I started my 4th week of cut yesterday and I have been very frustrated. I had posted on Raynn's thread on the other site that after an initial drop at the very beginning of cut the scale was going up nearly everyday. I knew that it wasn't real fat gain but it was so discouraging. I was really struggling with wanting to cut…

TurboFire is very much cardio based. There are some strength components with resistance bands and some HIIT workouts but many of the workouts are 45 and 55 minute long cardio sessions. Chalean Extreme is a heavy lifting program. You lift 3 days a week and do interval training 2 days a week. I am on my second round of…

Thanks for the response, Heidi. Am I understanding right that even if I do the rest week while still doing my reset I should eat at cut that week to balance out the lack of exercise? Did that make sense? Also, is there any advantage as to when I time my rest week, i.e. still during reset period vs after completing reset…

I'm on my second round of Chalean Extreme. I bought the powerblocks which go up to 24 pounds and I really regret not buying the heavier set or the selecttechs. I have some dumbbells that I can use that are 30 lbs and I have been using them for some lower body exercises since fairly early in the program. They are so…

Just checking in. I'm finishing my 3rd week of the reset and almost 3 months of eating more. I have had a very difficult week as many others have. I put on a skirt for church on Sunday and although it fit, it was snug and when I first got it I had debated buying a size smaller. I was so discouraged and like many others…

I'm doing my second round of Chalean Extreme. I use adjustable weights that go up to 24 lbs. With dumbbells up to 25 lbs you should be good. I use 30 lbs for a couple of exercises but you could easily make it work with the 25s. She even talks about how to make it work if your equipment isn't heavy enough. The only other…

This sounds so like me - LIttle older (50) but also 5'1", but I lost almost 80 pounds on WW and was within 5 pounds of goal when they changed the program to PPin 11/10 (and that was what... a year and a half ago? Coincidence?). I gained from 137 to 150-ish over that period of time despite being on program. So frustrating!…

I've been lurking in this group for a long time and decided it was time to finally post. I've been following EM2WL since March 25th and decided to do the reset on 6/2. I've looked at a numerous calculators and come up with an average of my stats which are: Age:40 Height: 5'1" BMR: 1378 TDEE: 2136 Cut: 15% 1816 I have been…
