  • Hello Mommies! I haven't been posting much because I am SO. RIDICULOUSLY. TIRED. ALL. THE. TIME!!! It's starting to make me sad because instead of feeling happy & pregnant, I feel like I have some serious illness! I feel like I am just a small fraction of myself around my husband and 2 year old. UGH! I can't wait for this…
  • Hello April Mommies! How is everyone doing? I've gained 2.6 pounds so far - but it looks like a lot more! And I am trying not to over eat but being exhausted and nauseous just lends itself to cheating with comfort food! Argh! I am trying... My first Dr's appt is this Thusday - FINALLY! I am really looking forward to…
  • Welcome everyone! I apologize for being MIA - I was traveling last week. How is everyone feeling? I am 6 weeks, 3 days today (according to my own calculations - my first OB appt. is next week), and I am nauseous quite often. Also, I could happily sleep the days away! I wish I had a schedule that could permit a sleep-in…
  • Hello April Mommies! keyalus has it right on the calories. It is typical to only gain 1-5 pounds the entire first trimester (I'm aiming for 1 since I am currently 10 pounds over my comfortable weight), and then 1 pound per week in the 2nd and 3rd trimester's. I am eating at or close to my maintenance calories for the first…
  • Name: Jennifer Hubby: Eric How many kids do you have: We have a little girl who is 2 (or 27 months). Due Date: April 2013 Do you know the gender: Not yet Have you picked out the baby's name: No... we may go with the boys name we had picked out last time before we found out we were having a girl. I still like it - but I…
  • Welcome everyone! My last pregnancy I went from 123 to 160 pounds - so a gain of 37 pounds. And it's no secret how that happened~ I think I was eating for 4 those last few months! I am starting this pregnancy at 125 and I hope to only get up to 150 which is a gain of 25 pounds. Last pregnancy I didn't track my calories at…
  • Do you have the schedule? Day 3 is a rest day. Here is a site with the schedule. http://www.extremely-fit.com/downloads/turbo-fire-workout-calendar-color.pdf
  • On my first day - I felt like the most uncoordinated bull in the china shop. It was ridiculous. Ridiculous. Day 2 was a smidge better... and it continued to get better and better. I did the "new to class" option for a good 2 1/2 weeks. Now I jump right in - and I still get a little twisted around once in awhile, but…
  • I just made these last night. I use carb balance Tortillas by Mission Foods. My husband and I put different items in them, because he is not / does not need to count calories. Here's what I laid out and it was "build your own". Shredded Lettuce (Shredded cabbage is also a nice option) Shredded Cheese Avocado Salsa Sour…

  • I'm in month 2 of TurboFire. And I am of course counting those calories. I am not burning as much doing TurboFire as I had hoped, so I may need to find a way to add in more cardio...

  • I'm 5'2.5" and currently 128. My goal is to get down to and stay within the 108 - 113 range. I'm eating at/around 1200kcal per day and am in week 4 of TurbFire. I'm finding the last 20 pounds to be challenging!
  • Amazing!!! Well done!
  • I have 18 pounds to go and I am in my 2nd week of TurboFire. This seems to be working for me so far as I've lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks.
  • WOW! Congratulations!! I'm in week 2, and have already noticed changes in my body. It's exciting to see that we don't have to wait until near the end to see results! You look amazing!

The good news is - apparently I know how to maintain. :wink: But since maintenance is not my current goal - I am going to be really diligent about getting…
  • I know you're right... it's just that it's hard to stay focused when progress it at a snails pace! lol

I lost 8 pounds during the last 10 week challenge. 7 weeks in to this one and I am at less than 1 pound lost total. Clearly I need to make a change. Happy weekend everyone!…
  • YAY!!! I'm so excited to be a big loser! I'm going to give options for the mini challenge... Choice A.) Pick that one thing that's been on your to-do list forever. You know? That thing you have been procrastinating on and it's been in the back of your mind, nagging at you? That thing. Do it. You have an entire week! You…
