You can absolutely see a difference! Great job!! Keep it up! :)

Good job! The small steps are the ones that make a big difference! Giving up chips is hard. I substitute red bell pepper strips with hummus to help satisfy that crunch. I've also found that sweet potato chips taste good and are good for you!

Find something you love and go with it! I tried a number of different cardio exercises until I found that I love doing kickboxing. If you find something that you truly enjoy doing, it is much easier to do! I also love to lift weights. Take pictures every 30 days and record your measurements, seeing those changes will also…

Thank you everyone, your kind words really mean a lot! I'm always happy to help with new snack ideas, tips and tricks. Send me a friend request and I will do what I can to help!

Your body needs carbs, that's what gives you energy!! While I don't restrict them, I am mindful of what type of carbs I eat. Stick to whole grains, oatmeal, etc. Those are "good" carbs that are easier to burn off.

Way to go! You look great!

Hello! Good for you for jumping back on the wagon. You can do this!!! This is a great place to stay motivated. I've lost 92 lbs over the course of 3 years, so yes it can be done! Start by watching your portions and track everything you eat. Watch your sugar intake and stick to whole grains, lean protein. Try to eat 5-6…

I can only add pictures to my profile, as my work has photobucket, etc blocked. I've lost a total of 92 lbs since 2008!

You look great!!! Good job! :)

I'm on my second go-round of a CE and TF hybrid. I started TF first and loved it, but missed lifting weights. I switched to CE and loved the weight lifting, but felt I got a better cardio workout with TF. I guess it really depends what your goal is. If you are more into building muscle I would go with CE. If you are…

I'm on week 2 day 4. The first cardio interval about kills me. Two minutes in the plank position doing in/outs and mountain climbers. Ouch!!

W1D4 for me! My hamstrings have been hurting since day 1! I also purchased Bob Harper's Pure Burn Strength. Has anyone tried that one? I heard the 1 hour exercise is a killer, might try that one on Saturday!

Thanks! I have been coveting the SelectTech weights for awhile now. I've been stalking them on Amazon and just saw they have lowered to $329 with free shipping! I might have to go ahead and pull the trigger..

I'm in the second week of the Push phase and I love it! Another ditto for heavy weights. I prefer dumbells over resistance bands, but that's just my preference. I'm sure you would still get good results with the bands, I just like lifting free weights. As Chalene says "go heavy or go home!" I am using 25-30 lbs for my…

I make a really good smoothie using plain greek yogurt (Fage or Chobani 0%). 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use EAS) 2-3 tbsp plain 0% greek yogurt 1 tsp (or no more than 1 tbsp) of almond or sun butter 6 frozen banana slices 5-6 oz of water Blend and enjoy!

Ahem...Turbo Fire...=) I think you will love that! It's a combo of Turbo Jam with HIIT and Plyo to boot. I will be happy to send you one of my dvd's to try if you want, just let me know!

My favorite is sunflower butter.

I am currently on my 3rd week of a Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid, and I love it. Just like the poster said above, Chalene is a great motivator/instructor. Turbo Fire is a kick a** cardio program, but it is fun! Just when you think you couldn't possibly move another step, she is right there telling you that "you aren't…

I have been on a turkey kick lately. Sometimes I use whole wheat bread, other times I'll use a whole wheat tortilla and will fill it with lettuce, tomato and avocado. I love the Sabras hummus individual packs (2oz each). I will cut up a cucumber and red bell pepper to go along with that. Also love sunflower butter with…

I am on week two and I love it! I also do Turbo Fire and have created my own hybrid program. For those of you doing CE, what size weights are you using? I would love to invest in the Selecttech 552's, but I'll have to save back for awhile. For my back and legs I'm using 15's. For shoulders I alternate 8's and 10's, same…

I love it and the music is great! The Fire45 class is by far my favorite, gets me moving every time!

I have it and love it! No matter which class I do, I'm in a full sweat within 7 minutes! I followed the calendar for a few weeks, but now I'm kinda on my own schedule, as I have incorporated strength training as well. Chalene is an awesome motivator. The music is great and the more you do it the better you get, which means…

Why hello there. ;) Do you have a laptop? Could you bring that with you and play the dvd's on that? When we went to Florida last year, I brought a resistance band with me instead of weights. I seriously contemplated lugging my dumbells with me, then the logical part of my brain kicked in. lol.

I am on week 4 of Turbo Fire and I love it! I have done Turbo Jam, but this surpasses it by far. There is a schedule that you follow, and comes with a 12 week calendar. It is a bit hard on the knees and ankles, but with the proper warm up and form, you should be ok. The music is great, Chalene is great and it makes you…
