Best Beachbody strength program (that's On Demand)??
I need something to intersperse with my cardio to really strengthen up. I have Beachbody On Demand, so I'd prefer not to have to buy another program. I also have Body Beast, but I don't really want to worry about getting out all that equipment (the bench or ball, really). Thoughts?

skin removal surgery cost?
Anyone lost a lot of weight and had skin removal surgery? If so, how much did it cost? I assume it depends on how much you have taken off. Did insurance cover any of it?

Weight gain after sinus surgery?
I know this is kind of a random question. I lost over 100 pounds and was doing so-so after that (kind of stuck but not gaining very much back). I had sinus surgery last July, and since then, I have been almost steadily gaining weight. I've gained 20+ pounds since then. Is there a correlation? The only thing I can think of…

Turbo Fire Firestarter...who's done it?
I don't have the complete set, but I did see that Firestarter is online. So, I did it last night. It's no joke!!! I really like it actually. It's different, but I did get in a good workout. What do you all think? Anyone doing the HIITs yet?

Questions for BeachBody Coaches
I am on the fence about becoming a coach under my friend, who just became a coach. Please sell me on this. Is it really possible to make money and not be a great salesperson? What are the average earnings? How do you get the word out there personally? Facebook, Twitter, etc.? If I decide after a few months that it isn't…

sinus infections after sinus surgery (making life miserable)
I wasn't really sure what to post this, but I was hoping to get some info. I had chronic sinusitis for almost 3 years straight. I then had a CT scan, which showed I need sinus surgery, which I had this past July. Before having surgery, I had troubles maintaining a good exercise program because of being sick so much. I…

Turbo Fire starter kit schedule?
I bought the original set a while back then received the Firestarter pack a bit later on. I don't think I have a schedule that includes the new dvds. Does anyone else? Can you share them somehow? Thanks!

What's a reasonable time for a half marathon?
I know I just posted a thread about if I should sign up for a half in October, and I am pretty convinced I should. I ran a 10K in early June with a time of 1:02:07. What is a reasonable time for my half marathon (my goal time)? Thanks!

My mom's death sparked my weight loss of 110 lbs.
Today would've been my mom's 53rd birthday. She died at the age of 47 from a massive heart attack. She didn't eat well at all, ate out most days of the week usually twice, and she smoked about 3 packs of cigs a day. All of that, as you can imagine, led her to have a heart attack. She died when my oldest was only 8 months…

Post c-section exercises?
I know with my last baby (my third c-section), I tried to ride an exercise bike at 4 weeks, and I was super sore in my abs for over a week. I just restarted exercising (at 28 weeks pregnant) this time around, and I would like to not take a huge break when I have the baby before exercising again. I know waiting until the…

Toning up while pregnant?
I know I am not supposed to actively try to lose weight (have gained too much and gained some back before getting pregnant), but I do want to tone up my thighs, arms, butt, etc. So, I have started exercising again and eating better. Should that help to tone me up? I'm using bands 2-3x/week to do some toning. I guess I've…

Turbo Fire HIITs while pregnant?
Does anyone doing TF while pregnant? Do you avoid the HIITs? I wasn't sure if I should skip them altogether or just follow Ali. I'm 21 weeks if that matters. Thanks!

How to not gain too much weight while pregnant?
I think because I've been working on losing weight for so long, when I became pregnant, I kind of said "whatever." I'm 20 weeks and have gained just about that much. I had bad morning sickness and fatigue the first trimester, and so I didn't exercise. When I started feeling better, I just never picked back up with it. I'm…

Turbo Fire/Jam while pregnant
I want to get back into exercising again. I took a break during the first trimester due to nausea and fatigue, but I am not liking the scale right now (20 pounds in about 20 weeks). Anyway, before I got pregnant, I was running, doing Turbo Jam, and Turbo Fire (my own sort of hybrid). I like those programs, so I would like…

Who has only 1200 calories per day?
I always see people who have their calories set on 1200 per day. Why so low? I weigh 160, am 5'5", and have mine set at 1600. That's without eating back exercise calories. I have my settings on lightly active, as I am a teacher. I generally exercise 5x/week. I could NOT get by on 1200 calories per day. How do you all do it?

What weight made you happy (in your past)?
What weight in your past made you feel happy and healthy? Do you think if you get there, you'll be happy again? Are you planning on going lower in weight? For me, I was about 146-150 last year in the spring. I was pretty darn happy with myself and my size even though my original goal weight was 135. I would be happy at…

Pregnancy and HIIT workouts?
I have been working out for years, but I haven't really been good at sticking with it during pregnancy. I plan to continue on with my basic routine during this new pregnancy.

I've lost 100 pounds and will be in SHAPE Magazine!!!!
Hey, all! I've posted my success story a few times on here. I do want to be honest and let you know that I did put some of my weight back on, but I am working on taking it off again. I am specifically looking at lowering my sugar intake (since it's addicting and was a major reason for my gain the past year) and sticking…

"different" ways to eat avocados?
I usually only put avocados in guacamole or on a sandwich. I know there are ways out there to put them in smoothies (I think I heard). Any suggestions other than the first two things I mentioned? Thanks!

My doctor wants me to do low carb; need advice
I just got back from getting a physical at the doctor. I'll get blood testing done Saturday for diabetes, thyroid, cholesterol, etc. I want to make sure to keep my health in check because of my parents' deaths due to heart attacks/type II diabetes. So, I have a question or a few for you. My doctor recommended I go low carb…

Depression & loss of motivation after loss of loved one
After my mom died in 2005 from a massive heart attack, I made the decision that I needed to lose weight. I ended up losing 110 pounds from December 2005 to January or so 2010 (with two pregnancies in there). I knew I could do it and kept pushing through. I was then stuck at about that weight for 1.5 years. I kind of lost…

Clean eating menu plan?
I have not been doing well with my eating lately, and I think it's wreaking havoc on my body (lots of gas and nausea). I need to eat more cleanly. I have one Clean Eating cookbook, but I would like maybe some menu ideas (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) from you all. Can you give me like a 5-7 day eating plan? Thanks!

What to combine with Turbo Fire?
I kind of want to do a hybrid with TF, but I don't want to do ChaLean Extreme right now again. What else do you combine with TF to get a great program? (Not that TF isn't great already, but I want more.)

Reactions to hydrogenated oils?
I have been trying to figure something out, and I need your help. I've noticed when I eat foods with hydro oils in them, I get a headache and nausea. Anyone else have these issues? I am trying to see if that's really the cause here. Oh, I've also had some weight gain too.
