I am on week 8 of Turbo Fire and while I have lost around a pound a week and love the workout, I'm not so sure that I should finish. I am noticing that I am no longer losing inches just the scale is going down. My plans were to complete the 12 weeks of Turbo Fire and then start P90X, but I am wondering if I should go ahead and make the switch? I am afraid that maybe I am burning muscle now and definately do not want that!

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!

    Entirely up to you. I have loved both programs!!! One the one hand, you only have 4 weeks left... so why not finish it out. BUT... if you're getting bored and/or WANT to switch it up, then go ahead and switch. :)

    Would you be interested in doing them both as a hybrid? There is a rotation schedule for it.

    I'm almost done with P90x. Where as I have really toned and lost inches, the scale hasn't moved. I say finish it up and then move on to P90x. You want to be as light as possible before getting started if your interested in weight loss

    Well I guess maybe I should also add that I am 5'2'' and 123 pounds and I do have some fat to lose, but is it good to lose weight on the scale but not see it in the measurements?

    "I just joined the Beachbody team as an Independent Beachbody Coach in November because I believe in their products (and have seen results!) I'd love to help out with motivation/encouragement with your fitness goals! "

    - Boy, I'd love to talk to you! I have P90X and love it. Also have Turbo Jam. There are a couple of other beachbody workouts I'd like to get, but having a hard time deciding what would be best. I am running now, too -so that cuts 3 days a week out of any other workout plan I try to follow...

    I agree it's up to you,but why quit when you are so close ?! A hybrid is a great idea too ! I found P90X to be a little boring for me, even though I had started seeing great results, I just became bored. Good Luck ! :)

    Ya know, I was doing the same thing (mind you I have already done P90X twice) but I think TurboFire was just too much cardio and I was losing muscle mass. I say move on to P90X!

    Several folks have mentioned a hybrid - and that's a GREAT idea!!! I'm currently on the TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid.

    I will also say.... I did the ChaLEAN Extreme program last fall and got the most amazing results out of everything I've tried thus far... Worth looking into! :-)

    Hmmmm...so I have been thinking about starting P90X or TurboFire but I wasnt sure what one would be best for me. So If I am 5'2 and around 115 would you suggest P90X as Im not looking for a lot weight loss just toning with a little added cardio?

    Does anyone have this to share? I'm doing TurboFire right now, but was wanting to do some sort of P90X hybrid once I finish.

    I should be able to access this at home tonight if you can help remind me. :)

    Thanks everyone. I think that I have decided to start P90X once I get my hands on it. (I am borrowing from my brother in law) I think that I am ready for the muscle!
