Anyone ever broken a 2 year plateau?
I've tried different exercise programs. I've tried closely monitoring my food. I can't seem to break through this 2 year long plateau! Any BTDTs with advice?

Hybrid of Turbo Fire with other non-BB programs?
Is anyone doing or planning to do a hybrid with Turbo Fire and other programs (non-BeachBody)? I am looking to possibly combine a few programs since just doing TF isn't getting me the results I want right now. I need some ideas! :smile:

early morning exercisers ?
I try my best to get up at 4am to workout before work, but it doesn't always happen. Do you find that if you don't get it done in the morning, there's a very good chance it won't get done? How do you find the motivation to get it done at night, especially if you know you're going to get up again in a few hours to exercise…

Why don't I burn as many calories as others?
I am doing Turbo Fire, and there are several of us in a group on FB. They have been posting their daily calorie burns, especially for the HIIT workouts. They burn about 10 calories/minute, while I am only burning like 7 calories/minute. My guess is maybe it's because my resting heart rate is in the 50s-low 60s. Plus, I've…

Turbo Fire finishers...
When did you start seeing the most weight come off or a change in your body? I got down to my lowest weight of 146 (back to 155 now) during the hybrid of CLX/TF when it was mostly HIIT workouts (week 8+, is it?). When should I start seeing more results this time around? My diet is getting cleaner and cleaner, btw. :wink:…

Weak, tired, cranky on cycle 1 of 17DD...suggestions?
My husband and I are on day 5 of cycle 1. He, especially, has notice not more energy but quite a bit less. He doesn't physically feel like working out anymore, and he is cranky. Should we go ahead and add in more healthy carbs, or just make him stick with cycle 1? For the record, I don't really like "diets", but I was kind…

Who did the Turbo Fire diet and saw nice results?
Did anyone follow the TF meal plan and see nice results? Please share your success. Thanks!

Questions for anyone who has ever started the 17DD?
Please be honest. How long did you make it on the 17 day diet plan? Did you gain back any weight you lost? Are you doing something similar now if you're off the diet (maybe using some of the diet plans but tweaking it to me your lifestyle)? DH and I are kind of struggling, and today's only been day 4. I am doing okay for…

People at your goal weight...
If you've been at your goal weight for a while, what kind of weight range do you maintain? What I mean is, let's say your goal weight is 135, and you're there. Do you gain 2-3 pounds and lose them here and there, or is it more like 10 pounds? Just trying to figure something out. Thanks!
-
Guy who don't like cardio...
My husband has decided that he doesn't really care for cardio, that he really likes lifting weights. However, he needs to lose maybe 50ish pounds to get into a healthy range. He tried walking, but his heart rate doesn't get up enough. He tried running, but his legs hurt despite the new running shoes. He gets bored easily…

17 Day Diet: Last 10-20 pounds gone? OR doing TF too?
I am starting the diet on Monday. I have 10-20 more pounds to lose to FINALLY get to my goal weight (up a bit in weight than what my ticker says). Did anyone have success with this and getting that last weight off or breaking a plateau? Also, something I am worried about is doing Turbo Fire while doing the diet. Will I get…

I get to speak about my weight loss!
I teach high school English. This coming week at school will be dedicated to the American Heart Association and raising money for it. Well, because my mom died of a heart attack (age 47), my dad has had multiple smaller heart attacks and a quadruple bipass, and I have lost over 100 pounds being motivated by their health, I…

Clean eaters--What to drink for that mid-afternoon lull?
I used to get coffee drinks that are full of random stuff, definitely not "clean". Now I need to find a substitute to keep me going when I feel tired in the afternoon. What do you drink?
-
Do you think working in the heat burns more calories?
We are under a heat advisory or whatever, just like most places are in the U.S. right now. Do you think working outside (say, gardening) in this heat and humidity would make it so you would burn more calories than if the weather weren't so hot? Just curious.

Planning on starting Turbo Fire in August?
Is anyone planning on starting TF sometime in early August? I am planning on August 8, after we get back from vacation. Want to create a thread to support each other?
-
Turbo Fire calories?
I will be starting straight up Turbo Fire (instead of the CLX/TF hybrid I have done in the past) on August 8. For those who are doing TF, do you follow TF's calorie suggestions based on the book that came with the program OR are you doing MFP's calorie recommendations (which would including eating back your calories)? What…

Turbo Fire--Can this finally help me lose the last 10 lbs?
I have been pretty well stuck at 150ish for the last 1.5 years. I have already done a hybrid of ChaLean Extreme and Turbo Fire, but after I get back from vacation around August 8, I want to do just straight up TF. I am wondering if this can help me get to my goal weight finally. Can you please share your experiences and…

gym classes versus workout dvds
I have done almost all workout dvds along with running outside and some treadmill work. I am thinking about possibly taking some exercise classes at my gym to remotivate me (sinus issues have drained some desire for working out). I was thinking maybe spinning and Zumba, if I can find a gym that offers both. What are your…

NSV: resting heart rate
I had sinus surgery on Friday, and before the surgery, they took my vitals. The nurse was a bit confused by my resting heart rate of 54. I told him I exercise a lot, and he said that's good. I looked up what that HR means, and it says I am an "athlete". :smile: Awesome!
-
Has anyone had sinus surgery before?
I am having sinus surgery on Friday. I am worried about how long it'll be before I can exercise again. Any tips? Also, what should I expect as far as what I can eat the first few days? I want to make sure I have the foods I might need. My doc didn't really give me any info (yet). Thanks!

Making it through Turbo Fire's Inferno plan?
I did the Inferno plan right after Christmas, and I had an awful time trying to stay within that calorie range. I am doing it again starting today, and I am upping the calories to 1400ish. I hope that'll help the irritability. For those that have done the Inferno, how did you get by with so much exercise and so few…

JM's 6 Week 6 Pack...just done occasionally?
I get extremely sick of repetition in my workouts, which is why I had trouble doing many workout programs that are the same or almost the same for even 2 weeks in a row. I was just researching the aforementioned (see title) dvd, and it looks like it burns a nice amount of calories and is a good workout. My core is my…

need half marathon training help
I posted this earlier, but you can't edit your subject. I hope to get some responses this time. :wink: I completed my first half on 6/4/11. I did Hal Higdon's Novice plan. Here are some things I didn't like that I would like to do differently this time around... I would like to have my long run be 12+ miles instead of 10.…

Need a different half marathon training schedule?
I completed my first half on 6/4/11. I did Hal Higdon's Novice plan. Here are some things I didn't like that I would like to do differently this time around... I would like to have my long run be 12+ miles instead of 10. The last 3 miles in my last race were difficult. I feel that getting closer to 13.1 miles for training…

Would strength training schedule/methods affect results?
I hope this will make sense. I am trying to focus more on strength training and toning now that I believe my body seems to be happy with the number on the scale (at least I've plateaued for 1.5 years). I was wondering if it matters as per results what kind(s) of strength training you do. Here's what I was planning on…

What do to with kids that is free?
We will be saving most of our money the next 2 months for vacation the first week of August. I am running out of free things to do with my kids. We just set up their swing set, and we don't have a big pool but several small ones. We visit the library weekly. Any other ideas besides going to the park? THANKS!

What's happening to my dad because he isn't healthy...
First of all, my mom died at the age of 47 of a massive heart attack. She weighed somewhere around 300 pounds and smoked 3 packs/day. That's what kick started my weight loss motivation. Here's what makes me continue (at least partially)...my dad. My dad has had a quadruple bipass, high just about everything, and Type II…

Start Maintaining or force my body to lose those last 10 lbs
I guess I am just confused right now with what I want to do. I really believe my body is happy at this weight (150 for a 5'5" me), even though that is nearing "overweight" actually. I have been pretty much stuck here for 1.5 years. I thought I would just focus mostly on strength training and firming up. Here's the…

close to goal weight...concentrate more on strength training
My body seems to like being around 150, even though I would like to be closer to 140. I have plateaued here for about 1.5 YEARS! My husband suggested maybe I focus a bit less on cardio and more on strength training. I really liked how my body was transforming when I did ChaLean Extreme, but I don't want to do it again…

When will I start to feel normal again? (post half marathon)
I know I asked a lot of questions leading up to my first half marathon this past Saturday. Well, I took Sunday and Monday off of exercise. I tried exercising today and yesterday and found it difficult...didn't run but did exercise DVDs. When will I start feeling like my strong/more "able to move" self? My legs just don't…
