Hi! I'm on week 3...feel free to add me, new CLX friends are always welcome! :flowerforyou:

HUGE thanks for posting this. My thighs are on the chunky side, even though I've reached goal weight... i HATE them. You have given me hope that then CAN be improved!! :flowerforyou: I'm doing ChaLEAN extreme btw.

Claire, i am so unbelievably proud of you. It has been a pleasure to share your journey and witness your amazing transformation. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and it makes me so happy to see you sharing your achievements, it means that you know you have excelled... Sometimes we forget to congratulate…

Hello and welcome to BR! it's a little on the quiet side in here right now, but i hope the info on the threads are useful to you on your journey! congratulations on your progress so far - and here's to more of the same!

Hey Sam! Welcome to the group! Wow! You have already made such amazing progress! Here's to more of the same! :drinker:

Here's the main C3 thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/829620-phase-3-cardio-3

No, i didn't create this myself - it was posed on a forum online.

Yes! I blogged it here so i wouldn't lose it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/a_new_dawn/view/chalean-extreme-clx-focus-t25-hybrid-schedule-for-my-own-reference-555995

Sometimes relying just on the scale is not a good enough gauge of progress. You need to measure and look for visible changes too. BF% is also a good gauge but it's tricky to do at home with calipers and scales are not so accurate. There are lots of calculators online that can help you determine how many calories you should…

Hope this is the one you wanted - Ingredients 1/2 cup unsalted almonds, toasted (I explain how below) 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest (or just add a tad more lemon juice) 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (my husband doesn't like rosemary, so I substituted…

Phase 3 is when it gets serious!! - Especially Cardio 3. Just do what you can, modify when needed and build upon it. You are showing up for your workouts, that's all that matters... all we can do is our best!

My favourite is also Mimi, i think she has lovely proportions - small waist but nicely shaped hips..she's not as "blocky" as Jillian in the mid-section.

It's all about those inches girl! try not to let the scale discourage you, it can often deceive! As you lose fat it is replaced with muscle. Pound for pound muscle takes up less space so you may see little change on the scale but you will become smaller and more toned. A gain can be normal and is perfectly acceptable too…

I was torn between doing a TF/CLX hybrid or T25/CLX hybrid! I went with TF purely because it was more "fun" and i was already 7 weeks into my TF schedule. I plan to do T25 next. LOVE speed 1.0!

The two programs are combined, giving you the best of both programs for extra fun, variety and a great combination of strength/cardio/resistance and stretch. there are a few different schedules online, the Janelle one seems to be really popular but i am going with the original Beachbody one as in general, the workouts only…

Hey guys! welcome! Yeah, it is kinda quiet lately Rita... i guess every is out enjoying the sunshine!!

I am no expert, but i would say BR would be better for weight loss as it has more cardio in the schedule. CLX is mainly strength which is better for reducing BF%, building muscle and "toning". I have learnt that a reduction in body fat % and reduction in weight are two very different things, and don't always go hand in…

Lol, i have heard her say many funny things! I like it when she mocks herself for saying something silly, rather than just having it cut from the video. i love her comment about having sex with the lights on.. I use it as one of my inspirations on my profile! i find it funny when she threatens to beat some of the other…

OK... Pre- Body Revolution i was between a UK10 and UK 12 pants size. It was quite frustrating because 10's were a little too tight for comfort for me, but 12's had begun to gape. I was hoping that BR would help me skim an inch or two off and help me get into my 10's but even after completing the full 90 days they were…

Here's the reply i received from MFP: Olivia wrote: JUL 12, 2013 | 04:19PM PDT Dear Dawn, Thank you for participating in our community! Unfortunately we don't currently have the functionality to combine groups. This is an interesting suggestion however and we will consider it for future improvements. Have a lovely weekend.…

I'd go with the 50/50 theory too... If it is 30/70 i don't think i'm ever going to get a 6 pack! :laugh: I did read that a 6 pack isn't achievable by everyone though, regardless of their diet and exercise...

I've emailed MFP regarding the merge of both groups, i will let you know when they reply.

You need to get your pictures hosted online... i use photobucket. The site will generate some codes, you need the one that begins and ends with IMG - you copy and paste this into your post and change IMG (uppercase) to img (lowercase).

I'm actually 7 weeks into a 20 week Turbofire schedule but got my T25 on Monday. I just HAVE to test run all of the workouts because it looks FAB.. so far I've done Alpha Cardio and Speed 1.0... LOVED speed 1.0! I wasn't a fan of insanity, i got to day 17 before moving onto Body revolution (which i completed), but i'm…

Yes! I have heard this so many times but have still failed to eliminate all the "bad" stuff from my diet - i shouldn't use it as an excuse but my ,lifestyle and budget makes is hard to eat as clean as i'd like to, but i do try to limit things when i can. Here's a link with some great info:…

I'm happy to combine as long as other members are....We can all be one big happy BR family! I'm not sure how the merge would happen though..? P.S. A group name can be edited.

I didn't realise there was an "old" and "new" schedule until I noticed one of my TF friends logging a "low HIIT" session...I don't have this workout. I am doing the "Advanced" 20 week schedule.

I'm on week 5! LOVE TF! It's so much fun!!! Feel free to add x

How about yoga meltdown? It will help your with flexibility and it will give you some extra stretches which will help with sore muscles from your main BR workout? Jillian's yoga is power yoga routine, so you get a higher burn than a traditional yoga session.

Good work ladies! Keep those workouts coming!
