I know I'm not the person who started this thread ... but I have been doing Turbo Jam (as well as drinking water, and kinda watching the calories) .. In thirteen days I lost seven and a half inches total, and two pounds! May not seem like a lot but I can see the difference as well as everyone else. Plus I feel my muscles every day. : )

So what happened to you,Shica? How is your work going?
Please come back to tell us about you.

You gals all have great and uplifting stories. Stick with your program. Its so nice to see such great support from this community to all. With the great spirit you all have I know you will reach your goals.

I have been doing Turbo Jam every day since Thanksgiving. I can tell I have more endurance, but I have not lost a pound. I weigh 200 lbs now. 150 is the ideal weight for me. I am trying to stick to a 1000 cal balanced diet. I think I am not taking in enough calories. I do best with a diet that tells me what to eat at each meal. I have a big event coming up in April, and I want to be way down on my weight by then.
what do I need to be doing to help this. I can tell you I am getting bummed out about this.

I would for sure up the calories. I am at just over 1,500 calories but for you since you weight less try 1200-1300 calories. Your body probably thinks it is in starvation mode. at 1500 calories I am losing weight without being as active as I need to be.

I am planning on getting turbo jam cause i have heard some amazing things about it. It is just coming up with the money is the hard part as a full time college student. I really just hope it works out for me like so many others.

You should be getting more calories. Kind of off topic, but I remember a few years ago when I was talking to my doctor about losing weight and she told me to do a 1,200 calorie diet to lose. Looking back on that after reading on this forum, my doctor is an ass.

But yea, you need more calories.

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry I fell off the posting horse.

My computer crashed & so did I, time went by and I forgot about my membership here.

I've been so busy. I'll take out time next week to take some new photos in a new outfit to start updating in.

I'll try my best not to fall off the face of the earth again. So far I've lost 17lbs Since my last post forever ago.

I started back working out everyday on Jan. 8th 2009

So I'm off to a New Start Please HELP me stick to it!

Welcome back! Hey, 17 lbs is a wonderful start! The New Year is a wonderful time to get back on track with your weight loss. Do you have an eating and exercise plan in place?

Best wishes on your journey,
ABBA

Oh gosh, I bought T.J 2 years ago, used it twice and stopped but now that I see how much its working for you and others I will go dig out those DVDs and give it another try.

My story is somewhat similar. I'm 25 and 5'4".
Pre-pregnancy: 166
End of pregnancy: 216 (+50)
Found out I was pregnant again 8 mos later: 170 (-46)
Gave birth: 213 (+43)
Stalled and didn't try to lose weight for 6 mos: 190 (-23)
Current weight: 150 (-66 from my highest)
My girls are 12 mos and 29 mos now and I'm thinner and lighter than I've been in probably 3 or 4 years. I used Turbo Jam after my first daughter was born and then again when my second daughter was 6 mos old. I did it 5 days a week and counted calories and it worked! I'm still doing TJ for cardio 3 days a week and Turbo Sculpt and Ab Jam the other 2 days, but I haven't been as careful with my calories lately. I'd like to lose a little more but I'm pretty happy where I am.

It's always nice to find other TJ fans!

Hi - Thanks for sharing your story and your journey. I am started a similar journey (five years of intermittent sadness, tragedy and challenges have left me 60-70 pounds overweight). I would like to continue to follow your journey and share mine as well. This is my first post, so I will get better at this. Right now I am looking for a community of support, advice and guidance.

your story is inspirational, where are you now. It is quite a long time that you have not pasted your pics and story. Please I want to know where are you now, how much have you lost?
