With my first round, I lost 9 pounds and 12.5", BUT (and this is a big BUT) my diet wasn't in place. I was trying portion control and not monitoring calories. This time I'm keeping full track of my calories and have lost two pounds (official weigh-in isn't until Tuesday though) in my first week of my second round. I don't…

I'm on my second round of TF. I really do love it! I think it's Chalene Johnson that makes the workouts so fun and motivating, but it's a great workout. I was a complete Turbo virgin when I ordered it (I did the monthly payments, by the way, because I couldn't afford to do the full fee), but there's a "new to class" option…

You look AMAZING! I did one round of TF starting May 2011 and one round of Chalean Extreme after that, but my eating sucked. I'm now one week into my second round of TF with my diet in place (finally), so this was just the inspiration I needed. Excellent work!!

You look fantastic!!

Jersey Shore and Mob Wives are my guilty pleasure shows, though I'm more into Mob Wives. Usually if there's nothing else on TV, I'll catch up on Jersey Shore.

Fabulous job!! You look amazing!!

Holy crapola! Great job!!

LOL...I understand completely, especially with Fire 45EZ. Good luck!

I'd give it a try. You may even need more than that on the more intense workout days.

I'd try upping your calorie intake to at least 1,400-1,500 to start. If you're burning, say, 400-500 calories during some of the longer workouts, you're only giving your body 700-800 calories minimum to run on with a 1,200-calorie diet.

As intense as TF is, you're eating too few calories (I'm on my second round of TF). Did you use the guide to calculate your calories?

I'm 5'6", large framed, and would like to get to a very toned/fit/muscled 140-150. Never been that small EVER, so don't know how that will look on me. The lowest weight I remember hitting was 159 when I was in high school. We shall see!

If I were you, I'd go on to push since you completed all of the burn circuit. If you'd be more comfortable doing a week of burn before the transition to get back in the swing of things, it wouldn't hurt anything. :)

Safety pins were the key for me to keeping the pullover tight before the rolling. LOL

So I was supposed to start my second round of CLX Monday, but woke up last weekend after falling asleep on the couch with my left shoulder killing me. I haven't been able to do jack this week and it's been really disheartening, but hopefully I'll be able to at least get back on the TurboFire train Monday since my…

Tuesday ~ Fire 55EZ :heart: Wednesday ~ Lean2W4 Today ~ Fire 45 The Fire 45s are just mentally difficult for me to get through, but dangit, I'm not gonna let them! :laugh: Tomorrow is my last lifting day to complete my 90 days of CLX, then it's on to round 2 Monday. :happy:

I felt the same way my first week. I think once you get past the initial workouts, you start focusing more on quality over quantity. The second week you have your weights written down that you lifted and can progress from there knowing if you need to go heavier or lighter. Keep going...you'll find your niche. :happy:

Fire 30 and Lean 1 done for today. This is my last week of CLX, but heading straight into round two next week. :happy: Great job, guys!! :heart:

You are my new favorite MFP'er, Stormy! :laugh:

Welcome back!! I was surprised to see your calorie burns for Insanity. I guess I always assumed that the program was so intense, the calorie burn would be absolutely phenomenal. I'd love to give it a go, as I like a good challenge, but I already have to modify the tuck jumps in TF, so Insanity would be a definite no-no for…

Fire 30 and Lean3W2 last night complete! Tonight is my family's traditional all-you-can eat Christmas Eve steak, homemade french fries, and buttered rolls dinner. I'm praying I don't completely tank cause steak is my kryptonite (sp?)! :laugh:

Hi Jessica! I'm two weeks away from finishing my first round of CLX and have loved it. I'll probably do another round after I'm done throwing in some TurboFire making my own hybrid. You got this, girl. We're always here if you need motivation. Best of luck! :happy:

I'm still doing the workouts, just haven't been logging them here as much. So far this week, I've done: Monday - Lean1W2 Tuesday - Fire 45EZ (don't know WHAT I was thinking doing this one, but wanted a change LOL) Wednesday - Lean2W2 and Fire 30. I was thinking of Fire 60 for today, but not sure. Guess I'll figure it out…

Lean3W1 done. Holy *&%#!! My arms are gonna hate me tomorrow!

I did some Fire 55EZ today. My arms were still sore from yesterday's Lean 1, so with every punch thrown it was an "Oh-OW!" :laugh: Feels like it's been forever since I'd done that workout and it was fun. Last week I started with a schedule similar to Tracy's to try to help the fat blasting a bit. Lovin' what CLX is doing…

Lean1Wk1 done!! Wowzers...what an arm workout!!

Skip used to rake my nerves HORRIBLY. LOL I guess I've gotten so used to his whining, I just tune him out now. I guess I didn't pay as much attention to her in TF where they didn't really single her out much, but I would LOVE to have arms and shoulders like Toni!!

I printed these off to use instead of marking up my guidebook: http://www.teambeachbody.com/home/-/dl_get_file/f6ecd5c7-887c-44a5-8930-a59e1043d988 I also found the calendar online that I printed off, as well, for notes and to keep track (again, without marking up my guidebook..LOL). Some of the other folks may pop in with…

WTG, Muffin!!!!!!! Have fun with Insanity!!

I missed my workout on Thursday with Burn Intervals/Extreme Abs with a crazy busy work schedule, so yesterday threw in Fire 30 for something different since I didn't know about combining 2 workouts using weights, then did Push3W3, and finished out with Extreme Abs. Holy lord!! Extreme Abs is KILLER!
