Ooo that sounds neat tawnie! I'm a daily weigher also. I actually do a lot better mentally with my weight when I watch the daily fluctuations. That way instead of one week seeing one number, and the next seeing a different higher number I don't freak out, because I've seen the daily fluctuations and understand what's going…

Well, headed out to my car this morning.... no go... battery's dead. It's been doing this off and on with the cold weather since I don't drive it during the week. I bus commute to work, so I don't use my car very much- but I need to go grocery shopping today... so I need to deal with the car. It's only three years old…

Hello ladies! As predecited, super boring workday! LOL. I hate hate hate when I have to find busy work (administrative office work). I much prefer when clinic's nice and busy and I'm running around for the doctors all day! Unfortunately tomorrow will be the same because the head and neck surgeon I assist is out of town.…

Yeah I think it depends on how much fat you have to lose. I'd think if you don't have much, you'd see changes quickly. If you have a lot it may be slower b/c the muscle needs time to build. I really dunno though :smile: just guessing.

i do well with either sugar free russell stovers candy (better than you'd think) and super dark chocolate (70% or more) but if you want to stop all together? Yeah.. bandaid method. I personally don't think cutting something out all together is necessary though unless you have a medical reason. Everything in moderation is…

@ donna, don't forget to measure! I hear with TF that's more important than weighing because you'll see more changes in body composition than you will on the scale (although that will drop for you too. Just don't forget to measure! haha) Knee surgery! OMG. That must be so difficult when you enjoy exercising! So amazing to…

@tawnie- that's amazing your hubby's joining you! That'll be a great thing to do together. Apparently couples that workout together have a stronger bond, right? Only good things will come from it. I so understand how easy it is to put weight back on! I think if I hadn't continued logging last year to keep myself on track…

Good morning ladies! Today's plan will be one of my turbo jam dvds since my TF dvds STILL aren't here. Boo. I looked up the trackng number and the united states postal service is officially incompetent! LOL. The package started in NY, came across the country to Federal Way, Wa (like 45 minutes from where I live) and was…

@tonya, wow a back injury's a big thing to overcome! That's impressive. And the keys- I'm totally jealous! I haven't been able to afford a real vacation yet in my adult life. Sounds like fun! I bet the stronger you get from TF the better your back gets! @dream_big my running's totally gone to the back burner. I had started…

wow those are awesome results for two weeks! I really want to lose a little more poundage too, but maybe I have to build muscle first... I'm excited to see what turbofire does for me when I acutally GET THE DVDS (wish they'd hurry up and arrive). I love the one I have though, will be doing it today! (fire 45- woohoo!).…

it's not for hikes, but the "trail mix" I make is loose granola cereal, dried cranberries, pistachios and almonds. Love this mix! Simple and yummy.

can't wait to get my dvds! They're still on the way. Sad. Will start soon though! I already have the fire 45 dvd, which made me fall in love with it, of course. SO i got the whole set for pretty cheap off ebay. yeah!

BAHAHAHA I love that!!! So. true. If you want the cookie, eat it!! No good denying yourself everything. Personally, denying myself just makes me binge later. I'm better off eating the treat and adjusting my day's eating accordingly. Or exercise extra.

whaaaa? No comprendo.

do you remember that guy from biggest loser doing shadow boxing sitting down? He of course if way more out of shape than you, and I'm sure it'd get boring, but it'd definitely get your heartrate up if you're going all out, putting your effort into it.

This just changed my life. No more oil spills when stirring maybe? wow! LOL. Seriously, it's little things like this that should be obvious- but I see one and go "oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that?!"

i'd go to your pcp. They can order a foot xray to make sure there's nothing physically wrong (like bunions) that could be causing it. I'd do exercise that's nonimpactful til then! I get pain off and on in my left foot big toe joint and i'm young! I don't think it has to do with age. I think it's just bad genetics! After my…

Always interesting to know what others are doing! Especially when we're all doing the same activity.

Sounds like a good plan! I can't wait to get my dvds!! I'm still working on figuring out my "magic number" as far as calorie intake goes to go along with exercising. I've found a slightly different schedule for TF that I think I'm going to follow (the 20 week schedule). It includes some workouts towards the end that I…

http://www.michelebarrfitness.com/workout-schedules/turbo-fire/ i like this calendar better than the one that comes with the dvds.....

http://www.michelebarrfitness.com/workout-schedules/turbo-fire/ I like this calendar. Doesn't start out quite so slow.

i haven't gotten the whole set of dvds yet but I do have the fire 45 dvd and the stretch 10 at the end of that is HORRIBLE! I can't imagine doing it for 40 minutes. My plan is to just do one of my regular yoga dvds that I enjoy more. Chalene definitely needs to work on the stretch routine.

hahaha good answer!

I'm worried about building a tolerace too, hopefully that doesn't happen! I've been doing a combo of turbo fire/ turbo jam/ michelle dozios dvds an hour a day 5-6 days a week for three weeks. Before that I was running a couple of times a week. It's still pretty sweat and fast HR inducing for me though to do the workouts,…

hahaha I love the fire 45 dvd's "boom I got your boyfriend, I got your man" song- it helps that that particular set is so fun :)

I'm the same way. Starchy carbs are a must. I get too HANGRY without them, and that's not worth it to me. I'd rather have my 50% of carbs in my diet, feel happy and fuller longer and lose weight slower. But then again my whole life I've been the kind of person that can't go more than like 6 hrs during the day without…

whoops, just saw the typo in the title.....
