If you log onto teambeachbody.com then you can see the programmed schedules in WOWY. There is a prep schedule, hybrid with ChaLEAN Extreme, and a full schedule that includes the TF advanced DVDs (Fire 60, Upper/Lower 20, abs 10, HIIT 30). If you don't have ChaLEAN Extreme then I wouldn't recommend the hybrid. But, you…

Does your diet account for your active lifestyle? A sendentary person would eat less than an active person. I'm not familiar with Jenny Craig so I don't know if you count calories or not, but you would want your calorie burn to be more than your calorie consumption.

I started with a smaller breakfast, 300-400 calorie lunch, less than 500 calorie dinner and a few snacks (100-200 calories). Recently I switched to a larger breakfast at about 500-600 calories which keeps me full longer and I don't need an early morning snack. Plus I workout in the morning so I with sleep time and no fuel…

The closer you get to your goal the harder it will be to lose. When I started I lost 9 lbs in 3 weeks. Then I didn't lose much for the next month and only about a pound each week for several weeks. Now I am 1-2 lbs from my goal and the scale flucuates every time I get on it. I don't let that discourage me though. I am…

Have you considered setting smaller goals and then reassessing things once you hit each small goal? I started with a goal of 25-30 lbs since that would get me to a weight I was maintained for a while. But, once I got to that weight I realized I could lose more. I actually never had a final goal of 40-45 lbs lost. It wasn't…

What does your 790 calorie lunch consist of? You may be able to elimate a few high calorie items from that to get you where you need to be. If you can't mix dairy and meat then have a sandwich without the dairy (I love cheese, but I can do without it). Could you manage a 2 minute microwave meal? It doesn't take too long to…

I think a big difference (for me anyway) was when I was fat (yes, I was fat) I was uneducated when it came to nutrition and exercise. I also just overate because food was good, but when I learned that food was fuel for my body I was able to control some of the food issues I had. Learned about calories in vs calories out…

I think the point of this was to say that as long as you have a deficit of calories you will lose weight. Is it heathy to lose weight eating this way? No. You probably wouldn't be able to maintain this weight lose without changing your diet. Burning more calories than you consume will result in weight lose. Counting…

I finally decided to focus on becoming heathy and changing my lifestyle. I didn't cut out my favorite foods, but I did limit them to weekly/monthly/etc. I also found a workout program that I loved. If running isn't for you then don't run... I found a love for TurboFire and have been addicted since the day I started. But, I…

For today I wouldn't force yourself to have exactly 800 calories at dinner. I would get close to that 500-600 maybe and then tomorrow focus on eating more earlier during the day. I don't think that the left over calories from today will have a huge impact on you for just one day just don't make it a habit. I try to limit…

I strength train 3x per week with cardio or yoga/core the other days. I am doing Les Mills PUMP now and love the schedule that comes with the program. Just remember that when you start lifting more that you may be quite sore and retain water so the scale isn't going to be your best friend. Take your measurements for…

I didn't read through the whole tread so I apologize if someone has already mentioned these things. Calorie counting works if you stick with it. Weight Watchers works if you stick with it. Other 'diets' work if you stick with them. The problem with most diets though is that they are temporary. People cut out things that…

My original goal was 25 lbs which I met in about 3-4 months maybe. I surpassed that goal so 30 was next, then 35 since I passed that goal. I lost 37 lbs in about 8 months (Jan-Aug 2011). Now I am at 44 lbs lost. My goal isn't to lose more weight, but to tone up which could mean some weight gain in muscle but a smaller…
