HEY GUESS WHAT!! I won an ebay auction for a turbo fire set! The amazing/ironic thing? The only thing missing from the set (why I got it so cheap- $40 AFTER shipping!!) is the Fire 45 dvd and the calendar. THE FIRE 45 DVD! That's the one I got off ebay for $10 and have been so obessed with for the last few weeks! I'm so…

okay thanks!

http://www.workout-calendar.com/turbo-fire-workout-calendar/ I bet this is the calendar thing that's missing, right?

I've been doing turbo jam and michelle dozios (similar ideas of exercise. cardio kick boxing with dance-y stuff mixed in) and I LOOVEEE it. I've never fully committed myself to one program... I'm ebaying for a used set of turbo fire dvds right now! It's meant to be.... I got the fire 45 dvd a few weeks ago for $10 on ebay…
-
nice! I've only got one turbo fire dvd (the fire 45) but have been ebaying for a used full set. For the last two weeks I've been exercising 5 days a week doing turbo fire/turbo jam/ michelle dozios an hour a day. Start weight 153.5 Current weight 151.5 I'm eating 1800-1900 a day and I'm 5'2" with an active job. I'm hoping…

HEY! REPLIES!! LOL. Glad to have the opnions!!! I'm still deciding whether to get any of the HIIT dvds. I actually enjoy a longer workout. Looks like I'll need to check out the EZ 45! I saw that one on ebay a few times. People are finally getting smart on there and selling the dvds individually to make more money! I've…

Ooo that depends on the TYPE of exercise you enjoy. Personally I'm a cardio kick boing type of freak- I've got tons of different versions of that; a few from Michelle Dozios, a few from Billy Blanks, a few from Chalene Johnson (turbo jam/ turbo fire). Maybe try some youtube videos and figure out what you enjoy? Some people…

the cold air doesn't bother my breathing but it definitely affects my face/fingers and legs. I don't enjoy running when it's below 40 degrees Fahrenheit so I just simply don't do it more than once a week and only a few miles (just to keep my stamina up a little more than if I stopped all together). Lots of people continue…

I don't know what the pounds conversion of stones is... but I'm shorter, 5'2" and 150ish pounds right now and mine are 38-30-40. People are always like "no way! You don't look 150lbs!" when I tell them my weight, never been called a "liar" though!
-
Ditto on this idea- you have to find something you enjoy doing and change up your workouts. Anything will get bored if you do it long enough. I go through cycles of running constantly, to not running at all, I LOVE cardio kick boxing type aerobics dvds so I've got a half dozen of those and a number of other dvds. Do you…

Hello! I just joined this group recently too. Doesn't seem too active :o( sad!
-
I agree. Nuts are totally boring. I have to have mixes to keep it interesting enough for me. Here's my favorite: http://www.walmart.com/ip/10801070?adid=22222222227010342374&wmlspartner=wlpa&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=18143851870&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem expensive to buy that brand though, easy to make the same mix yourself!
-
Ditto! Maybe try a turbo jam dvd? Like ^^ said, it's slower and is an EXCELLENT intro to turbo fire because it has a lot of the same moves!! I <3 my turbo jam dvds. Not as high of a burn/ intense of a workout but they're just a blast to do! It made the transition easy though having already mastered those.
-
Those sound like doable goals, good luck! (don't do TOO much cardio though. Turbo fire and running all in one day sounds like a lot!) P.S. I LOVE YOUR MOTIVATION! LOL. That's an awesome idea!
-
WOW! Big difference around your mid section! Nice dedication!
-
WOOHOO! That's awesome!!

Another vote for Couch to 5k! It really does work when you stick to the plan and be consistent with it! I did it back in March 2012 and went from someone that kinda hated running and got out of breath instantly to someone that can run regularly now- still not a distance runner and don't really want to be- but I enjoy…
-
I wear a BMF too, personally I don't do the "3500 cals a week = 1 pound lost" rule because my body never follows that rule when I do it. I took an average of my burns from the bmf and took away a 20-25% deficit. I jsut started this last week, but i DID have a little scale whoosh today so I'm going to take that as a good…
-
Ditto! Great isn't it? It's so nice when ladies finally see the light a realize eating 1200 cals is not healthy or sustainable! Your body needs fuel to lose that fat!
-
dtto! When you raise your calories I vote for NOT eating exercise calories back- just set your diary manually to a stagnant amount. Calculate your TDEE- if you're doing a reset, set your diary to that amount (2000 for example). This will build your exercise calories into the week- meaning you'll be "eating them back" over…
-
^^ not eating enough!! Eat a few hundred calories a day more and your body will thank you!
-
sounds like we're about at the same place! I'm also 5'2". I've been maintianing for most of the last year eating anywhere from 2200 to 2600 cals a day (and therefore fixed my metabolism, yay!) but I'm ready to start losing again. To start (as of last week) I'm trying a goal of 1800-1900 a day and will give that 6 weeks,…
-
BAHAHAHAHAHA! LOVE!
-
Yeah I've always been told the same- your body takes like 4-6 weeks to adjust to any change in diet or exercise routine, so be consistent with the calorie amount and types of exercise for a 6 week period, then you can assess whether your calorie amount is working or not.
-
I always workut at home or go running- I hate gyms. I agree with figuring out what types of workout dvds you like the most and then getting a good variety. I've got a good dozen workout dvds to choose from so that I don't get bored. I like cardio kickboxing dvds, jillian michaels, michele dozois, turbo jam/fire. You just…

When running I breathe for 3-4 footfalls in, 3-4 footfalls out. I read it in one of the fitness or running magazines- works great! Keeps the breathing at a nice even pace. Oh yea- what heybales said too; yoga type breathing is excellent.
-
Seriuosly? Some of you ladies are eating way too little. I'm 5'2" and my weight ranges between 150-154 and have been maintaining my weight since early last year on anywhere between 2000 (no workout, sedentary weekend day) to 2400-2800 on workdays (Medical Assistant at a busy clinic, lots of walking) depending on whether I…

recently I've been a big fan of adding a container of greek yogurt to canned soup. It makes it super creamy and yummy without altering the flavor a ton, and adds a bunch of protein! My favorite for adding is fage 2%! (doesn't hurt that this is the EASIEST MEAL EVER!) I used to add cheese to up the creaminess, but the…
-
i <3 instagram. thanks!
-
wow. I can't believe this topic is still going! BTW my opinion IS SO 180 DEGREES DIFFERENT than it was back on the second page of this when I posted over a year ago, I regularly maintain on 2200-2600 cals a day. Which means when I was losing I was eating 1800-2000. Eating 1200 a day is unnecessary and harmful in the…
