Wheels - If you are going by the calorie intake that MFP has set up for you then your calorie deficit it already built in. So you should eat at least some of your calories back to make sure you are getting enough nourishment to fuel your body. Just be careful eating all of your exercise calories back if you are using the…

Couldn't agree more!

So does this essentially mean that you only have to workout 4 days a week? Just trying to clarify...I am a busy mom of 4 and work full time so working out only 4 days a week would be awesome for me? Also how do you split the strength workouts for the 4 days? Sorry I have so many questions... Tracy

Well I am not exactly sure how to post pictures but if you look at my profile I have my CLX results in there. The picture of me with the bikini in the dressing room is from about week 7 and the one with the purple wall in the background (don't mind my daughter's messy room...lol) is week 12. I did Turbo fire for my cardio…

I am starting my 3rd round on Monday! Can't wait to get back into this workout. I have had results from this program like I never have with any other workout. I have been doing various other things for the past year and had dismal results. So it is time to go back to the one thing that I know works for me. Good luck to all…

Awesome! That is when I am going to be starting. I have done 2 rounds of CLX already so I am super excited to get round 3 started. My first round was not that great. Lost some inches but my diet was out of control. 2nd round got my eating in order and lost 24lbs and 25 inches. I have been doing various other workouts in…

Well done! You look wonderful!

When I am feeling really down I get out old pictures of myself to remind me how far I have come. Also to remind myself that I will never look that way again! It is hard to not get down on yourself from time to time especially when progress seems sooo slow. Just remember it will take time. You didn't put it on overnight it…

SIMON!!! You have done an amazing job! You motivate me every day! Thanks for being my MFP pal!!!!

I had a much better week! I was under my calorie goal every day so far (and that is a miracle for me) and have exercised 4 times this week. It is really nice here today so I am taking my kids to a state park to go swimming for the afternoon! Can't wait to get in a little sun bathing! It is only 38 days until we go on…

Here are my week 2 stats...unfortunately they are the same as my starting stats :sad: Weight 165.4 L Bi - 11.75 R Bi - 12.25 Chest - 41.5 Waist - 33 Hips - 41.5 LT - 22 RT - 22 LC - 14 RC - 14 I am doing much better this week. So far I have stayed under my calorie goal and I have exercised twice. I am doing the Butt Bible.…

I have had a really rough week! Between work stress (thoroughly botched a job for a very important customer so I had to entertain and do damage control Thrusday and Friday) family taking me out for Mother's day dinner and birthday parties and baseball games I did not do well. I did not exercise at all this week or log my…

Here we go!!! Weight 165.4 L Bi - 11.75 R Bi - 12.25 Chest - 41.5 Waist - 33 Hips - 41.5 LT - 22 RT - 21.5 LC - 14 RC - 14 Can't wait to see where this takes me! I am planning on doing Turbo Fire and Pilates 3 times a week. Good luck to all of you! Tracy

I am in!!!!:love:

me too...lol! Really gross if you think about it, but such a great visual!

I am also an emotional eater. I know exactly how you feel. You are stronger than you realize and food is not the answer...it never is. It took me a long time to realize that. A guy should never make you feel like you are less than what you are a strong, beautiful woman deserving of all the happiness in the world. Coming…

I was actually wondering if I could use pump as cardio and not weight training. So if that is the case can I lift heavy 3 days and do pump workouts 3 days a week for cardio?

I love, love, love Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme. I also just started Les Mills PUMP. So far it is AMAZING!!!!

If your muscles are sore go ahead and do your aerobics the activity with actually help your muscles loosen up. If you are feeling "pain" and not just muscle soreness forego the workout for today.

I have done TF and love it! I just recently started Les Mills PUMP from Beachbody and it is amazing. Getting ready to get my workout done for the day and am excited about it!

You look great!!! You have done an amazing job! Congrats! Tracy

Wow! That is awesome! I just bought Les Mills PUMP and am still waiting on it to arrive at my door! I can't wait and seeing these pics makes me even more excited!!! I am going to do PUMP/Turbo Fire to start, but I did get the extra cardio workouts too so I will be using them as well. I hope I have as good of results as you…

I have done Turbo Jam and lost about 20 pounds with it a coupld of years ago and it is sooo much fun! It makes you look forward to working out. I started 30DS and found it rather boring and it killed my knees. I only made throught the first week. I am not discrediting the results you get from 30DS but if a workout isn't…

Hmmm...that's a toughy! I guess I would have to say that I would just suck it up and wear a belt for a couple weeks. Either that or try some different styles of pants. There are some 8's that are big at my waist and others it looks like I am being cut in half. I was very partial to certain brands, but found that there are…

Do you actually have the pole and DVD's. I was wondering if they are worth the cost! This always appealed to me, but there isn't anywhere close to where I live that has these classes. Thanks!

I don't know that they would work so well for me, but if they will give my hubby a body like the one you have he will be doing these starting tomorrow...lol! Too funny, by the way!

I am serious as a heart attack!!! I have been using this site to help me lose weight avidly for almost a year! I log in every day and support my friends! Look forward to getting to know you!

Hi! I am also a mother of 4. I will add you!

Any of you lovely people can add me! I have been on here avidly for a year now and I am not going anywhere any time soon! I love this site and all of the people that inhabit it! Look forward to getting to know you! Tracy

It depends on what your goals are. Chalean Extreme is more strength training and Turbo Fire focuses more on cardio. I have both programs and love them both for different reasons. So if you are looking to build muscle go with Chalean Extreme, if you are looking for a cardio based program then Turbo Fire is the way to go.…
