  • @april, exercise definitely hep when TOM's around, but I always find it extra hard to find the motivation to exercise. I usually have to caffeine up! @Monie- I love HIIT 25 and HIIT 30! I can't wait til they come back into the schedule! Last night was nice :smile: My brother came over for the evening. We watched movies,…
  • Hello ladies! I took an extra rest day yesterday, I didn't get home til about 8pm. Today though I got week 6 day 1 done! Fire 55ez :smile:
  • Got my workout done! Fire 45- check! I had a lot of fun doing it and burned 430 calories :smile: Now for TV time.
  • @ Raven, I only lost about 2 pounds in the first month, but my pictures showed changes I hadn't realized were happening, so hopefully you'll see the same! (hope you took pictures or measurements at least!)
  • ^^ ooo, great point. My burns are totally similar to when I ran outside.
  • i'm your height and a couple of pounds heavier- in very good cardio shape (ran regularly most of last year) and I burn around 350-450 a day with turbofire- 55ez I burn 450-500 depending on how into it I am. I wear a Bodymedia fit and have for the last year- and I totally trust the numbers. Your hrm is underestimating! Does…
  • I have an older set of the dvds (got mine off ebay) so I have the 11 or whatever dvds (with 45ez and NOT fire 40), but my package also has the advanced dvds, and I never got a schedule because it was a used set and the person lost it- so, I found a few versions. Here's a 20 week schedule that includes the advanced dvds…
  • @monie- fire 45's my favorite too! I got that dvd a month before I got the whole set, so I had done it a number of times and already fallen in love with it, but even now after having tried most of the dvds I still love that one best. Boom I got your boyfriend gets me pumped too! LOL. Such a horrible song, but it's so…
  • <=== And I decided to go back to one of my favorite comparison shots. :smile: Me in 2008 at my heaviest and me a last summer when I was about the weight I've gotten back to now (before christmas gain).
  • dym- a polar, what a fun toy! I had wanted one for a long time, but then ultimately decided to spend the money on the bodymedia fit. Have fun! cnlargent- sounds like you're doing great at listening to your body. :smile: junebug- I never did the firestarter because I had already been doing turbojam for so long, good to know…
  • cnlargent- I'm a medical assistant in a head and neck specialty clinic on a big hospital. The clinic's HUGE and I spend my day rooming patients, cleaning exam rooms, sterilizing endoscopes, calling patients, returning faxes, coordinating special exams, assisting with procedures. I'm up out of my chair about 75% of the week…
  • I was running a few times a week up until December. it got too cold and wet here and it became miserable to me to run out there (learned I'm definitely not a cold weather/ rainy weather runner. hate it.). I plan to pick it back up in April though. I'm thinking just swap a regular Fire day for a run? Should be a similar…
  • congrats! You'll have a blast! I'm already in week 5 of my 20 week schedule that includes the advanced dvds so I can't do it along with you- but come join the chat thread! Plenty of ladies to talk to every day over there about the workouts.
  • IMO (as a fellow uncoordinated non-dancer) keep going! Who cares if you look silly and aren't doing the moves perfectly, you're stil burning calories. That's the most important thing and you'll catch onto the moves as you go. There are similar moves in all of the routines, just mixed up differently, so it's not as an…
  • I like having my rest day on a weekday and then exercising through the weekend to keep my TDEE up a little. I'm super active at work all week and then super sedentary on the weekends (except for exercise) and recently, was notified my schedule on Wednesday's starting the week of the 18th will be going until 5pm, which…
  • @monie, I felt the same way the first time I did sculpt 30! After a few weeks of it in the mix now I love it and have moved on to using my handweights instead of the cord. Felt kinda awkward to me, I prefer the dumbbells :smile: @slroggeman- yeah I'd skip the sculpt 30 if your elbow's not ok. Just do extra cardio and don't…
  • @Vini- posted my one month pics a couple of days ago here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/911012-first-4-weeks-done-down-2lbs-and-2-1-2-inches-pics :smile: Got my workout done, woohoo! Had a lot of fun too, I was really into it. Today was 45ez- love that one! Burned 435 calories. Now to couch potato for awhile…
  • ok, sounds good. I was just curious :smile:
  • POLL: Who thinks we should just have a chat thread without dates attached? Like a Chat thread in the group that'll just roll over when we fill it....? Or is it more attractive to new people to see a current date attached and smaller thread/ less to "catch up on"/ to not feel like you're jumping into someone's conversation?
  • http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912679-weekly-chat-thread-mon-3-4-to-sun-3-10 new thread!
  • butterfly- I agree with monie, your thighs and butt have definitely seen some change! :smile: Did fire 30 and Sculpt 30 today! I haven't done fire 30 since the first week of TF, forgot how fun and HARD it is!
  • Yes but you're down an inch on your waist! That's awesome! Keeping up ab muscle tone is hard work, you're doing amazing!
  • thanks!! My waist and gut have had the biggest changes for sure. Hoping this next 4 weeks will show more changes in my thighs and butt!
  • I did fire 55ez today and burned a big 470 cals, woohoo!
  • did you do just the regular program? If so, you should get the advanced dvds and do that schedule, with more weight during the routines that use cords. I started using my handweights instead of the cords to up he weght resistance. Nice work!!
  • http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/911012-first-4-weeks-done-down-2lbs-and-2-1-2-inches-pics?page=1 ^^ posted in the main TF group with my progress pics!
  • Fire 45, done!! with 15 mins total extra warmup and cooldown from another dvd to equal an hour's workout I burned 450 calories, wooooO! Bad news, my period started OUT OF LEFT FEILD today. Totally threw me off, it's a week early! I'm notorious for water retention and bloat, so my 30 day progress pics will wait until TOM is…
  • WOohoo, congrats!! Very exciting to get through that first week and know you CAN do it!
  • my favorite song's "boom I got your boyfriend"! I love that routine and even though that song isn't somehting I'd normally listen to it makes that routine extra fun :smile:
  • Did HIIT 25,Core 20 and Stretch 10 today. I wasn't feeling it though, so I didn't even break a 300 burn! LOL. Oh well. Tomorrow's Fire 45, one of my favorites!!
