45 vs 45 EZ
Which do you think is harder? I think EZ is..no rests and I'm dying by the time the finale rolls around. You should see my punches. Pitiful..I couldn't knock down a paper bag.

New TurboFire
What have you heard about it? Is it going to be a whole new set of workouts or just a couple new ones to add to the originals (like the advanced workouts)? Either way, I'm excited for something new from Turbo and Chalene!

Lower Carb Vegetarians
Are there any out there? I don't mean low carb, just lowER..I eat waaaay too many carbs (like usually over 200), but I don't really know what to make instead because I'm a vegetarian, so I can't just load up on the steaks and bun-less burgers. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Braces people
I just got braces today, and as far as I can tell, I pretty much am going to die of starvation. I can't have anything hard (which includes pizza crust, apparently), nothing sugary, nothing acidic, and nothing sticky. I have no idea what I can eat beyond mac and cheese and yogurt. When you had them, or if you have them…

Opinion, please
I wasn't able to workout for a few days because of back spasms. I was looking at my schedule (the TF/CLX schedule), and if I do two days' worth of work everyday for the next three days, I can get caught up. I'm pretty confident that I can do it..what do you guys think? Should I go for it or not?

Virtual Walk Across Texas
So, I kinda wanna do a virtual walk across Texas, which means walking 895 miles over time. Anyone with me? I know it's a little crazy, but there's no deadline. You don't even have to walk. You can bike ride, swim, use the elliptical, whatever. I'm going to walk and also add my c25k miles. I did figure out, though, that if…

Turbo/CLX Hybrid
Anyone else doing this? I'm just about done with week 10.

Fellow CLX-ers
http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/training-day/201110/want-train-better-just-train-faster What are your thoughts on this? Chalene says lift heavier and lift slower. This says the opposite..well, not the complete opposite, but enough. I'm sticking with Chalene, though. Whatever she says, goes.

Who are you cheering for this season? The young team (red), the middle age team (black), or the old(er) team (blue)?

Does This Sound Rational?
My boyfriend and I went for a bike ride (5 miles in 85 degree weather). We went without water because initally it was only going to be 2.5 miles. Anyway, there's some bush that sticks out too far and always scratches us. When we got back, I was dying of thirst, naturally. He said "go get your hedge clippers so I can cut…

Just wanted to share
I calculated my percentage of weight lost to date, and I have officially lost 25% of myself! That's it. Thanks for reading. :smile:

CLX/Insanity Hybrid
I have both of these programs and had just started CLX yesterday, but I wanted to incorporate Insanity as well, so I googled and found a hybrid schedule here: http://www.findtheburn.com/2011/07/chalean-extreme-and-insanity-hybrid-schedule/ Today was only week 1 day 2 for me, so if you want to do this with me, it's…

Started CLX Today..
I'm looking for some friends to do ChaLEAN Extreme with me. I just started today, so if you've been wanting to start or just recently started, let's be friends and do it together.

Pick my workout
I can't decide what to do today, but I've narrowed it down to Turbo Jam Cardio Party (40 mins), Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp (30 or 50 mins), or good ol Ripped in 30 (30 mins). What should I do? Most votes wins!

Do you ever wish..
...that you'd thought to buy your favorite clothes in a few sizes? I'm going through my storage so I can get rid of all the clothes that are too big for me. All I keep thinking is "this is cute. I still wanna wear it. Why didn't I buy it in like 4 different sizes?!"

Ripped In 30 starting July 10
Anyone want in? I just finished 30DS with pretty good results (-6 lbs, -15 inches), so I'm hoping RI30 is even better.

What are your goals?
I love today because I'm a big fan of the first day of the month falling on a Monday. It's a fresh start because it's the beginning of the week and the beginning of the month, which means it's the perfect time to re-evaluate your goals (especially if you've been slacking or not seeing results). My goal this month is to…

Advice from teachers
I've been a fully certified teacher since I graduated college in Dec. '09 and have my very first interview for a 6th grade position on Friday. As I've never had a teaching interview, I need some tips. What should I bring? (I have a binder with extra resumes, my philosophy and some lesson plans I've done.) What questions…

Commercial I just saw
So I'm watching tv and up pops a commercial for one of the local hospitals. They were advertising "success stories" for their bariatric surgery. All women whose starting weights were UNDER 260. Their after weights were about 100 pounds less than their starting. This pissed me off so much because every one of them weighed…

I need some Ripped In 30 buddies!
I'm starting tomorrow. Anyone want in?

30DS + C25K starting June 6

Has Anyone Tried...
Bob or Jillian's weight loss starters? I've lost 58 pounds without any fads or pills or anything, and I'm not planning to start now. I'm mostly just curious as to if they worked for you. Jillian has protein powder that I thought about trying, though.

Quick question for runners
Today was w5d3 of c25k for me..the 20 minute run. I finished it; 1.25 miles (slow, I know). Anyway, around minute 14, my feet went completely numb, like I'd been sitting on them and they fell asleep. Just wondering if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this. It's never happened to me before, but then again,…

Depo shot victory
I'm going to preface this post with yes, I know a lot of people have a problem with the Depo shot and its possible side effects, and I know it's not for everyone, but it does work for a lot of women (including me). If you want to tell me about why I shouldn't be on it, I already know the risks, so thanks but no thanks.…

When you started c25k...
Just wondering how many of you who have done (or are far into) c25k were completely new to running when you first started. By new, I mean haven't run since the P.E. coach in middle school made you do it. I'm just curious because I'm on week 2 and haven't run since, well, the P.E. coach in middle school made me :laugh: Did…

Advice from runners, please
So, I just started c25k (finished day 2 today) and I stretched pretty well, especially my calves. When I was done, though, my right calf had some crazy pain that wrapped all the way around to my shin. Now that I've had some time to rest (about an hour), the pain is gone; my calf just feels very tight. What can I do to…

My NSV
At my heaviest, the only workout DVD I had was Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp, so when I decided to start trying to lose weight, that's the workout I did. The short version is 30 minutes, and it has modifications if you need them. I could barely do 15 (with mods, obviously). After some time, I could do the entire half hour,…

It's Not Just Me, Is It Ladies?
I usually workout for an hour 5 days a week with no problem. Yeah, I'm tired after, but hey, I'm working hard. However, when I'm on my period, I'm completely wiped out after just 20 minutes. It's frustrating but I just feel that I physically cannot do anymore. Please tell me I'm not alone here.

Turbo Fire vs ChaLEAN Extreme
I've been doing Turbo Jam for a while, and I'm ready to step it up (well, when I have money..haha). I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the differences between Turbo Fire and ChaLEAN Extreme, your experience with one or both, etc. Thanks in advance!!
