Shoe Suggestions for BB T25
I will be doing T25 to up my cardio, but need some suggestions for good, supportive shoes. When I recently tried to start the program, I found me feet got extremely sore and I found it difficult to continue doing the movements. I did Insanity and other high impact aerobics in the past with no issues, and I believe I had…

Making Year 35 a Healthy One! Would Love Some Help...
Hello there! With my 35th birthday coming up next month, I am trying to get back on track and start my journey toward a healthier lifestyle. I am planning on incorporating both weight training and cardio into my all-too-sporadic routine (upper body twice a week, lower body twice a week, cardio 4-5 times a week, and yoga…

Does my goal weight seem too low?
I want to lose about 30 more pounds. Anytime I tell someone this, they always seemed shocked I'd want to lose that much and tell me I'd be too skinny. Is a goal of 115 too low for a 5 foot frame? I didn't think so since in my late teens and early twenties (when I was in the best shape of my life) I weighed between 112 and…

ChaLEAN Extreme Calorie Burn
Does anyone have an estimate of how many calories the ChaLEAN Extreme workouts burn? My suggested caloric intake here is 1200 calories. The food guidebook that came with the program suggests 1400 calories (for my weight). I have been trying to keep it between the two for the past week but was wondering if anyone had some…

ChaLEAN Extreme Question
I currently am doing Slim in 6 but, seeing as this is my fourth time doing it, I am getting bored with the workouts and I am only 1 1/2 weeks into this round. I got an email from Beachbody that had an advertisement for ChaLEAN Extreme. Has anyone tried it? If so - what do you think of it? My husband and I were thinking of…

Exhausted All the Time
I am a mother of three (a 5 year-old, a 3 year-old and a 10 month-old) and I work full-time. My daily routine consists of getting up between 5:30am or 6am (depending on when my 10 month-old decides he wants to get up) and on the weekdays I have to get ready for work (while trying to entertain my little guy) and be out the…

Tell me to step away from the scale...
I have been doing pretty well this first week - only one day did I let lose and slip from my diet. And I worked out for 6 out of the 7 days (40-60 mins each time, cardio/resistance). But I am up half a pound. :ohwell: I know I shouldn't worry since I am only a week into this but it does get discouraging at times. My…

Keeping the curves...
I was wondering if there are any exercises I should avoid if I want to keep some of the curviness to my shape - specifically, my hips and butt. I have a big, rounded butt and I don't want to lose it (my husband has said he'll disown me if I do :laugh: ). I just started doing my Slim in 6 (I've done it twice before) and all…

1200 Calories a Day and Exercise
I have a question, I am trying to keep my calorie intake to 1200 a day. I am also exercising for 40-60 minutes, 6 times a week. My question is, if I still try to keep my calorie count to 1200, will that affect my metablolism in a negative way? I know you earn extra calories for exercise but I have been trying not to use…

Looking for tips for dieting on a budget!
I am hoping someone out there has some good ideas for inexpensive, healthy recipes and diet foods. My family and I are on a pretty strict grocery budget and I cannot really afford to buy myself "extras". I will up the fruit and veggie purchases but from there, I need to know what other snack items out there are both…

What happened to my motivation?
Really - I am wondering where it went. I used to be a workout fanatic. A daily session of cardio and weight training was normal and routine. I'd feel guilty if I missed it. Now, I am too tired and have little time to spare for working out. I am trying to fit 45 minutes to an hour in at night time when my kids are in bed…

Hello from Las Vegas!
Hi everyone. My name is Elyssa and I am a 28-year-old mother of two (ages 3 years and 18 months). Within the past year, I have gained about 20 pounds and lost considerable muscle mass. I used to be quite active (I worked out throughout both pregnancies and regained my shape pretty quickly following the births) but once I…
