Hi, all! I'm finishing up SI6 this week, will take a recovery week and then begin Chalean Extreme on 11/23...just in time for Thanksgiving! :p Join in the fun and let's keep one another motivated and updated on the journeys we are all partaking.

Yours in fitness,

Coach Tressie

I tooootally agree when it comes to chalean extreme being more appropriate for us women compared to p90x, i thoght the same thing! Hi to teh both of you! I'm Nastasya, everyone calls me Nas, and I'm beginning hte chalean extreme on 11/22!!! I'm supposed to be getting it in the mail no later than 11/20, so I'll be watching the dvd's and stuff from then till the 22nd. My current story is on my profile page, take a read so you can get to know me as a new bussy!! I need all the motivation I can get eve though I'm just 22!! I'm really hoping this is it for me when it comes to really motivating me to get back into shape! I purchased the regular package of chalean extreme as well as its deluxe package, so let's motivate each other to make this a true investment and reall worth the money on helping us to transform our lives!! I need sooo much motivation to get going, and have realized that support is so much better than going by it alone! I'm also new to tam beach body also and have just joined!! Yay for us wiling to commit to the chalean extreme!!! I'm really praying this is it!!!! -Nas <3

That is so great!! Sooo nice to have buddies for a support system asI begin this journey and hopefully life transformation as well!!!!

WooHoo! The more the merrier! Thanks for joining in. I'm so excited...I can hardly wait to finish SI6 so I can get started with CE.

Hey ya'll!! I just finished slim in 6 and love the results!! I have already started CE - on the 9th. I wish I would have waited to be on the same page as everyone else - but Oh well. You guys don't mind if I stick around here do ya? I enjoy posting on the boards - and it helps me to feel like other people are doing it with me. It's only a 2 week difference anyway. CE is so far so goood. - Now hurry up and get here 11/23 !!!

omgoodness yes!!!!! How wonderful is this!!! So hotbodiedixie glad to see u liked slim in 6, maybe i'll end up getting it for my friend then afterall!! and as for sweet, nice to have you with us!! I'm getting my package in the mail no later than the 20th (next week), so will be starting just a day ahead on 11/22!!! Soooo psyched!!! Yes let's keep the support going so we can all succeed!!!

Okay...I just posted a big long message, and it didn't show up.

Anywho! Hotbodydixie and Sweets7, we are sooooo glad to have you wonderful ladies. Hotbodydixie, I guess you are our guinea pig (LOL) since you've already started CE. You will be a great resource to let us know what to expect.

I am going to try to make a chart for us to show who is exercising daily throughout our journey. I think it is motivational to see our progress (kind of like a star chart we used to get for doing chores when we were kids). I think it would be great for each of use post our accountability daily, starting 11/23, such as "Accountability 11/23: Burn Circuit 1" and don't forget to sign your name or screen name. On Monday of each week we should maybe post our goals for the week. I think that stating what we plan to do helps keep us accountable (at least it helps me to write it down). Before pics, and 30 Day, 60 Day, and 90 Day pics would be great, too, so we can each see how we're progressing. My profile page pics (2 weeks into SI6) don't even show my head because I was too embarassed and ashamed to show my face. Not any more...I'm not looking back other than to compare how much I've improved.

I'll try to throw in some dietary discussions, too, because we know that you can workout til the cows come home, but if you keep eating high fat and high-carb/sugar foods, the fat on our bodies will not decrease.

If you like, let's post where we are from so we can get to know one another better. I am originally from Louisiana, but have lived in Western Kentucky for nearly 12 years. I am a certified nurse midwife and have 3 wonderful children: Faithe is 18, Seth is almost 14, and Dawson is 4 1/2. My step-son Alec is 11, but he doesn't live with us.

BTW: Is anyone else planning to replace a meal a day with Shakeology as I'm planning to do?

Great to have ya'll aboard!

Coach Tressie

WOW midwife this is all so great!! And thank you so much for the comments on SI6!!! Same to you tlm225!! Yes see my worry too was that i would get bored with the workouts as well, but i will definitly talk to my friend more about it to see what she really wishes to accomplish! Me and her are both on weight watchers as our dietary needs go (i went from 148 to 108 in 4 months on weight watchers when I was 14), but I need a great workout that will get me back on track and the ChaLean Extreme seemed to be it!
Well, I am 22 years old as of October 28th. I also work full time as the accounting assistant of the VP Controller for Fox Television Stations here in New York City right across the street from Rockefeller Plaza!! I also go to school full time at Baruch College (VERY prestigious college here in the city) for my bachelor's in accounting, and if THAT wasn't enough, I can also sing!!! (www.myspace.com/nastasyarose, the "At Last" track was my favorite to record) and I am really not terrible I guarantee you!!! LoL But I do not have the confidence to really get into it because I am not happy with my body. Slowly since I got off of Weight Watchers years back as a teenager, I slowly gained the weight back, and over the past 8 years got back to a whopping 20 pound gain average since 108 pounds, and am now reteaching myself how to eat properly but REALLY doing my best to apply it this time with more maturity.
But I know that i need a fitness transformation for sure !!! And I have had no motivation before this whatsoever so I felt this to be perfect for me!!!
My current story is also on my profile page as well for anyone that wishes to check it out! But I got so inspired and typed so much on here already, I think this is enough!!! haha!! I'm really happy that I have found this group, felt a little too intimidated to start a group of my own.
So! Cheers to better lives everyone!!! Let's prep our minds for the real deal!!!

I started today. I watched the information DVD's yesterday and today was my forst official workout I did the burn 1 and the Yoga..

I wont give away the joy for anyone..but I am very happy! This is going to be great.

Welcome readingpa! I just "listened" in to the chat with ChaLean tonight and I think you were there too.

I just wanted to share what I noted as am important point Chalean made about doing cardio when someone asked. Now I may not have her exact wording, but basically, the program is designed for results, but for optimal results, Cardio 6 days a week and strength training 3 times a week. Why wouldn't you do cardio 6 x's a week she said..30 minutes is enough and do something you enjoy.

Based on this I may be adding some other cardio during out training together as I don't think it is set up this way. Need to read the ChaLean book to be sure I guess!

And everyone sure does rave about Shakeology. Chalean was great and I think this is going to be awesome!!
