I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner like normal and just eat until I'm full. I'm teaching Turbo Kick the night before and the night after so hopefully that'll burn off the extra calories. It's totally fine to splurge one day. Plus, I'll need the extra calories for my energy for BLACK FRIDAY!!!! :D

I'd like to thank all the coaches who contributed to this post. It's really made me re-evaluate my life as a Beachbody coach. So much of the business is about signing up coaches quickly to climb the ladder, etc. Even my own 4-star diamond upline coach is guilty of posting on Facebook about how you can make tons of money,…

Both my boyfriend and I are frustrated with the company's handling of the coaching system, especially now with the free coach signups and soon-to-be TV advertising. It's basically going to advertise to the public to join up as a coach and all profits from that will go to diamond coaches. That makes it really difficult for…

I like being a coach, but I originally signed up for the Shakeology discount. After seeing so much success, it's an investment that's repaid itself. I love coaching others - seeing them hit their fitness goals is immensely rewarding. Since becoming a Beachbody coach, I've gained the confidence and motivation to lose almost…

Conversely, I appreciate the info as a fitness instructor. I'll have to check out our local Groupon and see if I can apply. Thanks!

I absolutely adore your Princess Peach costume! Fantastic work! :) I, too, have never been able to dress up in one of the sexy costumes. I'm 24 but even not being obese, they don't fit. I haven't tried any on this year, I'm still just a little shy about it. Instead I'm making a Belle (from Beauty & the Beast) peasant…

I work 8:30/9:00-5:30/6:00 p.m. M-F. I also work about 40 minutes away from my home. Wednesdays and Fridays I teach Turbo Kick for an hour at a local (to work) fitness studio at 6:45 p.m. Mon, Tues, Wed I get home usually at 6, eat dinner with the boy, then usually start my at-home workout around 8 p.m. I use programs such…

I do the same. It starts the second I start exercising and ends the moment I stop.

Unfortunately they don't have room to put it on the SPA track. This may not be panning out. Next year, however, there will be Turbo Kick classes as events!:)

Trying to get a free Beachbody workout session set up at GenCon if anyone is interested. It would be Saturday at 10:00 a.m. It's FREE and will probably be TurboFire, plus a preview of some other workouts.

Hmm this sounds like Florida. :) It's been so darn hot lately!! I'd have to save it counted but who knows. Just make sure you're drinking plenty of water and get some electrolytes back in your system too. I know when I do that kind of work I always end up with a headache from a lack of hydration.

We have a vacation next week and I have NO idea how we're going to incorporate TurboFire workouts. It's a convention so that means traveling on the road Tuesday night through Monday evening. We'll be in a hotel room with others so it will be PACKED. I'm not sure where I'll be able to do the workouts, let alone when. :/ The…

I used to do this but now I realize that weighing in on Fridays kind of encourages me to overindulge on the weekends. Since my weigh-in days are now Sundays or Mondays, I have to be held accountable for my Friday and Saturday actions. It's been working so far and really helps me commit to my new lifestyle.

Anyone else notice how much easier HIIT 20 is compared to HIIT 15??

Hey Janet! I, too, suffer from plantar fasciitis. My left knee also has issues. I had to start out TurboJam for a month modifying and now I am able to do the air jacks and high knees for TurboFire without pain. I haven't experienced ANY foot pain, which is very different for me. I wear running shoes that I had fitted for…

I think so. The LARP I'm doing now is like acting out a play with Game Masters - no physicality to it.

I've always gone off the total sandwich value. I get the pesto turkey bullet, though, so it may be different. The only bad part about Quizno's is all the darn sodium.

I've done a few LARPs. We have one group of friends who are more on the normal end of LARPing. I can't get into anyone else's because they're just too far out there or the people are a bit... off. :) I did do Dagorhir a while ago. It's a live action combat game where you enact battles with armies armed with foam weapons.…

Kittytrix- I LOVE that show. I've been wanting to o Suki's costume. I know you'll get up to it! :) The thing with Slave Leia is that for me it's kind of a defining costume for being in shape. I have to be at my goals to wear that costume or else I refuse to wear it in public. So I've given myself a year to try and get…

My goal is to rock a Slave Leia metal bikini on my 25th birthday, next June 19.

Wow you look awesome!!! Great job! :D

It's the end of Week 1 and the start of Week 2 today. I feel like I've been doing TurboFire for a month already. I've seen great progress - 3 pounds my first week, but I just want to make sure I keep moving forward. I am exhausted and I've learned a few things from this program the first week. 1. Recovery and Results…

You CAN work out seven days a week. However, you can't do the same workout that seventh day. I feel awful on my rest days (Friday) because I love working out every day. It just makes me feel like I've accomplished something every day. I use my rest days to take my puppies for a walk around the neighborhood. It's a half…

Weighed in today. Lost 2.6 pounds my first week on MFP. :) Last night I battled the Chinese food restaurant to stay under my calories and eat a sensible 700 (lol)-calorie meal. I was so proud of myself because this is the first time I've EVER been able to commit to being healthy when going out to eat Chinese. Mexican is my…

Sherri, If you're truly severely out of shape, then I wouldn't recommend TurboFire to start. It's a somewhat intense program for people, even with modifying the moves. The only thing the modifiers do is help with knee issues. It's still a very active class for 30 minutes or even an hour. I know that with being in shape and…

Agreed on the cheese part. It defeats the purpose if you add too much unhealthy cheese with it. ;) I love this substitution and that's coming from a Midwestern girl raised on meat and potatoes.

Rice and beans. Go for black beans, wheat tortillas, (though you should try and avoid taco shells, chips, etc) low-fat cheeses and veggies. Lots of veggies! I usually get a taco salad with just the chicken, low-fat cheese on the side (so you can control the portion), tomatoes, NO SHELL and no dressing. I use salsa as a…

Hey! I just started TurboFire on Wednesday (making my rest days Fridays). I'm loving every minute of it so far. How are you progressing on it? I've found the HIIT sessions so far to be very difficult for me but drinking 1 scoop of recovery formula in my water during the session powers me through. Friend request sent!

My HRM tells me I burn anywhere from 800-1300 calories doing TurboFire so I can appreciate that! :)

Buddies are such an important key to success! I'd love to have more :)
