  • I am LOVING ChaLEAN Extreme! Chalene Johnson, the trainer, is so positive and encouraging. I am 30 days in and already feel stronger and am noticing a change in the way my clothes fit.
  • I don't log everyday, but I am in a maintaining stage. I also think it is boring and gets old. I just try to make healthy choices and get my workouts in, if I notice I am gaining again, I'll log and be hyper-aware of what I am eating for a while. I think once you get in the groove of things logging isn't necessary, at…
  • Way to go! Kids are so cute! It's great too that they are noticing you are making changes for a healthier you! It will set them on the right track too!
  • I am sorry this is so frustrating for you! Its difficult to work so hard and not see results! Exercise is only part of it, how does your diet look? If you are doing all this work, but eating junk all day, your workouts in the gym are not going to be of much use. how many calories are you eating a day, what are you eating?…
  • Cut out the fast food and pizza as much as you can! All that is is junk and not helping your body. Start meal planning, and try to prep all your food ahead of time. Take 2-3 hours one day a week and get all your food ready for the week. If you have it all prepped and ready to go, it will be faster and healthier (and…
  • I know what you mean about getting bored with P90X! It is a great program, but Tony gets a little old after a while! Have you thought about trying a different program like Body Beast or Insanity? Another thing that may help is to take your program to the gym with you! I took P90X and now ChaLEAN Extreme with me on my…

  • These events and outings are always going to happen, so we need to learn how to deal with them in a healthy manner. Try and eat a healthy snack and drinking a big glass of water BEFORE going out, so you are not as hungry when you get there. Look at the menu ahead of time and decide what you can get and stick with that…

  • Don't throw everything you have worked for just because you had a bad few days. Don't look back, you can't change what happened this weekend, but you can make changes for a healthier you going forward! We all fall of track now and then, but that doesn't mean we should just stop. Don't wait for tomorrow, don't wait for next…

  • This! Don't let the bad days get you down. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Try setting some concrete goals that you can stick to (only one pepsi a day, or only 3 a week, You can have sweets 2x a week) Creating obtainable goals can really help. If you say "I am never having Pepsi or doughnuts again" you are going to…
  • It sounds like you could a have a possible gluten allergy too if your issues are getting worse from the cherrios and pita chips. Try cutting out gluten, or eating less of it. I would also add some weight lifting into your routine. If you need ideas of what to do message me and I can recommend some programs.

  • It depends, how many calories are you eatting?
  • What kinds of things do you do at the gym? Take classes? Have your own workout plan set up? Treadmill/Eliptical? I have been into taking my Workout DVD (P90X and ChaLEAN Extreme) and laptop or portable DVD player to the gym with me. It helps focus my time and I know I am getting a good workout in. If you have questions…

  • I've been going to the gym for 10 months now, and I still feel this way sometimes! My biggest problem is that I don't know what to do when I get to the gym. So I've started taking my workout videos (p90x, and ChaLEAN Extreme) to the gym with me. I set up my portable DVD player, or lap top and just do my thing. However,…

  • Don't let those bad days get you down. Each day is a new day and a fresh start. Put these days behind you and move forward. We all have our downfalls,so what you had a few bad days, you can still keep going. Don't dwell on them.
