JMBR versus Chalean Extreme?
I did TurboFire last year and LOVED it. Chalene is amazing and I love her so much! However, TF was getting a bit stale so I moved on to some Jillian Michaels workouts and semi-enjoyed them. I liked the incorporation of weights in a more full on way. I've been attempting to do JMBR now since December and I just can't get…

Sleep versus Exercise
Hi all! I wonder if anyone can help. I seem to always be crazy at work, leaving the house at 8am and arriving home around midnight (about 15 hour days with an hour commute each way). I only have 8 hours at home, about 6-7 hours max for sleeping. The question that I have is, I never know whether to just get 5 hours of sleep…

Starting over...friends?
Hi all! I have just gotten back from my holiday abroad, and I am officially starting over. I feel absolutely awful after stuffing myself silly for 2 weeks. I fell off the wagon before I left too, so it's all just spiralled out of control. The worst part is, I am going wedding dress shopping in 3 weeks! I have several…

How do you stay motivated?
I have been on MFP for over 7 months, and for the last 3 - 4 months I have been going up and down the same 3 lbs. I'm not entirely unhappy with that, I'm at a healthy weight, but I'm mainly concerned that I just don't have the motivation to get up and work out anymore. I also start off the day eating well and tracking but…

Re-Motivation
Hi all! So I have had a terrible few weeks at work and confess I've only done about 3 days of TF per week! I really want to get back into it this week and finish strong! I've noticed there are a lot of you awesome people on here I'm not friends with...and I'd love your support! Feel free to friend me! Thanks all! We are…

I'm back!
I've finally recovered from my holiday, all in all only missed 1 week of TurboFire and I'm thoroughly back in the game! How are you all doing? I've seen some great results recently, you're all fantastic! Just got a new HRM that actually shows the calories burned rather than calculating it manually - it is seriously wicked,…

NSV - those jeans fit!!!
Yesterday I noticed that my work trousers, which I bought a few weeks ago two sizes smaller than my previous ones, were loose! I thought it may be because they were cheap and had stretched out, so just for a laugh I got out my jeans from 3 years ago when I'd lost tons of weight for my brother's wedding. Three sizes smaller…

55EZ - with gloves!
Did 55 EZ this morning, my fave, and thought I'd see how far I could get with the gloves on. Pumped up the music and rocked out, then I got through the fire drills and (as usual) thought I was going to die so I took the gloves off. I did one punch and then thought "nope, too easy, I can so do this" and I put the gloves…

Dance!
So, doing TF has made me realise how much I miss dancing. I used to be a competitive dancer and dance teacher, did at least one dance class or rehearsal every day of the week, and learning the choreography and moving to the music in TF has brought all of my feelings about dance back to the surface! I love being a lawyer…

Back injury - what exercises can I do?
I believe I pulled the muscle where my glute meets my lower back. I've rested as much as I can the last few days (I have to walk a mile each way to the train station and other walking during the day) but it's still not better. I'd really like to keep fit and burn some calories but I don't want to put stress on the muscle.…

I pressed play!!
Did my first day of TurboFire today, Fire 30. It. Was. Amazing!!! I LOVED it. Time to come clean - deep down I was a little bit skeptical about whether everything they said in the infomercial and such about TurboFire was true. Shame on me...it is ALL true! I did push harder than I thought I could and enjoyed doing it! I…

Fire 55 - WOW
Did Fire 55EZ for the first time today...holy moly what a workout!! I thought I was going to die after the fire drills and didn't think I could go any further, and then I'm dancing it out to some Salt 'N Peppa - genius! Plus, I burned over 600 cals and my heart rate was higher than its ever been in a workout! Loving TF!…

Cardio on Core/Stretch days?
Hi all! I'm going out for dinner on Saturday night and I'd like to get a good burn in on Saturday morning to have some extra cals to eat at night. It's a core/stretch day, and I wondered whether it would be okay to go for a run before or after to get a burn in? Honestly, I want to do the program the best I can so I'm happy…

Scared of Change?
This is a bit of a weird thing to say, as I am here to change and I think we all are, but do any of you ever find the weight you're losing a little scary? I've always seen fit and thin people and thought things like "I could never look like that" etc...I feel like this time is different and seeing all of your amazing…

Not losing...could it be muscle?
Hi all. Over the last 4 weeks I have done really well, exercised 6 days a week and have been under cals net each week. I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my stomach, 1 inch off my hips and .5 inches off each of my thighs. I feel really good, I feel satisfied but not stuffed during the day and the exercise is…

TurboFire
Hi all! I have been seeing conversations about TurboFire on here and had never heard of it...so I looked it up and it looks great! I am currently doing 30 Day Shred and having good results but I will probably need something new to move onto afterward. I really want a workout that's a bit more fun. Although Jillian is…

Too much protein, too little fat?
Hi all! I'm new to this and while it's easy to get the calorie counting bit, I'm a little confused about the fat/protein/carb targets. My mother has always been very health conscious and I grew up eating a low fat/high protein diet. Because I've always eaten that way, most of the foods that I like are low fat/high protein…
