I just finished Piyo and lost 8.2 lbs and 14" total since starting the program on July 7th. I did nothing else but Piyo. I will be starting the Piyo Strength program on Monday and I will be incorporating some Turbo Fire HIIT workouts and a couple of Body Beast workouts in addition to Piyo. Piyo is just what I needed after…

Have a fun time at the event Vini. I'm sure you'll look gorgeous no matter what you wear! It's rare for me to be on mfp on my laptop hence the reason I haven't been checking in. I so wish we can access the message boards on our phones. Oh well. I'm loving Body Beast. I missed 2 workouts last week so I'm re doing Week 2…

Hi Lucy, So good to hear from you. Pipe burst? OMG. I'm going through that right now (not at my house) but at my mother's house. She's been staying at her sister's ( a few blocks away) cuz Dementia was kicking in for her oldest sis and was trying to take care of her. Anyway, when we had that deep freeze last…

You need to update your app to the current ios7 system then you will be able to get that awesome "like" button!!

Hello ladies! I've started a new schedule...going through some changes, reevaluating some of my life's decisions. I am now studying to retake my certification exam for Surgical Tech. It's what I used to do before I had the kids. So, for the past 2 days I've been striving for the 5:00am workout. I've been snoozing a lot and…

Hi Vini! Glad to see you back Connie! I have only worked out once this month of December. Sooo sad. 2 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Vertigo. The meds help and I haven't worked out since. I remember I was doing Core 20 and Stretch 40. Halfway into Core 20, when the floor work started, I had terrible dizziness and had to…

Hi again, I'm changing up my exercise routine again and will be concentrating on doing more weight training instead of cardio. I won't do a certain program but I will be mixing it up. I'll still be doing 6 days with rest day on Sunday. I will be doing Body Beast & P90X on my heavy lifting days and on my light days I will…

Good to hear from you Lucy! I think it's a great idea to to do a challenge together. Disney was awesome. We only spent one day at Epcot and the other day at Universal Studios. Then my kids took surfing lessons at Cocoa Beach. It was very hard for me coming back to the cold weather. When we left for Disney, our Fall colors…

No, you should really use Fire 30. It has a couple of fire drills in there. Fire 45 EZ has no fire drills and is used during a recovery week only.

Hello ladies, I haven't been logging in my diaries. My exercises are sporadic. I've been redoing week 6 of TF and now starting Week 2 of Hip Hop Abs. I gave up on Rockin Body cuz it was just too easy and simple for me. My body is now used to Shakeology. No more headaches. Hope all is well with you guys! Take care and keep…

Day 2 of Rockin Body and I'm bored. I did Party Express, it was a 30 minute warm up for me and I continued on to Fire 30 & Sculpt 30. IDK about this Rockin Body, it's very basic and low impact OR I'm a turbo machine, IDK? Lucy, is HHA more upbeat? I'll give this RB a week and just try HHA next week. I will say that the…

Good morning ladies! I stepped on the scale and the number went back up to what it was when I first started on MFP last November. This is what a week of no exercise and very unhealthy eating did to me. It motivated me to move my body this morning. So, I did Shaun T's Rockin' Body: Mark Move & Groove, it's a 15 minute intro…

There should be a "New to Class" option that you can choose on the Fire cd's. She walks you through everything first slowly and you can still get a workout from doing that. Also, don't expect a high burn on those HIIT's, you're doing them for a much shorter time than those longer Fire classes. The HIIT's emphasize more on…

Hi friends! I had a very lazy week after a very good week. I'm back up on the scale again and will redo Week 5 of Turbo Fire tomorrow. I think it's hormonal cuz I know what the right things is to do and I end up doing the lazy thing...sitting on the couch watching tv in my workout clothes and gymshoes on and I have a…

Hello my friends, I was supposed to start the Medical Assistant program today and I've been pondering and been given a swift kick in the bootie to not concentrate on a new class but to get all my credentials updated. I used to be a Surgical Tech before I had the kids so I'm concentrating my efforts on that path again. I…

I have restarted as well. Week 2 starts today!

Hi everyone! I logged my horrific day of eating today. 1st time for me to log my food in awhile now. I need to keep myself accountable. I gained 3 lbs in the past 2 weeks. This early meno I'm going through is really putting my hormones out of whack. I get all the symptoms of a period (esp the PMS'ing and eating everything…

Hi Vini and everyone else! I really dislike that I can't access the message board on my phone. So, here I am on the laptop on mfp...1st time in a long time. I have been logging in on mfp but I have not been logging in my food diary and I haven't been pressing play that much either. This month of August is flying by so…

Hey all, I just wanted to end this month by saying that I'm still alive...just not kicking it or anything. I pressed play once while on vacay and I haven't pressed play since I've been home. I've gained weight. My number is more than what I was when I first started in November. I'm just trying to find motivation again....

Hi friends, I have not been logging in my food diary entries. My weight has crept back up to my starting weight. I need to rethink strategies to avoid my boredoms and laziness in exercising and junk food snacks. I know what the right thing is to do and I have been making poor decisions. I will be going out of town from…

I hope you all had a fun holiday! Well, I can say that last week, I only pressed "play" just once in the whole week. I'm still trying to find motivation and trying to organize myself. I really NEED to do it in the morning before the kids get up. So, that's my goal this week. Go to bed early so I can wake up early and be…

Hi ladies! I love the "July" topic idea. I haven't really been exercising religiously as I was last winter. I try to follow a week but it's just not happening. daily. So, I do what I feel like that day. The only thing that I can report is that my fave SIL is in from Vegas. I haven't seen her since last Christmas and both…

I know it's different for everybody, but my scale started to move in the right direction during weeks 5 - 8. Keep at it Try not to focus on that "number on the scale". I know it's hard but the inches lost are more impt than the pounds lost. Good luck!

Hi butterfly! You have amazing results. I attempted the 20 week and at week 14 I hit a plateau and got frustrated. So, now I'm doing a TF/P90X hybrid. I so agree with you that the new schedule is missing out on the Upper 20, Lower 20 and Stretch 40. I have no clue why they had to change the schedule. I'm so glad I have the…

You have the new schedule.

I have the OLD schedule. PUrchased last Nov 2012 when the whole set + advanced dvds were only $53.00.

If any of you have the advanced TF dvd's, Abs 10 is way better than Ab Ripper X. Only 10 minutes and works your whole ab area way more than ARX. It took me awhile to get used to Stretch 40, that's more like Yoga. I learned to appreciate it more the further I got into TF. I love love P90x Stretch. An hour of heaven!

I don't like the bands either. I only use hand weights for both Sculpt 30 and Tone 30. I agree with you, it's so ackward and I wasn't feeling challenged either. You're not alone!

I take, or actually I should be taking Provera to bring about my period. That's the only med that will work. I hate how I feel when I'm on it. It upsets my stomach even if I eat something with it. I feel groggy and very sluggish. I just want to be lazy and not work out. It's the worst feeling! I hate taking it because…
