Good Morning, Ladies. Today starts week 16! Can't believe I've made it this far. Even though the scale nor my measuring tape seem to be moving, I am noticing a definite change in my body. Small NSV: my size large Turbo Fire tank top is too big. 189lbs and a large tank top is too big? Go figure. Have a great week and remember....YOU'RE NOT TIRED!!

20 Weeks/140 days of Turbofire officially complete! I feel like a bad *kitten* and so proud of myself for sticking with it. TF is my soulmate workout! I did do measurements, but haven't taken photos yet as I am feeling like a bloated cow today after overindulging on Easter dinner and desserts.
This shows my measurements and weight from start through finish with each 4 week progress notes. 24.4lbs and 22.75inches total, the biggest loss was from my waist. My mommy pooch is completely gone! I've never been this small in my adult life.

I've made it into Week 4, and today I have HIIT 20 and Sculpt 30 after work! No weight change this week, so I am still only showing a 2lb loss, but I did drop one pant size - from an 8 to a 6! Hooray!0

Congrats to all you ladies who are having great results!!! It is so awesome to hear results. I however don't have any great results to post, but I have been pushing play.
I did CLX lean 2 and HIIT 15 today. The HIITs after weights is killer but in a good way. I have been reading how this really improves fat loss. So I maybe trying to do this on my weight days. I was wondering for those of you who have the weighted gloves, Do you use them with the HIITs? I noticed that Monica does in HIIT15. I never thought about it before. Just wondered. Keep pushing play!!!!!!!! 0 -
Started Week 4 today! Low HIIT 25 done!
Was supposed to do a quick weight workout first but I'm sick so I'm glad I at least did my TF today! No excuses! Now off to start my antibiotics and relax for the rest of evening!0 -
Awesome results! Congrats on finishing 20 weeks....very inspirational0

OMG! WOW! Thats so amazing!! WELL DONE! You gotta be so proud!(: Keep going. What are you planning on doing next?0 -
congrats butterfly! That's amazing!!! You're an inspiration
Week 9 will start for me tomorrow, today's a rest day (unscheduled) after a week's staycation and doing a whole lot of sitting on my butt going back to work today was hard! I'm physcially pooped. Just going to take it easy tonight so that I don't overdue it and pass out on the couch at 8pm! I'll push myself to workout after work tomrrow!0 -
Butterfly - Excellent job! Those are phenomenal results. I did Fire 55EZ today. My bodymedia came in today so, I am going to try and figure this thing out. Not sure I am wearing it to bed tonight, though. I want to read what it is I am supposed to do to set it up. I am sure it's pretty easy. I bought CLX last night and once it comes in I am going to transition into the hybrid schedule. I feel the need to get some strength training in and I thought this would be the best way where I just love Chalean. Can't wait to get going on that.
Have a great night everyone.0 -
@april- once you get over the first week, you'll love i!! It took a good week for it to adjust to my movements/activities (meaning the first week it'll show burns much higher than usual). After that, personally, I'd take a 10% margin of error off my daily burns, average them out and eat a percentage deficit off of my average. But there are plenty of others that eat at the "500 deficit a day/ 3500 deficit a week" rule and it works fine for them- my body just never responded to that. Feel free to ask mequestions, I wore it for most of the last year and will probably go back to it once my activities change. I wore it long enough doing TF though that I've got plenty of data to go off of to know how much to eat for now.
Well today will start week 9 after work! HIIT 15/ sculpt 30. I'll caffeine up this afternoon so that I've got extra energy It's going to be weird but nice going from all cardio/ fire workouts the last month with tone and sculpt only twice a week to now HIIT 3 days a week, cardio 3 days a week and Tone/sculpt 3 days a week. WHEW! 0 -
For me it's day 11 today. Hiit15 and Sculpt30 . I'm little mad at myself, because of those 10 days, i did 3times p90x instead of TF, sat-sun (easter) i didn't workout at all ( i had a stomach flue) . so i did the plan in about 50%. This week i have to do better.
Butterflycz your results are amazing, 3" in thighs that's exactly what i want. Great, keep going girl 0 -

Hi everyone! So I am curious what you all are doing with regard to your eating? are you solely counting calories? and if so are you eating your exercise calories back? Im having a heck of a time getting below 151! Its driving me nuts...I have been at that weight or a few pounds heavier since January! I have tried switching up my calories to see if that will help but it doesnt seem to be working...I am doing CEX in addition to TF, so initially I thought it was the weight training that was keeping the weight up, but I have started to incorporate more TF the last couple weeks to see if that would help and I still seem to be stuck... I know food is 80% of the key to weight loss, but geeze Im having a really hard time... I'd just like to see what everyone else is doing and how it is going for all of you!
Thanks in advance for your help 0 -

I'm gonna start doing this! It works cause I did it some last year.0 -
Week 4 - Fire 30
So excited to do this new class today...it was fun!0 -
Week 9 Day 1 done! It was supposed to be HIIT 15 but i really didn't like that one. It's too itty bitty. I did HIIT 20 and Sculpt 30 -with 8 lb weights the whole thing, yay me! Every other time I've done it I had to switch to 5lb weights for some of them because my arms felt like they'd fall off. Glad I'm getting stronger!\
@rach- do it! Post 'em! It's always a great ego booster with all of the positive comments
@ moll- I agree with needing more info. Personally I'm 5'2"ish, 144 lbs (ish) , 29, and have a super active job. I wore a bodymedia fit for most of the last year so I know what my daily TDEE averages and for me, eating a static amount each day works best- so yeah, I do eat exercise calories back but over the course of the week so that I can eat a similar amount each day instead of having it vary day to day. I eat 1800-1900 a day and have a spike day a week up to 2400ish cals. You just have to trial and error to figure out what works for you.0 -
So Im 5'4, 151 pounds, 37 years old...just had a baby 6 months ago and have lost most of my baby weight, but want to get down to 135. I've been doing CEX 3 days a week and just started adding TF back into the mix...so on CEX weight days I do a TF HIIT and on non CEX days I have been doing TF 45 or 55...I have been eating between 1500-1700 calories and have been stuck at 151 for what seems like forever! I eat just those calories, no exercise calories back...I know the cardio will help me, I have always had great success when doing cardio, I just dont like doing it! but TF is by far the most tolerable cardio out there, so I dont have too much of a hard time doing it.0

hi i found this group on here i hope its ok that i joined
i just started turbo fire im on my 2nd week. i really do enjoy it. I did turbo jam before and loved it, 0 -
@MollDoll I do count everything i eat, and try to exercise more than i eat, but it's always a variation between 1200 and 2200kcal/day. Truth is that your body accomodates to exercise, and amount of calories so the less you have to loose, more fit you are, weightloss starting to go slower.
@Rach post it... it's not only motivating for you but also for others I have my measuring Friday, after 2 weeks, i hope something is changed 0 -
Turbo Fire Day 40 - HIIT 15 and Tone 30 DONE!
I've been off the boards for a couple of days, but I'm still HERE! Just been so busy getting everything ready for my vacation next week. I have my Turbo Fire DVD's all packed and ready to go, as I WILL workout while on vacation!
So - keep pushing!!

moll- I'd try raisin your calories by100 a day and see how you do. Remember your body usually takes a few weeks to adjust to any change though, so you may not know right away.0

Hey where is everybody?
Unscheduled extra rest day for me oh well. The day just got away from me. Work was super busy, didn't get home til after 6, was starving and ate dinner. Now I need to relax. I'm not a night exerciser. I go to bed at 10, so I don't like to workout after 630-7. Gets me to hyped up. 0 -
Star- I know what you mean..it was a long day for me as well. I am getting used to working out late at night but, I think once warmer weather comes, this may have to change. Thank you for all of your advice on bm. I went for the two years but, yes, I agree with you that once I get used to how bm calcs things, I may not need to wear it faithfully for ever. It certainly will help me figure out what it is I should be doing.
Fire30 & Sculpt 30 tonight.0 -
Hi everyone! thanks for the responses regarding my calories and food! I will take the suggestions into consideration it does scare me though to try and increase my calories...but I think that probably may be what I need to do.
So today I did CEX Lean 2 and TF Low HIIT 20...I dont think I had enough food in my system though, I was a bit light headed when I got to the HIIT video... but I pushed through it and it felt good I think tomorrow will be a DOR or I may do TF 45EZ...I love that one.
I did TF45 last night and I havent done that one in a long time and wow it kicked my butt!
Anyhoo, hope everyone is well and thanks again for all the suggestions!
Have a great night!0 -
Yesterday I did Low HIIT 20 after a 45 min weight session...it was awesome. Today is rest day for me!0
-
Turbo Fire Day 41 - Fire 45 DONE!
Someone asked me yesterday - "are you losing weight?". Nothing like having someone notice all my hard work to give me a motivation boost! Of course I answered - "why YES, I am losing weight!" Thank you Turbo Fire!

Been kinda MIA lately. This is supposed to be a recovery week, but 45ez 3 times!? uggg! So I'm changing things up a bit. Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day or in my case Core 20/Stretch 40, but I had such a long stressful day at work, I decided to do Fire 60 cuz I needed to get my sweat on. Hate that my HRM isn't working, I'm sure I burned some serious calories.
@Monie, don't you love when people start to notice? My favorite was when some said to me, "you're looking kinda skinny, you must be working really hard", of course I said, "YES I am working really hard, thank you.0 -
Dym- I hate the recovery week too!!! LOL. 45ez is tough, I don't get why it's in recovery week three times. Also I didn't read you initial post earlier this week until yesterday and I am happy in a weird way that someone else isn't losing mad weight from TF! LOL. Not to mean I'm glad you're not losing fast, just that I'm glad I'm not the only one. I love TF and I love how strong it has made me and that it's helped me lose fat and some weight, but way ack in my the depths of my brain that little evil voice goes "why aren't you losing more/ faster". So.... good to know.
April- I figure a good three months of devoted wearing the BMF and doing your normal activities gives you good amount of data to base your intake off of. After that you can be more lax about wearing it ALL the time. Especially since summer i coming! That's when I didn't want to wear it very often because of it always showing with short sleeves.
moll- gad you're ncreasing your calories! Your body will thank you. 0
