    Done with Turbo Fire. 20 weeks, 24lbs lost. Will still be incorporating TF in my new workout routine but focusing more on strength training . Just remember....YOU'RE NOT TIRED.

    This is week seven for me but I did five weeks of the Prep Schedule first so this would make the second week of the regular schedule for me if that makes any sense.

    Way to go!! Congratulations on making it through the 20 weeks and 24lbs is an amzing loss! What will your new routine consist of? I'm still trying to find a good balance post-turbofire lol.

    Thanks butterfycz, though I'm not quite ready for the bikini shots...yet. Right now my new routine consists of Hiit/Strength Training 3 days a week and Cardio (either TF or Jillian Michaels) 3 days a week and a day of rest, which for me will probably be yoga. I picked up New Rules of Lifting for Women, hoping to step up my workout.

    Week 2, Day 1. Has anyone else had a weight gain in the beginning? I noticed I'm up almost 3lbs. Don't know if it's just me or if it's normal.

    I think I know why this is a lot of people's favorite - After Week 1 she (and YOU) has built your stamina up so much that you can do this workout no problem!

    I just did this one yesterday and when Charlene said "you aren't tired" she wasn't lying! I had the energy to do the workout and then some.

    Only annoying thing was the sweat I had to keep wiping away...eventually it just got funny. I never thought I'd be able to work out like that :P

    I got so sick of that one lol.

    I did Fire 45 today. I have to get in a Fire 30/Sculpt 30 day and Core one day. I took this week to make up the 3 workouts I've missed so far, then will start the last HIIT phase on Saturday!

    During week 2 I had a three pound gain, I repeated week 2 and lost the three pounds plus another 1/2 pound. I also raised my calories a bit during my repeat of week 2, I found that after my excercise calories were added in I was barely eating 1100 calories. I'm getting better, but still don't think I 'm eating enough.

    Does everyone use a heart rate monitor to calculate their calorie burn? I use a cheaper one that I bought from Amazon and I feel like it calculates my burn so low, especially for the HIIT workouts I'm only burning 170 calories at best and I'm working my butt off at 191 lbs!! I've even tried leaving the monitor on for an hour or so after the workout since I know that the "afterburn" can go on for hours, but it usually only goes up about 20 calories...Maybe I'm not working as hard as I think I am?

    My 20 HIIT/10 Stretch workout yesterday with my Sportline 630 calculated 241 @ 166lbs. I believe you should be burning more. Maybe the HRM you purchased isn't as accurate as it should be. Does it have a chest strap and also ask age/height/weight?


    On a side note...my mom (who does not exercise) screwed up her rotator cuff this week and is "out of commission" for work until tomorrow at the least. I proceeded to show her Chalene's stretches and told her she should probably be doing those on a daily basis when her shoulder starts to feel better.

    It's my rest day today....anyone else feel crappy on rest days? I feel like I'm going to have to get out and do SOMETHING today. I can't not workout now......how the hell did this happen!?!?! :glasses:
