Thank you so much guys!!! This really helped alot!!!

what is your current workout regimen?? There are a few I have been doing, whick kick my butt, and I know it will kick yours as well :). Also another thing you could maybe try to do is keep your diary opem so that you can get some help there as well!!! Thanks for accepting my Fr!

I recently became obssesed with the scale and I use to weigh myself 3-4 times a day and get very discouraged at the numbers. Last week the scale showed me a gain of 6.6 pounds. I did not go on the scale for the rest of that week because I felt so down. This morning I went on it, and it's minus the 6.6 pounds. I feel alot…

I normally do steamed veggies like broccoli, carrots, snap peas with baked chicken. I also do grab and go salads with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and shredded chicken or turkey pastrimi. I do a light dressing most times. Soups are also great when in a hurry. You just put all your veggies in your pot, and you can even…

You should start seeing some weight dropping very soon. It has worked for me :).

Hey just to add my little two cents. If you say that you are logging accurately and that your calorie goal is 1200 calories, you might not be eating enough. You seem like you exercise a great deal, and remember that you are burning calories when you do so. If you are logging correctly try upping your calorie goal to losing…

Take a look at the bigger picture. Look for what drives you deep down within. The same thing that drove you to start this journey might no longer be sufficient to sustain you. If your goal/drive was to fit into sexy clothes, bikinis, or for your partner to love you more then you need to search deeper within you. You can…

I do cardio with Jillian's workouts once a week, and the rest is plain walking or jogging. I love her body revolution workouts so much. It has circuit, resistance and strength training all in one. Thats the reason why it is sooo intense but worth it. I think I am going to try p90x. I heard people are talking about it, and…

Thank you so much. I will definitely try getting a food scale to ensure that my logging is accurate as soon as possible.

Ok thanks much. When you say really pushing yourself, does it include the modifications that she gives sometimes, or going all out and doing it the same way she does it?

yes i have terrible cravings as well. I notice them a few days before it happens. I tend to eat any and everything which really sucks. When my period arrives, I no longer feel like eating since I now have to deal with stomach aches and lose my appetite. I guess it balances off pretty well, because I am at a deficit once it…

I am 5 ft 7 and weight roughly 151 pounds. If you burn atleast 350 cals at your weight when giving it your all, then since Im heavier I should burn a bit more right? I wouldnt go over the 500 cal mark, but I give it my all during her workouts.

Yes thats an investment that I need to make pretty soon. I need to invest in a food scale, and a heart rate monitor. Im pretty sure if I had these tools handy, I would not be asking these silly questions :)

Just to give a heads up the 1800 calorie goal for me in MFP is if I want to lose 0.5 pounds every week as per the stats I put in. I tried to bring it to maintainance to see what the numbers would look like and it has me over 2000 calories. I just wanted to be sure what views everyone had on eating that amount of…

Ok I really appreciate all the responses that I have been getting. About how long you guys would recommend me staying at 1800 calories. Should I assess it after a week or two? Maybe a month?

Wow that's pretty cool. Last night I did her body revolution work out 12 for 36 minutes, and then I did her killer abs right after for 32 minutes. Thats a total of 68 minutes. So you saying that the burn would be about 600 calories?!!! That would be so awesome!!!! I always tell myself that I burn no more than 350 calories…

I have read so much about eating under 1200 calories and going into starvation mode. That is something that I never want to do to my body. That is the reason why I believe I should increase it. You see the thing is I dont log any exercise calories when I do my intense work outs. The only exercise calories I log is if i go…

I appreciate your quick responses. I am stoked! Thanks much. I will open my diary so you guys can take a peek at how I normally eat. This should give you a better way of answering my questions.

Wow all this stuff about maintaining has me wondering whether I should maintain at my current 149.6 pounds. My start weight was 210 pounds. I really think I should give it a shot to see if I will go down atleast another 5 pounds. If I do, then I will try to maintain from there. Great thread by the way, enjoyed reading…

thighs and legs (calves). I have always had big hips and thighs.

imm 24 feel free to add me!!! :)

Wowwww great stuff!!!!!!

Everytime I go to the bathroom which is often since I drink a lot of water, I do about 20-30 squats in my heels. I sink my butt low down, and I feel the burn :)

yuck shredded baked chicken

I wanna go on the beach and feel super confident in my swim suit with my six pack abs, toned legs, thighs and arms :).

have an apple with some peanut butter. It tastes really good, and the protein from the peanut butter keeps you fuller longer. I also have some soda bix crackers with about two slices of turkey pastrami or any fruit eg. banana, frozen berries, yogurt, tea also helps fight hunger pangs before dinner. All the best!

I use to be the exact same way until after I got married. I could not get nothing in my stomach until after 10 or 11 in the morning. And lunch around 3. Now since I work out every morning from after the wedding my body is calling for breakfast very early. If I am up at 6am, breakfast is at 6:15 and workout from about 6:45.…

woohoooo!!!! Yes we can!!! Weekends are always the times when you feel like splurging and eating what you feel like. For me personally if I want it I have just a tiny bit, and fit it into my calorie goal :).

how do I join?
