    I have already been doing it, but I wanted to post and tell you that I am excited for you!! I went into this workout thinking that it wasn't going to really change my body. ( I have been working out for 30 years) But...I am now 45 and things are not the same. I needed a change....and TF was it! OMG....it was FUN and I love it! For the first four weeks I kept my same eating habits. After listening to Charlene talk about food etc...I decided to change my eating habits...just a little...to see what would happen. What I did was...no soda, no additional salt and no eating for a minimum of three hours before bed.

    When I finished the program the first time I lost 24 pounds and inches all over my body and have went down two sizes. WOW...who would have thought! Anyway...I wanted to say good luck to you! Wait until you see how your body transforms! I didn't take any before pictures, but the funny thing is...I had a procedure done where a photo was taken of my abdomen area....one year later I got another photo done...it was so nice to see it in a photo!!

    Kay, are you following a particular meal plan with the workouts?

    I'm not following a meal plan as such just going to cut out a the junk food. So no takeaways, chocolate, sweets, etc. I'm going to try and drink at least 2litres of water too.

    How about you?

    I'm not following a particular meal plan either. I am gonna concentrate on cleaning up my food choices though. I eat a lot of junk food too :) I am gonna try to incorporate more smoothies (fruit and veges). Over the past week, I tried some and really liked them. I have a magic bullet so plan to make good use out of it.

    Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't posted for a while I have had a bad couple of weeks with some family issues and have been preoccupied but hoping to be my come back week this week! I am going to restart from week 3. I definitely need motivation though my body wants to work out but my mind has other ideas at the moment! Gone off track with food too and feeling like crap to be honest! I love this group though so looking forward to supporting each other again xx

    Hey ladies!!

    Thank you for posting your starting stats/goal. Now let's make sure we encourage one another through the highs and lows, the good and the bad....and everything in between :)

    Kay, glad you're back.

    Amber, how did HIIT 15 go? Congrats on the weight loss so far.

    Hi ladies! Today was a challenge for me because I underestimated how sore I would be after doing Fire30 yesterday. I decided to walk on the treadmill today but I will be ready for turbo tomorrow.

    Amber: How did it go? The HIIT workouts will definitely be a challenge for me. I may have to do some modifying.

    SweeteeBri: I managed to post my pics on my profile but my camera is such poor quality.......lol. How are things going for you?


    Keep pushing play!!!! :D

    That's is awesome Ameerah! The HIIT was intense... If you do the modify moves you could possibly get through it... I love the challenge and its a short workout so she defiantly builds up the intensity. Yesterday I did Fire 30 (day three) and I could tell my body was tired. Even though I had energy my body was sore! I know I didn't give as much intensity as I did on day one.

    That's awesome you did the treadmill!!! Better than nothing!!! Everyday is a step closer to a stronger you!

    Ameerah, I'm doing well. Thank for asking. The HIIT workouts are intense for sure but I get through them because they are short :)

    Are you ladies only doing T.F. or are you combining it with other programs/workouts?

    Hey ladies!!!!!! This morning I did HIIT15. Those jumping lunges......omg but I pushed through it and I feel so energized.

    Amber: You rock girl, continue to challenge yourself. Your dedication will definitely pay off. I know you are enjoying your rest day!

    SweeteeBri: I'm glad you are going strong too. I am so thankful you made this thread. I'm predominantly doing TurboFire but I have other programs (Jillian Michaels Shred & Kickboxing, Shaun T Insanity, Steve Uria Ruthless and a Yoga dvd). If I get bored or if im too sore then I will do a different program. The variety keeps me motivated and minimizes excuses.

    I agree Amber. It's easy to get bored with the same workouts constantly so I also have other programs I do. I also do Jamie Eason on bodybuilding.com and about to start the 21 day fix workouts. I have others too. One of my favorites is The butt bible and Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds.

    That's great you powered through HIIT 15. Good for you. Keep pushing toward your goals.
