Mine is 9/11. I am 185ish right now hoping to be down to 150 by then. Totally doable, I think!

Yep, that would be me as well! Turning 40 in September and really want to get this weight off so that I can feel fabulous! Lost about 35 pounds a while back and gained it all back. So now it is time to get my butt in gear and do this! Can't wait to get started!

This is absolutely amazing. I relate so much to all of this in so many ways. Thank you for putting into words something that I so needed to here right now!

I am going to be starting my 4th round of CLX on Monday. I would love to post here for accountability with you guys. This is such an amazing program. I have tried others but keep coming back to this one. I have since gained back all the weight I lost so I am basically starting over, but I know I will get great results…

Looks like I have been a member since 11/08/11, which is the day the group was created. I have done 3 rounds of CLX and am about to do my fourth starting Monday. I love this program!

I am starting tomorrow as well! Summer is getting way too close and I have way too much fat on this body right now to even consider getting in a bathing suit! Feel free to add me if you like :flowerforyou: Tracy

Just out of curiosity how much did you gain? One thing you have to remember is that doing a program like this anytime you have muscle soreness your body is holding on to water to repair your muscles. So if it was only a few pounds that is what I would attribute it to. While I was doing this program I ate somewhere around…

When I did this program I saw a steady decrease in weight every week but I added in extra cardio. I was doing the 3 strength training workouts a week, 3 steady state cardio sessions and 3 HIIT workouts a week. It helped me lose 26lbs and 27" in 12 weeks. Going to be starting this program again as soon as I get my new…

I am going to be starting CLX as soon as I get my new SelectTech weights. I have a set that I used before but they only went up to 25lbs and I was holding back on some of the exercises for fear I would max out my weights and not be able to advance any higher (I know that sounds kind of silly but my thinking is a little…

This workout should be fine for you. There is basically no impact on your knees at all. There are squats and they use the bar for some stretches and if you don't have any issues there you should be good to go!

Great job! You look wonderful! Tracy

Keep at it! This program is amazing! My first round I did a couple years ago I lost 24 lbs and 25 inches. Most of the results come in the last phase so don't feel discouraged with slow results as first. Tracy

Amen, Sister! By the time I am done with a set (this is my second round) my butt feels like it was going to explode! LOL

Just finished Burn 1 and downed a protein shake. My legs feel like jello! I went heavy enough on all the exercises except maybe the posterior fly's. I lift metal tubing all day at work (nothing heavy but very repetitive) so that must have helped that area! How did you ladies do today? Tracy

Hi! I am starting tomorrow as well (but I guess you already knew that from another thread :smile: ). What are you planning on doing for cardio? Are you planning on continuing on with TF for your cardio or are you going to do the cardio that came with CLX? Just curious. I am planning on doing the cardio that came with CLX…

I am planning on starting Monday as well. Would love to have some accountability buddies to go through this with! This will be my second round. The first time I did the program was 2 years ago and I had great results. I lost 25 pounds and 24 inches all over. I have since gained back most of the weight that I lost but I am…

Checking in from a little town in southwestern Pa called New Alexandria! :bigsmile:

Hi! I have done CLX and I can confirm that there is NO PLYO in the lifting routines. It should be fine for your knees. There are squats and lunges but nothing out of the ordinary. I had great results with these workouts, but just be aware that the biggest results come in the phase 3, the Lean Phase. So don't get…

Just got the book yesterday and plan to read it this weekend and start Monday. Add me if you like. Good luck to you! Tracy

Can I just say that you are truly amazing! I am about to hit it hard again come January and this is just what I needed to see to help me realize that I can do this. It used to be all or nothing attitude for me, but I have to realize that I can do this and not deprive myself of the things in life that I enjoy! Thank you so…

You can add me too!

Hi, everyone! I am started the Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire Hybrid tomorrow. Can't wait. I have been waiting for a good time to start and decided that now is better than later. Good luck to you all! Tracy

I did a hybrid of CLX and Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire about a year and a half ago. I would do CLX M,W,F and a turbo workout T, Th, Sat. and I had good results. What really started to shred the fat on me was when I added a 15 to 20 minute HIIT workout after CLX on Monday and Friday. I did stick to the 1500 to 1600 calorie…

While I have many Beachbody programs I think my favorite is Chalean Extreme. I am currently waiting for RevAbs to arrive and can't wait to do a round of that. I really need to work on my core. After having 4 kids it is all out of whack...lol. I will be starting this program as soon as it arrives and I have read all of the…

Hi Kat! I plan on starting Chalean Extreme as soon as my shoulder issue clears up. I am hoping that will be by Monday. I have done CX one other time in the spring of 2011 and had amazing results! I am hoping to get the same type of results since I have gained back most of the weight that I lost mostly because I just got…

You have no idea how much I needed to read this right now! I am in the same boat as you and it kills me to know that last year at this time I was about 20 pounds lighter :sad: . I am not back up to my starting weight (thank God) but I am within 20 pounds of it. I am in desperate need of someone to kick me in the *kitten*…

Hi, Ladies! I am starting this Monday! I have 4 kids and work full time so life is CRAZY!!! Good luck to you all! Tracy

My best guess would be that you are losing fat, but your muscles are retaining water from the exercise. Once you get used to the exercise the water weight will subside and you will start to see the scale go down. Hope that helps!

I have done TF and worn a HRM. I typically burn 10kcal/minute. They are so much fun and if you loved Turbo Jam you will love Turbo Fire for sure!

I wouldn't consider that to be over training at all. Last summer I did CXL M,W,F with a HIIT workout M & F after CLX and then did regular TF workouts T, Th, Sat. It did wonders for my body. I am actually going to start doing that again as I have gained back about 20 pounds from my lowest weight last summer...:sad: You can…
