Well, I am two-thirds of the way through ChaLEAN Extreme (CLX). I could not be happier with my progress. First off, I am soooo thankful to Karen, my wonderful MFP pal and Beachbody Coach, for introducing me to CLX and getting me to join her on this journey! We have made a lot of good MFP girl friends that are doing CLX as well and I love having all the support. Thank you!

Here are the results for the first two months!

Day 1 Day 60
Weight 209.3 lbs 185.5 lbs LOSS OF 23.5 LBS
Body Fat % 43% 38.5% LOSS OF 4.5%
Waist 44.5 inches 37.5 inches LOSS OF 7 INCHES!!!
Hips 49 inches 45.5 inches LOSS OF 3.5 INCHES
Chest 45 inches 41 inches LOSS OF 4 INCHES
Arm 15 inches 12.5 inches LOSS OF 2.5 INCHES
Thigh 25.5 inches 24 inches LOSS OF 1.5 INCHES

I am VERY pleased with these result. I am now down a total of 47.2 pounds and have lowered my body fat from 48% to 38.5%.
I have put in 100% effort and my rewards/results have reflected that. It has taken a lot of dedication and self disclipine but it was worth it! And it will continue to be worth it!

And because pictures say sooo much more than words...

Day 1 to Day 60

    YAY!!! I am a Turbo Jam addict (of all sorts lol) and started back up on the original Turbo now, next CLX and then Turbo Fire.. then the hybrid... that should keep me busy for a bit!

    I love seeing results with the programs I have planned to use :D

    Yay! Congratulations! Did you only do ChaLEAN Extreme to lose the weight or did you do a modified diet as well? I am wondering because I LOVE food and don't want to diet but I enjoy exercising so I would like to try and lose weight just by excercising. I just recently started doing TurboJam. Thanks for sharing!

    Honestly, and I know this isn't the answer you want, to get this good of results, it is a LOT of nutrition changes!

    You can't lose only by exercising. What you consume and how much plays a significant role.

    I wish there was a one program answer! LOL! i used the remove backgroud feature in Microsoft Word after inserting the photos and then coverted it to PDF/JPEG. That probably doesn't make the most sense but I don't know an easy way of doing it!

    I, too, am doing CLX and love it. I didn't take measurements cuz I just couldn't handle knowing what they were at the time but I wish I had now. I'm seeing definition and gains in strength. Awesome program especially for those just starting any weight training. You look wonderful!!

    I did Slim in 6 before CLX and I totally kicked myself for not doing pictures and measurements. When I started CLX I promised myself not to do that again! Take pics now!
