sorry had to.0 -
Anyone planning on doing anything specific? ie body for life, p90x?
I plan on just watching what I eat and doing standard things like cardio and weight training using a variation of body for life0 -
Just hoping to get to the gym 4x a week and be more mindful of what I'm eating. Keep my protein up. Keep my sugar and carbs low.0

i plan to do 30 day shred
ialso can tell all of you how to get the videos for free
like hip hop abs
yoga
6 week six pack
let me know who wants em0 -
I am planning on just doing the gym, and really maintaining what I am eating. Hopefully the gym will be at least 3 times a week.0

30 Day shred, tae bo, walking, hooping - I'm actually looking forward to starting and getting a routine going! 0

I don't plan on joining a gym. I plan on doing all my exercise at home or outside walking. I have an exercise bike that I plan on hitting hard. I'm also going to put the wii fit plus to good use. I have a kettlebell and a workout video that goes with it. Utube is a great place to find workouts when you get bored with your routine.
Andshrinking... I'd love to know how to get video's for free. Hip hop abs sounds fun!0 -
I'm doing the Nerd Fitness plan It's pretty simple -- and NOT a video. I love it because I can have TV going or inspirational music in the background. 0

I'm starting Insanity on Monday. I've finished the program once before with amazing results....so thought I'd give it a second go around. I had a partner last time who kept me motivated - doing it on my own this time! Hopefully, I can keep the same motivation going.
Another goal is to log EVERY day!! Not just when I'm eating well.0 -
I'm really specific in my "plan" - weight-train M/W/F with 10-12 minutes of HIIT afterward and HIIT - 20 minutes on T/Th. Stretching after every gym session. Saturday - maybe HIIT, but probably steady-state cardio class. Sunday = rest and yoga/stretching.0

Thanks for the link! Looks like I will be able to vary my workout a lot with this site!0

I'm starting the 17 day diet- it's 4 cycles, 17 days each cycle. A coworker followed this and wow! RESULTS. Doing this with a three to four day elliptical training...hopefully I"ll be smaller by spring.0

I do variations of a bunch of methods lol a bit of a health junkie when it comes to reading etc. I'm also part of tone it up community. It's okay but Mfp has a better community app. There's just somethings I do and don't.... I like the gym environment it works for me. I also have a pretty good DVD workout collection. I would like to get some new home equipment tho... Bosh ball, gravity straps etc. But its okay til then.
Mycarb protein fat ratios are 40 35 25
I do like food combining methods. Protein with carbs. Natural fat only.. Whole cheese heck yes!
And milk after working put mmmmm0 -
So, I know we're going for the greatest percentage of body fat lost, but I'm just wondering how you measure that?0
-
I am starting 30 day shred tomorrow as well...maybe we can keep each other posted on how things are going on the different days...any bit of motivation helps!0 -
I too am doing the 30DS plus 20-30 min daily walks....Thanks for the links by the way!0

okay so int he beginning everyone will give me their start weight
so lets say you are 200
and another person is 300
200 lb person loses 20 lbs
300lbs person loses 21 lbs
so 200 - 20 is 180. 180/200 = .90 meaning they lost 100%- 90% which is ten percent of their body weight
300 - 21 is 279. 279/300 = .93 meaning they lost 100%-93% which is seven percent of their body weight
so the amount of pounds wouldnt matter. the person who lost 10 percent would win0 -
Which sucks if you are gaining muscle. But thats hard to measure.
So if you are doing a lot of lifting do not get discouraged!0 -
I hate to point this out - and I'm not being critical, but andshrinking's calculation is based on percentage of body WEIGHT lost, NOT percentage of body FAT lost.
Body fat % IS much more difficult to calculate. But, here is ONE website (there are several) which has boxes you can fill in to determine what your body fat % is (now) - and then again as the challenge goes on to measure progress:

It is really hard to calculate, I wouldnt even trust a website to do it, that's why I went with the body weight calculation
But if someone loses more than 10 pounds it cant really be blamed on water weight so most of it should be fat, unless you lost an arm or something... which would suck.
I hope i didn't accidentally give anyone the impression it would be a body fat loss challenge, i just cant measure that0 -
I don't think you left that impression, andshrinking....
It's just that your response (up above thread about 7 or 8 posts) was to someone who was wondering, specifically, about body fat % loss, that's all.
I agree with you, 100%, that body fat is challenging to calculate. But, I would also hope you would agree that losing weight might not mean losing body fat....a LOT of muscle is lost when losing weight.
So, you might be 10 lbs. lighter, but your body fat composition might not have changed much, if at all, because you've lost mostly muscle.0 -
I have one of those handy dandy thingy mebobs that measures it but I seriously take it with a large graind of low sodium salt. It gives me a progress though. If I am losing weight and working out the % DOES go down but I put it in the + or - a few % zone.
I want to reiterate that the weight loss percentage is the right way to go for the challenge, I was voicing my opinion that it could suck for those gaining muscle 0 -
Yes, I do not think I will win this *challenge*, because I am trying to lose body fat %. But, being a part of a *challenge* group remains very helpful, because it helps (me) with ACCOUNTABILITY!
I'm very keen to see who will be the *winner* based on weight loss percentage - always fun to follow along!0 -
We could all be winners!!!0

my plan is to be consistent.
weekends cannot be my free-for-all, it undermines the hard work i will do M-F.
eat within my MFP constraints and go to the gym (even when i just want to go straight home from work) 4 times a week.
instead of rewarding for long hard weeks with brunches and milkshakes, i can reward with things i need like rest and new shoes!0 -
That's a good one!!!! Rest and shoes are def going to be the top of my listmy plan is to be consistent.
