ems1583

I would just like to share my Tapout XT Progress, I'm currently on Day 63 and I still have 3 more weeks. I am doing ChaLean Extreme but just 3x/week (just the circuits). This is my second post, before I posted my Insanity Before/After and my story is in there also, here's the link if you want to check it out http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/640716-insanity-progress-before-after

2011 - A year of weight gain!

JANUARY 2012 - my turning point, weighed in at doctor's office - 158 lbs!

01//25/12 - Started Turbofire 2-3x/week (just random workout, not that serious yet, my mentality that time "I ain't gonna workout 6x/week for 3 months)

03/22/12 - Joined MFP with SW 153 lbs

4/16/12 - 6/17/12 - INSANITY (lost 8.4 lbs)

6/18/12 - 7/8/12 - INSANITY - ChaLean Extreme Hybrid (lost 4.6 lbs)

7/9/12 - Present - TAPOUT XT with ChaLean Extreme (3x/week)

*It has been my goal to burn 1,000+ cal every Saturday, during my rest day from work - mixture of Insanity, TurboFire, Treadmill, CLX, Tapout


Here you go...


At my heaviest - Last week of Dec 2011 before my wake up call



2011 Weight Gain




Here are the side-by-side comparison after Insanity and 62 days of Tapout XT with Chalean Extreme...I was planning to make it like a timeline but side by side are more fun

BEFORE & AFTER







For 5 1/2 months I've lost a total of 28 lbs and that's just through healthy eating (at 1500 with cheat days, cravings, few chocolates, etc. I tried the 1200 at first but its hard. After mos at 1500, I'm lowering it now to 1330 coz I'm starting to plateau) and just religiously followed these dvd workouts which I really find convenient for me and effective. I chose the "insane, extreme" ones coz I want fast results and I think I'm satisfied with my results. I'm currenty 124.6 lbs, my UG is 120 lbs but I might change, it depends on how I will look at 120 lbs. I am not longing to be skinny-skinny but just the right tone and still with curves.

I love Tapout XT, its hard on the core and more on strength and power. I didn't expect that my tummy would be like this. Still got stubborn fats on the thighs and calves so still working on it.


MEASUREMENTS (4/16/12 --> 9/9/12) (147 lbs --> 124.6 lbs)

Neck - 13.5 --> 13 in
Waist - 34 --> 28.5 in
Upper Waist - 30 --> 26 in
Hips - 39 --> 34.5 in
Right Arm - 12 --> 10.5 in
Left Arm - 13 --> 11 in
Right Thigh - 22.7 --> 20.5 in
Left Thigh - 22 --> 20.5 in
Right Calf - 15.2 --> 13.5 in
Left Calf - 15 --> 13.5 in

It might be hard at times, getting your workout in and eating healthy but if you really put your mind in it you will achieve all your goals. You will not get instant results but its true that consistency is the key. If you missed some days or went on vacation or over your calories, just increase your workout or burn some more, make up for it. I had rough times as well, went on vacation, went over my calories, we're just humans. What's important is that you have that goal and no matter what you're gonna get it and there's definitely no quitting.

what an amazing transformation! I think we have similar body types (? are you a pear shape?) so this is super inspiring. I am around your weight but recently put on a few vacation pounds :sad: looks like Tapout XT definitely yields results!

Thanks! Yup, I think I am pear shaped, still a little bit heavy on the hips and thighs. But when I gained those weight, my body evened out with fats lol Just work on it again and you'll be fine. Yup, I love Tapout, but thats with ChaLean Extreme (3x) as well. I think weights helped me trimmed down my arms and Tapout helped with the tummy.

Thanks everyone! Its such a great feeling to inspire and motivate others in our goal We all need to go through hardships, we have to make time, fight the lazy feeling, suffer the pain/soreness, etc. I had knee pain during Insanity, rugburn on my Day 1 of Tapout, that feeling that my wrists are gonna break during weightlifting with Chalean Extreme, feeling sore everyday whenever I wake up in the morning, working out at midnight, etc. Always remember that all of those, they're all worth it in the end :happy: You'll be surprised one day that you'll be looking in the mirror with a person you never thought you will be. So gotta keep pushing! Never give up! If you stumble, just get up and move forward :drinker:

I didn't notice that some of the pictures are very small lol
