FINAL RESULTS: I lost 13 inches all over and 5 pounds....AND met my ultimate goal weight! So, BR helped me break my plateau and definitely toned me up. I am so much stronger now which I LOVE! Push-ups and planks are now a breeze and I actually look forward to strength training. Overall, I was very pleased with the program.…

1/8/13 Workout: Turbo Fire HIIT 25 - 250 calories burned! That was an intense workout, but I felt great after I finished it. I was super proud of myself. I will say that I am kind of looking forward to the rest day tomorrow though. :tongue: Stay encouraged ladies! :flowerforyou:

Awesome job!! That was a great burn chica! :happy:

Welcome to the group! We are so excited to have you! I LOVE the HIIT days...quick but efficient. :smile:

Workout for Today (1/7/13): Fire 45 EZ Class Lower Body 20 Stretch 10Total Calories Burned - 550 calories Stay encouraged! :flowerforyou:

I just kind of dove right into the program. However, I will say that I teach Zumba classes so picking up moves and routines is a strong skillset for me. My first workout was a little awkward because I didn't know Chalene's lingo, but I'm three weeks in now and things are much easier. I've been following the calendar that…

@twilight obession.... You can totally do this! My first workout was a little rough. I had trouble kind of keeping up with Chalene, but I'm on week 3 of the program and it's become MUCH easier. Once you learn her lingo for the moves, it becomes pretty routine. I haven't really altered my nutrition very much. I'm just…

I'm SO excited for you!! Please keep up posted on how your first few workouts go!

I just got into the Beach Body workouts about a mont ago, but I am LOVING Turbo Fire! It's the most challenging cardio program that I've tried in a long time. When I'm looking for a good laugh while I'm working out though, I enjoy doing Shawn T's Rockin Body. He's so flamboyant and I LOVE it!! He has me like "oooohhh...."…

Today's Workout (for me): HIIT 15 - burned 160 calories SCULPT 30 - burned 175 calories Total calories - 335 Checking my workout off for the day. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed my REST day yesterday. :smile:

Well definitely keep me posted on your progress! I'm excited for you!

I'm in my last few days of the program and I'd be lying if I said I haven't slacked off. I've only done workout 12 once. Oops. S I'm going to finish up on Thursday and Friday and then I'm planning to start Turbo Fire in January which I am pretty excited about. I started it a little last week and LOVE it so far so I'm…

Great eyes!

Fay? My first name starts with an M.

Well I am wishing you a speedy recovery, as I'm sure we all are. I love your dedication to keep doing your upper body strength training though. Get well soon chica! Guess its down to you and me Sci....

I didn't even realize that it was 13 weeks....are you sure? I just checked the DVDs and according to mine, I will be wrapping up the week of Christmas and since I'm a week behind...I think there are only 12...but check me on that. I could be wrong. Workouts 9 and 10 are pretty hard core, but I'm proud of the strength I've…

I would have to agree with Scarlet. There's definitely no need to start over from week 1. I have been following it pretty regularly for the past 9 weeks and I was DYING on week 9. I had to pause the dvd, I was modifying several exercises, and felt nauseaus after I finished. I actually laid down and slept for an hour and…

I'm still going....can't wait for next week to start 9 & 10. Week 7 was pretty tough for me but I was able to squeeze all of the workouts in. Definitely looking forward to finishing it up this week and moving on to phase 3! Keep up the great work!

June 9th here too!! Geminis!!!

I'm still sticking with the program too but I will be honest that today was only my third day this week so next week is going to be tough with limited rest days. I have noticed how strong I've gotten....I'm actually doing the lifted leg push ups. Crazy!! I'm also proud to announce that I actually weighed in after…

I think what they're telling you is that a flat tummy comes from nutrition, not exercise. You've got to watch your saturated fats, salt intake, and sugar intake. You need to avoide foods high in saturated fats like white rice, white breads and choose the wheat options. Try and eliminate sugars like diet sodas and candy and…

anahitacandol, I think #2 is absolutely adorable and #9 is super hot! Looks like it was a fun boudoir shoot. I have some boudoir pics from a few years back and I had a blast...seeing yours makes me want to do another one, especially since I don't look anything like my old pics anymore. :smile:

You ladies are so motivational! Especially this week when I haven't had the motivation to get up in the mornings and do ANYTHING. I have been SOOO tired this week. Because of you all, I've been making myself go home on my lunch and do the workout though because I don't want to fall behind. Thanks for the motivation and…

5'4" At my heaviest, I was 210lbs and wore a size 16 (US). I've lost 46 pounds. At 163 pounds I wear an 8/10 (US). Wow! It felt good to type that! :happy:

"She's really pretty, for a black girl." -- said by a guy I was interested in dating (he wasn't black). "Dang! Don't get me wrong, you were cute before, but I can't stop looking at you now! You look amazing! Dang!" -- said by one of my best guy friends (it was his first time seeing me since the 40 pound weight loss)

I actually strive to be over my fiber and protein everyday. I strive for 30grams of fiber daily...I even take metamucil every morning to help me get there. So, I would agree with everyone. Fiber is essential to weight loss. The only issue that arises with fiber is that you make sure you're drinking enough water to make…

I haven't been told that I look like any celebrity but my boyfriend (the guy in the pic) gets Shaun T a lot...lol. He's not a big fan of that.
