Feel free to friend me :) Im on week 8, and lost 15 lbs total (9 of which are just when I started logging on MFP), and 5.5 inches

anyone else in week 8?

Thanks! its not where I want it to be yet and to maintain, but I figure if I got it this far in only 4 months, I should be able to keep pushing and be *really* bikini ready by summer!

My friend is reall pumped for COMBAT. Im scared haha. I figure let me finish TF, move onto Chalean Xtreme, then Insanity. Than *maybe* just *maybe* move to combat.

I do 20 reps for each side and 3 sets as many days as I can fit it in.

I have free weights already but havnt used them much since in TF you use resistance bands, and trust me they do make you hurt haha. But I feel i dont use them often enough. I am following TF's class schedule, trying to see my results. I was getting better muscle when I did the 30 DS. Once I "finish" TF I am going to order…

I started with the 30 DS that is what you see from July to August. I started TF on the day I took the August photos. I am 5'6" . I had no intentions on my # being such a low number. I was focusing more on the fat percentage leaving my body. It just so happend that eating clean and working out had the number drop too. I was…

Lunges, and squats should target the thighs and glutes right? I do them, but maybe I should be doing more rounds each day. Suggestions?

True North's almond, cashew, and pecan nut clusters. Organic sugar (barely) and a whole lot of yumminess. ETA . It has a bit more sugar than that, but honestly for a "treat" you shouldnt deprive yourself because its a moderation thing. If you should happen to fall off the wagon, you dont want to binge because you havnt had…

Thanks ladies ! that helps.

Ok, well with no responses I set out with much frustration (due to not finding what I needed until of course 10 stores later). I thought I should write my experiences and what I DID find. I tried on almost every crosstrainer the stores had. Seriousely. I also tried on some "running" shoes that have little traction that…

>>>>>

I also want to know what is best to eat after an intense workout to help that muscle rebuilding :)

I just started day 1 of week 1 yesterday. Today I will be getting at HIIT 15 and Stretch 10.

Polar f7. Love it! works great and was cheaper than other polars. its like 89 on amazon.

Thanks! I am determined! I know it will take time but you have inspired me too!

Awesome job!

Thanks! I swear pear shaped bodies are so difficult because you are trying to target the largest group of muscles. Because it is the largest, it takes longer too. It will totally pay off though. Im not there yet. Like I mentioned, I still have a long way to go, but it feels good to know i am doing "something"

Not planning on it! I am done. I am ready to just be lean and tone it up! Im no longer concerned about the number. I am concerned about inches and MUSCLE! I want to be strong and fit!

I have a HUGE sweet tooth too. I eat lots of sweet fruits throughout the day to cut the sweet tooth during my most active times. I actually dont even think about it unless I give my daugthers' a graham cracker or animal cookie or something. I bit my tongue, stuff a few grapes in my mouth and Im satisfied. The BIGGEST thing…

I think I love it so much because its SO fun!

In addition to Turbo Fire, I want to incorporate something at home to help even further with my lower body (butt, thighs and calves). Any suggestions to help with those specific areas? Or will certain workouts in TF target those areas too?

I have been doing turbo jam for over a month now. I just got Turbo Fire delivered today and will start monday. Side note I also take Turbo Kick classes. THOSE I LOVE even more. Its so fun to try to one up your classmates.

thanks! I am pumped.

Great thanks ! I eat pretty clean now. Not perfect of course. Trying to do things "right" I am VERY excited, albeit intimidated too ;) I am WOMAN , hear me ROAR ! ETA: I am 117.6 (in the morning) and 5'6" . Good bit of middle section and lower body "flub" (2 kids!) but hardly any in upper body. for those inquiring.

Good points. I dont feel I need her permission. I was more curious about the electronics possibly getting ruined. It DOES work for me, and I suppose I should keep doing what I am doing for that fact alone. It just was like a little jab that hurt like saying "im better than you"

This class makes ME want to become a TK instructor! I need to work my butt off and work my way up to it. (I have only been doing it for a little over 5 weeks now)... but my plan is when BOTH my kids are in school (I only have 1 going to kindergarten this year and the other is only 2) to be a fully certified TK instructor!.
