A typical day for me looks like this... breakfast: 1c. Honey Nut Cheerios w. 1c. FF milk snack: orange lunch: 1c. stonyfield FF french vanilla yogurt w. 2Tbsp Skippy Natural PB or a garden sald w. feta or mozzarella and 1Tbsp(ea) EVOO & Balsamic Vinegar snack: Luna Bar or the yogurt/PB (if I didn't have it for lunch)…

21 weeks and I use the elliptical 3x/week and Chalean Extreme (weights) 3x/week. I also work my abs 5 days (planks, stability ball crunches and various side bends).

They may seem pretty light but they are not light for me. Yes the 8/12 reps get lighter and that's why I add more reps but the 6 reps I'm struggling my that 6th rep. I also do push ups but I didn't mention because there is no dumbells involved.

bump... Fantastic job ladies :smokin:

YOU ARE MY TWIN!!! I feel like I just wrote this exactly...

I would love to join her next challenge but I think she may kick me out :) This will be my second challenge and I'm still not giving it 100%. The first 2 weeks my thinking I have this then I get so confident that it crashes on me :\ If she lets me in then yes I'm in. How about you?

Intrigued... Have you done this? How much weight did you lose? Is it easy to adapt to your lifestyle or is it just going to be another fab diet? TY!

i have been tweaking it a bit and found that I feel best eating 1500 calories/day. When I stuck to that then I was always down on the scale but still holding onto those final lbs. I'm going to try what you did and switch it to 0.5lb lose/week and eat only half (if even that) of my exercise calories. Hopefully that'll get…

Awesome results!!! I would be happy with losing 2in from my waist and 3inches from my pooch. That would be too unrealistic for insanity. I'd love to see your final pics when you complete the program. Good luck!

bump...anyone else?

I haven't even started Insanity and found that while doing TurboFire I'm happiest at 1500 calories/day. I get moody if I'm much below that and I'm bloated/full if I eat higher than that. I'm sure I'll need at least that or may be even 1600-1700 for Insanity. Not sure thought?!

Thanks ladies. Bumping for anyone else

Hi and Welcome: I've been around for a bit but I'm not as active on the board as I should be. I am 30yrs old, 5'3", 129.75lbs (hey every ounce counts :wink: ) and also very busy with my 2 toddlers and working full time. Congrats on school :happy: Yesterday I started Chalean Extreme/Turbofire Hybrid and loggin in my food. I…

bump - anyone want to share their experience?

haha...I like "we're cheating" We have guys on the team too so I don't think they'll like the best friend sorority :ohwell:

Full time working mother of 2 boys (2.9yrs & 18months). I never made time for myself. I was always down on myself because of my extra weight. I saw pictures of myself from a friends party and I almost died. I knew right then and there that "I" had to do something and no one else could do it for me. I told myself that I…

I'm on Week7 Day2. So far I love Turbo Fire and I've been toning up. The scale stays within a 2lbs range but I'm trying not to go by the scale. I took Day 1 and Day 30 pictures. I highly recommend. I didn't think I was losing anything and then when I compared the pictures I saw that I look more toned. Keep at it…

I've been slacking :sad: Sunday: Rest Monday: Fire 55 (TurboFire), Lower Body Weights & Abs Tuesday: Fire 30/Sculpt 30 (TurboFire) & Walk (about 2hrs) Wednesday: Fire 45 (TurboFire), Upper Body Weight & Abs Thursday: Rest Friday: Lower Body Weights & Abs Saturday: Rest I took too many rest days from the program I'm doing.…

Valerie: Charlene (Turbo Fire) said in one of her discussions that when you hit a plateau that is your body telling you it needs rest. She suggests taking a week off and jumping right back into things. I know someone who recently was stuck at there weight. It killed them to take this advice but they did it and viola the…

kblue2007: congrats on your successful week :smile: Once a week Turbo Fire does Stretch 40 which is yoga. I cursed the DVD up and down and swore that I hated yoga. To my surprise I LOVE it :love: I did yoga before but I just might not have liked the type of yoga I was doing. Anyway stretch it girl :bigsmile: I thought I…

Thank you. Glad to be here :bigsmile:

Hi All: Thank you for letting me jump aboard. Today is my day 1 with this challenge so I'm a bit behind. I'm sure I failed every challenge for this week but I'll put everything into high gear come Monday :wink: I'm 29yrs old, married, mother of 2 little boys (2.8yrs & 17mnths). I'm looking to lose the last 10lbs and I can…

bump I know the group is closed but I was hoping to follow your journey. I will be participating on my own :)

I'm a little shy with posting pictures...I'm a working progress still have a ways to go :embarassed:

Weights it is! I actually prefer weights over cardio anyway.

OMG...I thought I was the only one. So embarrassing! I am guilty and do not do Kegals but I think I will be from now on.

You look amazing and I agree that you look to be in your 20s :smile: Love the dresses...especially the first one. If you don't mind...we're it from?
