I lost 30 lbs in 2007, built muscles and was very toned. I maintained the weight, exercised and ate clean for 2.5 years. Unfortunately sometime in the middle 2009 I slipped again to bad habits. Although I exercised regularly and daily, it was not enough to compensate for eating out, eating bread in restaurants, suddenly…

My mirror image and especially the look at my photos from 6 years ago. I used to be very toned and 30lbs lighter. Can't believe I slipped so much from my diet. It is hard work to get back to where I was especially as the age progresses.

Yay, vote for JNL Fusion here. Amazing burn. i am using HRM and although I love Chalean, I burn double the amout of calories with JNL for the same time. Have been doing it for 3 weeks now and still feeling crazy challenged by it. At the same time I think, I can do anything in 30 s, right? I love this programme.

I am thinking of buying it. How is it going? Do you still like X-Train?

I am doing JNL Fusion at the moment and can't recommend it enough. It is the best programme so far. I tried Chalean Extreme, P90X, Turbo Fire, Insanity and Body Revolution in the past but JNL Fusion works best for me. It swaps 30s strengths and 30s cardio. It is fast moving and you can start to increase the weight of…

I am in! My target is 30 lb but frankly, 20 sounds more realistic :)

Oh, I am sympathising so much. My plantar fasciitis started 3 years ago and I gained 30 lbs since then. I am 45 now and I used to run regularly every day for an hour. Sadly, I developed a spur and suffered from enormous pain in my left heel. After about a year I went to a doctor who started with corticoid injections. I had…

I think exactly the same. Whenever I am not losing, I know that I have underestimated my calories intake. It happens. Calories in have to be less than calories out. As simple as that + any time I have wine or more carbs my weight stalls.

Oh yes, the weather in NY was fabulous. My hubby and I were actually thinking about renting bikes but then walked for 16 km :)

Add me, if you want

You should be able to get back faster. If you only ate bad for 2 days, I am sure you should be fine in a couple of days. Try to eat less in next two days, i.e. around 1200 calories and focus on protein and veg. It should do the job. At least that is what happens to me.

I wouldn't get lost in tdee, bmr etc and experiment with reducing calories by 500 and you'll see.

I am on the Burn circuit and having the same problem. I think that is the downside of CLX for older people like me (45). I am alternating it with JNL Fusion and don't have the same problem with JNL. So although I love CLX, my lower back struggles. When I drop the weights, I really don't push myself enough. The biggest…

I am a defender of real food. Eggs and smoked salmon or ham for breakfast are my favorites. I totally acknowledge the nutrients in these shakes but I can't stand sweet milk shakes for breakfast or as a substitute of any other meal. Also I think I need to chew something during my meals. That brings satisfaction.

Yes, I am 45, feeling 25, but weighing 30 lbs more. Pls add me, I am sure we have lots of common things :)

I wish I could run. But I developed a spur and plantar fasciitis. Sometimes I have a good day and can run, but most of the times I just get an unbearable pain in my left bottom heel and that's it. Can't run any more. But I can walk uphill with dumbbells in my hands. Great burn by the way depending on the steepness and the…

Bananas don't work for me. I love them as well as grapes and other sweet fruit but unfortunately they make put a stop on my weight loss. I used to have 1 - 2 bananas with Greek yoghurt and a few almond flakes for breakfast. But I feel my weight responds much better to two eggs with some smoked salmon or ham on the side…

I love sliced grilled chicken and crunch raw carrots with it.

I am 45 and it is definitelly much harder to lose weight. Pls add me anyone, happy to support each other.

I've been using Polar for several years and had different models. The main problem with the strap is that once the battery goes, even if you replace it, it often does not work as reliably as before and often loses the signal. I discovered I have to invest into a new strap approximately once a year. Other than that I love…

Great job! I have a dress to fit in too :) Thanks for an inspiring story.

I love combining both. So if you are into DVD programmes, I can highly recommend Jillian Michaels Body Revolution or JNL Fusion in particular.

It is actually quite hard to find the composition of this stuff. Anyone knows?

Tha programme is using light weights and you can make it easier or harder based on your level. There is a different body part trained each day and she does 30s strength and 30 s cardio. My hubby tried it the other day and he considers it more intensive than Body Revolution with Jillian Michaels which he is now in week 12.…

Thanks Berry. I hope it will be only three days. Will try ice this evening.

Exaxtly that :) I am trying to limit wine to weekends now.

46 in October. Pls add me any of you.

I agree with the above. Muscle burns fat and in order to reduce fat, you have to eat clean and do cardio and strenghth exercise.

Just added you.

Robert, that is amazing. Great job. When you got this far, I am sure you will reach your goal. Add me as a friend if you want. I am relatively new to this site.
