LOVE this DVD. I’m a yoga junkie
I thought I was in good shape until I signed up for belly dance class. Turns out being thin doesn’t = in good shape. I had to stop half way through the class. I bought Jillians 30DS and then NMTZ & BFBM. It has really kicked my butt and brought up my endurance! I’m 39 and plan to run my 1st 5k on May 1st now! Jillian has definately inspired me to build up my enduance and without that I would have never even considered running a 5K. Young or older, Jillian does motivate. I love her comment on 30DS, “You don’t get abs like these for free people”
Jillian is my new expert!! She is the PERFECT trainer for me, and I would so love to meet her!! She makes me move when I don’t want to, and I work hard so I won’t “let her down” (I KNOW she can’t see me!!). I always feel so good when she heaps the praise on us at the end of the workout! I also really appreciate her comments about the stretches because I am also “notoriously inflexible.” I would love this DVD as I am collecting and creating exercise programs for myself.
I always read your posts on Sparkpeople but never picked up the fact that you had your own blog! Wahoo!
Your journey has been inspirational to read.
Jillian is a no-nonsense trainer. I need someone like her with attitude to make me do one more rep or one more circuit. I LOVE NMTZ and have successfully completed Making the Cut. She too is inspirational coming from a rough childhood where she was big and made herself into a role model.
Hi! I love Jillian for her blunt yet compassionate honesty and her insistence that we all can do so much more than we allow ourselves to believe. That she is also “wicked hot” doesn’t hurt either!! And by the way, April 16th (the last day to enter) is my birthday!!! Thanks so much for this fun and generous opportunity!
I love Jillian and I would love to win her yoga dvd. I have not done any yoga but I think doing yoga with Jillian will be the way to start doing yoga. I love Jillian for a couple of reasons one from the biggest loser the way she does not take any crap and then her other dvds cause she is the reason I have lost the flab on my stomach and I have to love her for that reason.
I love Jillian. I have been using her DVD’s 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. I watch the biggest loser and I like how she can get in your head and make you keep going. I have really got great arms and abs from her tough no nosense style!
I am a sparkperson and enjoy your posts in the clean eating group. I just subscribed to your blog. I love Jillian’s kickbutt style and I love yoga!
I’m curious to see what Jillian has come up with – with respect to a yoga vid. Knowing that she was formerly a larger size gives her a bit of street cred in my humble opinion. Love to see if the Meltdown, melts me!
I’m a subscriber as yogawithgailee at gmail dot com, and I’ve followed you under my twitter name of yogawithgaileee and put you on my “Yoga” list.
I’m doing a yoga neti pot giveaway on my site, if you are interested!

I love Jillian! She has inspired me so much. I started watching the Biggest Loser and wasn’t sure what to think about her in your face attitude but man she gets results and that is what I want. I remember an episode when some was walking on a treadmill I believe and they kept stopping, Jillian said “If you stop one more time I will break your knee caps off.” I use that same sentence to motivate me when I am riding my bike and I don’t think I will make it up a hill. I then bought some of her work out videos: How to be the biggest winner (or something like that and I love them but I wish they had a schedule it would help me), And the 30 day Shred. I would love to own more of her videos but finances don’t allow me to buy them at this time.
So I would be very grateful if I was to win the Yoga Meltdown! I have heard a lot of good things about it.
I like Jillan and followed her from Biggest loser club. I bought Wii fit plus in hopes of gettin her workout game. I want her dvd but I am scared at the same time that she is gonna kick my butt. Which is the best dvd of hers to start with??
Jillian has drive and determination and that’s what I like about her. You have drive and determination and like I told you once before in the past I want to grow up to be just like you( even thou I’m much older than you, that’s just the way I feel). Jillian looks past the tears and open your eyes to your fears and help you concur reality and see the finsih picture. I hope I when , this would also be nice as far as stress and over body workout. Thanks for letting me be considered.

Jillian has helped me succeed where other programs have not – she keeps me challenged and motivated and I am now addicted to her workouts! Love her comments in the Shred and other DVD’s; and I just can’t enough of Jillian! Please keep the rotation ideas coming – those help tremendously.
i love jillian.. i’ve pretty much canceled my gym membership and have turned to her dvds for exercise and weight loss. I feel like i’ve almost built a personal relationship with her and i believe she can deliver the results she promises. this would be a great dvd to add on to my dvds because i never have done joga and would love to try it with jillian. thanks kandi for such a great give away.

I came across your post in the 30DS forum this morning..I have been eyeing the Yoga Meltdown but haven’t gotten it as I wasn’t sure if I could do it lol. But I’d really like to try! Jillian Michaels has been great for me, although her talking through the workouts can get annoying it does help to keep me motivated..the best though is knowing that they struggle with the workouts too and I am not alone
I’m following you on twitter too, kmomtog:)
Hey~ actually subscribed to your blog the other after checking out your SP page.
I want in for the DVD giveaway too!
Day 7 of level 1 today, and really can’t wait to do the rest of the levels. Keep reading good reviews on Jillian’s other DVDs. Looking forward to one day able to do the 30 day slimdown. Have you decided to do P90x yet? That’s something I’d really like to look into when I get more fit!
What can I say that everyone else hasn’t said? She kicks my butt like no other TV trainer, not only that but she has faith that no matter your skill level you can still do what she asks….if you push yourself. I like that she puts the responsibility square on my shoulders. I haven’t had much luck in the yoga department, like Jillian I have NO FLEXIBILITY. If anyone can get me into a yoga pose, it would be her! Thank for the gift and continued encouragement on SP.
KIM (Subscribed and used the opportunity to de-clutter that folder, thanks)
Jilian’s attitude and tenacity ROCKS!!!!! She is truly an inspiration to me
Jillian is great because she excepts one to realise why they are the way they are and move on anyway. No excuses!!
I absolutely love Jillian! She doesn’t sugar-coat things and gets in your face. I just completed day 7 of the 30 Day Shred, and even though I scream at the TV while working out (lol), she keeps me coming back for more!
Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway and for all the information you share on your blog!

Jillian Michaels, she is a shaker and mover. I recently started to get to know her through the BL and I am reading her newest book. I feel connect to Jillian because she went through what each of us has in the past or are currently going through. There are so many levels of the onion to peel off and melt away. I feel that Jillian dvd’s help me get towards my goals. I am so happy for someone to be real to us and not a phoney. This is why I like Jillian Michaels. Thanks
Jillian is the all time BEST! She motivates beyond what any other trainer has attempted to do. She has tenacity, spunk, and an incredible desire to push you beyond where you think you must stop. Jillian pushes hard but yet somehow manages to get into your skin and keep you coming back for more. I generally drop most programs within a few days. I still do, but I am always willing to squeeze in her 20 mins. when I’m determined. For instance, on Mondays I squeeze in her 30DS in between getting home from work at 6:00 p.m. and leaving for a business class 6:45 p.m. Her drive pushes my drive and I love that about her! My favorite Jillian remarks – “Your neck is not invited to this party” and “We did not come this far to give up now.” I often tell myself this when I’m on my runs. Just when I feel I can’t run no more I hear in Jillian’s voice, “we didn’t come this far to give up now!” Go Jillian!
Wow! What a great site! Given my complete obsession with the 30 day Shred, I’m sure I would love this DVD. I swear, Jillian should pay me some sort of commission! I tell EVERYONE about the Shred! I know I’ve sold at least 10 DVD’s for her! lol Thanks for the opportunity to join your site and enter the giveaway! Keep Shreddin’!
I subscribed and follow you on Twitter (@krtrumpet).
Jillian motivates me because she just doesn’t take no for an answer. Some of those other fitness DVD people who just smile and shoot rainbows at me just don’t push me. When they say, “This is FUN! SMILE!” I tell them to suck it and I turn off the workout. LOL. Jillian acknowledges that it’s HARD, which is what I like. No sugar coating!
Jillian knows her stuff, she’s successful, and she has provided, by far, the best workouts for me. I never worry that I haven’t done enough with her; I can feel it as I crawl to the shower every morning!
