i am kinda bummed, i couldn't wait till i finished burn and to see the difference after 30 days, but no results? 
all my measurements are the same except i gained a few lbs on the scale i so was hoping to see a difference in measurement especially my lower belly, welll i hope the push phase is going to get things moving...

that definitely sucks! What are you eating? What's your daily calorie goal?0

i am eating as good as i can. Last weekend was off b/c we went out of town and had to eat out for all meal. , i gained and haven't lost it yet. I am up 2.5 lbs for the last 2 weeks... Otherwise i am trying to eat as good as i can and i am eating anywhere from 1400min-1600 cals max. my tdee is 1766. I started only 5 lbs away from my goal, so i know that makes it a lot harder to get results but i thought i would of seen some visible subtle changes at least. I take my pics on friday, so maybe looking at a pic side by side i might seen something, i hope...0

that sounds like a very low TDEE for the exercise you're doing. How did you calculate that? I recommend the Fitbit. I figure out my TDEE by my Fitbit every day. Love it and it makes me get my steps in every day.0

well i went onto scoobys workshop and used lightly active b/c the exercises are only around 30-35 min a day 6 days a week, except that one
" burn intervals"... so really i am not doing a lot of exercise a day. I am only doing her program and that's it. i am also only 5.2 ft. so the 140--1600 is inbetween lightly active and moderate exercise with a 10% deficit0 -

Slightly active is working out up to 3 times a day. Redo it with moderately active.... And then subtract 15-20%0 -
it still gave me around the same. 1465 to 1556.0

eat more cals. and make sure youre eating enough protein. muscles need protein to rebuild.0
-
But i shouldn't be going over my maintenance of 1766 as i gain. so i am trying to eat if i am hungry and if not then not...... not just b/c i feel i have cals to eat more cause i will do just that. i struggle with protein unless i eat a protein bar or something to get it up but then i am well over my carbs. I have a issue with carbs being over almost 6 days a week, so i was trying to focus on that and then my protein really drops. today i went way over in carbs and well under protein at only 68 grams. I just can't seem to get it right?0

Try not to stress - do lean meats (turkey steak turkey burger chicken) and veggies for lunch and dinner. Only whole grain/whole wheat breads. Greek yogurt... Almond milk... Fruits in the morning.... Umm whole wheat pastas. Almonds... Best way is to make sure u have protein every time u eat.0
-
thx. i don't do bread, if i do it's a wrap. i need to get in the habit of roasting a chicken on sunday and then dividing it up for lunches all week... if i do pasta it is always whole wheat but i will only eat pasta, potatoes, etc once a week. i find with my calorie allowance it limits me in getting in protein at each meal and keeping it affordable too.... what i have been doing lately was shakeology with almond milk and a banana in it for breakfast. snack later was fresh fruit of some kind except this week i have been having a homemade bran muffin b/c i really needed to get the extra bran/ fiber in... lunch has been a homemade mexican soup, greek yogurt and either cheese or hard boiled egg or veggies ( carrots, snap peas cherry tomatoes), snack in the pm was either fruit again or pickles kinda varies... dinner is different each night, tonight was soft tacos, last night ceaser salad and grilled chicken.... etc that is a idea of my day and it will bring me to min 1400 cals.0
-
that doesnt sound bad at all. i always buy a chicken a week and make it on sunday and use it for both lunch and dinner for a few days. if its on sale, ill buy two. i do almond milk in my shake too. the shake never fills me up so i use it right after my workout to give me a protein boost. sometimes ill throw in frozen fruit,. i would just focus alot of eating protein on the strength training days. you want to eat g's in protein equal to your lean body mass. i estimate it and make sure i eat 100 g's of protein per day. if i dont, i find myself thinking im hungry.
one last thing, i only eat sweet potatoes. no regular potatoes and no white flour unless i'm out to dinner or eating pizza (my once a week cheat.) i try to makesure everything has some sort of nutritional value but dont get me wrong i do slip. you have my email, send me an email if youd like and ill send u a huge list of what i eat ect0 -
I just started LEAN phase and at the beginning of Circuit 1, Chalean gives this really motivating speech at the beginning of the workout about this is where you will see all the changes and to eat clean, and your muscle needs protein, etc. Very good. I love her.0
-
thx everyone, i just struggle with getting protein up and carbs down all the time, i can't get it both right at all..... i try so hard to get protein up and i can't seem to get over 80 unless i eat a protein bar.... today so far i am at 80 and i still have 170 cals left,0

I finished Burn phase today
Results are not effective, I see tiny drops in waist and hips, weight is almost the same as at the beginning maybe 1 kg less, but my body become more firmed and doest shake so much in every move I take

glad to know it's not just me, lol Today is picture day and Tomorrow i start PUSH! I measured myself and no changes at all,i did the body fat tester too and i am tossing it out. I never get it in the same place twice and always get different results every time! 0

I definitely saw changes in BURN, but none in PUSH. I just started LEAN and it's my fav of all of them. It's INTENSE!! I burn over 200 calories on each circuit which I never did in Burn and Push. I sweat a ton too in LEAN. I'm hoping for results in LEAN and I've heard this is where the magic happens.
I hear you on the body fat tester. I don't quite get how it can be effective. Good luck with PUSH!!0 -
thx. i am excited to see what the results will be in the end... hard to wait,lol how did you ever figure out how many cals you burn as i have been told it's hard to know cals while lifting, as you burn more after then during?0

I use my heart rate monitor. My heart rate goes up in the 130s when I'm doing the leg exercises. It's crazy!!0 -
well i did my pics and i see subtle changes. so a positive thing. they are not huge changes at all but there is something at least. Did my 1st round of PUSH todya and i loved it, so i can't wait to see what the end of this will bring me...0

i have started the push phase today have to admit my glutes and hamstrings are on fire ( I used a 24lbs dumbells) 0 -
whoa mine would be too. i only have up to 20. and that is quite enough for me0
-
Well, I can't say definitively yet because I am about a week from finishing up Burn and have not yet done measurements or another round of progress pictures, but I don't see a lot of difference when I look in the mirror. I know my weight has held steady because I do weigh in every Friday. However, I can feel a difference in how heavy I can lift, which is half the reason I wanted to do ChaLean to begin with! Did you track your weight and reps for all of the burn phase? I'd say if you could do more reps and/or lift heavier by the end, that is progress indeed.0
-
The PUSH phase killed my glutes!!! There were days where I couldn't even sit !! LEAN is not so hard on the glutes. ;-)0
-
the right side of my neck is sore today, not sure if i went a bit too heavy or did it wrong? can't remember what it's called but just lifting straight up from your shoulders?0
-
So I lost and gained the same couple of pounds during PUSH phase (0 loss for the month)... however, I started LEAN phase last Wednesday and did my weekly weigh in this morning. DOWN 2.1 1bs!!!! Hmmmmmmm interesting! :happy:0
-
wow that is interesting.. what is the difference with lean then burn? i have gained 2 lbs since starting push, so i hope i can lose it after and not gain anymore... just maybe some inches?0

Burn is heavy weights, 10-12 reps to failure. Push is heavier weights, 6-8 reps to failure. Lean is heavy weights, 10-12 reps to failure. I found with PUSH I really upped my weights high and I felt like maybe I was bulking a bit. Lean is really intense and difficult but I don't have that bulking feeling. I'm loving LEAN but there are times where I don't think I can make it through. I always do though. :laugh:0 -
humm now i am scared for the lean phase....0

humm now i am scared for the lean phase....
I felt that way too when I read the other posts about LEAN, but it's really good. It's putting Burn and Push together so it's pretty intense. Weights come way down from Push though. I've just finished week 2 of Lean.0 -
so weights are heavier then burn but lighter then push?0
