Good for you on the great exercise you're doing. So why not save your money and ditch Medifast and spend your money on real food. Use MFP to log food and exercise and track that way, consuming clean, nutritious food? It's a lot more fun and rewarding and I'll bet your body will perform better because you'll be giving it…

no

The 30 min tone/sculpt videos aren't enough for me either so I would just do the Fire 30 first or one of the HIITs and then do the toning. Do what works for you.

This is about you, not them.

Mixing it up with Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Chalean Extreme.

Beachbody: Turbo Jam Fat Blaster, Turbo Fire, Chalean Extreme, Hip Hop Abs, walking/running. I create my own hybrid of all these.

I will use this or similar bars late afternoon before I leave work to hold me until I can get home later in the evening and have my healthy dinner.

My face has slimmed down dramatically. Another interesting loss....my feet!! Yes, I've even had to buy new shoes!! Hadn't really thought about that!

If I have to do a drive-thru I opt for Chick Fil A or the Hardee's turkey burger is pretty good but I try to steer away from the fries. I just can't bring myself to put a fast food hamburger of any kind in my body now after a year of pretty clean eating and Beachbody workouts and satisfying weight loss. But if I decided to…

I had to do what has already been mentioned....go with the fruit flavored to get into it and now I use the Chobani or Fage plain and add my own fruit. If you think "sour cream" while you eat it, you won't look for the sugar because that's almost what it tastes like to me. Fortunately I like sour cream. :) Don't beat…

I love my DVDs 6 mornings a week. Could you pick up a cheap used TV good enough to play DVDs? You wouldn't have to have lots of fancy stuff or cable.

Photos taken during a missions trip finally did it for me!!!

Full strength training ChaLeanExtreme from Beachbody; to also incorporate a nice balance with cardio, Turbo Fire and ChaLean Extreme hybrid.

M-F at 6 a.m. and on weekends it's usually in the afternoons.

AMAZING!! You look like a different person!!! That's part of the point, huh? We change in many ways!! Congrats!!

I have just recently learned something that will sabotage those scales going in the right direction when you are eating right, clean, the right workouts and right amount of calories and it's of course that blasted water retention. But what I've come to realize is that the artificial sweeteners are terrible for water…

Get a shaker cup and put just your protein powder in it and then get cold water from the water fountain at the gym when you're done with your workout. My protein powder can be made with water; doesn't taste as good as unswt almond milk but will work in a pinch.

I know the feeling!! It has been a sad good-bye to some clothes I really loved and now I buy in stages as my size goes down and that's an absolute blast! Not there yet but enjoying the thrift stores. And two thrift stores in town have hit the jackpot with all my bags of clothes!! In fact, the pants I tried to hang onto…

I'm at the same place. I have lost 48 lbs doing Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire cardio, with a little strength training. The weight loss has slowed/stopped and my BB coach says I should be lifting more. So I've started the TF/CXT hybrid at week 5, push phase, and will go to the end. Didn't want to start at week 1 because I've…

Well said. Have a Fabulous Friday Women of God!

I see brightisland on Crystal Coast? Where exactly? LOVE LOVE LOVE Emerald Isle!!!!!

Yes, thrift stores and Goodwill. I have had the same feeling as I came down from larger sizes and while weight is still coming off, I can't get out of 16's, although I've gone from 16W to 16R to 16 petite. I hope I'm almost in a 14 but it's taking so long! Are you exercising? You will see changes more quickly if you do.…

Born, raised, and still living in Greensboro, NC!!

Love the above idea to tell them you have exceptional hearing too and you hope customers don't hear them or they might lose their jobs!

Teenage girls? There ya go, there's the problem. You are the only "you" there is and the only one who matters. You are so much better than that. Their comments aren't worth the breath it took to speak them. You hang in there and live your life. They seem to have a hard time living their own so they have to get in someone…

Home with Chalene---Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam.

I use it in my choc protein almost every morning after my workout; makes it taste like a Reese's Cup. Thanks for this idea, though; hadn't thought about using it as a dip for my afternoon apple snack. Sometimes I use the natural creamy peanut butter but you sure do have to plan on that for the daily calories!!! Thanks!

I've only seen one person mention Cliff Bars. I don't use them for meal replacement but as a mid-morn or mid-afternoon snack. Yes, they have more calories but looking at the label, I feel better about the ingredient list than with some others. I also don't have them every day. Costco sells these in bulk and that's the only…

I no longer need any of this "equipment" but this is the grossest-sounding thing I've ever heard of!!! Blech!

I love all kinds of dried beans, black, pinto, navy, great northern, you name it. I have several recipes for bean salads that include brown rice (I now have fallen in love with black rice) and sweet red peppers, corn, etc. and some use a small amount of oil with spices and one called Southwest Bean Salad (I think it's a…
