Oh Yes!! definitely Lights On and a Mirror!! ^_^ thank you!

ohhh ok ok I didn't know that hehehe Thanks!

what is "commando"? cammouflage colored underwear? military pants?

Since I wear volleyball low-rise 2.5" shorts to work out, I wear victoria's secret PINK's boyshorts. If I wear long form fitting pants, sometimes I do not wear underwear, or PINK's boyshorts.

I can start tomorrow on the first week, Thursday (of the program)? I may do some Turbo Jam and/or abs after the HIIT. If the weather is good I'll start going for a run/jog too! ^_^

Why don't you make your own bread? it's very very easy, and you can make it with spelt (gluten free flour), whole wheat, rye... water, yeast, a tiny bit of salt and... that's it!! I do not like the packaged bread from the stores, and I missed the fresh bakery bread from Europe soooo much that I decided to make my own. I…

there are some salads buffets in Barcelona that are great. as for dressings, they usually have olive oil and vinegar and salt. In ALL restaurants they'll have olive oil and vinegar that you'll have to serve yourself. Ask for grilled (a la brasa/a la plancha) fish and meat. Rabbit and quail meats are usually the best choice…

Anita, I've been doing it for about a month, but did not follow the calendar, the first two weeks I had to add lots from turbo jam to really get tired from the workout. I would like to follow the whole program though, and see the results. When are you going to start it?

Hi yes, sometimes the Turbo Fire 45 or Fire 60 aren't enough. I guess that I'm quite fit under the few extra-pounds I have, or I got used to so much cardio. Bear in mind, however, that I don't do the normal/difficult pull-ups in p90x, and my weights are only of about 5-7 pounds in the toning or normal p90x workouts. I…

Hi! I'm doing it too! combine it with zumba or p90x sometimes.

I would get a HRM (heart rate monitor), it is great; it helps you push yourself a bit harder if you don't work hard enough. *smiles*

Hi be ready to do LOTS of cardio! ^_^ I love Turbo Fire, and you'll see the people there kickin' *kitten*. Besides, I've gained endurance, and it feels great to become more agile. I like to combine Turbo Fire with P90X, since the later helps me with toning a bit more.

I agree up to a point. A 1200 kcal intake for a person who is 5'5" tall is different from someone who is 5'2" (like me). I do not need to eat as much, if I try to eat ALL the kcal I burn when exercising I feel over-stuffed. A person who is 6' and eats 1200 kcal... what then?

I also love Turbo Fire, and you're right, Charlene keeps one motivated, and seeing her give 110% and non-stop chatting is amazing! I'm combining Turbo Fire with some P90X and it is great. BTW Charlene's Turbo ABS 10 is a killer... I usually need 60 minutes of intense cardio to get really tired, and then I usually need to…

If no tuna, what about minced chicken or nuts?

what about a whole wheat rice salad with tuna albacore in water, sliced olives, tomatoes, lettuce, and if you want, a bit of cheese? No dressing needed, sometimes I'd add a tb of olive oil for added flavor. it's a cold dish, but if it's hot there, it will be filling, have protein and fiber. BTW you can substitute the rice…

Today I've had about 1000mg. I do not want to surpass that amount. I feel bloated, and that my body retains more water if I take more than that. I know that 1000 mg is not much, but it is still quite a bit for me... I hardly eat any processed foods, I've had 4 keebler's crackers, and one jalapeño chip (not a bag). This is…

Hi I eat one egg everyday too, I don't have high-cholesterol, but if you do, or if you eat more than one a day, you may want to cook the egg whites, and have only one yolk a day. If you don't want your egg (yolk) to go to waste: Sometimes I save the raw yolk(s) in a small cup or glass and use it/them as a face or hair…

Agree with CoilsKinksCurls. You have to MAKE the time. I never thought I would someday get up at 4.30am in the morning to workout. People think I'm crazy for getting up at 5.30am to get ready and have a huge breakfast slowly. Now, getting up at 4.30 two or 3 times a week to work out gives me energy for the rest of the day.…

Welcome! You'll find many who will help you motivate you, and here in the message boards you'll find lots of advice, and rants heheh It is definitely a good place to be in! Have a great sunny day!

My body doesn't need me to eat the calories burned in exercise. Sometimes it's very hard to reach the minimum of 1200kcal per day!

Welcome! hope you motivate and get motivated by everyone! Surely, seeing others kick b*** makes one want to work harder! ^_^

Yesterday I cheated with cookies and grilled meat (beef and pork!) I am sure it was about 700 and 1000 kcal over daily limit, BUT today I'll catch up with exercise and eating mainly protein. I cannot do a just tea/juice day... or let's say, I don't want to do it :P

When I started toning videos a couple years ago, I did not do any weights at all on the first day. I learned the moves and positions first, and did them without weights. If you do those well, you will be sweating a lot. After 2 years, I'm starting with 7.5 lb weights...

Ohhhh thanks!! I was wondering if it was because it sounds like the Spanish Sí-Yes...

Why the C ?

For breakfast I have 1/4 cup of Fiber One Original cereals, has 0gr of sugar, and more than 25% of the fiber intake. I have had them with yogurt, or by themselves as a snack. Even though it says they have no sugar, I find them very flavorful and kinda sweet...

I visualize myself every morning and everyday and repeat to myself my goal weight. I also have friends here who want to reach the same goal as me, and we log together everyday. We cheer each other and I stay motivated. Getting a bit "competitive" with exercise and in reaching the goal helps a LOT. If I have to cheat, I…

Zumba is fun, you should try it. IMHO many of the moves are VERY ridiculous and stupid that do not much for exercising, but as mentioned by most users here, if you go with friends, or to learn some dancing moves it will be fun. I would never let any of my students see me doing that though... and some of the songs are a…

the very thin crust whole-wheat pizza pizza I make. I barely put any cheese on it, but it tastes delicious... never counted the calories though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGZSWhmH_7Y&feature=fvsr
