I was in the same boat and bought Chalean Extreme because I liked Chalene from her Turbo Jam DVDs. I LOVE it. I have gone through the program several times. I am 39 and a I had already lost over 60 lbs. I got Chalean Extreme when I started maintaining my weight and I went from a size 6/7 to a 3/4 because it tightened…

Also, thank you to those with suggestions of doing more research but he won't do that. If I try to show him something he will think I am trying to discourage him. He lost about 50 lbs before but he was working out of town so I'm not sure what he ate other than canned chicken and celery. However, he gained it all back…

I agree. I am not making things like beans and rice. I am making things like "Chicken,leeks, and linguini" which has 40 g of carbs in a large portion. I think he needs to come up with a realistic number. Now the plan is I will tell him what's for dinner and if he doesn't want that he will get him something else. We'll see…

MelRC117 I agree. I think that's what bothers me so much. He is stuck on eating certain foods without considering portion size and total carbs. For example, he uses unlimited salad dressing which has carbs (some as much as 10 g per serving). He could eat my whole 40g carb dinner instead of the big spoons of peanut butter…

Thanks for all the comments. I told him if my meals do not meet his requirements, he can get his own dinner and I will just cook for me and the kids. He also does not try portion control and is stuck on eating only a few foods (celery, peanut butter, canned chicken ). I don't think he even knows how many carbs he is…

I just started x train fit today and found your post while searching for info on how to log the cardio work out. Did you start a group?

A good high protein low calorie cookie recipe is: 1cup Peanut Butter 1 cup stevia for baking (or sugar but more calories) 1 egg 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp vanilla dash of salt Cream together peanut butter and sugar. Beat in rest of ingredients. Roll into 1 inch balls place on sheet and squish with a fork. Bake at 350* for…

I bake a lot. I sometimes substitute Stevia for baking which cuts the calories way down. Also if you make cookies you can freeze the dough and just bake a few at a time or give the extras away. Cooking Light . com has some great low recipes. I love thier Molasses Banana Oatmeal bread and Oatmeal Cranberry white chocolate…

My body fat is about 19% which I consider pretty low. I can tell that my abs need. to be stronger because I find most ab excersizes quite difficult. The question of whether I can get a six pack or not wasn't really the point of my post. I guess my question should have been What is a good daily ab workout program that won't…

Because of your post I read one of the boxes of my lean cuisines (Santa Fe Beans and Rice. It actually reads like a recipe. The only odd ingredients is potassium cloride which is a natural preservative. As far as soup is concerned it is much less convenient and depending of what kind may contain lots of sodium. Any…

I didnt realize they have Black Friday Deals. I LOVE TurboJam and Chalean Extreme. I would love to get TurboFire.

Meganac69, thank you for the comparison. I was very curious about p90x and how it compares to s90. As far as the cons, I agree the warmup and cooldown are lame. I substitute a 15-30 cardio DVd (like the method boot camp) and a 10 min yoga workout for cooldown from the Daily Yoga app on my smartphone or a pilates dvd.

Thank you to Eekasmouse and some of the others who gave serious comments. I do believe my husband speaks without thinking sometimes. He is very jealous of the attention I get now. I have discussed why I am doing this with him but I think he forgets. My reasons are that I want to be around for a long time for him and our 3…

I got my Supreme 90 Day at Roses which is kinda like Big Lots. I am on Day 77 and I am very happy with my results. My body fat percentage is down to my ideal range and my legs arms and abs are very toned. When I finish I think I am going to start Weider's X-Factor ST which is an 8 week program. I like the structure of…

I like Gala which are inexpensive and easy to find. I also like Jazz and Honeycrisp which are harder to find.

714rah714, thanks for the laugh. Thats pretty funny.

Thank you. I will continue to keep my diary private but will be much more specific in the questions I ask. I never considered some of the points brought up by your replies so I will be more conciouse of that. Thanks again and good luck on your weight loss journey.

My husband keeps saying "When you get skinny, you are gonna leave me." I have to admit it pisses me off but I mostly just ignore him. I think as wives we really have to overlook things they say sometimes. I am sure my husband and yours are just a little jealous and insecur. Tell him like I tell my husband "You hurt my…

canadian bacon or lean ham. Also, scrambled eggs cook well in the microwave.

I was doing cardio 6 times a week and strength training a few times a week also. To fit S90 in I now do 30-45 min cardio as my warmup. The great thing about S90 is most of the workouts are less than 30 min. The longest one is Tabata which is about 45.

I am a little bummed that my weight loss has stalled. I think it is due to starting Supreme 90 workout and gaining muscle. As soon as I find my measuring tape, I will measure myself. Hopefully I will have lost inches. However, considering the kids had a four day weekend and were underfoot during every workout, I think I…

Now-or-never, I recently started the supreme 90 day program which is intense circuit training. I had only been doing cardio before so you might be on to something with the muscles retaining water. I am very sore after my workouts. I am actually measuring and logging my food more carefully than before. I have not lost…

^^^Good idea! I might try that.

Anyone else hate Tabata Inferno? I do. I dont know if it is the repetition or the intensity. Any motivational tips to get through it?

Lol. I cant do the v-up either. I thought I wasnt strong enough but I finally realized I am just scared to put my butt over my head. I think these workouts are really tough. I do cardio for a warmup and yoga or pilates for a cooldown. I think those sections are boring and not long enough. I have stopped lossing weight. I…

I like diet soda and still drink about a glass a day. I dont worry to much about how artificial sweeteners are harmful either. I figure being significantly overweight is the most hazardous thing to my health right now . Also artificial sweeteners have been around for a long time which proves they are not dangerous.

I dont understand why it is hard to get 1200 calories. And yes it is unhealthy to go under 1200 cals a day. Quit eating light versions of anything. Drink a glass of milk or eat beef instead of chicken. Peanut butter, nuts and other proteins are also a good choice. You should also probably take a multi vitamin and cut down…
