I also started it Aug 17th... and I'm not as sore as I thought I would be, so I guess I'll start using more weight

I'm also not such a regular poster, but I'll be looking forward to hear from you and other CE rookies

MaryTere, I read another post that said you just completed some of Si6.....
Years ago I completed Power 90 and bought Slim in 6 soon thereafter. I've had great results over that past 7 years or so with Si6 (even as recent as last fall), but just completed 4 weeks of the Burn it Up video and wasn't seeing the same results that I always had seen in the past. I wasn't sore even in the beginning. Perhaps my body just got too used to the workout? So, here I am at CE. And I WILL see results with this program!

I am 32 years old, live in TN with my 2 dogs, and love to be outside! I work full time (actually overtime these days since I have 2 jobs at my company)...no complaints though, considering many are struggling with finding work right now. Most importantly, I have a wonderful boyfriend who is very supportive of my workout "obsession".

I took my before pics and measurements but haven't posted either yet...

Well, enough rambling. Lunch is over-back to work

As for me, I did Burn Intervals and Ab Burner this morning at 5 am and Chalene kicked my a$$!!!! I was doing moves that have hurt me like never before (in a good way!) My glutes and legs are really feeling it and that's what I'm looking for!! And that girl, Toni, on BI that's had 7 kids.....WHAAAAAAAA?????? If she can look like that, then I have ZERO excuses since I have no kids.

MaryTere, are you out there?? Have you done Burn Intervals yet? Just curious as to whether it treated you like it did me....
Keep me posted on your progress and I'll do the same, ladies!
So glad you could join us, Angie!

Got a session of Burn Intervals and Ab Burner in this morning. I sweated like a pig and was absolutely worn out by these exercises, had to start at junior level despite the fact that I've been working out for years before I let myself get this far overweight.

It felt really good to sweat like that though and feel that pure exhaustion. I know that by next week there will be a part that I've conquered which had wiped me out this week. As the weeks progress this thing will become easier and easier - I'm looking forward to the journey and the destination

Hello All,

I too just started CX on Monday the 17th. This morning was BC3 and extreme abs....I hear you Christa when you say pure exhaustion.....how much are you lifting? I have been doing wo's for almost a year, I started out with P90X, then SI6 and then went to Turbo Jam....which I absolutely love, love, love and had great results with. I decided that I would like another challenge...a new one so I picked CX because I love Chalene, I think that she is fabulous.

Just to give everyone a little background on my self, I am 33 and I have two children and a very loving....and patient...husband. I grew up in pretty good shape but once I had children and a divorce behind me....I was no longer in good shape. My scales tipped at around 190 lbs at the top. I have yo-yoed up and down for the last few years and once I started BB wo's last October, the scale has been doing nothing but going down...Yeah for BB. I am now at 133 lbs, not really looking to get too much lower but I really need to tighten up what is left from years of neglect. I have also started running and I am trying to train for a run in October and I have also heard that CX is great for getting runners in shape......so we shall see.

So if you are up for it, I would to join your group. I am interested in your forum for the size of it...the big ones that have thousands of posts scare me!! LOL!!

Have a great day.

Hi Everyone,

I hope it's not too late to join you. I'm been reading a lot of message threads and having a hard time diving into one. There are so many of them my head begins to swim. So here I go.I'm ready to join a group and get motivated to WO again. I did CX Burn phase earlier this year in May, but that is as far as I got, and I've been off and on since then. I really would like to complete the 90 days this time. I know the beachbody products work as long as I'm working out to them. I'm been a beachbody customer since 2002. I started with P90. I have also done SI6, and Turbo Jam. I love Turbo Jam and Chalene's energy which is why I purchased CX. I still love Tony too. Anyhow, I woke up too late this morning to WO so I'm planning to start CE tomorrow, Sat Aug 22nd.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Thanks for welcoming me and allowing me to join your group/ like Roni, I don’t care for the larger groups – you just tend to get lost in the shuffle/mix! I want to feel comfortable with the people I’m sharing my workout struggles with!

Christa, thanks for the workout schedule. I almost did Burn Intervals the next day but started having issues with my DVD player. So I ended up wasting more time than necessary trying to “fix” it before I realized I should just whip out the laptop and press PLAY!


I’ll be away this weekend, but will still get in some workouts –tonight, ices kating, tomorrow treadmill in the hotel gym or walking on the bridge. Sunday I’ll be back on track with Burn Circuit 2. So I’ll be more than just a few days behind.

Okay, here’s my brief bio – I’m 44, 5’3”, 132 pounds with three older children. So I have the time both mornings and evenings to do whatever workout I want. I also do water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays, ice skating Friday night and Saturday morning and once the rink opens again on Sundays, I’ll be there in the afternoons to practice. I’d like to get back down to 120 lbs but I’m considering aiming for 115. I know ChaLean can help me with this. I’ve gotten the weight off before – just last fall when I had two big weddings to attend but I think my new meds are keeping the pounds on. Before I used a mix of Firm Tough Tape, running on the treadmill, the elliptical, yoga and Pilates. CE - is my new plan!

Now time to print out 3 months of the calendar so that I can write down the workout schedule. I printed off the training log the other day!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Angie

Christa, thanks for the warm welcome!

No, I haven't taken my measurements. I think there is still an element of fear in me that I might not succeed, so I don't want to get all hyped up by taking my measurements with the possibility that they won't change much. I'd rather just be pleasantly reminded of my progress by the loosening fit of my clothes on me over time.

As for my background, I'm 40 years old with 2 children and a history of pendulum weight fluctuations but hopes of finally having a permanent weight loss.



Take care,

SS

Hi,

I'm new here and started CE on august 12. I did burn intervals and ab burner last night for the second time and still can't believe how hard it is!!

I'm going to take before pictures today and post them if I'm not alone

Can I join if there's a group? How do I join?

Good luck everybody. This program is excellent so far

Good Morning Ladies!!


WOW!! This forum just popped with attendees.....this is GREAT!! I am terribly excited to get to know everyone here and watch our results. I just want to say to everyone......"TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS"....it is soooo important. When I started last October I didn't want to take pics or measurements....I knew I would hate them. But am I ever glad I did because I can look back now and see the changes not only in my clothes but in the pictures and on the paper.....it is a great motivator and it reminds me how far I have come and WHY...oh WHY....I NEVER EVER want to go back.

For my accountability today I got up and did a run....almost 7 km (which for you americans is 4.1 miles)...yes I am a canadian girl ...and i did burn it off and recharge. I am loving this wo, Chalene is great and the wo's are such a challenge.....Christa what did you think of the screamers?? I was screaming!!! LOL!!

So let's take roll call here!! We now have MaryTere, Christa, Rose, Angie, Rockermama, StillStrivin, Cinderella 12 and myself.....is there anyone else I missed?? I sure hope not!! If I did, I am sorry and please correct me. This is going to be a ton of fun!!

I agree that we should find a name.....let's start brainstorming!!!

Alrighty ladies, gotta run, house work doesn't do itself...unfortunately!!! Have an awesome Saturday and we will chat with you soon.

Take care,
Roni
