I'm not new, but will be starting this month, I think. I'm doing a diet bet right now, so I'm going to need to figure out some intervals instead.0

I'm starting over thanks to missing a week thanks to a holiday vacation! Boo!!!
My restart is slated for tomorrow to be on the right schedule!

Hi ladies! I'm in!
CLX is one of my two (JMBB) FAV programs! Completed my first round of CLX in 2012. And I've had a yoyo type of relationship with the program ever since. Trying to start the new year off in the right direction. Yesterday I started logging and did round 4 of BC1 (embarrassed to say continued from Oct!). Last year I gained the 13 lbs that I had lost the previous year and its all jello so its not very pretty, lol.
Hoping to find some MFP friends to help with accountability.0 -
I am doing a CLX/turbofire hybrid I think! 0
-
I started my second round of CLX on 1/4. I am going to mix the cardio days up with running, Turbofire and, the Burn Intervals and Burn It Off from the program.
The first time I completed the program I only used MFP and stuck with everything in moderation. This time around I am trying to clean up my eating and eat more whole foods and get more protein.0 -
Check-in for Wednesday
Workout:
Nutrition: Cal 1098 (1200) / Macro 41c/22f/37p (40c/20f/40p)
Water Intake: 30 oz (min of 60)
Got home late last night so didn't get BC2 done, but will tonight. Nutrition was off but better than Monday or Tuesday. Still working on water intake.
@mfleeg - I've heard a number of ladies that enjoy Turbo, that is a great hybrid!
@Lessthankris - Great to see another CLX buddy, I'm trying to balance my eating habits too.
@pipsg1rl - Thanks for sending the friend request, I need all the help I can get!
Hope you don't mind these notes, really need somewhere to log for accountability. Is anyone interested in starting a Daily Check-in Log?0 -
You totally could introduce a check in log - keep this circle of friends active!0

Hmm, not sure why it copied my first post. I did all three burn circuits and the intervals and burn it off last week. BC1 today. I'm like many of you... Having started a few times and not sticking with it. I have three or four half completed first round logs. I hit my highest weight this Xmas after going up and down for two years... Time to stick with it for good.
For motivation, I'm treating myself to a massage after finishing the burn month. How do you reward yourselves?0 -

My motivation was after losing 10 pounds I needed new workout gear. I said I was going to buy Nike, but wound up buying Under Armour b/c I love it.
I don't reward with food for weight loss, but I have a bad habit of "treating" my son to sweets. I'm getting better about not eating it if he's eating it.
You could try putting $1 in a jar per workout, so at the end of the first month you have $25 toward xyz.
Inexpensive rewards are:
New Headband- I HATE HATE HATE my hair in my face. Even little strands. (I love UA headbands. They are fun colors, stretchy, wide, and cover my 5-head).
New wristbands- I get wicked cardio nose and those bands I can tuck a tissue into! (A new trick for myself)
Mani or Pedi- Chalene even makes a joke about looking at your toes!
Keurig KCups- Try a new green tea or night time tea! That's about $10-14 a box.
Tervis cup or water bottle- In your favorite team or print (order from Bed Bath and Beyond and use your 20% off online code!)
Fancy moisture wicking socks - Puma or Nike brand rock!
...
After writing all the above I realize I haven't set a goal/reward in some time. I'm going to go contemplate/meditate on this.0 -
I like the mani pedi rewards too!
Check-in
Workout: Burn Intervals - and I kicked butt at them today. (2.5 lb weight)
Calories: (not done yet... have chicken salad planned for dinner)
Water: 16 oz so far.
I try to weigh in once a week. I'm down 2.8 lbs from last week - but some of that could be water weight from T.O.M. It also helps I stopped eating all the sweets at work and I'm actually exercising.0 -
I was thinking for reward I'd get either the CLX upgrade or the PiYo upgrade. My true goal is 118, less than 10 pounds away.
Of course, now that i'm working out in the garage, i've realized it's pretty hard when you don't have an instructor to follow!0 -
Started my second week today. I am happy to say I do need to keep increasing the weights. The only problem is I feel like maybe I am not getting the workout I need since I am not failing at 10-12.
This month I am trying to get back to being 10 lbs away from my goal weight. I think I am on track to make that happen now. I am set to finish this in March and we are moving in the next month or so after that, but once we are moved I think I will get a new workout program. It will be a delayed reward but thinking PIYO or Jillian Michael's new program.

Just keep increasing the weight each week until you get there! The second month you lift a lot heavier... I feel like the first month is about establishing your baseline so you can really build muscle then.0

I really really liked PiYo. It leaned me out, not a lot of weight loss though. The workouts are usually under 45 minutes too, so I had time to add in a cool down on the treadmill.
If you are not failing when she says to, are you failing sooner or later? If it's later, you may be lifting too fast. Slow down more?0 -
I could probably do a few more. I am trying to pace with them because last time I know. I did go to fast. I think I just underestimated what I could lift. I took most of December off from working out so I just felt out of shape when I started back up.0
