Done both- I had better success with Turbofire (way better success- lost 25 lbs and many inches). I also found turbofire easier on my joints, easier to follow (I am rhythmic movement impaired), and a more comprehensive exercise program- almost like having my own personal trainer in my living room.

Bring it on!!

ME!! Still 188 after 3 months- though my clothes fit WAY better, my belly fat has indeed shrunk and my bum is sitting a little higher ;)

I wear ORCA brand compression tights and Danskins yoga pants or just plain old dollar general jogging pants. If I do not feel like squeezing into my Orcas- I wear a tights (again from walmart) and baggy sweats/gym pants. It does help in the post- pain area to "control" the quake/jiggle.

Me! I was doing pretty good but now every time I run more than 25-30 mins I pay for it for DAYS. I have the good shoes, got specialty orthotics from the podiatrist, I ice my shins, take advil religiously- Still have to take 2-3 days off after every run. What has seemed to help me deal with the pain and recover quicker is…

I'm on week 7 of my running journey and am battling pretty painful shin splints- at first I was just "sore" now I'm battling pain that even ibuprofen will no take away. So here is what I'm doing- shortening my gait, watching my running posture, shortened my distance, Ice after running, take ibuprofen twice a day, I changed…

This forum is not the appropriate place to get nutritional advice for him- you....yes.... him....no..... please have his doctor refer you to a Registered Dietitian. These consults are covered by most insurance plans and are excellent resources- not just for the initial consult, but also to offer continued support long term.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.... I never had a pannis until after my c-sect- and I had children before the section. It has gotten smaller with overall weight loss- but frustratingly...still there. :(

My HRM is consistently telling me I have burned 50-100 calories MORE than MFP. I go with the lower value to document- I would rather underestimate, than overestimate.

The above suggestions are all really great advice. For me- it was controlling my breathing instead of letting my breathing control me- I was gasping, side stitches, feeling like I was going to pass out, spitting and sputtering..... It was not because I was working too hard- it was because I was not taking control of my…

LOL! I run a 14 minute mile and could not be any PROUDER of myself!! I may be slow, but I am out there doing it!!

I am definitely no expert or health nut but I personally ice/take advil-if I still hurt where it is impacting my ability to walk/climb stairs, then I rest. If those measures relieve my pain- I keep going. I do believe in no pain/no gain. I feel like if I am working hard enough, I should be having pain/soreness that I can…

you need the set- Turbofire has a schedule that comes with the DVD's or you can download it from the Official Turbofire site- you just follow what DVD the schedule tells you to do- it could not be simpler! I love my turbofire- you really work up a sweat but it is still not insanely difficult for the newbie- I love that I…

I'm about 60 lbs overweight and am running my first 5K on APRIL 20th- just started running a month ago- and already able to jog 4 miles- keep it up, you can do it!!

Congrats on your success and motivation! I am not doing C25K specifically but am following my own plan exactly structured like it- I am at the beginning of week 4 and have found my running legs!! Yay! I am very slow (running a 15 minute mile) but sustaining a 4 mile jog every other day. We have a 5K in my local area for…

Hi! Congrats on trying- that is one of the biggest steps!! I was also very out of shape and weighing in at 190- Week 1 was "OK"- week 2 and 3 were BRUTAL!! Shin/calf/ and quads pain- I had a hard time walking, climbing steps- almost quit. I iced my legs several times a day and after running- lived on ibuprofen (advil)- I…

walk- walk everywhere... take the steps, skip the elevators. Park in the farthest lot and walk to class. Jog across campus. Put on a pedometer and get those 10,000 steps in! Good luck!

I have personally found that I cannot eat back my exercise calories. I personally need to keep my gross caloric intake at 1200 with my net less than that or I lose no weight. I'm not sure why- though i suspect that either I am overestimating my burn or underestimating my calories consumed.
