I'm sorry to hear about your house but am glad that you're family is safe and that your new home will be ready soon!

I agree with strength training. Good luck!!

I love that show!! I have to admit that I was disappointed for most of the episode. I was a bit disappointed. I was so bummed to see faux-Amanda back and pregnant. That was the first time i really felt bad for Emily during any of the season. I really want her & Jack together. It would make her more "real". Break that shell…

Hi! Just checking in. I"m restarting Push week 3 tomorrow. I got sick last week. I made it through all the circuits but missed the cardio days. I decided to start the week over.

I have a similar problem from a past eating disorder. If I eat in my normal calorie range without working out, I gain weight so fast. I've even gained weight doing cardio a few times a week and eating (what I thought) was normal for me. The only way I've ever been able to loose weight is by increasing the muscle in my…

[ quote] Xmark are the ones I got too. I love them. I had them in like 4 days! I noticed you mentioned you did your cardio BEFORE your strenth. I have read it should be the other way around as you can give it all to the weights, then the rest to cardio. Have you noticed a difference? [/quote] I'm liking the weights so far.…

[quote I broke down and ordered some XMark adjustable weights last night. [/quote] Now that is exciting! I'm extremely jealous! Were they very expensive? [/quote] They were $150 on Amazon. I had a very large gift card credit from Amazon for selling back my old textbooks. I was able to use that. I used them for the first…

Yay!! You are not sad at all!! You are awesome!! I broke down and ordered some XMark adjustable weights last night. I'm still having problems with one legged lower body exercises and the bands. It is beginning to frustrate me because I know I can go heavier but maybe being short is causing issues. I had a credit at Amazon…

Week 1 of Push is done!! I do like the workouts and change up with the exercises. The circuits are also all about 35 minutes and I'm still running for 30-40 minutes before each circuit. I have been using bands and do have three more bands that have higher resistance than the one I am currently working with. I think I will…

Great job!! The first week you will be sore. Keep going, I promise it will be better in week 2. My results for Burn: Lost 10.5 pounds 1.5 inches off waist 1 inch off each arm 2 inches off hips 1 inch off each thigh 1 inch off each calf gained an inch on my bust??? I'm happy with my results so far. I liked the first Push…

Congrats!! I did my last Burn workout tonight. I will be measuring in three days, the day before Push starts.

I finished my last Burn workout tonight!! I will be measuring the day before I start Push. I still have a rest day and a cardio day before that happens.

I took a short run and completed Burn3 today. Tomorrow is Burn It Off & Recharge, then a rest day, then Burn It Off & Recharge again, then one more rest day before the Push phase begins, When should I take my end of Burn phase measurements? Do I do them the first day of the Push Phase?

In week4 of Burn.Did Burn Intervals and Abs today. I haven't been posting daily but have been on track and haven't missed a workout yet. :)

I like to add finely chopped spinach and onions in my turkey burger. I don't usually use a bun.

I finished week 3 of Burn on Tuesday. Wednesday is my rest day.

I spent most of my weekend studying and didn't have the chance to log on. My updates: Friday: Was a rest day....I rested and went to bed early. Saturday: Ran for 40 minutes and did Burn 2 Sunday: Ab burner and burn Intervals.

Morning!!! I haven't been updating so here is my big update: Friday was a rest day and I actually took it AND got to bed earlier. Saturday was Burn 2 and I ran as well. Sunday was Abs and Burn Intervals. I DID ALL OF MY BURPEES!!! I will be running and doing Burn 3 later tonight. I will update on the double calf issues. I…

I was doing the same calculation for myself. I will try though. If it comes to the point where my photo may traumatize others, then I might not post it.

Thank you for posting these!! What an incredible transformation. It doesn't look like you had a baby at all!!

Week 3 of Burn started on Thursday. I am still adding cardio, (sorry)

Started week 3 of Burn on Thursday. Still adding cardio. All is well.

Week 2 of Burn is complete!! Resting tomorrow.

MMT: Are you using bands or weights? Great job on seeing some results. I love when that happens. Jodye: I'm going to review the Band Basics again tomorrow. I hope whatever I"m missing clicks! Day 13 done. The Recharge workout felt extra good tonight. Hope everyone had a great day.

I'm with you...burpees and I are not yet friends. Neither are push ups & I. Hopefully that will change by the end of the program.

Day 12 down. I did Burn 3 and Cardio Party Remix. I am REALLY having a hard time using the tubing with the two exercises that have double calf raises. I keep rolling my ankles out a bit when I'm up on my toes and am worried that I will cause an injury. Tonight, I used the tubing for the first couple of reps on these…

I am on day 12. I've added extra cardio via Turbo Jam on all of the days I do my Burn circuits. Last week it was 20minutes and this week it was 30. I've also added running on day 2 of the week. My problem spots are my upper arms and lower abs. I know that if I want to see the type of results that I want, that I need to…

The only time I used one is after the birth of my first son. I couldn't feel my stomach muscles and it reminded me to pull them in. I used it for about a month and then stopped once I had gotten back into the habit. If you are using it for a reason like that, I'd say go for it. It's not going to do much else then make sure…

Day 11 down. Burn Intervals and Ab Burn. They both went much smoother than they did last week.

Tonight I did Burn Intervals and Ab Burn. I am doing much better than I was last week. I had tried the program once when it first came out and only got through the first 30 days and would skip Burn Intervals, Ab Burner and Burn It Off. I had to push myself through them last week. This week though, at least with the Burn…
