I am big into cardio. I have the complete set and schedule but started on week 13 b/c the intro was too light for me....I needed at least 45 min each day. I agree with the comment on not getting frustrated...it is easier the second, third, etc. times.....just try it and then keep up with it. At least 3 weeks and you'll…

Not sure about you guys but I have a hard time saying NO when it's at the house so......I leave it at the store. If I don't buy it, I don't eat it! Last night I went out for ice cream. A friend said we could get a 1/2 gallon and toppings at the store, I said, "no b/c then I will eat the entire container the rest of the…

I weight about 148, you can see my profile pic.....people just don't understand muscle weight I guess.

AbRipperX, TurboFire Abs10.....alternate everyother day at least 5/week.

TurboFire Upper 20 IN ADDITION TO....Cardio!!

Kraft mac & cheese has the new veggie pasta (made from ground califlower). Just get a box of that and throw away the cheese mix. Then you can also have a smaller amount that the huge box of elbow noodles too.....resist temptation. LOL

JM has lots of Upper Body suggestions....or take things from the 30DS and just do them in a chair. It's not ideal but can get your heart rate up and uses arm strength and core. Good Luck!

Measurements? I am right there with you in this particular area......My clothes fit fine but my scale is staying the same or going in the wrong direction.....HA, it must be a 'summer prank'.

So you've said it out loud....Now, ask yourself WHAT CAN YOU CHANGE on that list? Yes, all of the things are TERRIBLE and just 1 would be a lot for a person to handle, BUT what can you do about that stuff? If you are able to help or change it, then do so. If NOT????? TAKE CARE OF YOU.....THATS HOW YOU WILL HELP THEM. A…

Have you considered a pre-workout supplement? I know some people use that......I will look into it myself. School starts back for me August 1 and that will be my biggest challenge... The first 4 weeks of school kills my schedule - in all areas.

Have you tried running to music? When I first started I ran or walked to songs - they are usually 3 min in length. Black Eyed Peas got me through.....finally made a mix of upbeat songs and got my time down.

I also have a local Mexican that my family LOVES. I have changed my order to......fajitas (chicken or steak, depending on mood) with NO tortillas, rice or beans, tomatoe or sourcream. I mix the mea, peppers, onions, shrooms on a bed of lettuce with some guacamole and shredded cheese. I LOVE IT! but that's just me. Yes, the…

Emerald has a 100 calorie Dark Cocoa Almond snack pack....gets dark chocolate and almonds. I put mine in the freezer so they are cold and crunchy. LOVE THEM!

I had the opposite until now.....even when I watched what I ate it didn't improve, then I started the EAT CLEAN (with modifications for my life) and started taking Centrum Performance. That was the ticket for me...I bought regular Centrum b/c it was cheaper and my nails became weaker. I bought the C Performance again a few…

A MFP friend of mine suggested BSN Lean Dessert Protein. Its about 150cal., 8g carbs, 21g protein. I LOVE IT!!! I mix it w/ Fuze Slenderize which is low cal. and low carb also.....YUMMY!

YES! I try to order food the way I want it....one time the waitress said, "trying to make our food as healthy as possible?" I was kindof embarrased but I just got out my phone and logged what I ordered. I know that it's not worth the "hangover" I'll have afterward. I suggest places that I know I can get as healthy a choice…

I thought I was the only person saying to myself....when I get a small enough waist I'll get a belly piercing. LOL - I'm ignorant. I went from almost 34 down to 30. I use a fabric tape measure, and am probobly obsessed with it. I monitor daily....just to keep myself on track. I am a FREAK I know, but I've worked steadily…

Emerald 100 Calorie Pack Cocoa Roast Almonds Cal = 100 Fat = 8g Carbs = 4g YUMMY!

I do Turbo Fire also, but I started on Week 13 b/c I came from p90x and a few other programs. The beginning ones just seemed to be "not enough". I only do HIIT 30 as well. I add in the Ab Ripper X on the days I'm not doing Abs10. I also do the Upper20 and Lower20 every other day because I need more strength training in my…

grilled sirloin and veges on the grill in foil....broccoli, squash, green peppers and vidalia onions in a ginger sauce.

Just bought Six star Pro Nutrition Whey Protein Vanilla....LOVE IT. It's so thick -mixed in some crushed ice, skim milk, and 1/2 a banana. I always use a blender for my recovery so it was natural to use one for this. It is FANTASTIC and my boyfriend said, "Wow that tastes like a McDonald's milkshake". He's nuts!

Just did TurboFire Core20 today for the first time. It was standup ab and core work. IF you could get a copy of that to preview or try it may help.

9 years in for me....6 in the classroom and 3 in administration. send me a request. I'm currently in WV via education and work experience in FL.

I agree 110% about the shoes....I bought the asics kayano 17 shoes (pricey but found on ebay for about 20$ less than the store) and cut my time down and improved my joint discomfort. same for my BF too. He had terrible knee pain and the shoes were a big help! p.s. try the shoes on in a store like ****'s or Hibbett, etc.…

I don't know about you guys but I'm going to list my extra large clothing on ebay! Even if it sells for a few bucks its $$$$ to buy clothes that actually fit. One thing I do hate is that my 11 year old and I wear the same size shirts and therefore she is wanting anything new that I reward myself with.....UGH! I know it…

add time on a regular basis. I added 60 sec every few days...it will build up over time.

I LOVE TURBO FIRE~! It has to be the right thing for you though. I started P90X but got bored b/c it wasn't what MY body needed. When I got the Turbo Fire I was so advanced cardio wise that I skipped directly to week 13. I am used to working out at least 60 min/day and this was perfect for me. It is an amazing program!…

I try to at have higher protein than carbs. At worst I match my carbs and protein. On the settings page you can adjust the numbers the MFP give you....try that if you don't like looking at the numbers given.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE......Turbo Fire! and it can be for any fitness level. I started on week 13 because I was so cardio advanced but it has 25 min. cardio workouts to start...Check it OUt!

depends on what your watching....when I am doing low carb I grab a slim jim or beef jerky from the concession stand (beware of sodium level though) If you can remember, put a bottle of water in the freezer and make it into a slushy drink by taking a sip and adding a drink mix packet...a few hours before the game and it…
