I'm thinking about just starting the 17 day diet tomorrow because I'm on Day 4 of the FSD and it basically the same thing but without meat. I was planning on picking up the 17 day on December 9th and finishing there. Do you think my results would differ because I didn't start off eating meat with the 17 diet for 9 days?…

I only go to the 24/hour walmarts extremely late at night if im awake or early in the morning. i just cannot take the environment and dealing with the people that shop and work there. it's exhausting but i love the low prices

If you go to Walmart in their fitness section they have several DVDs for $10 like Jilian Michaels and Biggest Loser.

http://startnew-habits.tumblr.com/workout This link has several free online workouts online such as Turbo Jam, P90X, Insanity, Zumba, etc. You can workout for free from your computer.

Fire 30 today! I'm also doing Turbo Jam on certain days. I was able to do the burpees today when before I could only do the modified version.

I love Turbo Jam! It's a great workout program that combines dancing, kickboxing, and martial arts. It's a 4 week program where you do a different workout for 6 days a week and you have one off day. But honestly, just doing this workout 3 times a week you will see weight loss. I lost 30 pounds last year from Turbo Jam and…

I was going to ask the same thing. Turbo Fire is a great workout for me to do at home. You might not be burning enough calories per day. You lose weight by burning more calories than you consume.

Thanks for your feedback

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. I want to make this a lifestyle change and I've never been the type of person that restricted myself from eating. The 17 day diet and fat smash diet seems practical but I'm just not happy. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning. I was a lot happier being able to eat what I…

This is a great way to look at it. Any weight lost is progress. Onwards and upwards dahhling!

Hello I'm April Joy and I'm looking to lose 80 pounds. I wanna be 130-140 by July 2012 which I think is reasonable. My ultimate goal would be in the 125 range but we'll see what my body looks like once I start losing serious weight. I want to start this diet after Thanksgiving because it makes sense and it will help speed…

Absolutely no soda, white bread/rice/pasta only whole wheat products, and no fast food. If I get take out it has to be prepared and made to order.

Exactly lol

Can canola oil be used as a healthy fat on this diet?

Well for starters the guilt is natural but there's nothing wrong with treating yourself every now and then. I usually do a day replacing two meals with shakes/protein smoothies as discipline for the food I ate the day before. I start the morning drinking hot water and lemon, green tea, 32 oz water, and berry protein…

I think this is a great idea because not everyone understands. I'm a Senior Management Information Systems major.

This has been a very rough week. I've only lost weight because of stress but I'm getting back on track.

When I was shopping and looking for my size in Forever 21 and I realized that I was confined to a small section with limited options labeled "Plus Size" when there was an entire store with tons of different styles and clothes that I couldn't fit because I was a size 14. This was when I said enough is enough.

Weigh in tomorrow and I'm pretty excited and confident I will see some changes in numbers this week. I've been working out for at least 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours everyday despite having extremely tight hamstrings. I attempted Insanity on Monday and ended up really sore. I'm not ready for that yet and it's completely…

Great job ladies! I'm definitely going to try to drink more water. I get at least 64 oz per day but hitting the 110 oz has been a challenge. My favorite low carb/low fat/ no sugar snacks: Sugar free jello (any flavor) w/ greek yogurt Egg whites or boiled egg + one slice of turkey bacon Laughing bow light swiss cheese wedge

I might try this because sometimes when my shoes laces are too tight the top of my foot hurts and this can be inconvenient when working out.

You've done P90X and Insanity with no shoes? Interesting

I need to lose that much to be at my ultimate goal weight and I completely understand where you are coming from. I always tell myself, it took a long time to get where I am now and it's going to take a long time to get to where I want to be. It won't happen overnight. It makes sense biologically that if you burn more…

AMAZING!!! You look great congratulations. What a transformation!

Yes but compared to what a lot of us have been eating (fast food, fried food, high calorie) it's an improvement. I'd rather eat actual meals than Shakeology and Slim Fast at this point anyways. Shakeology tastes horrible and isn't worth the price in my opinion.

Try http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm This is a pretty accurate calculator and the caloric intake was similar to what was recommended by my physician and Beachbody fitness site versus MFP. My calories on MFP are way overboard if I want to lose at least 2 pounds per week.

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm I use this tool along with recommendations from Beachbody since I'm doing Turbo Fire. These tools seem to be a bit more accurate than MFP because with MFP the expected caloric goal was excessive.

HIIT workouts are designed for the after burn instead of the initial calorie burn. Fire 30, 45, and 55 are for high calorie burns right after workout. That paired with HIIT you are destined to see results.

I'm starting a new round of Turbo Fire. Have you all noticed the difference in calories recommended from team beach body site versus my fitness pal?
