    Hi Dani, I am in week two of Turbo Fire. LOVE IT! I bypassed Shakeology and got Pure Nutrition from Purebody Nutrition and I love it too. I even crave the protein shakes...yay me. I have 90 pounds to lose and I am motivated to eat right, exercise and whoop whoop some booty. You can add me if you like and we can keep a check on each other.

    See ya,
    Tiff

    I really liked it, but it was hard to keep up. Not so much because of the workout itself, but because she was moving too quickly through the moves w/ no explanation. I kept moving, but it made it difficult to keep up. It was very high-energy and motivating, though, and I felt great all day. :)

    I am sticking w/ the 1500 cal/day diet. It was pretty close to where I need to be anyway, and I like that I can follow the nutrition guide more easily. Anything that makes my life easier is good. My overall goals include weight-loss first and then body shaping. I have about 40 lbs that I would like to lose total.

    I loved P90X and Insanity when I did them before (it's been awhile... I'm a "yo-yo" exerciser too). I'd like to do both of those workouts again, but I've heard great things about TF and I really want to focus on losing the weight right now.

    Thanks for asking. Any tips?

    Welcome aboard Stacio! Thanks for telling us about your first day using TF. I'm really excited to start on Sunday. Right now, I'm finishing up TJ and prepping for TF this week so i'm not so lost in doing the moves during week 1. (lol i'm kinda uncoordinated like that - i guarantee it'll take me about three tries before I get each workout right.) anway, keep posting progress girl!

    Thanks for the welcome! I love all of the support. The moves were easier for me today, but it was HIIT and it kicked my butt. I can tell it's been a while since I've worked out. :)

    Burned 462 calories, :drinker: hope everyone is having a great evening

    Great job! Since I moved a few months ago, I haven't been able to find my hrm. I have no idea how many calories I'm burning, but oh well.

    Hey ladies...I would like to join but I love anything Turbo Fire. I'm in week 7 and love how my body is changing. GL everyone!

    HIIT 25 today and burned 291 calories. I have a head cold and I wanted to die by the time I was done but still had a smile on my face. I only did a 6 on a scale of 10 so I can't wait to do this one again when I am feeling better.
    I did not try the Inferno Plan before starting the program so I can't comment on that.
    so far I have lost 5 lbs in the 3 weeks that I have been doing TurboFire. I have not been very consistent though due to being sick and life just getting in the way. I think I have missed at least 1 workout a week but I am going to change that this week.

    I did HIIT 15 today; it kicked my butt. I felt like my body could have gotten through it ok but I got lightheaded and nauseous about 2/3 of the way into it and had to slow it down and then stop so that I wouldn't throw up. I guess I'm a little out of shape, lol. Oh well, I'll get back into the groove. I've heard so many people say how much they love TF; I'm really excited to start seeing results and get further into it.

    Great job everyone! :happy:

    hi everyone!!!!

    hope you all had a fantastic day! A big warm welcome to all you fabulous ladies joining us on this TF journey! (I'm talking to you --- CrankyButt, kikix5, caligirl86, ellemay87, heppin1, firmjeannie, jackiekjames, eajones1983, chelsealovesyou, tiffmint, jessicapages, blondie76)

    for those of you that have already started TF, it's so nice to hear your results so far. So Week 1 begins this sunday for me. I plan on doing the Inferno plan in week 2. I'm hesitant to spend the money on Shakeology - can anyone rec any other comparable brands? Does anyone use the recovery formula?

    Great work everyone - keep it up! We can do this!!!!


    in complete randomness, i am completely fan-girling/gleeking out at the warbler's version of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know." Any Glee fans out there? that.was.awesome.

    Hi, everyone!

    I absolutely love TurboFire. Unfortunately, I had a bad 2 weels where I just wasn't motivated to workout, so I started the TurboFire Prep schedule yesterday, but I am thinking that by May 1st I would definitely be able to go all out and add the HIIT workouts in again. I have Chalean Extreme too and I debate whether or not I should do the hybrid but would like to complete a cycle of each before I mix them in. What does everyone think. Feel free to friend me on here, I don't have any yet. LOL! : (

    Jeannie

    hey Jeannie,
    i know all about what it's like to be unmotivated. That's why I think this site is so neat. When I see other people posting their workouts, it motivates me to do mine too! Try the TF program with me on May 1st. If you don't feel that it is challenging enough, maybe then do the CE/TF hybrid? regardless, I promise to be on your case and help keep you motivated!! :)

    Hi Erin --
    I'm starting TF on Sunday but I've done other intense workouts so I may offer some tips.

    a) are you eating before you workout? sometimes that helps boost energy levels. (don't have a big meal but eat something about an hour or so before you workout)

    b) honestly, don't be afraid to press the pause button. the more you keep doing the workouts, the stronger you'll get. the key is to get through them. plus, you are only on Day 2 -- i promise it'll get better as you get stronger. the key is to do the whole workout....so what if it takes you an hour to do the workout instead of 40 minutes...the key is that you completed it! Push yourself but know your limits too!

    don't feel discouraged. at the end of the day, there's a learning curve when it comes to learning new exercises. take your time to learn the moves and you'll start to get the hang of it. (it does take a few tries!)

    hope that helps.
    -danielle

    ps. i added you :)

    First, just stick with it and do your best. As you get in better shape, you will be able to do more. If you need to take short breaks, I would say to go for it. Just make sure that they aren't too long so that you don't allow your heart rate to slow down too much.

    I haven't exercised in a while and I struggled through day 2 today too. I just pushed myself as hard as I could and then didn't worry about the rest. Good job... keep it up!!

    hahaha i just posted about this to ladybug. we are addicted!!!! On rest days, I get so antsy to workout. In the past, I planned my "off" days on the weekend and i'd do something else to warrant a workout, like go dancing with the girls or mow the lawn, or take the dog for a longer walk etc etc. anyway, whatever you do --- make sure you put the rest in rest day! :P

    I've lost about 4 pounds. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow for my final result. I have been following a plan from my nutritionist rather than the inferno's diet plan but it was around 1200 with empahsis on protein. and limiting simple carbs.

    hi heppin!!!! congrats on getting through the inferno plan....you are a rock star! post your final results!!!!!! i'm excited to hear about it!

    hey guys,

    I found this great post about the way MFP works and how exercising affects how many calories you eat. i found it really interesting so I thought I'd share:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/225765-how-mfp-works

    Nutrition is a BIG struggle for me because I have a fairly active and social lifestyle and so I'm really trying to educate myself to make the most out of the TF program.

    Well it was supposed to be my rest day but I am making up for Sunday since I didn't workout. I'm doing Core 20 and Stretch 40 tonight. Yesterday I did the Fire 30 class with the Sculpt 30. Even though Sculpt/Tone is my least favorite classes, I can start to see my muscles build up.

    feel free to add me. i am on week 10 and i have lost about 7 lbs and 4 inches dropped went from a 12 to 10 some 8so fit but i wan't looking for a quick fix so i am happy with my results. i am 5-3 and now i weigh 146. i really just want to get down to about 135-140. like everyone else if my eating habits were better i would be losing more but i don't like depriving myself. i feel like if you deprive your self then you just binge on everything in site. but i am going to start over on may 1 and do the schedule exactly as planned. althoug i don't work out 6 days a week just 5 days. but i think i am on the right track. and so far i have kept the weight off. but good luck.
