These posts made me smile! I loved the Push phase, I felt so strong! Lean was tough for me. I felt like I couldn't lift as heavy and share the sentifment about the shoulders! I started the program over last week and will see it through, but I am adding Brazilian Butt lift Master Series on off days. I think Chalean does…

I didn't take a break between any phase, nor when I started over. I feel OK. Will say that the last month of the program I felt very weak! Maybe I should have.

I saw this on Chalene Johnson's facebook page: "Don't compare your start to someone elses middle"......I would add don't compre yourself to 20 somethings. I would recommend considering weight training. I have been doing Chalene Extreme for the past 90 days, lost 10% body fat, several inches. I don't weight myself too much,…

I also have a hypothyroid.....avoid all gluten and lift heavy. Worked like a charm for me. Good luck!

Why not drink that protein shake on the way to the gym???

I am on my last week of Chalene Extreme. I will start over next week. Love this program! Have seen GREAT results. On the off or "rest" days I do cardio. Usually one of the Turbo Fire DVD's. I have been thinking about the Brazilian But Lift or Hip Hop Abs though....I think all the jumping in Turbo Fire is getting to my…

I agree, all about the weights! I read this thread and could relate to it all! I started lifting HEAVY about 3months ago, what a difference! I also started to follow the Paleo diet. I feel better now approaching 41 than I have in years! You really need to pay attention to what you eat, look at food as fuel...good fuel,…

I saw this site and considered it........how quick and easy are the meals? I am up at 4:30 AM, work 40+ hours....kids, ect. I don't have time to do a lot of prep work.

Love TF! I do my own hybrid now of TF and Chalene Extreme. Both are great programs and I have seen fantastic results!! Anyone call feel free to add me. Good luck to you all

I am thinking of doing another round myself. I have seen good results with round one.....I might look into the delux dvds too

For me, I get up at 4:30 AM before anyone else in my house and use an hour to get my workout done.

Once you do it a few times, you will be a pro!

I made a spinach, chicken mushroom skillet meal that was quick and easy! 2 lb chicken breast cut into chunks, 1/2 bag frozen spinach, 8 oz fresh mushrooms slices, as much garlic as you like. Heat either coconut or olive oil, add garlic and spinach, cook about 3-4 min and add chicken. When chicken is almost done, add…

Look up be your own gym.....could be helpful. I do deadlifts, squats, bowler lunges.....see if you can get Chalene Extreme with free weights from 10-30....bet that would be all you may need.

I tried it for a couple weeks. Decided to do the whole CLE program first, and then I will go back to the Janelle Hybrid. I get up at 4:30--but need to be at work by 7 so I only have so much time to work out at that hour!

I am up at 4:30 AM. I workout at home, I either do Turbo Fire or Chalene Extreme. If I don't do it first thing in the morning, I tend to find a bunch of excuses.........

I didn't know how the cupcake liners would work....they do ok?

Great job! True inspiration!!

Thank you! I will try on of those on my next batch!

I am hoping to start Paleo in Sept. I am a bit concerned about the fat in the meats, I imagine it is about quality more than anything? Sure I can have bacon, but it must need to be lean and uncured? I am still researching and reading things on line. I figure I can probably find most of what I need out there w/o having to…

I appreciate your concern. I have a hard time fiitting in 6 days myself! I agree that one the days it is a short HIIT add in one of the strength or tone DVD's. I believe you will see great results no matter what! To go from no exercise to TF 5 days a week--impossible you won't do well.

Great results!

I cook my squash in the microwave with a couple apples. Add some cinnamon when they are done and mash together. Yummy!

Going from $25--to a pair of Lucky Brand (which I LOVE) may be a shock! Go to lots of places and try a bunch of different styles on, jeans shopping is hard no matter what size you are!!! I like the ones at Banana Republic too.

I make a white wine spritzer. put a couple ice cubes in a wine glass, fill half way with your favorite white wine and add club soda and a lime. I love it!

I don't always log my beer/wine intake. I should and I know this, but I don't.

I think most adhere to the schedule as it is. Chalene being the pro--she created for some reason right? I am not good at sticking to it however. Somedays I don't have time for a 55 min workout........so I sort of mix it up when I need to. I have had good results, but maybe not as good as those who follow it the way Chalene…

I am going with the Hybrid. I think CLX will be awesome, but the hybrid even better. I need both the cardio and strength. Besides, TF is just plain FUN, don't want to miss out!

Great!!! Keep it up, I think you look amazing

I found the calculations in the book to be high
