Hey everyone! Just checking in before I go do Burn Circuit 3 and some cardio... I think I'll do some Turbo Jam today. I did Burn it off on Wednesday along with Burn 2, holy crap! That was insane! Still struggling with holding onto the heavy weights for the lower body stuff but I can definitely tell that I'm getting…

I don't know about anyone else but from my experiences, machines like that never estimate calories burned accurately. They always estimate WAY too much! My elliptical is ridiculous, I could be on it for 15 minutes and it'll tell me I burned 300 calories. I wish. The best way to figure it out is to buy a heart rate monitor.…

Hallelujah. I'm struggling with that also, I have very little will power no matter how bad I want something.. especially when it comes to losing weight. Its hard to refuse the brownies when your DH is eating them one right after the other right in front of you. :mad: And of course it doesn't affect his weight. So…

Hey everyone! I am starting week 3 of the Burn circuit. I did miss some cardio last week :embarassed: but hopefully I can get it back on track this week. I've really been pushing myself with the weights, and somehow I ended up with one leg really sore and the other not so much... :noway: Hm.... lol. I got myself up to 25…

1. Whats your name? Jenna 2. How old are you? 21 3. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Ireland because I think it would be beautiful! 4. If any color could represent you what color would it be? Purple 5. What would you do with $1,000,000? Pay off school loans, mortgage, buy a new house, and…

I also recommend Turbo Jam... I LOVE all the workouts. Awesome cardio videos but make sure your okay with doing some kickboxing; she intertwines dancing and kickboxing in most of the videos. If your used to doing yoga, it might be a little bit of a transition. The mix of the two techniques is really fun and effective…

Hey everyone! I'm also snowed in again... But I have to admit I don't mind it. :tongue: Although it does make me feel lazy. :yawn: I am on my second week of the Burn phase. I need to do Burn circuit 2 and hopefully some cardio today and since I'm stuck at home I don't really have any excuses! I am just wondering if anyone…

Okay, you guys don't watch Ellen DeGeneres then? HAHA, this thing is for real but idk about its results... Its hilarious to watch though!

Wow this is actually really helpful! I've been doing ChaLean Extreme and am ALWAYS hungry, I think in part to all the muscle building. So its good to know that I can probably bump up my calories a little and still be okay. Thanks!!!!:flowerforyou:

No problem! And I did check and if you add measurements, they will show up in your reports. I don't really like to look at my scary numbers either.... especially when they don't move. :grumble:

I don't know about the reports but I know you can add as many different measurements as you want if you go into your check in and then click on Change Measurements. Hope this helps!

No, you shouldn't pull it as tight as you can but rather just enough that its snug but not squeezing into your skin... Idk if that makes sense but hopefully you get the picture! :laugh:

Hey everyone! I just did Burn circuit 3 and Ab Burner. I've kept up with my workouts this week and I feel awesome! My eating habits are only a tad better this week but I'm working on it. Is it dorky that I got excited about being able to use 10 lbs on my shoulders? Lol! :tongue: I noticed a lot of you are adding other…

Hey everyone, its been quite a while since I've been able to check in... I haven't been doing the greatest but I have newfound motivation... I've decided on Aruba for my honeymoon in October!!!!! AH, me, an island, and a bikini? Right now, that would be a scary sight! LOL, hopefully I can keep up with everyone here so that…

Sorry it takes me so long to get back to you guys! I bought a Heart Rate Monitor to get a better idea of calories I'm burning. It was definitely worth buying because not only is it easier to monitor calories but its a motivator when you look down at it and see how much your actually burning. I'm usually pleasantly…

Hey guys! I am also doing CE! I started on Monday (1-18) and I'm so SORE! I ordered it last year and kind of lost my way for a while but I'm committed this time and I'm going strong. I LOVE Chalene but her cardio is nuts for me! But I burned over 800 calories doing the Burn Intervals last night! :-) I'm not following the…

Me too! I don't even remember the last time I was on here and everything is different! I still won't be able to log in as much as I'd like but I'm getting into a healthier way of life and I like to check in sometimes to motivate myself. So from one person who easily slipped back into bad habits to another, good luck!…

I also LOVE Turbo Jam! I've gotten off the track but I have a lot of her DVD's and I haven't found one that I didn't enjoy. I highly recommend them!!!! Chalene is great too, she keeps you goin just when you think your gonna poop out!

I absolutely HATE cardio!!!! I would rather do three hours of weight training than do fifteen minutes of cardio. I only do it because I spent the money on the videos! Lol. I know how you feel completely. When I don't want to do it anymore or I think, "whats the point, it makes me miserable?" I just find all the things that…

So it's been 3 weeks!!! How are you guys doing? I'm still struggling with the cardio, but I LOVE the weight training!!! Any updates? :flowerforyou:

I have to admit, I didn't try any yet. I've been meaning to... I have to go to the grocery store to get all the stuff first and that never seems to hit me until I get home and have to find something healthy to eat. Lol.. It's just ridiculous. I need to get my butt in gear. :grumble:

I'm doing it too!!! Well, I have to be honest.... I suck at dieting. :embarassed: But I have been doing a lot better with it and sticking to the workouts. I love the weight training, but the cardio kills me! I'm lucky if I get past the first few minutes without pausing it to breathe. :grumble: I hope I get better with that…

My favorite by far is the pepperoni pizza! Not the french bread one, the round pizza. Excellent!

Like they said, its good if you choose sugar free, but personally one usually makes me want more. Lol. Things like that only make me want to eat because there's nothing in it to satisfy me. It's like a teaser! But, like I said, that's just me.

Wow, thanks guys! This really helps, but should I skip a snack earlier in the day in order to make that late snack fit into my calories for the day? I don't want to go too long between eating since that's a no no for the ChaLean program.... I think I'm over analyzing this!!! Sorry! I just don't want to screw up my diet and…

Now, this is probably a question that has been answered 5,000,000 times and I apologize. I just started the ChaLean Extreme program. She wants you to eat 5 times a day and then obviously nothing after supper. But this is my problem. I usually work out after I eat supper because that's about the only time I have to do it. I…

I'm only on week 1 so far but I love this program! I need some heavier weights but I am still SO sore!!!! I've never been this sore in the back of my thighs.. It's awesome! Chalene and her 25 pound weights :noway: .. I'm standing there all sweaty and shaky with my little 5 pounders... LOL But seriously, I really need to…

So I gave in early and ordered ChaLean Extreme! I couldn't wait any longer. I can't wait to get them. I want to be able to get into my clothes again! And hopefully get into a bathing suit without being ashamed of myself this summer! Wish me luck! :bigsmile: Everyone keep me updated on how its going. I'm hoping if I have…

I really want to get this program, but I'm trying to resist. All this Christmas shopping is wiping me out. I hope if I do get it, I will be able to stick to it. Let me know if you guys like it!!!! :happy:

Me too! I really want to get this program. I just wonder how much of a difference it is compared to P90X. It sounds similar, but I love Chalene...I'd have to go with hers. lol... I hope a date comes out soon. I desperately need to get back on track and I think her new program will be very motivating. Can't wait!
