Hello! I didn't see a new thread started for this week, so figured I'd get things going. 
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I did Turbo Fire 30 this morning. I'll be changing my 'rest' days to Friday, so I got my sweat on this morning.
Hope everyone is still moving and shaking!

HIIT 25/Sculpt 30 for me. I took 3 rest days due to a weekend getaway, so todays workout kicked my booty!0
-
13 weeks of turbo fire, doing Fire 60 for 3rd time and suddenly forgot how to do "high/low" I kept going "low/high", luckily it was the last routine, but boy was that frustrating.0
-
did HIIT 15 for the first time today...loved it and hated it at the same time...definitely have some work to do on my cardio...felt like I had run outside in the cold after that my lungs hurt and I was coughing. One day at a time!!0

I almost started one today, but I wasn't sure if it was like an unwritten rule that Starlage did it I restarted today, so Fire 30 and Stretch 10 for me...hard as hell after a week off from TF. Got it done though, and 360 calories burned during Fire 30. Diet was pretty good today, but I need to have a snack, I'm at 1430ish net right now, a little below my BMR, so...I need a decent snack, or a satisfying one. Maybe a skinny cow bar
@Poetic, I like my rest days on Saturdays, I'll be adjusting the schedule and working thru Weds, just making sure not to HIIT two days in a row.0 -

Just wondering, do u always eat near your BMR?? And why? I was very scared to jump from 1500 cals to 2480 (what TF calls for) Should I net my BMR, it's like 18--? I just want max results 0 -
hey! Glad someone else started the thread! I forgot all about it this morning and then I had a crazy busy clinic day.
Fire 55ez DONE!!!! That's week 7 day 1! Amazing. I can't believe I'm a month and half into this! I'm so proud of myself for sticking with this program for so long! I've given up on so many before, moving onto something else because I got bored. WOOHOO!0 -

Nope, doesn't bother me. I'm glad when other people take the initiative! I seriously just forgot all about it this morning, then got busy! 0 -
371 with Fire45EZ. That one is just go go go...love it!0

No, I don't. I aim for my TDEE - 20%, I follow the road map. My TDEE - 20% is 1701 calories, so I aim for all of that. Thats not eating back any exercise calories...I only do that if I'm particularly hungry. I consider today to be a day I ate too little actually, 1495 net is not what I like to see myself at...0 -

Also, to add to this. Your BMR is the absolute minimum you should net. Its the calories your body needs to function and going below it is not generally reccomended on a regular basis. I.F. plays with that principal, but I don't caare for it. So, if you have your BMR as 1800, then you should try to net at least that daily.0 -
I am new to posting to the boards but I want to get more involved to keep myself motivated so here it goes...
Today is my rest day. Did Fire 40 yesterday and was a hot mess when I was done. It felt great! I am half way done with my 3rd week. So proud to have lasted this long. This group is very motivating and I look forward to posting more and meeting new people!0 -

What was your deciding factor to finish the program out to 20 weeks instead of stopping at 12?0 -
Fire 40 for me today! It's getting easier to follow along so I can push myself harder..500 cal burn today!0

I had the discs, so I figure what the hell, might as well do them. Though like with the first 12 weeks, I'm not following it exactly, I do my own strength training workout.0 -
Wow HIIT 15 is an *kitten* kicker. I could barely keep up, but it was my first time so I'm ok with that.0

I did that one for the first time last week...yes, you described it perfectly..Did HIIT25 today and that was just as nasty....in a good way.0 -
Hello ladies!
@mrsTravo- I'm on the 20 week schedule too. Makes sense to go ahead and do it when you already have the advanced dvds
Fire 30/Sculpt 30 DONE! Always a good sweat session! 7 weeks into this you'd think the workouts would get easier to do- NOPE! LOL. Still just as hard. It's nice to feel stronger, kick higher and harder, not get QUITE as out of breath.
GETTING HEALTHY!!!0 -
Hi Ladies, So proud of all of you working so hard and pushing play. I pushed play as well today. I was to do fire 55ez but just didn't feel it after I started it so I stopped it and did HIIT 30. Kicked my butt, but I love the HIITs. I Love doing TF. It is so much fun just listening to Charlean makes me smile. For real who says you should be sucking air???? Or waterproof mascra????? or the one that usual makes me laugh "Its like I took a shower......in sweat" LOL makes my day everytime. Maybe cause I am like ME TOO!!!! Keep pushing play ladies

Today will make my Week 1 of TF. I have lost 2 lbs in Week 1!!!! Yay:bigsmile: I have been stuck before the two lbs and thought I wouldn't break through. But I did thanks to TF kicking my butt!!0

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I start Week 4 of TurboFire tomorrow! I did Firestarter this AM. I've lost 5 lbs so far and am a TF addict!0

Awesome!! Congrats on the loss:flowerforyou:
It is the best workout, right!0 -
Last night I was definitely sucking air. Definitely needed the rest period btw HIITs to get my breath back and drink some water. Its my hubbys birthday today, so I'm not sure if I will be taking the rest day or not, it depends on what he wants to do tonight. I was planning on working thru Wednesdays, and taking Satrudays as my rest, but if I don't get to it tonight, no big deal.0

I have Core 20 and Stretch 40 on the calendar today. With a 2 mile fun run coming up this weekend I've been skipping the Stretch 40 and doing Core plus a 2.5 mile run.
Only burned 480 with 45 EZ yesterday vs the 500+ I normally do, that was sad. I was killing it!0 -
Woohoo! Week 2, Day 5 completed this morning! My shins are feeling quite a bit sore from a run I did yesterday, so I need to find some stretching to help that - I am certain it is from having tight calf muscles! Oh well, feeling pretty good otherwise! Planning to take some measurements after this week is over to see how the first 2 weeks went 0

I started the inferno plan this week, I am not following the meal plan but I've been eating clean and about 1200 calories a day. High water volume foods and frequent eating. I weighed in at 208.5 on Monday morning and today I am at 206(The scale flashed 205.5 at me for a little bit hahaha). Very excited and pumped up for the rest of the week
Fire 55EZ for today !!0 -

I feel the same! Which week are you on? - I am really excited!!! & like you said feel stronger everytime & am really just now feeling like I'm on-top-of the workouts instead of barely keeping up!!!0 -
Hello ladies, quick check in with you. I finally started Week 13 today. I was suffering from a nasty stomach bug the last few days but it's gone now. Fire 60 and Abs 10 done. Fire 60 is not what I thought it'd be, maybe I'm just not used to it. Abs 10...that's another story. Glad that one's over. Looking forward to tomorrow...45 EZ...yay!
Don't compare yourself to anybody else....Be your best!
Happy hump day!0
