    WEEK 3 CHECK IN = 183 lbs. Net change from start = 3 lb lose. What did I learn this week....it makes a difference to do some 40 minute workouts during the week instead of the 20 minute workouts I originally planned to do. Basically increase calorie burn so I'm trying to do April's suggestion of 3500 calorie burn per week (500 per day).
    Another thing I did several weeks ago when I was not getting results is reduce my calorie goal by 200 calories.

    I'm on my 1st week of TJ. I'm doing 3 x per week TJ Cardio & 2x per week TJ 20 min & TJ Abs. At the end of week 1, I lost 1.5 lbs. I'm pretty satisfied with that, hope it will keep going.

    Awesome job! Unfortunately, I stayed the same this week...forgot to check in sorry! It's all good. I am going to shoot for 3500. Not sure I will make it this week. I am really not feeling too swift...at all this week. Ugh.

    April, Thanks for the update. I was wondering when you didn't check-in Wednesday. Not feeling it is going to happen to all of us. Don't give up though. Just doing any type of activity is better than nothing at all. Only 3 more weeks left in this 6 week TJ challenge. And no weight change is not necessarily a bad things either....your muscles and body would have improved. So don't give up! Jab, jab, hook, kick, keep it going! :smile:

    Good work cpmetz. 1.5 lbs is very good for one week. Will be looking for your progress after your week 2.

    Yep, thank you! Chalene is engrained in my brain. Just bought Turbo Fire but, am not ready for it yet and will probably keep doing TJ until I feel ready for the Fire. It may be awhile but, it's incentive to continue and build endurance and strength and to look forward to something . Onward! :)

    Frustrating to see a gain but, I wasn't on point this week either. How'd you do?

    WEEK 4 Check-in = 185 lbs. Net change from last weight = +2 lbs. Net change from start of TJ challenge = - 1 lb.

    Lesson this week.... monitoring weight is a roller coster...up down... but I do believe that I am on the right downward track. I'm trying and know my endurance is better than it was 4 weeks ago. So will keep marching on.
    Starting to think about what to do after Week 6 when this TJ challenge is over. Probably will join another group to stay motivate to lose weight and get more fit.

    I may possibly try Turbo Fire. Just got it today. Don't know if I will be ready for that... I have also been doing 3500 calories a week burn (but you can do less or more than this...I can't do 3500 yet). There are people that do 7500 and up...which I just have know idea how one gets the time. I am shooting for 2500 this week. The other challenge I am in is lose 40-50 lbs in 2013. There Every week we weigh in on Wed. There are so many different challenges out there. It's great...gives a good variety. Keep up the great work! The scale isn't everything.

    Week 2 I lost .8 lbs. I didn't do any TJ this week because I've been sick in bed w/ flu. I hope to start TJ back up again tomorrow (-: I'm looking forward to it because I've missed the exercise!!

    So this week I am down 1 lb. I am happy, it's something instead of what scale was doing. Yay! Hope everyone is good.

    Week 3 / Lost 1.8 lbs. Total lost since starting TJ = 4.1 lbs. Also following the Shred diet which is basically 4 small meals plus 2-3 snacks per day. I feel like I'm eating constantly, but when I actually log the food it's about a 1200 calorie diet.

    I'm finding TJ to be a bit easy for me now. I'm looking into TJ Fire. Have any of you tired that one?
