Jillian Michaels BodyShred program... worth it??
Hi everyone! I'm looking at purchasing Jillian Michaels' BodyShred program, but I want to hear from people who have done it or are doing it. And if anyone is willing to share before/afters from the program, that's a huge bonus! It's spendy so I want to make sure it's something that works and isn't boring. I'm a huge…

Looking for new moms to lose weight with!
I'm struggling to lose the last 15 of the 35 pounds that I gained while I was pregnant. My daughter is now 5 months old, so I feel like I'm running out of time of using "I just had a baby" as an excuse for the extra weight! I've tried and failed to motivate myself... so i'm looking for other new moms who may also be…

ChaLEAN Extreme/Turbo Fire Hybrid Results
Let me start off by saying, I am proud of what I've accomplished. I am proud that I worked so hard and remained focus for 4 months. But let me also say, I was expecting to see better results. It's entirely possible that I just had too high of expectations, or I may have made bad food choices (although 99% of the time I am…

Looking for other moms to be!
Hi everyone! I'm 18 weeks pregnant (due April 23) and finally looking to get in touch with other moms to be! I was SO great at working out 6 days/week before I found out I was pregnant, and that has now completely dwindled and I'm lucky if I get in 1 workout/week. I just lack motivation and prefer to be in my bed/on the…

JNL Fusion
Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has tried JNL Fusion and if so, what your results/thoughts were about the program. I'm doing this a little backwards since I already ordered the program... just interested in what others thought/think of it. I've been doing home workout programs for over a year now and LOVE them and…

Calories during P90X
Hi everyone! I started P90X on Monday and before I get too far into the program w/ my calories set at what the P90X nutrition guide suggests, I want to check with other females who have done the program... The nutrition guide has me eating 1,800 calories, period. Whether I work out that day or not, I should consume 1,800…

8 months of MFP and Chalene Johnson...
Last night I posted my ChaLEAN Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid results (which I did for the past 4 months), but when I put my day 1 (February 16 2012) pictures, from before my first round of Turbo Fire, next to yesterday's, I was SHOCKED. I can't believe I was that person in the before pictures! .. or maybe I just can't believe…

ChaLEAN Extreme DVDs skip!!!?
I started ChaLEAN Extreme a few months ago and had no problems with my burn and push phases DVDs... however, when I put in my Lean DVD, only 1 of the workouts worked (Lean 1; when I pressed Lean 2 and Lean 3, it just played Lean 1). Beachbody sent me a replacement and I tried to do Lean 3 today and guess what... IT DOESN'T…

Calories... Switching from TurboFire to ChaLEAN Extreme
Hi everyone! I finished the 90 day TurboFire program at the end of May... during the program I had my calorie goal set to 1500 (I ate back my exercise calories for a net of 1500). I'm now doing the ChaLEAN Extreme/TurboFire hybrid, and there is MUCH less cardio in this program. I have no idea how I need to modify my…

Is it possible, or am I crazy??
I started the ChaLEAN Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid program last Tuesday, and similar to what I did during the Turbo Fire program, I'm taking weekly photos so I can see where the changes occurred the most. I took a picture tonight, and to me, my stomach looks 100 times better. Am I crazy... are these 2 pictures different (ie.…

Body Fat Monitor wrong???
Hi everyone! I got a body fat monitor in March and it said I was 24.0% -- at that time I was 132.4lbs and had only been working out for a month. I've now been working out for 4 months, have lost over 7 lbs (I'm now 125lbs), but my BFM says I'm still at 22.7%. I know I'm not losing muscle, because I've only been gaining…

How many calories...
I know there are thousands of posts out there to explain how many calories a person should eat, but sadly, I'm still confused. The Fitness Frog calculator (http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html) tells me that I my total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is 2410 with me doing heavy exercise 6 days a week…

Offroad Duathlon June 10, 2012
Hi everyone! I went crazy and decided to sign up for an offroad duathlon in the Minneapolis area on June 10, 2012. I've run quite a few 5Ks and mountain bike often. However, this duathlon is: 5K run, 9.4mi bike ride, 5K run... all on a single track trail. I know the trail decently well and it is TOUGH. I'm not sure why I…

5 Weeks of MFP and Turbo Fire and 1 lb lost
Hi all.... This has been a frustration for me for the past 5 weeks... I am eating right, exercising HARD (anyone who has heard of/done/seen Turbo Fire knows it's a tough cardio workout) but not losing any weight, as far as the scale goes. Don't get me wrong - I've seen my measurements go down and have noticed new muscles,…

Turbo Fire Start Feb. 21
Hi everyone! It's been too long since I've been on MFP, but here I am! I recently promised my husband an anniversary trip to Cancun (October) and all I want this year is to be able to be proud in my bikini. I've always tried to cover up my body while at the pool, and this year i so badly want to be able to show it off…

Turbo Fire - How long did it take?
Hi All, I'm looking to lose about 10 lbs and tone tone tone! I'm finishing up week 3 of Turbo Fire and honestly, I thought I'd see results by now because the workouts I'm doing are so intense. I've completely changed my eating habits; lots of fruits and veggies, under my calorie goal many days, etc. Over the past 3 weeks,…

Look what I found...
MUSCLE!!!!! I have never seen my back muscles look like this - I am so happy! I haven't lost any inches or pounds since I started this most recent fitness journey 2 weeks ago (and have worked out 2 weeks straight w/ 1 rest day, and under my calorie goal ALMOST every day!)... so, I was feeling bummed. Then I saw these…

I've turned over a new leaf...
I just turned down free Famous Dave's! I just got an e-mail that there is free Famous Daves downstairs that I can help myself to. I don't know what's there, so I can't verify that there's anything decently healthy for me to choose. And, once I'm down there, I know I couldn't resist temptation and would take a little bit of…
