  • I mix up Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam Fat Blaster. I started out with the original Turbo Jam and got bored because it didn't have much cardio in it. Turbo Jam Fat Blaster has more and I also got TF so I mix it up; I don't follow any of the set schedules. I do cardio most days and do strength training 2 days a week. I got the…
  • I've never gotten into this show but I know people love it. I don't really want to be bullied into getting fit but I guess it works for some. I loved Extreme Makeover - Weight Loss Edition because of it's encouraging nature but there was still accountability. I miss that show!
  • Don't be afraid! You've lost 30 lbs so keep it up. It was actually a photo at the airport when leaving for a missions trip to Nicaragua August 2012 that prompted me to say, "enough is enough!" Someone took a group photo at the airport the day we left and then of course there were a few photos that captured me while on the…
  • Change!
  • I agree with the folks who have replied that this is either a joke or gee, I'm at a loss for words too. If it's a joke, it's not funny. There are those of us on this site who are serious about making a difference in our health and you are taking up space.
  • Just remember that you aren't where you started, you are better and a month from now you'll be even better. Steady she goes. I was that way at first; I wanted to see those results! Now 31 lbs lost and still going strong, I can look back and be very, very proud of how far I've come. I will be at it until next spring/summer…
  • All my size 20 and 18 and 1X pants are on the way to the thrift shop, which is where I'm buying clothes for now. Have only bought one pair of brand new pants because the sale plus coupon was too good to pass up. But I, too, realize I won't wear these size 16's very long either so I don't want to waste the money. I just…
  • I agree with those saying just go for it, not all the time of course and maybe leave off the fries? Actually what is probably worse than the calories in those sandwiches is the sodium. It is terrible. I love CFA original sandwiches and if you pay a little extra you can get a wheat bun and save some calories. Drink water…
  • I can only tell you what is working for me. I started out doing the Turbo Fire/Chalean Ext hybrid which does not involve cardio. While I found my body getting smaller, the scales moved very, very little. At 200+ lbs, the scales needed to move. I know I paid too much attention to them, but my 55 yr old 5'4" body had no…
  • I used to do Billy Blanks' kickboxing and still have the VHS tapes!! Considering donating them to a thrift store in town. If you were in N.C. I'd give them to you!!
  • I started out with the original Turbo Jam borrowed from my Beachbody coach sister-in-law to make sure I liked it. I love Chalene Johnson and Turbo Jam. I got very bored with the gym so I dropped it. I got used to Turbo Jam and wanted more so I bought Turbo Jam Fat Blaster and love it. I then bought Turbo Fire (described by…
  • Congratulations on stopping smoking. You should be so proud of yourself for that. It is a huge step. Lay down one thing at a time. God is so faithful and He will honor what you are trying to do in making yourself healthier. We are spirit, soul and body. At 55 years of age I have suddenly come to the time that losing weight…
  • Absolutely DO NOT throw in the towel. I am an "older woman" at 55 and I have lost 25 lbs, averaging 1.5 - 2 lbs loss per week. I'm using MFP to compute calories and Chalene Johnson's Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire for morning workouts. I just weighed this morning and this week was only a 1.2 lb loss but I'm not sweating…
  • After quitting my local gym out of boredom, I turned to my Beachbody coach sister-in-law and had many discussions with her. I borrowed her Turbo Jam and have loved it. I'm working my way out of it so I have just ordered Turbo Jam Fat Burning Elite and look forward to starting that. I have also borrowed her Turbo Fire…
  • I too am on this journey of new lifestyle and I too am experiencing willpower and determination that only God can give. My weight loss each week is less than yours but going in the right direction! I am also interested in how many calories you eat a day. Thanks for sharing your fabulous story. To God Be The Glory!!
