AMAZING!!! Congrats!!

I also buy frozen chopped. Chopping onions gives me a killer headache. I just can't do it.

The heavy lifting days of Chalean Extreme are about 35 minutes long. I love it. You will probably need weights from 5-15 pounds to start at the least. I use 5's, 8's, 10's, 15,s , 20's, 25's and 30's. I really need to get some 12's. I used to use a video called Kathy Smith's Lift Weights to Lose Weight that I liked. It…

Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement!! I have to say that I never knew how strong I was until I started this program. Now Chaleane will say "I'm using 20 pounds and I say to the TV..me too!" My triceps are the weakest right now but since I have been as heavy as 351 in the past, my lower body is super strong. I am loving…

Long ago I did the BC shot and gained a lot of weight. I have been on and off the BCP for a long time (over 15 years) and for me being off the pill is not worth it. It makes me have horrible (like pschyo lady) PMS and horrible heavy long periods. I considered getting and IUD or even having my tubes tied until my Dr…

I just found this group, but I started on 1/2 and completed Burn and started Push today. OMG! I did bicep curls with 20 pound!! I did my squats with 30! My body was so done at the end!! It felt great!! I am really worried that the scale will not move this month with the heavy lifting. I know I will be adding muscle, but I…

Congrats!! WTG!

WOW!! I am speechless!! WOW!! Congrats!!

I have Chalean Extreme, Turbofire and 30 Day shred. They are very different. I get bored with 30DS because it's a three 20 minute workouts. Where as with CE and TF you get a lot more variety. I tend to do CE for my weight training and will do 30DS on my non heavy lifting days when I am short on time. The CE workouts on non…

It depends on if you will go. I just cancelled my gym membership. When I first got it I was taking classes several times a week. Then I started working from home and my kids got in more activities and I simply could not schedule it so I started doing DVD's including strength training from home. You can buy a program like…

I finished my 1st month of Burn Circuit today! So moving on to Push on Monday. I like it a lot!! Remember to go heavy. I had to buy additional weights. I use weights ranging from 5-25 pounds right now. Hoping I don't have to buy more for the Push phase.

I did it at 320 pounds. You can do it!!

I can say that I am NOT a Beachbody coach. I have tried it and I liked the chocolate. When I used it I was not hungry and did have plenty of energy. That said it's expensive at $4 per serving. Since I tend to have 2 meal replacement meals a day, it puts it way out of my budget. I have been using Ideal Shape meal…

I am a high weight low rep gal. Go heavy or go home. Why do 30 bicep curls with 5 pounds when you can do 10 bicep curls with 15 pounds and see more results. Why sit there rowing with 8 pounds in each hand all day when you can row with 20 pound in each hand and really push yourself.

I love love love Chleane Extreme. She is a fabulous trainer and while she will ask you to do pushups, it's no more than 12. I have lost 12 pounds since 1/2/12 using her program. It's great!!

I have done it and liked it, I did not bored after a while with the same workout. Now I do it occasionally when I am short on time and need a quick workout and don't want to do nothing at all. It will make you sweat in 20 min for sure

You just have to do it,. I am currently 293. I do Chalean Extreme at least 3-4 times a week and toss in the 30 Day Shed occasionally, oh and I signed up for Karate this month. Knocked a guy flat on his behind last week during sparring. Was dripping with sweat at the end of the night. The only one limiting what you can do…

Congrats!!!

What a fabulous story!! I am going to check out the book. I already had a high calorie day in my diet to help prevent starvation mode, but I love the idea of having a calorie goal for the high calorie day! Thanks for sharing!
