Not sure if this would interest you, but I'm currently in LOVE with the Del's Narragaset Summer Shandy. So light & yummy. Perfect beach/summer beer :) Its 150 cals for 16 oz can & 5% alc

Why not sit down with him and explain how important the family time is to you/the kids- and how you would like for him to join you. And then ask if he would prefer to make it work for breakfast time or dinner. Then let him figure out how to make it work. You can explain your side, but you can't force another person to do…

I'm also curious as to why no Beachbody (also NOT a coach, just love Chalean's workouts). I personally also like Jillian Michaels DVD's. A "cheap" suggestion is go to your local library, see what they have available so you can try it out and see if its a good fit :) Good luck!

CONGRATS on your loss! I'm sorry people are being rude and snarky. It's happened to me as well. I don't post much... BECAUSE theres a clique of know-it-all's that are "experts" in their own heads on this message board and they forgot what the word encouragement means and how everyone has to start somewhere... Congrats on…

I have both. Both will give you a cardio workout and a toning workout ~ ChaLEAN concentrates more on the weights. You will absolutely be able to do it, as YOU choose what amount of weights you use. And you increase the amount/resistance as you see fit. but you also have a cardio workout that comes in the package as part of…

I know how you are feeling right now. its like a gang/bully mentality on here with some. I've posted in the past and got FLAMED ~ some on here are ridiculous and get their high from bullying/being rude to others. Made me stop posting altogether. Which is sad. Think some tend to forget that they started somewhere at the…

Nope- my question was what the healthiest meal replacement shake people use --- as my husbands job doesn't always allow for him to eat a "real" meal- let alone 3.

Thanks so much guys! Shakeology is not an option (I've gotten several emails in regards to It) & adding things isn't really an option unfortunately- as my husband needs a "ready mix" replacement meal (that I'm trying to find that is as healthy & not packed with fake crap) that he can mix quickly & on the go. Thanks for the…

Dont eat them. They have ingredients that I'm not a fan of.

Time your workout to coincide with their snack times. Take them out to a playground, etc first to tire them out a little, then put them in stroller & give them a snack, and get to stepping ;) Tell them that if they behave one way, you'll let them down and let them walk the way back (I did this with my son when he was…

Anyone?

I'm doing chalean extreme --- my heart rate typically is in 140+ (the cardio portions of the workout). Last 3 times I've done this specific workout I've burned 434+ calories--- today it was only to 320. I'm so puzzled by this

wow! I definetly won't have time to do both in one day. I'm impressed by your commitment. Currently I'm doing CE & also a "GET RUNNING" program 3 days a week, and I have a tough time fitting all that in some days (I have 2 young kids that keep me busy). I can only imagine how fit/toned you are. :)

Thanks! And yes I agree... although most wouldn't be thrilled at getting an exercise program from a spouse, I was thrilled :)

t-++t Thanks for your response. I already have CE ~ currently doing it actually. Hence why I was thinking of doing a hybrid (because I don't want to lose the muscle I worked so hard for. But, like you, I missed that crazy pace of a phenomenal cardio program. Good luck!

Since you've done both, would you say that TF has "enough" weight lifting in it? I like Chaleans' workouts but felt like Extreme wasn't "fast" enough for me (I did Insanity 1st, and craved that pace, and CE just doesn't have (for obvious reasons). Thanks for your input

I've been grabbing an apple and one of those 100 calorie packs of almond/walnuts. Keeps me pretty satisfied. Or cut up veggies and hummus.

I'm planning to start the program on the 1st. So excited... anyone else starting around then?

I haven't done TF (yet ~ planning to start April 1st) but I've done Insanity and LOVED IT!!!!!!!! My husband has done P90X, and he likes it, but personally after doing the intensity of Insanity, I can't imagine enjoying p90X. It's def a great workout, but I love the rush of Insanity much more than the sound of Tony Horton…

CONGRATS! I feel the same way ~ I'm doing a similar program (mine is called :Get Running" but same concept. And I just said the same thing to my husband... I went from being so out of breath after a minute, yet yesterday I ran for 25 min straight :) (I'm on week 7) Congrats again! I feel so empowered and so proud of myself…

LOVE THIS!

I also did the 30 day shred before Insanity. Not for any specific reason ~ but I got bored with it quickly (its redundant after a while). I never got bored with insanity, and to be honest, I crave that "craziness" in exercise now! I think you can absolutely do it. All you have to do is try your best. Modify things if you…

SERIOUSLY??? YOU want to make fun of me for having an old picture of a blizzard? interesting! You, of all people, are not one to judge someone else!

Ive dealt quite well with the life I've been handed... thanks! I've actually dealt with immigrating to a new country, loss of my best friend and also loss of a child. So I've dealt with my fair share of real life. Thanks!

Do you use a HRM to calculate calories burned during exercise? Or do you just use the fitbit?

I'm not scared of my food. I choose my food wisely. Thanks for your concern :)

Thanks guys! Appreciate the input. I truly am on my feet moving around (walking) almost non stop from about 9-11:30/12. Not getting winded/working out type of walking, but on my feet nonetheless. and also in the afternoons. Hence not being sure what to put. Thank you again

Hi Thanks! Currently its set to 1 lb per week. I didn't think sedentary was fitting. I truly am on my feet moving around all morning and then again from 3:30 on.
