This is awesome! I cannot wait to get back into my 12s. I am in 14/16 depending on style..uggh

I am in very same boat with you MC, did everything right this week. Also, I started Turbo Fire so possibly this has something to do with it too. I know weight can fluctuate when it's "that time" but, I gained 4 lbs!!! Worried about my calorie goals but, I am going to try and get past this in hopes that it is the MC. If you…

Just realized I did the wrong workout yesterday. Whoops! It was supposed to be HIIT 15, but I did Fire45- oh well. I am taking tonight as a rest day, was going to go with a weekend day but, today is it for this week at least. TOM has me run down. Think tomorrow will be better, though. Will make sure I follow the schedule…

Okay, here goes: Chest: 42 Waist: 38 Hips: 47 Biceps: 14.5 Quads: 27 Calfs: 16.5 Rounded up on Biceps, quads and calves. My left side on all three are always slightly smaller than the right, yet my left foot is always bigger than right-go figure- I need a V8!

SW 195 LW - 185 CW - 189 GW. - 130 So completely annoyed by this! It is TOM but, really? 4 lbs? Uggh. Thought I did really well this week with all the workouts. I am contemplating not eating so many of my calories back from working out. Great job everyone! I will post my measurements. @Slimbyten- I hear you on the…

Excellent. I just started Mon with TF and this group. Congrats on the one month. Love this site in general and group is very helpful. Many successes..makes this so motivating. Welcome!

Yes this is how I feel. Not sure yet on Fri, Sat, Sun yet. Thank you.

Does anyone do a different rest day than Wed? Not sure if it makes a difference with the way the program is set up?

Just did my second workout..Fire45...love it! Burned 379 with the 10. Being still new, thought this was good. Sweat my butt off...always do when it's a Chalene workout...love it. Once I repeat the routines a couple times through, I will be great. TJ was awesome stepping stone to this.

Sounds good. I will post this in addition to weight tomorrow, thanks!

W#4 - Weekly Goal: 2500 Mon: 201 cals (Turbo Fire - Just started today first workout) Tues: 379 (Turbo Fire Fire45) Wed: Thurs: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 580 Left to go: 1920 Last week was good. This week I want to do better. I am going to stick with at least 6 days this week. Hoping to hit 2500 this week.

Bump. Sorry...I just reread..first Wed of every month sounds good. :)

I have my measurements on mfp but haven't checked awhile, it's prob a good idea, though. Should we post on the weekly weigh and update every couple weeks? Not sure if every week would be noticeable...

@vini - this is the encouragement I need so thank you! I agree. Will take getting used to and almost didn't start because I didn't think I could handle it. I changed my mind when I did a run through of the first video (just watching it first). I know the others are much more intense..but I think this is what I need. When I…

Hi, new to TF and started 1st day today. This Wed. will end my TJ group that I had been doing for six weeks so, TF is going to kick me up a notch (I am sure). The moves are very similar so, I am glad that I started with TJ. It is a little tough to get used to the quickness but, I know I can do it. I have done Combat in the…

I will! I just started today-Day 1. The 11th is my birthday so easy enough to remember..lol

Today was day one for me! I had done the Fire 30 once before but, excited to have at least started. I have done TJ for the past 6 weeks so this is what I need to kick myself into high gear. Congrats on day 3!

Yes, it is confusing...the nursing home part - my grandmother is 90 and not in a nursing home and ate a pound of bacon every day that she shared with my grandfather...She works part time at a nursing home and does all her own laundry and cooking. She has surpassed my grandfather and has done this all on her own....I guess…

Nope. Health is important. I can't say I don't care what I look like but, I would rather be healthy and the most unattractive person than be unhealthy and be gorgeous. Certainly not vanity for me. Both my parents are morbidly obese---do not want to be like them. As mentioned, you don't know the junk I ate before coming…

Agreed. You can't go the rest of your life without eating something that is not quite perfect. If this is your mindset, you are setting yourself up for failure. Not many can eat perfectly clean 100% of the time. I have been here before and gained all the weight back and this is why I am here. Good luck!

My son hit me with a golf club on the backswing when he was six. I blacked out briefly saw stars. He broke my nose, broke my cheekbone, I lost all feeling on left side of face including no feeling in teeth. There were bone fragments in my nerves. Almost had to have reconstructive surgery but, ended up getting feeling back.…

bump

you are a strong inspiring young woman! Keep up the excellent work-amazing. :)

I hope to be in your shoes in about 90 days! So excited to start TF next week. Thinking of joining one of the groups specifically for TF. This is helpful to know. I have gone crazy before with trying to eat cleanly and this time I am going to definitely try to eat less processed and more healthy but, I am not going to go…

I just purchased and did one workout. Please as being on officially starting next week. Those of you that had great success..this US awesome! Did you use Chalene's diet guidelines or just eat healthy doing your own thing. Great jobs.

This is awesome. I have all ingredients except for the van ice cream whey isolate. Where do I find this or did you just put powder in and ice cream?

8 lbs is possible and healthy. I may not be able to do it but, I will shoot for it sure! I'm in! Good luck. 3/1 - 185 lbs. 3/8 - 3/15 - 3/22 - 3/29 -

Meal planning always helps me. Going to cook up a bunch of food for week and right it down then log as I go each day. The people here are very motivating. I always like to look at the success stories and think that I can get there too! You can do anything you put your put your mind to and if you really want it, it will be…
