    Brittany you are my inspiration!!! I hate to give advice now knowing that I didn't follow it myself yesterday but if you stick to cleaner eating then I'll bet the weight loss stays off permanently. My husband has a business trip out of town at the beginning of April and he'll be gone for a couple of days. I'm going to do the cleanse while he's gone.

    WTG on your workout today. It was great to talk to you yesterday!

    Sharon,

    Please continue to advise! I think when I get my next month of Shakeology, I'm going to use one shake a day as a meal replacement to help keep me on track. That won't solve my calories issue (I'm a work in progress, what can I say...slowly but surely I'll get those calories up), but it will help me be healthier. Plus, it really did make a difference in how I felt!

    What exercises are you ladies using 25+ pound weights for?! That is amazing!

    I plan to use 25s on all lower body lifting exercises...squats, lunges, sumo squats. Gotta go heavy and after one month of CLX I'm ready to advance to the next level!

    Okay I was out of town but now I am back. I am a 24 year old mom of two little boys ages 2 and 9 months so they keep me pretty busy. Right after I had Keaton (my second) I weighed 180 (but to be fair I had eclampsia) so after about 2 weeks when the water came off I was 145. I completed Chalean extreme and ended at 116 and then took a four month break (bad idea) but somehow managed to get down to 112. When it started to come back I bought turbo fire and have started it a few times with interruptions. So far I have been doing pretty good this is week 3. I missed two days because my boys got RSV but I am ready to jump back in. My goal is 108. I am 5'2" and pretty petite. But because eating of bad habits I keep falling back to about 114. I love to run but I live in WY and it is still freezing here most days with to much snow to run right now. Anyway I need to finish help! It seems like these last few lbs are impossible to loose.

    Happy Monday! I bit the bullet and decided to use my new Polar T7 HRM during today's Turbo Fire workouts. I did Greatest HIITs and Fire 45. HRM said I burned 616 calories. That's higher than my Bodybugg and the HRM I was previously using. The chest strap will definitely take some getting used to but it wasn't terrible. It fit really snugly under my sports bra. Since I don't eat back all of my exercise calories, I'm not too concerned about how these results compare to the other devices I've previously used.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    WAY TO GO!!! That is awesome!

    Also, great workout yesterday! I love pure cardio!

    I'm going to get in chest/shoulders/triceps today and may squeeze in some cardio as well. Have a busy day though...getting the little man's hair cut for the first time today and I am a little sad about it! Also am watching my 6 month old niece this afternoon/evening from 3-8 so will need to fit all working out in PRIOR to that!

    I had a bad day yesterday. I got discouraged this weekend after seeing a 2.5lb increase on the scale after what I thought was healthy eating. Thought the cleanse results may not be permanent. But I'm happy to report that this morning, those 2.5 pounds are gone again and I'm back to my 'post' cleanse weight. Now I'm going to try to stay off the scale until Friday morning!

    My goals for today: log my water intake (I'm usually very good with drinking at least 64oz, but never log it), plan a 'consistent' meal plan (going to start planning more and eating more of the same basic things, to help keep me on track), stock up on lots of veggies. My breakfast is going to consist of one egg and 3 egg whites with ground turkey. Now to just plan lunch and dinner. I think I will stick with the same meals for a week at a time to make sure I stay on track!

    Wow...this got long...sorry! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

    Good job on the weightoss Cookie! I'm sure that it feels so good when you get to then next round of numbers. I myself can't get past the 130's not sure what I'm doing wrong.. But, I'm not going to give up!

    I did Turbo Fire 30 and BBL bum bum yesterday, Never had the chance to post anything as I had a few appointments that had me driving more then anything lol I was gone and had to settle for fast food lunch, but I did just have a soft steak fresno taco from taco bell and a half a hamburger from a restaurant. (I know, bad) but I did have a salad :)

    Today, I did lean 3, but I had to stop about 10 min early. but will get back to it as soon as I am done working for a few hours, I'm going to had in a hiit 15 too, to make up for the burger that I ate :)

    I am really thinking about doing the cleans, Just got my income tax check so may be buying myself a little special treat. I already drink, either a Atkins Advantage Milk Chocolate Delight Shake or Jillian's shake.. (love chocolate with a banana in it)

    Hope everyone has a good day!!

    Brittany - I'm so happy to hear that the 2.5lbs are already gone. If I could stay off the scale that would be better for my psyche as well! :ohwell:

    Chrissie - I think you will like the cleanse. You can only buy the kit from a coach so if you don't already have one let me know.

    Today was pure cardio for me! I only rotate between 3 of the insanity workouts, because the actual "plyo" dvds are just way to hard on my knees and ankles. But I think I do pure cardio a lot! Must be because it's 40 minutes! Still a great burn though!

    Bad dinner...had a lean cuisine because I got stuck at work, didn't have anything for dinner, and then got home at 8pm so lean cuisine it was. But otherwise fairly good food day for me! YAY!

    I'm saying it again out loud - I WILL NOT step on the scale until Friday morning! :)

    Have a great evening everyone! And Sharon, smooches back at ya for being so awesome!

    Good Morning Everyone! ChaLEAN Extreme day for me...Push Circuit 2 and Ab Burner. I found myself using 20 lb weights during the single leg deadman lifts...OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

    Brittany - I like Pure Cardio as well...but strangely enough my favorite Insanity workout is Max Interval Cardio :noway: I don't know why, especially since it's almost an hour long, but I do. Still don't think I'm even close to being ready for The Asylum though. I keep hoping Chalene is putting touches on something new but I don't think we'll see anything until next year at the soonest.

    Great job yesterday, as always, Moraima!!!

    Talk to you all later!

    Ok I ended up working an 8 hour shift instead of a 4 hour shift. Didn't want to do anything, but made myself push play! Got in back and biceps! One more week of phase 2 and then onto the next 4 week phase! Can't believe I'm almost 2/3 done with P90X! Think I will keep going with the schedule regardless though as I'm really liking my workout schedule right now! But time will tell! Maybe I'll incorporate running and more treadmill work after my 90 days are up!

    I'm covering a 12 hour shift today, 8:30 to 8:30, and I normally don't work on Fridays! Going to be a long day! So, I am planning to do a quick work out this evening! Bringing lots of fruits and veggies to snack on.

    Made a protein shake for breakfast this morning as I'm short on time. Vanilla protein powder, water, strawberries, and a little chocolate syrup. Delicious and it made like 4 cups so that should help keep me full! HAHA!

    My weight is still the same...but at least I didn't gain any real weight back after the cleanse...that's encouraging!

    Have a great Friday everyone!

    Morning Peeps! Turbo Fire day today...Fire 45 and a much needed Stretch 10. HRM said I burned 515 calories which is good because friends are coming over and we will be drinking wine tonight!

    Nice planning Brittany...12 hour shifts sound LONG!!!! Happy to hear you've made some conscious decisions about what to eat today. Great job mainaining the cleanse loss as well. That can't be easy to do!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

    Good morning,

    Nice burn Sharon, and Cookie, I couldn't do the 12 hrs. When I worked at the hospital, they offered the 12 hrs, but I just couldn't do it. Hopefully everything went well!

    I am trying to get myself motivated for a good workout this morning. A bit over tired as I stayed up till 11 last night washing floors then up early this morning! I had 2 days of not working out, so I really have to do this today.

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

    Hey Sharon! I'm not sure if you got my previous post but I really need some advice and encouragement to work off these last few lbs. Okay I was out of town but now I am back. I am a 24 year old mom of two little boys ages 2 and 9 months so they keep me pretty busy. Right after I had Keaton (my second) I weighed 180 (but to be fair I had eclampsia) so after about 2 weeks when the water came off I was 145.

I missed two days because my boys got RSV but I am ready to jump back in. My goal is 108. I am 5'2" and pretty petite. But because eating of bad habits I keep falling back to about 114. I am currently 111. I love to run but I live in WY and it is still freezing here most days with to much snow to run right now. Anyway I need to finish help! It seems like these last few lbs are impossible to loose. Thanks! I will log my workouts everyday on here. Today is core 20 stretch 40 of turbo fire for me.
