Join me! Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid starts today!!!

allie7383

Thanks for the BBL review Deb, I'll pass that along! Today was Fire 45, and my midsection is still sore from the Core 20 the day before. I'm loving the workouts, but find myself so tired towards the later half, that I guess I'm starting to get disappointed with myself that I can't go harder or something. I guess this will change as the weeks go by (hopefully), b/c i'm only starting week 2.. I love the fact that Chalene will say things like, "You're not tired!!" b/c hearing it def helps me push through the combos. Tomorrow my friends and I are going to Six Flags, so depending on how tired I am after work tonight, I'll try to get my HIIT done. At least there will be a lot of walking around lol.

Sorry that I've been AWOL of late. I hit a bit of a wall at the end of week #12 (the end of the HIIT cycle) and just felt wrecked. I took two days off, and then two days became 4, which became a full week. I was still walking every day for 75 minutes, but I was just making excuses.

Soooo...I forced myself to get up at 4:15 a.m. this past Wed, Thurs and Friday to do Fire 30 before work and then walked the dogs after I got home. Today, I got back into the groove in week 13/14 and crushed Lean Circuit 1. I'm amazed at how much stronger I am than I was the last time I did a full round of CLX. That said, my arms and hamstrings are TIRED!

Hey everyone! I had such a great weekend, which of course started with some TF/CLX on Saturday morning! I did Fire 30 and Push 2 and had a great burn for my hour workout. I just need to do Push 3 one more time and I'm moving onto the HIIT phase in the hybrid! I didn't get a workout in today. I had my awesome booze cruise last night on the Potomac River (the one that runs along Washington DC) and it was such a great time! I went there not really knowing anyone and I met up with a girl that I had talked to online through the group RSVP site. I hung out with her and her friend... and I met a guy! He works for my company in our Maryland location and we really hit it off. I got home this morning and I'm now waiting for his phone call to chat. I text him to say hi and he said he'd call me to talk! Whoot!! Things are definitely going really well

I also managed to not kill my weight loss for the week between the fall festival I went to and the drinking last night. We'll see for sure tomorrow but I feel good about this weekend's choices. I'm definitely on track to hit 155 by Oct 22nd! I can't believe how fast the 150s are flying by! Push 3 and something cardio is on the menu for tomorrow, talk to you all later!

Lean 1 on Saturday (plus I did an Insanity workout), Fire 60 yesterday...I'm SORE today. Lean 2 on the agenda for today.

Great job over the weekend guys! Well TOM showed up on Friday which explains why the scale went back to 159.3 instead of somewhere in the 158s like it showed all week. No gains from the weekend and we managed to walk a ton Saturday and Sunday.

Today started week 13 which is the beginning of the Advanced TF workouts. Fire 30 and Upper 20 on the schedule. BB said I burned 411 calories. My arms were jello afterward...I love this Upper workout so much more than Tone 30 and Strength 30 because there were no combo moves. Total focus on upper body movements and a bunch of pushups sprinkled throughout. Awesome!

4 days until we leave for our 1 week vacation! Can't wait! By the way, I went to the Gap on Friday to buy a new pair of jeans. Wanted to try a size 8 in the Long and Lean cut (they fit but I didn't like the way they looked) so I tried all of the other styles that have never fit before in a size 10 and OMG the Real Straight ones looked like they were custom made for me...hugged where they were supposed to hug but draped appropriately so they didn't look tight. I was so happy!

Have a great day Ladies!

Burn Circuit 1, Ab Jam, HIIT 20 and 120 minutes on the treadmill. It was a good morning.

Hi ladies! I'm still here! It was a crazy busy weekend for me! I had the ADA walk on Saturday, met lots of people who are already using the Beachbody products and introduce many more to the wonders of Shakeology!!! Then, spent most of the day yesterday shopping around and putting together me and my fiance's Halloween outfits! It's going to be so much fun, I can't wait!

Today started my HIIT workouts!!! Wooo hooo!!! I did HIIT 15, Abs 10 and Stretch 10, great combo!

Sara: Girl, you are kicking butt and taking names! Good for you! Glad you had a good time this weekend and kudos on meeting a boy! Yeah!!! Let us know how it goes! You are just rockin' these workouts! You're a huge inspiration!

Sharon: I can't belive you're already into week 13! I can't wait to try that upper workout, sounds like a good one! So, where are you going on vacation? And great job on the jeans!!! That's one thing I still don't like shopping for! Way to go girl!

Keep up the good work ladies! And Sharon's right, we may have to change the name of this thread to skinny minnie's or something! Have a great day and keep pushing play!

We're going to Carmel for the week. Staying a block from the beach...me, Glenn, and our puppy, Cocoa. May leave the cell phone home just to really get away from life. Lots of walks in the fresh air and will try hard to eat well. Can't wait!!!

I started the HIIT workouts yesterday! I really love those. I've decided that I'm disregarding the fact that apartment is likely to shake during the plyo stuff, I'm giving it a 10! I combined the last Push 3 circuit that I had to do with the HIIT 15 on the schedule for the Transition week. I'm gonna use these HIIT workout days, since they're short workouts, to focus on getting more ab workouts in. I've been badly neglecting them and I need to start doing them a few times a week now that my stomach is starting to flatten out (FINALLY). Core 20 and Abs 10 are great, I just need to make myself do them more. I just joined a challenge to lose 12 lbs by Christmas, and that's 10 weeks away. I'll be done with the hybrid by then and there's lots of fat burning workouts in the weeks ahead, it's definitely a goal I'm gonna hit!

ddavies919

Hi girls! How is everyone's day going so far? Mine is busy! But I did get my workout in. I did Fire 45 and BBL's High & Tight. I have decided that I'm going to incorporate that every other day to keep my bum bum and thighs in shape! I love it!

Sharon: I hope you have a wonderful vacation; sounds like fun!

Sara: I have no doubt you'll reach your goal of losing 12lbs by Christmas; you've hit every goal so far! You go girl! Or should I say, you goal girl! lol :laugh:

All the other ladies out there, keep up the good work and don't give up! Keep pushing play! I'm headed out to a Seattle Sounders game; my fiance got free tickets from work! See you all in the am! Have a great evening!

today was Fire 55EZ, Ab Jam, Stretch 10 and 120 minutes on the treadmill. good workout day.

Deb I hope you had fun at the Sounders game.

Morning Girls. Hope everyone is having a great day so far. TF 60 on today's schedule...wow what a workout. My entire body was drenched when I finished. 4 fire drills and way more advanced combos...this one will take a bit for me to get all the choreography down. Have to say this may become my absolute favorite though...I love the music and Chalene's choreography is spot on. If you haven't tried this one yet you have a treat to look forward to!

Bodybugg said I burned 587 calories and that was with the learning curve! I didn't do the new to class feature because I just didn't have extra time this morning. As I get better at the combos I expect to see the burn results increase.

I love strength days. Today was Burn 2, Core 20, HIIT 20 and 130 minutes on the treadmill. I am soooo hungry for lunch. :happy:

00trayn

I managed to get a nice run/walk in yesterday and I was running late tonight so I only did HIIT 15. That's why I love the HIIT workouts, even if I only have 20 minutes to spare, I can get a great workout in! The scale is continuing to drop, it was at 156.2 lbs this morning! My guess is that all this working out with Chalene has really revved up my metabolism and with my calories around 1200-1300, I'm just burning fat like crazy. I'm making sure I don't work out too long, I don't want my body to be underfed and overworked. So far the balance I have is working great

And my Halloween costume came today!!! I tried it on and it's a bit snug, but it still looks really good. I just won't sit down in it... hehe.

allie7383

hey everyone! well after being rather sick the last couple days, i got back on the TF train with HIIT 15 and a 20 min Strength workout. wow were my arms burning during that one! tomorrow is Fire 55 EZ, my second time with it, and i'm just hoping to be better at it this time and get through more at the higher intensity than last time.. the scale dropped another pound or so, and for the first time i briefly saw just into the 160's! then of course i stepped onto the scale again and it went back to 170.5 lol.. my goal for the end of the year is to be at 160.. so near yet so far!

telcochik

Keep going, Allie! I know you can do it!

Today instead of doing Core 20/Stretch 40 as scheduled I did 45 EZ and Lower 20. BB said I burned 502 calories and the evil scale showed 157.4 lbs...YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Driving to Carmel very early Saturday morning so I'm going to have to skip my TF workout which is why I switched Saturday's schedule with today's. Tomorrow...2nd attempt at TF 60. Burn baby burn!!!!

Have a great day all!
Sharon

gearing for Fire 60 class in a few and then an hour walking the dogs. I'm feeling tired, but I'm gonna' go crush that play button.

ddavies919

Hey girls! Gosh, I have just been swamped trying to finish up my Halloween costume! LOL Sorry for the late replys. Today was Fire 45 EZ and Stretch 10 for me; for some reason, I don't get as much of a burn with the 45 than I do with the 55, I mean I know adding 10 minutes would have something to do with it but I feel like there's more moving and jumping with the 55 EZ; probably because there's no fire drills in the 45 EZ too. Anyway, it was a good workout after all.

Allie: Hang in there girl and keep pushing play; you'll hit your goal! I know it!

Sharon: Congrats on the scale moving! Woo hoo! Welcome again, glad to have you and have fun on vacation! Make sure to check in when you get back!

Nancy: I love the way you put that....."crush that play button!" Love it!

Keep doing your thing girls! We are going to rock right through the holidays with no problem! The fire will keep away all the temptations! Burn baby burn!

Morning girls! I didn't get my Turbo Fire in yesterday because of a crazy evening of running errands for this weekend. I'm going up to the Jersey Shore (trust me, nothing like the TV show!!!) for my cousin's wedding. Eating out at restaurants, an open bar, wedding cake... ACK! I'm gonna have to focus getting some exercise in and keeping my calories down. My goal for this weekend is not to gain anything. I was an awesome 155.6 lbs this morning, another 2.2 lbs lost this week! My body fat has gone down 0.8% in 2 weeks, I'm thanking these HIIT workouts for that! I'll be picking up with things as soon as I'm back on Sunday. I want to look my best for my birthday next Friday. I'm going to be seeing the guy from the booze cruise and it looks like it's going somewhere We've been talking on the phone or text just about every day since this weekend

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

ddavies919

Hi girls, well I had to hold off on the workout this morning, heading over to my friend's to spend the day sewing and working on our Halloween costumes! Hopefully it won't be too late tonight to get it in. If so, I'll double up tomorrow with a HIIT and a Fire workout!

Sara: I'm soooo happy for you girl! :happy: Keep up the good work and keep setting goals! You are rocking this program for sure and I know you'll meet your next goal! Have fun at the wedding but don't go overboard; you'll do fine. And sounds like love is in the air for you! Woo hoo!

Hello to all the other ladies! I hope everyone has a good Friday and a great weekend and remember, just because it's the weekend, don't start skimping on the food or the workouts! Stay focused and you'll reach your goals! Have a great day!

mixed it up today and did turbo jam punch kick and jam - was seriously laughing becuase i thought it was so SLOW compared to Turbo FIRE and i used to huff and puff my way through that one.... great to actually FEEL how far i've come...
have a great weekend everyone.

telcochik

Hi Guys...well day before vacation and I'm already counting minutes until I can leave work!

TF 60 this morning. Did a little better following along and BB said I burned 536 calories.

Sara - enjoy the wedding. Just be conscious of all your choices and you'll be fine. This is life, not a diet, so you'll always have challenges to face. Remember, now you know how to get rid of the weight so any gain is temporary. I tell myself that all the time so I don't freak out when things don't go the way I've planned!

Allison - great job on making it through your workouts. It's amazing how much more stamina I too have after 13 weeks of Turbo Fire.

Deb - I will talk to you when I get back. Can't wait for us to go through the kick off coach's session. I'm psyched!

Enjoy the next week Ladies and I'll talk to you when I get back from vacation.

Forcing myself to push play today. I succeeded in completing burn Circuit 3 and HIIT 20 as well as an hour on the treadmill. I am having one of those days where I just didn't want to but I did anyway. I am glad I did since DH is taking me out on a date tonight to try to get me out of my "I've been out of work and stuck at home for over a year" funk. I needed to burn the calories so I can enjoy myself tonight.

Hello! Just wanted to stop in and offically say I AM STARTING TURBO FIRE NEXT WEEK!!!!! I am actually starting the 5 Day Inferno on Monday and the following Monday the 25th I start the actual thing. I got my shakeology this past Wednesday which is mainly what I've been waiting on to get here. You guys make me so excited to start... love reading your posts. I will let you know how things go as I get going with it offically:happy: .

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

telcochik

Hi Swinnie! Welcome to our little group! You're going to love Turbo Fire. Keep us posted on your Inferno journey...I decided not to do it but I'm curious to hear your thoughts (and about your success)!!!!!

What flavor of Shakeology did you get?

Best of luck in your first week!
Sharon

allie7383

hey girls! just wanted to say that i'm so so glad to find this thread. just reading all the positive and encouraging posts gets me so motivated to keep at TF. today was good. i was off last night (I work night shift at a hospital), and had a doctor's appt in the morning so i was up early. took care of that business, then had nothing to do, so i got in Core 20 and Fire 55! def a tiring workout, which i contemplated stopping after the fire drill, but i stuck it out. my fam and i went to a hockey game before i went into work tonight and we had special seats which offered a buffet... yeah i'm not gonna lie, i ate more than i prob should have, but i'll prob never be in that place again so i wanted to take advantage of the free food a bit lol. now that i doubled up i'm only a day behind in the schedule, since missing monday due to sickness.. hope everyone has a great weekend! sunday will be a challenge since i was invited to a friend's family reunion at an italian restaurant.. gonna try to keep the pasta to a minimum!

ddavies919

Ladies, ladies, ladies! I'm still here! So sorry for not posting this weekend, I am soooo tired!!! lol I spent the last 3 days sewing! OMG! The good news is, it looks great! It better!!!

I feel like a bum though because I was't able to get in my workouts but I'm going to crank them out, probably double up this week just to make me feel better.

You girls are doing great! Love to see all of this passion for health & fitness!

Sharon: Hope you're having a good vaction! Can't wait to get you started when you get back!

Robin: Hope you had a good date night with DH! I know how it feels, I've been out of work for almost 2 yrs now!!! However, I'm thankful for BB, because it's been a great supplemental income for me.

swinnie: Yeah!!!! You are going to love Turbo Fire! And the inferno is great!!! So, I wanna know too, what flavor of Shakeology did you get? I'm always curious because everyone's different. Can't wait to read your posts about the workouts!

Allie: We are glad to have you and glad that we can help support and motivate! And way to stick it out through the workout, I bet you felt so much better after you finished! So, how did Sunday go? Did you survive the Italian restaurant ok?

Well, I gotta run so I can drop kids off at school, come home, get the Shakeology in my system and then pus play!!!! I'll see you in WOWY!!!!

Deb

ddavies919

Now I'm off to Costco to get some good grub! I miss my hummus wraps! Yummmm!!!

Have a great day girls! Rock it!

Hello everyone! Checking in for the first time... today was Fire 55 EZ and stretch 10 to start of the inferno and I really enjoyed it. I definitely sweat my guts out on this workout and felt great afterwards. So far the meals make me feel like I'm eating a lot because Mondays are my off day from work so I sleep in later, but at least I don't feel like I'm starving right from the start. Trying to figure out how I'm gonna make tomorrow's workouts work with my schedule. I have been getting up at 4am to take my puppy out, get dressed, and get my workouts done in the morning so I have from 5am to 6am to get ready for work, then my commute's a 1/2 hr to work, and my doctor starts clinic at 7:30 so I have to have everything ready by then. I'm wondering how crazy I would be to get up at like 3:45am to give me enough time to do Fire 45, HIIT 20, and Stretch 10. I'm gonna try it and I keep telling myself its only for two days this week, I can handle it.

ddavies919 & telcochik : Thanks for the welcome. I ordered the combo pack of both chocolate and greenberry shakeology. I have tried the chocolate and love it, but haven't tried the greenberry so this will be a new experience for me when I have to have it for my snack on wednesday. I'll let you know my opinion :happy: .

Hope you all have a great day and are enjoying the fall weather!

Good lordy that Sculpt 30 was no joke!!! It was harder than some of my Chalean Extreme workouts. I also tightened my adjustable exercise band and I think I might need to put it back... haha. My arms are now jello too. I had a great calorie burn tonight and I hit my goal of working out an hour. Tomorrow I think I'll do Fire 55EZ or something, I need a solid cardio day.
