Hello my awesome turbo fire peeps!
Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there - hope you guys are enjoying the day!
I am so happy! I completed week 1 and i followed the workouts according to schedule each day. That is a big accomplishment because if life gets too busy, i start making excuses and begin missing workouts. I'm really happy to have you guys and to see how much energy you all put into these things! SO EVERYBODY, CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THROUGH THE WEEK!! WOOHOO!
on to other news, OMG @myroots, thank you so much for posting that blog entry. I was freaking out because I only lost 0.5 lbs this week and for the last 3 days the scale kept showing that I was gaining 2lbs. in all fairness, I could have eaten 10 time better than I did. I unknowingly ate a dessert yesterday that had about a billion and five calories. anyway, losing weight takes time, it just doesn't fall off overnight - sometimes I lose sight of that.
@stacio and @jessicapages - holy moly great job on the inch loss! that's so freakin amazing!!! my goal this week is to hide the scale so i don't weigh myself every spare chance i get. as for measurements, I think i'm going to hold out until week 4. Did you guys do the before/after shots?
anyway, today i did core 20/stretch 40. I'm so not a big yoga fan at all. @muffintop, i hear you - i don't find it relaxing at all but i'm going to plow through it in the weeks to come. i loved core 20 - I can still feel the burn which is an awesome feeling!
gonna go enjoy the sunshine - stay fabulous guys! :glasses:
Yep, I did before shots. My plan is to weigh myself once a week (which I'm doing more like everyday, but I'm going to stop), take bi-weekly measurements, and take new pictures every month.
Same here,I will take measurments evey month and take pics.I will also TRY to only weigh myself every 2 weeks.0 -
So I decided to start again as my first week got a little distracted but I have now planned properly when I am going to work out for the next month. So today was Fire 30 and Stretch 10 for a total burn of 425 cals according to my body media.0

I have lost 2 inches on my waist, half inch on my thighs (each), inch from my hips since the 28th of April! Pretty excited! actually wore a bikini at the beach yesterday! feeling better all the time! GO TURBOFIRE!!!0

So, I thought I would post my results from my 8 weeks of Turbo Fire. Maybe to give a little insight to those just starting out or wanting to start an idea of how awesome TF really is. I don't know what I lost in pounds because I don't weigh. I decided to focus on inches.
Start Date: March 21, 2011
Arm -11.5
Waist -29
Hips- 38.5
Thigh -24
Bust- 34.5
Latest May 8 2011
Arm-10.5
Waist-26.5
Hips-35.5
Thigh-21.75
Bust-320 -
Awesome results @carriecolleen- I can't wait to post something similar.
Today I did CLX Burn Circuit 2. My arms and legs are shaking! Yesterday I decided to do Fire 55- awesome calorie burn. The scale was super nice to me this morning and said I was down 3.5 pounds this week. I'm going to wait and see if that's accurate, though. If it is, I am lower than I have been in 10 years- since my first pregnancy.0 -

Congrats!! My weight loss goal is to be back (or under) where I was when I graduated high school 9 years ago - 122 pounds. After that I gained the "freshman 6" and slowly gained until I graduated from vet school at 136ish. I am currently fluctuating from 123 to 125 - getting so close!0 -
Oh man I did not want to do fire 60 today.Went for a walk and Miss Sophia fell asleep only 10 min form our house,then woke up and would not go back to sleep.So we went and had lunch jumped on the trampoline and then had to pick up big sis from school.On the way to get sis she fell asllep for 5 min.OMGI thought She is never going to take a nap!But we came home and I did get her to sleep.By then it was around 2:30 pm & I was not wanting to do any workout.So I chugged a MONSTER and I bit the bullet and GOT IT DONE!!!!! So glad that I did I feel GREAT!!!! Burned 991 calories with fire 60 and walking today.Hope everyone is having a great day!!0

hi guy -
today has been SO busy - i can't believe it' already almost 5 - seriously, where has time gone? i finally did Fire 45 aka 'the boom i've got your boyfriend" workout - i'm pretty sure i was more excited about the song!!! i love it - this workout is super fun!!! i'm still totally uncoordinated but i'm getting better. hurray for a fun beginning to week 2! tomorrow is HIIT 20 - am i gonna huff and puff or what?
y'all had some great burns today! keep up the great work you guys! Love hearing about all your results -- Congrats to @carriecolleen on the inches lost.
so i totally hid my scale in the back of my closet - i'm not gonna weigh myself until sunday - hopefully i'll have something good to report. i've also banned myself from desserts this week or just bad food in general. (i'm still feeling guilty about that dessert i had last week - it was 1300 calories *dies* :explode: )
in other news, i am still sore from core.
alright, i'm outta here ---> flowers for youuu :flowerforyou: have an awesome day

Keep forgetting about this thread! So please allow me to rejoin :flowerforyou:
Today was HIIT 20 and Tone 30 for me. My arms are feeling a little sore, but loving it. And I'm going to read that blog post from Chalene right now about not losing because I often feel down on myself for only having lost 3.5 lbs. I'm in week 10 now, so no turning back! But get discouraged sometimes.0 -

Giiiirrrll...that's why I gave up the scale...It would send me into complete depression and I would end up getting discouraged and quitting. I don't own a scale and honestly have no clue what I weigh...and I like it!!
And thanks y'all for the congrats! I feel fantastic...Chalene is a GODDESS!! She changed my life 0 -
also did fire 45 today for 430 calories burned. also did CLX push 3 for another 180 calories and some very sore arms. I definitely don't have heavy enough weights for this circuit.0
-
fire 45 done! Didnt wear my HRM so just estimated my calorie burn under what MFP says. Glad I did my workout even though I didn't have energy.0
-
So I started week 5 today! I am sad that there are no HIIT workouts this month, I really, really like them.
55 EZ and Stretch 10 today - burned 584 calories.0 -

Oh, THAT'S Fire 45! That's right... I do like that one too. Good job on hiding the scale; it's probably a wise decision. I am trying to cut down on the desserts too. I LOVE chocolate though, so it's really hard!0 -

Have you been taking your measurements? Have you noticed a difference in how your clothes are fitting?0 -
After my fire 45 class I hopped on the bike and knocked out 6 miles total for the night.0

FIre 45 & Stretch 10 done! That was a fun one!
Except the stretching... I'm getting really bored with Stretch 10. Had to really talk myself into doing it tonight.
Scared about HIIT 20 tomorrow... almost died doing the last one and it was only 15min. :sick:
When do we get a whole month of no HIIT, that sounds great to me.0 -

Day 2 week 2 the scale isn't my friend it is my worst enemy. I'm very frustrated with the numbers that keep climbing up. I am basically watching all my previous hard work disappear. I have gained 15lbs since my husband returned from Afghanistan.
I'm still plugging away hoping that the scale will start to go the opposite direction.
So I just finished HIIT 20 and I'm not pleased with the amount of calories I burned so I'm doubling up and just popped in HIIT 15 which i will follow with either Core 20 or Either tone and sculpt. Hoping to get a bike ride in today as well. It's still early though.0 -
Great pic cookie.
Completed Week 12. Tomorrow is a rest day and begin advanced cardio with TF 60 on Thursday.0 -
so, after all my excellent exercise yesterday afternoon, I was on call last night (I'm a veterinarian). I worked another 6 hours, basically from 6pm to midnight, and that included doing a c-section on a cow. After first spending an hour trying to deliver the calf vaginally before switching to c-section, I am pretty sure I burned another 500-1000 calories (but who really knows). I was sweating worse than turbofire and so sore today I feel like a bus hit me. I'm spending the morning on the couch trying to rest up after only 5 hours of sleep before going to work. not really feeling up to working out later (supposed to do fire 55ez), but thinking of doing a HIIT workout and maybe stretching if I feel up for it later. Just going to be good on calories, especially considering I was didn't really eat any of my exercise calories yesterday and pretty much got in a double workout. Will let you know how things work out with the workout!0

@blakgarnet Wow that sounds intense! You def burned some calories
@ Coach- Week12! Keep pushing play.
Today is catch up day for me starting with Fire 45 EZ 0 -
HIIT 20,HIIT 15, and a 45 minute bike ride = 715 calories burned; Still might do Core 20 but have to catch my breath Riding bikes in the heat going down trails is no joke.0
