Hi all! i'm new here, i actually have had an account for awhile but i never used it! I am trying to lose 40 lbs/ 20kk, prolly by August or end of 2013, my progress is relatively slow since my diet can be quite bad and i have a problem eliminating carbs and eating clean. :/ it'd be great if i could find someone who i can motivate and feel motivated around, so if you need a workout/motivation buddy, i'm all ears! ;)

anyways, i am actually currently doing my insanity workout and it's ending 2nd week of Jan next year! the problem is, when it ends, i don't know what to do! i've never been committed to anything and since this is my very first commitment, i'm quite upset i have to say goodbye to insanity. However, i've been looking at Turbo fire and body revolution by Jillian Michaels and i'm not sure which i should go for.. Any suggestions? have you guys tried this workout? i'd really love to hear what you guys have to say about this workout! <3

    I have never done insanity but I have TurboFire. I am getting ready to start it back up again after the new year i think, never completed it yet. I do absolutely love it though!! Stopped for personal reasons but am very excited to start it again. I think you would enjoy it!!

    I did Insanity for the 60 days. . . I won't tell you my results. I will tell you to do your best to diet while doing Insanity or you won't be happy at the end of the 60 day challenge.

    I've never heard of Body Revolution, but I am starting week 7 of TF and I LOVE IT. I wish all my friends did it with me. It's very dancey, and Chalene is a great motivator. At the end of 4 weeks I lost an inch on each of my thighs and 3 pounds. I also have been putting on muscle and have lost a lot of belly fat too. I recommend taking pics and measurements because if I only knew that I lost 3 pounds, I would be upset. But seeing photos and measurements makes me thankful for the changes.

    Turbo fire is mainly cardio. BR is mixture of weights and cardio. There is also Chalean Extreme whichbiscmainly weights. Some people to a plan called the Chalean Extreme/. Turbofire hybrid.

    I do a Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire hybrid and love it. I mainly do the Turbo Fire Starter Low Impact HIITs because I was concerned about my knees but there is always a low impact modifier even in the high impact workouts.

    I own both. They are very different workouts. Turbo Fire is much more cardio based. You could definitely hybrid them.
    :). I mix up Insanity, TF and JMBR right now.
