Great job! Keep it up. :)

I had started CLX about 3 weeks ago and got derailed by bronchitis and work...starting over TODAY. Just finished burn circuit 1, which is my least favorite of the 3 burn circuits. I hate those damn posterior flys! Also, I can still not do even ONE measly push-up on my knees. I'm just gonna keep pushing play and have faith…

I am plus size and I did TF the entire month of February and had pitiful results. :-/ I think the reason is I ate too few calories and too much junk. Going to start up again with my own hybrid of TF and CLX to try to get this weight loss going a bit faster. I lost about 9 lbs in January, 3-4 in February, and about 2-3 this…

Hi everyone! Today is day 3 of week one, and since I am modifying the schedule to be only 4/5 days a week, I did Fire 30 and Fire 55EZ today. I feel like I am going to really be sore tomorrow, but I absolutely ADORED 55EZ. It reminded me a lot of my most favorite Turbo Jam workout (punch, kick and jam). Fire 30 is still so…

I use a HRM to log my workouts as custom exercises. Otherwise, you might just want to use the kickboxing exercise.

Chalene says it's good to stretch after your muscles are warm, so I would think right after the workout is best. I have only done it twice and I know I will tire of it soon and may just do my own 5-10 minute stretch on my own right after the workout.

Thanks for the advice! I figure as long as I'm moving, I'll see results, but thought it'd be good to get others' opinions. :)

You look amazing! Great job. Keep it up. :)

You should be so proud! Congrats!

Great job everyone! MFP has some very attractive members. :)

I burn about 400 calories in 45 minutes with Turbo Jam!

You look amazing! Great job.

You look great!

You all are amazing! :)

You look great! Congrats!

I feel like the Zumba and just dance games offer a decent cardio workout while still being fun. You have to really give it your all in order to break a sweat though, but boy is it fun!

I would love to join! Starting week 1, day 1 tomorrow! :) Yay for new beginnings.

Yes. I feel that same way right now. I've been off plan for about a month and have gained back a few (about 3) pounds. I am treating today as may day 1 and trying to go about it more sensibly than I did before. Obsession can only be maintained for so long (as you and I both know), so just take a break if you have to and…

Actually on my way to Zumba class right now. Fantastic workout! I burn about 550-600 calories/hour with the classes/dvds. Enjoy!

It tells you everything you need to know on the watch display and then you just type it in on MFP. How exactly did they screw you over? Sounds like you need to get better acquainted with the features and read the manual.

Yes! It definitely does help. I was stuck in a 3-week yo-yo cycle where I'd lose and gain the same 3 pounds. I did the zig-zagging and lost those 3 plus an additional 4. I am happy! I just basically picked an average I wanted (I chose 1550 calories) and played with my numbers in Excel to come up with my daily targets over…

I understand you have a cheat day, but maybe you need to cut it back to a cheat meal. If it's fast food, they have a ton a sodium in most entrees/food. Even though it's a cheat day, do you still track your calories for it? If you don't, it'd be a great idea. :-) It's likely water weight from sodium or sore muscles, etc.…

Not true at all. And 11 pounds is quite a bit- I am sure the OP is very happy and proud of her accomplishment.

I eat mine. I lose about 3 lbs a week when I do. When I don't, I gain. Bottom line- for me eating my exercise calories works.

Eat the 1320 and you will lose faster. Trust me.

You're gorgeous! I wanna look like that one day. Great job! :-)

You look great! Keep it up and be proud- you're amazing!

Bingo! That's exactly why. :-) If what you're doing is working for you, don't worry about the rest! Best wishes.

Once a week on Saturday mornings!

This is awesome! I am always trying to beat my high scores on this game and this gives me extra motivation!
