It depends if you like cardio more or strength more. I have both programs and am doing the hybrid schedule, which I think is the perfect compromise.

I think it really depends on how much you have to lose. Your ticker says 34 pounds, so I seriously doubt the practicality of trying to lose 25 by Christmas. The less you have to lose, the longer it takes. Sorry to be a downer, but I don't want you to have unrealistic expectations.

I had my alarm set for 6:30 so I could go run, but I woke up at 5. After no success in falling back to sleep, I got up, did CLX Push 3 and then ran. It's now 7:30 and I've burned over 1000 calories. I've got to admit, there's something to be said for waking up early.

I've lost 67 pounds and have never once set foot in a gym. I'm all about the workout DVDs, c25k, my bike, and long walks.

Good for you!

He's freaked out for no reason one other time. I made a joke about how I needed a child size bike because I'm so short and he literally walked out of the store, found a ride home, and didn't talk to me for two days. I'm over it. If his wants are more important than my needs (and clearly they are), I don't need to put up…

Dang, girl! You're killing it!

Deadlifts for hamstrings and sumo squats for inner thighs.

Push circuit is supposed to use heavier weights than Burn. I'm using 10-15 for upper (depending on what muscle we're working) and 25 for lower.

I'm doing the hybrid program, so the motivation comes partly from it switching up so often (I don't get bored) and the fact that I'm seeing results. As for a snack, I almost always have a protein shake right after.

Because this site is set up with a deficiency in place already, anything you burn is a bonus and meant to be eaten. However, there's no law about it. I dip into them if I'm hungry. If I'm not, I don't.

Bumping so I can make it when I buy pumpkin :smile:

8.5 this week.

I just made mine with a box of cake mix, a can of diet soda and a couple egg whites. Frosting was ff Cool Whip. You can do it with any flavor combo of cake and soda you want.

Rest day and I've got a headache. Nice. I'm into week 5, though, which is where CLX switches from Burn to Push..I'm digging the heavier weights so far. The only sad thing about month 2 is that Fire 45 is only on the schedule twice.

My Sister's Keeper, just because of the ending; the rest was good. (Side note, they're turning another Jodi Picoult novel into a movie and this one follows the book..I just can't remember which book.) Also, I didn't like the movie version of Harlan Coben's Tell No One. However, I liked the movie versions of Precious and…

He looks just like my golden (whose name, by the way, is Jacob Dylan). I've had dogs my whole life and I know what you're feeling right now. It's the absolute worst. I'm so sorry :frown:

I like the Biggest Loser DVDs where Bob is the trainer. Also, Bob's Inside Out Method, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, ChaLEAN Extreme, and Insanity are good.

Vitamin C and sweat. Seriously, get in a good cardio workout; it always makes me feel better.

You can modify TurboFire so you never have to jump. I'm in love with TurboFire and I pretty much think everyone should try it :smile:

I finished week 4 of the hybrid schedule yesterday, so this morning I wanted to check in (weight/measurements) to see my progress. I lost 5.5 inches, but gained a pound. I'm led to believe this pound is muscle because A) my scale tells me how many lbs of fat I have and that number stayed the same, and B) you normally don't…

I'd just log it under yoga unless you're wearing a HRM to get an accurate number.

Lol..love it! Johnny C for life!

I name mine usually based on color. The first one was Big Red (because it was a tiny '87 Nissan Pulsar). Then I had a powder blue Chevy Aveo named Homer (because Homer Simpson had a powder blue crayon stuck in his brain), and now I have an olive green Cube named Frank because it looks like an Army tank..Frank the Tank.

I'm doing the hybrid, too. Last day of week 4 today and loving it. Anyone else doing one, the other, or both feel free to add me, as well.

TurboFire's Fire 45 workout is my absolute favorite.

I've got my favorite workout on deck today..Fire 45! Yay! Lol..my legs are a tad sore from running last night, but I don't care. Also, today is my last day of week 4 of the hybrid! Double yay!

I just sent this picture to my bf in the hopes that we can turn my bike into a unicorn.

Are you going to eat that salad dry? The Greek dressing is another 300+ calories.

You need to have at least one rest day. Also, try upping your calories. Your body is probably tired from the lack of rest and maybe even tired of doing the same things all the time. Do you do this at a gym? Maybe try a class. If not, get on Amazon (or even go to your library) and try out a new DVD. Just switch it up.
