Chalean Extreme or Turbofire?

Hi, all! I'm wrapping up my Power 90 round in about 10 days and I'm trying to decide what to do next. I already own both Chalean Extreme and Turbofire (and all of the Turbo Jam DVDs), but have never followed either program to a "t". I have completed workouts from both, but just to mix up the other workouts I used to do. Like Power 90, I'd like to actually follow the complete round of what I'm doing. I think I'm partial to Chalean Extreme because it's more like Power 90, but adds back in the kickboxing I so love. Though I've lost 30 lbs so far with Power 90 (hoping for 35+ when I'm done), I still have A LOT to lose (another 80-90 lbs).

What are your thoughts? I have the basic TurboFire program (just the 12 weeks), though I can always buy the advanced DVDs when I need to. My thinking is that it will be easier to transition to Chalean Extreme and then do the full Turbofire program. I do not want to do a hybrid at this time; I'd really like to follow a program as designed first to see what kind of results I get. Either way, I'm doing both this year and before my 20-year high school reunion in September.

Any opinions?

    In my opinion if you want to see great results start with the Chalean Extreme. I have already completed it once and I am starting it again. I plan on doing the Lean for Life part now. You have to follow it to a t though to get the results you desire. It's a killer program that will give you great results when dedicated.

    I am doing Extemem and then adding TurboFire workouts rather than the Extrmeme cardio just because I LOVE the TurboFire HIIT workouts (I do a HIIT before my Extreme workouts) and the FIRE 45 & FIRE 55 for days when I don't do the weights.

    But I think you need to do what makes you the happiest as I have tons of other workouts that I used to do because they "worked" but I do these 2 because I love them AND they get super results :)
