    Anyone use/heard of "TurboJam"? It seems great, but I'm curious if it's really all it's cracked up to be.

    3babybeans--so what do you DO to burn the 600 calories in 50 minutes? My workouts don't burn nearly that much.

    :blushing: Turbo Jam. Seriously! I LOVE it! It is such a fantastic workout. Lyn (drevansmom) does it as well. I've been doing it since August & have had FANTASTIC results. I can honestly say that I have never been in this good of shape. :smooched:

    Just thought I would pop in real quick and say a hello...fixin to eat me some oatmeal with a little bit of brown sugar and then clean clean clean....the boys and i are leaving tomorrow to go to houston (about 3 hours away) cause my mother in law got me rodio tickets and i 'm super excited i haven't been in years....even though it means the boys missing a day of school but they were ok with that...LOL they need a break anyways...lol

    Does anyone take any diet pills or anything or do u lose the weight all on ur own watching what u eat and exercising?

    Have a great day

    I can say with near 100% certainty that none of us are on diet pills (that I've met so far). It is hard work to watch your food & exercise, but SO worth it. Once you educate yourself on how to lose weight & eat healthy, the weight will stay off easier b/c you know how you got heavy in the first place.

    Have fun in Houston! I hope the boys enjoy themselves & their day off school! :flowerforyou:

    jcarter--I've used pills in the past, and they honestly didn't help with anything for me...rather just made me feel sick. I say just eat healthy, take a regular multivitamin, and exercise.

    3babybeans--that's what I've heard. Hmm...wish I could get it sent here. I'm coming to the states in May though, so hopefully I can order it before I come and have it waiting for me. Totally worth the money huh?

    Turbo Jam is great!!! I've lost all of my weight in 6 months doing Turbo Jam and using this website. It's fun, motivating, and the music is great. It's addicting. We (3babybeans and I) have a turbo jam thread, so if you want to hear some more "testimonials" jump over (I'll post the thread) and read thru some of the posts. It is TOTALLY worth its money. 3 years ago, I bought the basic set. I lost 20 lbs in 2 months and then I got lazy. After my baby was born in July (and I got the ok from the doc) I started exercising again. In December I was so excited about the results I was seeing and the weight I was losing I spent another $100 on more workouts. I think I ALMOST own the whole collection now and I love every minute of it. I know one of the girls on our thread is in Ireland and had to contact a distributor to get her videos because she couldn't get beachbody, amazon, or ebay to ship them to her. Maybe you could do that. There are a couple of distributors of Turbo Jam here on MFP. If your interested we could give you their screen names and you could contact them.

    Wow, I got excited there for a minute :laugh:

    jcarter-Diet pills are not worth the money. Overall they don't do anything good for you. You can probably lose weight faster and healthier just by watching what you eat and exercising. Educate yourself on foods that are filling and low calorie and make sure you are drinking lots of water. Those will help you so you don't feel hungry.

    I have a job interview today. Could be a work at home and office kinda thing, so I'm really excited about it. I haven't worked in almost a year so I feel a little overwhelmed about the whole idea, but the extra income will be nice. I'm hoping that the employer and I can come to an agreement on hours at home vs hours in the office, plus allow me to bring my baby to the office cuz I don't want to have to get a daycare for just a couple hours a week. We will see. Wish me luck!

    Good Morning from Alaska!
    I really need to clean house, but with Hubby in Iraq I just can't muster the will power for it. I mean if the kids don't care and there isn't anything sticky in sight it can wait, right? I am still kinda new to mfp and was reading over the TurboJam conversation. Never heard of it, but you sound stoked about it. I'll have to look into it, huh? I think I am at a point where my weight loss is definitely slowing down. I'm starting to think that if I could just wean the baby that maybe that extra fat with melt off my buns and thighs, but he's only 8 months and I really don't want to rush things. This is the first really sucessful breastfeeding and I wish I could do it til he was a year old. But, Hubby will be coming home right around then, and I want to look nice, ugh, so conflicted.
    I am still food logging and trying to eat right. I jog too, but I never burn more than 300 cals. So I really need to find some thing that burn more cals with less time. I guess that's what we all would like. Any ideas?

    Oh, don't wean the baby! I had a hard time losing weight with my boys breastfeeding, but I wasn't successful after they quit nursing at 11 months either (they both self-weaned). Turbo Jam has a great sculpting routine that will help firm up the booty & thighs so even if there is a little extra padding there, they'll still look better, kwim?

    I don't want Lyn & I to take over the thread with our praises of Turbo Jam, but her & I are both breastfeeding our daughters & have had a LOT of success with it. Plus, there are so many workouts, I never get bored with it either.

    I think if my husband were overseas, I'd never clean so I feel your pain in that department! I hate cleaning. Well, I actually LIKE cleaning, but turning around to see that the kids have once again destroyed everything is so defeating! They're like walking, talking dirt monsters!

    I have yet to get bored with Turbo Jam. There's a lot of routines to do & it is just simply a lot of fun. You can do this, Carter!

    Thanks! People say that all the time. So one time I pinched her cheeks just to see what she'd do. She spit up on me. :huh:

    Thanks! If I have a boy, I wouldn't be sad but I really wanted a little girl.
    loreeb--Lori is it? Your little girl is so beautiful! What a sweetheart!

    Yep, it's Lori. When I came up with my 1st email address I didn't want to just put my name. My name then was Lori Black and I was 18 so the creative youngin' I was I came up with loreeb18 and now I just use that as my screen name for everything. :laugh: And thanks!
