Generic or not, Splenda makes me bloat up like the Goodyear blimp. If I ingest it makes me feel like I could deflate like a balloon if I got popped with a pin. Hate that stuff! If I do use artficial sweeteners, I try to stick with aspartame as it doesn't cause me an side effects.

If you enjoy Turbo Jam I think you will LOVE Turbo Fire. It is basically a jacked up version of Turbo Jam. :bigsmile: Keep in mind that if you order it from Beachbody, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you decide you don't like it, so there really is no risk unless you wait more than 30 days to try it out!…

At any given point in time, the FitBit will show you your total overall calorie burn. If that is the number you saw after you finished the elliptical, it was all calories burned for the day, including your workout. The only way to show the calories burned from a certain period of time would be to use the START/STOP…

Where did he go missing? What state?

I do not think you should put anything on hold because you might become pregnant. It could take a while to get pregnant, and that time could be spent losing weight and getting your body to a healthier place. It took my husband and I a year to conceive, even using temps and charting. I am glad I didn't put anything on hold…

You can do HIIT with just about anything: running, cycling, elliptical, jump rope, etc. It is basically just alternating periods of high intensity spurts with periods of recovery.

This article was mentioned on Good Morning America today. They interviewed a doctor about the study and he said not to put much faith into it. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/HeartHealth/diet-soda-linked-heart-attack-stroke-risk/story?id=12868269 "One of the many flaws here is that participants were asked about soda intake at…

I just got one about 2 weeks ago and also love mine. There are some Facebook groups for FitBit that are fairly active, too. I found some FitBit friends from that group to add to my "friends" list on the FitBit website.

Turbo Fire is pretty much all cardio. You can do a hybrid of it with another program (like p90x or ChaLean Extreme) but there is only one "weight" workout and it's done with resistance band. I am doing TF right now and really love it. p90x is tough but is a great weight workout. I did 12 weeks last summer and honestly, I…

Another one to consider is Turbo Fire, which is also a BB program. It is like Turbo Jam on crack. :bigsmile:

There is a food diary on FitBit website but it is not as robust or user friendly as MFP. I enter all my food here and then transfer that one daily total to FitBit. I just updated my blog last night with some screen shots if you want to check it out: http://girlgetfit.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/fitbit-screen-shots/

I got a FitBit last week and so far I love it. I decided on this over a GoWearFit in part due to price, and also because I was not sure I wanted to wear something around my arm all day long, especially considering I live in an area of the county where short sleeves are needed 6 months out of the year. :) The FitBit tracks…

That's what I am doing. I think i saw your suggestion in another thread. Thanks. :)

I just bought one yesterday and so far I really love it! You can join their forums for free even if you don't have one, I did that before I bought mine to kind of help me make up my mind.

I agree that it is helpful to have the moves down in TJ first. You can pick up even just a few of the DVDs on eBay or other places. TJ 5 Rockin' Workouts is one DVD that is good to start with. I also like Fat Blaster and Cardio Party 2. I just did TF over the weekend after a 4 month hiatus from TJ and found myself pretty…

I finished p90x in July. The BB recovery drink wasn't in our budget so I either used chocolate milk (I mixed vit D whole milk with fat free skim because I think you are supposed to use 1% milk) or grape juice with a half scoop of vanilla protein powder. Sounds icky but as long as you get it mixed up well it is very tasty!…

I am in week 3 of TJ and LOVE it. It is a lot of fun and I look forward to it everyday!

I actually started with a personal trainer, just to make sure I was doing the moves correctly. Then I moved onto Body for Life and then New Rules. Good luck!

I finished 90 days of p90x last month and now am doing Turbo Jam. It's a blast!

Are you sure he ordered the Deluxe version? because I think that is 5 additional discs. The regular version comes with 5 empty slots to put those discs into if you purchase deluxe. If so, I would contact beachbody, their customer service is pretty responsive (assuming that's where he bought it).

I belonged to a running group before my DD was born. We met Sat morning at 6am. They outlined a training schedule on their website (it was in support of a local marathon, so the training was geared toward marathon and half-marathon). I liked that each week we met at a different place and they provided printouts of the…

You can also download a free excel tracking spreadsheet from beachbody that will populate the order of the exercises based on which program you are doing. It also has all the sheets for logging your workouts, it is awesome! http://teambeachbody.com/get-fit/fitness-tools/workout-sheets

I just finished 90 days of p90x. It is a difficult program and also time-intense so if you have a limited schedule it is probably not the program for you. It will give you results though. Now I am doing Turbo Jam, which is COMPLETELY different but I LOVE it. I have done Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, and it is a good…

I used to have a pair of MBTs, all I got was a huge blister on the back of my heel. I ended up selling them on ebay. I also think these shoes are a bunch of hooey, and I am shocked that some of you would run in them. These shoes are so NOT meant for running! That's a great way to break your ankle if you lose your balance…

I agree these are both great books, my husband and I both used them when we still had our gym memberships!

I used a different yoga DVD (Crunch Yoga).

I have been looking for the sublingual version, thanks for this info!

Personally I think it is all the hormones and additives in our foods. Added to the "we are busier" reason (i.e. more processed foods) and voila, we have many overweight people as a result.

The magic actually happens in Phase 3, and for many women, not until AFTER 90 days. You must be patient. p90x is designed so that your body peaks near the end. I know it is frustrating when you are putting your body through such extreme physical stress to not see or feel results immediately, but they will come. I just…
