Welcome! Wishing you much success on your weight loss/get healthy journey. I have been on here for about a year and a half and have found the support has been amazing. Feel free to add. Tara

Yay! Don't think of it as a diet but rather a lifestyle change. Diets never work but making improvements each day will add up and before you know it you have developed healthy habits. Feel free to add me if you want some extra support. Tara

I can identify. Fantastic weight loss. I lost about 30 lbs. and have managed to maintain that loss. Now I am focused on continuing to improve my overall fitness which I know will help me shred inches. I love to support others along the way. I would not have made it without support! Tara

I agree with the above post. It has to be a lifestyle change. Diets never work. It also isn't about depriving but making better choices. Would be happy to help support you along the way. Feel free to friend me. Tara

Welcome! I have used MFP as a great tool to help me lose weight and maintain weight loss. I have built a great support system along the way. Feel free to add. Tara

I log food sometimes but often I don't. I have learned how to eat clean so I tend to log when I feel like I am slipping a bit or if I want to see how I am doing on my macros. I am logging today for that reason. I like to support others in their journey. Tara

Hi Maria! I have been on MFP for about a year and a half and I have found it to be a useful tool in helping me stay accountable. Tips-- build a support system. The pals I met here help me stay on track. Feel free to add me. Tara

Congrats on your newest baby! I am a mom of 5 kids. I also am doing T25 now. I am on week 4 day 2 of alpha. Feel free to add me for added support. I don't have any friends on here doing T25 so it would be nice to have someone who can identify! Tara

I love Chalean Extreme! This was the first program I ever did that I was able to stick with and complete. I lost almost 20 inches and almost 20 lbs with it. That was a year and a half ago. I also did a hybrid of it with Les Mills Combat. Currently I am doing T25 but after that it will either be another round of CLX or…

I have been doing T25 -- less than 30 minutes a day. Great calorie burner!

Hello and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Exciting and stressful time. I would be happy to support you. I have found a lot of support on this site and it has helped me lose and maintain a 30 lb weight loss. Feel free to friend request me. I am always happy to make new pals here. Tara

Hi Becky! Welcome and best wishes on our journey. I have been on here for about a year and a half and developed a group of supportive pals who have helped me in my own journey. I would be happy to support you. Feel free to add me. Tara

I have done Chalean Extreme twice and some of the TurboFire workouts. After Insanity - CLX may seem slow to you. I think the cardio of CLX will seem mild in comparison. 8 lbs. is definitely not enough weight for CLX. Some of the lower body exercises I was using 20 lbs. and could have done more but 20 lbs. was the largest…

Hi- I am Tara and I just turned 40 on Wednesday! Happy to have more friends around the same age. : )

I did CLX from April to June. I lost 18.5 lbs. and 19.5 inches through CLX. I am currently doing TurboFire but may switch to a hybrid of TF and CLX after our trip to the beach in Sept. I really miss the lifting in CLX. My profile pic is my after. My before pic is in my pictures on my profile. Don't be afraid to lift heavy.…

Mom to 5 fabulous kids! Oldest will be 14 in a month and the youngest is 2 and a half. Used them as my excuse for years. Finally had enough and have improved my diet and found an exercise program that works for me! Please feel free to add me! I am always happy to encourage and support my other mom friends! Tara

Welcome! I will add you! It is important to have a great support system! Tara

I am currently doing TurboFire! It is a lot of fun. There are a lot of kicks and punches but it is set to music. I did Chalene's program Chalean Extreme prior to TurboFire. I lost 18.5 lbs and 19.5 inches with Chalean Extreme. I am hoping that TF takes off the last few pounds and that I lost more inches as well. I can't…

Welcome! Feel free to add me for support! I have been here since March and have lost 27 lbs. thanks to the support I get here. Tara

to the left adjust it to the percentage...ie...a quarter cup would be .25 if the serving size is a cup. So you would plug in that you are having .25 servings of one cup of blueberries. Hope that makes sense!

welcome--- I am a SAHM of 5 kids! I joined MFP in March and have lost 27 lbs. because I changed the way I eat, I have found exercise programs that I like and can stick with and also because of the support here.
