Welcome! Even if your not "new" to TF, we welcome you to join us!
I am a 38/F wife and mom. My hubby lost 50 lbs in 2011 and I have an active (and tall!) 6 year old little boy. It's now my turn! I started doing TF on 12/26/2011 and really like it. I love the energy of the people here on MFP and hope we can encourage and motivate one another to reach our goals!

Hi Liv! Thanks so much for inviting me! I'm really excited to get started here. I have done approximately 5 or 6 workouts with TF already, but never had time to get in a schedule or routine yet. I'm planning to do this now!! I'm really excited, and hope we can all support and motivate each other.
Are any of you doing the schedule that came with the program?? Did you do the jumpstart or whatever it's called?? The first week amped up version...
Let me know!! Oh and if you want to start it together I would love to do it with you!!! :0)
My name is Tausha. I just turned 30 in October and I am a wife and mommy of 1 little boy.0 -
You bet Tausha - thanks for being here!
I follow the schedule as best I can. I do change it up when needed. I am on week 2 headed into week 3. I will also be traveling the next 2 weeks so I will have to rely on hotel and cruise ship weight rooms and programs.
My Beach Body TF challenge starts on the 9th and is 90 days! Wish me luck! 0 -
Thanks for the invite. I completed Chalean Extreme in the summer of 2010 and completed 20 weeks of TF Spring of 2011. I lost 65 lbs but have gained a few back. I started Round 2 of TF this morning along with completing CE 3 days a week.
I have been married 22 years and have a 19, 15 and 14 year old. I teach at a high school and coach football and track. Let's do this. 0 -
Hey!!
I'm looking at these results and WOW!! I am super excited for TF. I will be starting February 1 (or as soon as I get it) and I'll be finishing ChaLean Extreme on the 15th of this month. I have another 30 lbs to lose by summer and it sounds like I just may get there! =]

Hello :-)
My name's Laura, I'm 5'7" and at 159lb. I'll be starting Turbo Fire for the very first time some time next week (after I complete the 30DS). I think I might start with the "prep schedual" just to get my joints accustomed to the moves. I am very excited!
Has anyone used Shakeology with this? Currently I'm using "Body Bsc" for women, I like it :-)0 -
Hi all,
As mentioned on the other thread, I finished CE at the end of November 2011 and planned to start TF 1/1, but I had an unrelated hip injury that curtailed my workouts for most of December. Now I am doing 10-Minute Trainer to try and build my stamina back up before I start TF (well, actually the TF/CE hybrid). Hope to start the beginning of Feb.
I will turn 60 in April 2012 (canNOT believe that) :ohwell: and am trying to get healthy again. Was always an active, skinny kid and young adult. But the pounds packed on over the years and now I need to lose 40-50. (canNOT believe that either.) :sad:
Not sure how often I will be able to pop on this thread as I am also part of a Beachbody thread on Facebook, but I would love to be part of this group - can't have too much accountability, right??
And it seems I need all I can get!
Thanks!0 -
Hi,
I started the Turbo Fire / CLX hybrid this week! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chalene! She's so motivational and hilarious! I was using Turbo Jam the month of December and was Turbo Jammin HARD !! I can't seem to get enough of her up beat tempo workouts.
I LOVE Turbo Fire, but am finding the weight training a little boring I must admit! But will definitely continue on!
I completed Day 4 of Week 1 - Fire 30 & Burn Circuit 2!!
I am 35 and am married to my soulmate! I have 2 beautiful daughters and am an RN working in the Emergency Room!
Very Very excited about this road ahead!!

Hi all! I am Lindsay, 31 and I have completed Chalean Extreme a month and half ago and am on week 2 day 5 of TF. I was really skeptical about doing all this cardio, bc I am not a big cardio person but I find myself actually enjoying it! I felt like the days the workouts are a half hour or less that I too had a lot of extra energy, so I added back in three CE workout with my turbo fire this week. I wanted to do this in the beginning but was worried I would be overwhelmed, but so far so good, so I am going to keep trucking away!
I am trying to stick around a 1200 calorie diet and eating as clean as I can. Good luck everyone, looking forward to experiencing this with you all!0 -
Wow! Lot's of ChaLean peeps in here! Might have to try that next!
Pressed for time today, but hoping to workout later. I know you have to schedule it, but it is just not in the cards today.
A little about me... In 2007 I had lost 40 lbs. In 2008 I started working from home and gained it all back and not in the best places. Hubby and I have been TTC baby #2 for two years and weight can be a factor. So...after doing NOTHING last year and watching my hubby lost 50 lbs, it is now my turn. I am struggling with recreating my schedule, but it's getting better.
Now that my son is older we are riding bikes and hiking more... this will help too.
My Beach Body challenge starts 1/9 and I leave on a trip 1/11, so I will be working hard to catch up when I get back, although I am packing my gear for my trip. I have my 20 yr reunion in July and other trip, so IT'S ON! :laugh:
OK, back to work...crazy day!0 -
Hi everyone!
I am 25 and I've been married 8 months. I got into great shape for my wedding but once we got back from Mexico, I stopped worrying about working out. I have recently become quite interested in losing the weight, and got really back into it around November. I have been using all types of videos (Jillian, TF, P90X) up until now to lose my 7 lbs, but I am going to be starting Turbo Fire as a program TOMORROW! I am so excited because I love her workouts and I get such a great burn. Plus it's fun!
I would like to lose about 12 more lbs so hopefully TF will help me get started on reaching my goal.
I did mix around the schedule slightly- I am also working on running a 10k at the moment, so I switched around one of the workouts so it didn't interfere with my long run day or my rest day. I just swapped the days so I won't be missing any workouts. I decided not to do the first week thing that puts you on track because I'm already pretty much started.
Anyway I am excited to chat with others during their Turbo Fire adventure!0 -
Hi! *waves* :-) I'm 28 and from Maryland. I'm married and thankfully my husband is on this journey with me. I started working out last January and since then I have managed to lose 40 lbs with dietary changes and getting regular exercise. When I began, I used the EA SPORTS Active 2 game for Wii as well as Wii Fit Plus. I eventually became bored and plateaued, so I knew I needed something more difficult, something to challenge me...
Which was where TurboFire came in! :-) I absolutely adore Chalene and I couldn't thank my Beachbody coach more for introducing me to Chalene's programs. I did one round of TurboFire over the summer but slowly got off track because of school and then the holidays came around which is never any help when you're trying to lose weight!
Now I'm back on track with both eating habits and exercise. I'm logging everything religiously! :-) I am currently doing the TurboFire / ChaLEAN Extreme hybrid and I'm really enjoying it. I love the fact that it's so new and that I have no clue what is coming next, so I'm super motivated and excited to push "Play" every day. I have another 20-30 lbs to lose and the fact that I was so successful last year, I have no doubt in my mind I'll be able to accomplish that "goal."
Looking forward to chatting with you all! Good luck and keep lookin' fine with Turbo on your mind! :-D0 -
Hey All,
Today was my first Fire 55 EZ class and I LOVED it!!! It didn't even feel like 55 minutes! It was so much fun and I got such a workout! Feeling a little sore and looking forward to the days ahead!! Hope you are all having a great week and you all are pushing play 0 -
Hi, I think I'm on day 4 of my re-start! I'm 40 and have a ways to go. I'm so glad to find some TFers on here!
Well, today was my first day with weighted gloves...may have been a mistake, can't lift my arms over the keyboard!
I'm not the biggest fan of Fire 30. Do you think it would be a problem to replace it with something else when it comes up on the schedule (45 or 55?). I just don't "feel" that one.0 -

My name is Tausha. I just turned 30 in October and I am a wife and mommy of 1 little boy.
Hey!
I never really did TF seriously. Well I decided to do it for real this time. I am following the calendar for it, though I might end up doing the calendar for the hybrid of TF and Chalean Extreme instead. I love that one too.
I did Fire 30 and Stretch 10 today... so I would love to join you!!0 -

sounds good to me! I don't have the CE program...just Turbo but I would love a buddy!0 -
Whew! Did Fire 30 and Core 20 today! Shaking! Love it! I skipped yesterday and ate terrible..BOO! Very stressful day, but not an excuse. I may even hit the elliptical again tonight. I feel like I need to recoup yesterday!
Well off to my son's basketball game and some appts. Have a great Saturday everyone!

I'm sure that would be fine! I completed the Fire 55 EZ class yesterday and it went by so fast.... i didn't even realize it! I get to try the 45 EZ class in the next few days! I am loving Turbo Fire! This is my first time using it... but I reallly enjoyed Turbo Jam so I figured I would love Turbo Fire 0 -

What schedule are you doing or are you just doing whatever floats your boat that day? I haven't tried core 20 yet.. i do that one tomorrow. I'm excited to try them all... but I chose to do a hybrid of TF\CLX (one that adds the weight training in 3 times a week) so I'll have to wait until I complete this schedule first and do the 20 week Turbo Fire schedule alone 0 -

I started out following the schedule, but recently have been doing what I feel like...once I get back from my trip, I will be into my Beach Body challenge and will do my best to follow the schedule.
Someone also asked about Shakeology - I use it for one meal a day and I really like it.0 -
I did day one of Turbo Fire today (Fire 30). All day I have felt HORRIBLE (I must be getting sick) and I almost didn't work out, but I don't like the idea of already missing a workout on day one. I pressed play and did it anyway, and at the moment feel quite sick, but I'm glad I did it. This way I can move on to day two tomorrow!0
-
I did Fire 55ez today. It was long and I'm exhausted, but I like the combinations in that one quite a bit. I'm supposed to do fire 30 tomorrow, but I might do 55 or 45 ez instead. In order to stick to it, I need to like it and I don't know what's with me and 30, I think I'm going to give myself a week's break from it!
Thanks for motivating me to keep pushing play everyone!0 -

Great job Pickles! It is soooo touch when we're not feeling well. Maybe sweating it out helped a bit? And remember, it is ok to slow down. You have to listen to your body! I hope you're feeling better very soon!0 -

I really struggle with anything over 30 min...I mean really struggle. Even though it says EZ...I tap out early. I really like the FT 30 and Core 20 right now. I know, same duration of time, but it is more broken up for me. And, I suppose you could do one in the AM and one in the PM or what have you. Not sure what I will do today. I am really pressed for time. I might to sculpt and some elliptical. I have get myself packed, I leave on Wednesday! Yikes!
In prep for my cruise I went to the spa yesterday...I haven't lost more than 2 lbs, but I guess my shape must be changing as the gal I go to mentioned that she thought I looked thinner/more in shape. That made me feel good, especially being 1/2 naked on her table! LOL!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Keep pushing play, drink your water and start seeing those results!0 -
Wow, just did TF Tone 30 - arms are shaking! I love it! I will hit the elliptical later; I've been running around the house all day and now walking over to my moms and back. :glasses:0
-
I remember tone 30...ouch!
I did Fire 45ez today instead of Fire 30. I'm just not feeling Fire 30, so I'm going to skip it for a week or so.
One good thing, I did work out as soon as I woke up, so that's good, yay me!
Thanks for helping me keep pushing play!0 -
Hello everyone! I am 41 (will be 42 next month) and I have been involved with in a Fit Club since last April. I have lost all the weight I needed to lose, and actually began to see abs! Then the holidays came and I totally fell off the wagon!
I started Turbo Fire at the end of October, working with the schedule that came with the program. I have skipped many days, but when I do I just pick up where I left off. I got back on the wagon last week and I'm currently working on Week 6. I also have Shakeology as my breakfast every morning. I have some really great friends who support me, but you can never have too many, right??
So glad to be a part of this TF group and I look forward to working through this program with all of you!!!!!!! 0 -
Well the weekend came and went. Saturday was my rest day, but I managed to get out on the golf range for an hour. On Sunday I did CE Burn Circuit 2 and TF 30. After the lunges and deadlift my hamstrings were quite fatigued and I got a great workout during TF. This morning I started off the week with TF 55. It's my favorite TF workout.
I hope you all have a great day and look forward to keeping up with you.0 -
Welcome everyone!
Glad to see people were active this weekend. I am proud to say I did workout both Sat & Sun and I will today and tomorrow. Wed will be my rest day as I will be traveling. I need to see if I can access the message boards from my iphone so I can post. If not, I will be gone over a week from here. (I am not taking my iPad.) I will be out of range, anyway, Sat-Thurs.
I am sore from Tone 30, but it's a good sore. I can feel it in my arms and bum.
School started back today and my to do list feels endless....my anxiety is high too as I try to fit it all in before I leave, SOOOOOO I am off to workout to relieve some of it. TF 30 and Stretch 10 today!
OH!!! And, the scale hasn't really changed, but I did slip on a pair of pants today and they fit much nicer. Progress!

Great job everyone! I did my workouts over the weekend, and Core 20 is NOT one of my favorites, by any means! I was supposed to do the Strech 40 but I got ten minutes into it and was so bored I quit it. Does anyone else hate the stretching? I told myself I would do them and I have been doing the Stretch 10's but I just cannot handle 40 minutes of stretching. This week I will add in three CE workouts again, I have to get up in the morning and get my workout done early if I am going to do this, that will be my big challenge of the week. I am doing my day off on Thursday this week as I have to do some traveling. Scale says I have lost 2 lbs total, the first week i lost nothing, this week two, so I hope it keeps melting off. My pants are more comfortable than two weeks ago and I feel like my stomach hang over has gone down! Keep working hard everyone!0
