Turbo Fire: Is it normal to gain weight after starting?
I posted this in the fitness section, but no one is responding. Hopefully I get a response here. Here is my week 1 Turbo Fire pic (please excuse what I'm wearing) I take weekly pictures to see how I'm progressing. I actually gone up 3 lbs since starting Turbo Fire. Went from 115 to 118 :sad: I honestly don't know what that…

Frozen yogurt- great alternative to ice cream
I put two yogurt cups (with a popsicle stick in the middle) in my freezer last night. I just took one out and it is amazing! It doesn't replace ice cream (what will?) but they're a delicious treat without the guilt.

What to eat at a Mandarin Buffet?
I have a dilemma. On Sunday, after my nephew's baptism, my family and I will going to a Mandarin Buffet. I looked online for the nutrition info so I could plan ahead but found nothing. Should I just eat whatever I want and forget about portion control? I haven't gone there since I was 7 years old. Is there anything healthy…

TOM & mood swings
It's two days before my TOM and I'm in a cranky mood. My body is sore from last night's workout and I'm having cravings for chocolate. I don't feel like working out today, but I will for the feeling I get afterward. Anyone else having an equally sucky day?

Do you measure/ weigh your food?
Personally speaking I weigh everything- including vegetables (except black coffee and spices) on my Taylor food scale and log every bite that goes into my mouth. My family finds it a bit obsessive, but I beg to differ. I can't seem to eyeball portion sizes even after weighing my food every single day for 5 months. Isn't…

What stores in Canada sell resistance bands?
I'm shopping for one and have no clue where to find them. I don't want to order online because of the shipping. And how do I know which level is right for me? I read they come in different tension levels and I don't want to pick one that I can't use.

Name your other reason for working out? (beside looking good
I suffer from depression and I admit there are days when I have to force myself to get into my workout gear. When I skip my workout my mood takes a nose dive. This sets me up for a binge fest and I end up feeling worse than I originally did. The only thing I've found that curbs my depression and anxiety is exercise. If I'm…

Holy cow, crazy calorie burn
I just finished turbo Fire 45 and burned 573 cals in 40 mins. And get this, I didn't even get through the entire workout. I quit when there was 5 minutes left on the ticker. That's 173 cals more than any Turbo Jam workout. The upside to this, I get to eat more :laugh:

How hard (or easy) is the transition from Turbo Jam to Turbo
I decided to order Turbo Fire instead of Hip-Hop Abs (hopefully I made the right decision). I've been Turbo Jammin since the beginning of June. I have no problem keeping up with Chalene and the rest of her crew. However, as much fun as I am having doing the workout, my calorie burn is decreasing as I continue to lose…
-
Has anyone tried Hip Hop Abs?
I've been doing Turbo Jam for a month+ and have lost 4 pounds. However, I'm noticing that my calorie burn is getting lower as my weight goes down. When I first started I burned around 430-450 cals for a 40 minute Cardio Party. Now I'm only burning 350-370 cals. I think it's time to switch my workout routine. I'm thinking…

What gives?!! Should've lost more.....
I created a weekly deficit of 2950, but I stepped on the scale this morning and had only lost 0.2 lb. I've been consistently losing 0.8 lb a week. I didn't go over my alloted sodium intake (1,169 mg) so I doubt that I'm retaining water. I went from 117.2 to 117...hardly any difference.

Almond Breeze- What flavor is best?
I want to substitute Almond Breeze for skim milk in my oatmeal. Is there a particular flavor you recommend? You get 2 for $5 at ShoppersDrugMart. I'm definitely going to buy the original unsweetened kind, but I'm not sure what flavor to buy for my second one. I can't decide between vanilla or chocolate.
-
Why am I burning more cals?
I'm noticing a pattern with my workout log. On days when I eat something (usually a small snack) and wait an hour or two before working out I end up burning more calories. Whereas when I do my workout right after eating, my calorie burn is way down. Is there a reason for this?

Craving days before TOTM
For some odd reason, I get these bad cravings for chocolate, candies, and salty chips when I'm about to get my period. It's so frustrating because I eat pretty decently the rest of the month. But when Aunt Flo is her way, I get intense cravings for sweets and fatty junk food. Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you still workout even when you don't want to?
Today is just one of those days where I am so incredibly tired and don't feel like doing anything beside lay on my couch and watch TV. It's not that I'm not seeing results, I am. I lost 1.7 pounds last week after exercising 5x a week. But today, I'm lacking motivation. My sis-in-law is skinny but eat fast food almost every…

Any food you're addicted to at the moment?
I'm addicted to oatmeal. I eat the plain kind without the added sugar and flavoring. I add my own fruits such as bananas and strawberries. So yummy!!! It taste so much better than cereal. I'm also obsessed with tuna salad and boiled eggs. What kinds of food are you guys addicted to at the moment?

Rest day: Calorie intake
I work out 5 times a week and burn about 400-500 calories per workout. I've set up my profile and classed myself as sedentary. This gave me a 1200 calorie target. On workout days, I try to eat back all of my exercise calories; however, there are days in between when I'm 50-100 calories under my net goal. My question is for…

Do you ever feel embarassed being seen exercising? (home,gym
My mom just walked in while I was doing Turbo Jam and I'm so embarrassed. There was only 10 minutes left in the workout and I couldn't continue because of the embarrassment. I don't know why I feel insecure about working out. I'm not doing anything wrong, but I can't get past the feeling that they're judging me.

Should I lower my weight loss to 0.5 per week?
I don't use the nutrition/fitness tracker here (too confusing); mine is set up on sparkspeople. It gave me a range of 1200-1550 calories per day. I'm usually on the higher end of my calorie intake, around 1500. Anyway, my weight loss goal is set up to lose 1 lb per week. I'm 5'1" and aiming for somewhere between 105-110…

Menstrual Cramps
Every time I start my monthly cycle, I'd end up with really bad cramps in my stomach that last 3-4 days. All I want to do for the whole day is lie down in my bed, which is not a problem since I'm on break right now, but that's beside the point. I'm supposed to work out today, but the discomfort in my stomach is preventing…
