True, you do need to fuel your body. 1240 may be a good number I'm saying you would start off higher than that for a period of time and take.it down to a lower number and so forth to avoid a platue but if you start off at the 1240 to begin with your not leaving yourself room to lower it bc you don't want to go below 1200.…

Healthnut050, it is not natural it is very strong and it is a prescription. Like prettyleelee said one would need to have good blood pressure and I do eat right and drink plenty of water. I haven't been very active but I'm ready to start back up on my exercise, which has never been am issue for me. @prettyleelee where did…

Hello Jdingus, I want to share with you a little about myself and my weight loss journey. In September 2013 I gave birth to my third child. I had bronchitis badly at the beginning and lost weight, by the end I had gained it back in full and some, had gestational diabetes and he was a 9lbs 15 oz baby. A month later I got…

SODA, SWEET TEA, JUICE, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WHITE BREAD'S, STARCHY FOODS, PASTA, IODIZED SALT, OILS other than olive/coconut, SUGAR, I switched out everything from butter's to snacks=Less Calories, Its a life change I'll never go back only improve!

Yeah, must contain Low fructose corn syrup lol! I been seeing what foods have proven effective for others and stick with the basics. Packaged foods can be decieving.

Actually, I lived in Mexico before. Some of the grocery stores sell "Made in Mexico" coke but it is not, i know the taste so I used to buy the glass bottles only from the Mexican stores. However, Pepsi has a lot of cans of "made with real sugar" soda has got me where I am today-_- I avoid it 98% of the time now. Even…

That sounds good, I added lemon and then I went through a cucumber phase. Now I just drink it on my own. It doesn't bother me like it once did. I just like to have a few options sometimes for lunch or dinner, even then I pour a half of a cup and have my water there for backup. I don't ever want to feel bloated or puffy…

Me too! Tons of water and I have been drinking oolong tea for a week now, I love it! Two of my kids love water but my middle child always needs encouraging!

The Berry blend I have in my fridge has High Fructose Corn syrup listed as the second ingredient. Maybe some don't have it, like you might have fruit fusions but even today in the peanut butter aisle. Jiffy had two " different" low sodium or special types but iI stared at the ingredients and the labels looked identical. I…

I have the V8 original cans, those are supposed to be good for you before meals but the actual fruit drinks they are selling I read the labels and its no better than most other juices.

How much water do you drink? My guess is you are dehydrated

That girl on YouTube who ate only fruit loops for like a year. Did tons of cardio and you could clearly see no muscle-_- She has since changed her ways I believe but that's horrible.

Well I am hitting my macros everyday, someone mentioned eating back calories, I have not gone over 1200 a day and I am drinking half my body weight in ounces of water+ per day so even without the workouts I think my body would still be better off than if I wasn't watching what I ate or moving my body as much.

Yes, my machine was giving me readouts between 800-850 calories. The workout was introduced to me on YouTube and the guy on there even says you can burn 800+ calories doing the workout. I am happy with the workouts he shows regardless of if the calories are incorrect. It motivates me, because it's like having a personal…

Thanks Brian

Mr. Knight I Live in Michigan i don't plan to run mile outside anytime soon but I'll keep that in mind if I get access to a indoor track.

Thanks Brian this was extremely helpful. This week I am doing stair exercises anyways, I plan to change my type of cardio and other workouts every week so my body doesn't get used to one motion, should I just use MFP calculation for each workout as a general number. For instance, my 45 minutes of workout minus the…

I am having the same problem as far as going on the elliptical doing a HIIT workout for 45 mins and it saying I burned between 800-850 calories and the person who created the video says the same thing that you should be burning that amount. Which would mean you burn like 200+ calories each set. Why would these machines…

My face is actually the first place I can visibly tell if i am gaining or losing weight. If your face was slim before it will be slim again, even losing less than 50lbs I'm sure youll notice. Stay Away from sodium as much as possible if anything that will help your face not look so chunky!

If I do steady state on the elliptical for say 20 mins it says I burn 190ish calories. I log that, but I don't eat back exercise calories so I don't mind if it's not 100% accurate. So long as you're not eating back 800 calories I don't think it really matters. I'm losing baby weight at the moment, I exercised until 38…

It's a good workout regardless of the fact the calorie reading is false according to others, which does make sense because my sister was telling me she likes to do workouts with the Wii and one day she mentioned how many "caloroes" she burned and her friend(a faithful runner) said there was no way that amount was correct.…

I do not eat the same thing every day/meal. I have simply exchanged the unhealthy items with better alternatives. I also do eat a piece of chocolate if I want chocolate or a small portion of something if I want it only in portion. I'm changing my lifestyle. Not looking for a simple fix but now that I am eating the…

I believe diet is more important than exercise. Its hard when you are used to eating all the unhealthy junk. To be honest I haven't touched my microwave since I have made this change unless it involved instant oatmeal. I am newer to this so I feel like the new clueless girl on the block but I am learning still what kinds…

Thank you guys for imforming me about what I'm thinking I'm burning vs. Actual. Now I need to find a way to really know I want to keep track correctly and

Thanks, a year and a half ago I had gestational diabetes and gave birth to a big baby boy:) I was eating extremely unhealthy addicted to drinking Several fountain size or bottles of soda a day. I cut out soda 8 months ago, I switched to juice and sweet teas (temporarily) now I am finally avoiding fast food completely,…

Yes, exactly why I'm worried about not getting enough. I wish I could afford a nutritionalist so I wouldn't have to guess if my meal plan for the day is a smart one. I still am trying to learn how much % carbs protein and fat I should be following:(

I don't lean on the bars, my elliptical isn't like his. I might look into getting a heart monitor, obviously its the best way to be accurate. Who would want to brag about false accomplishments? You have to be honest with yourself because it shows when we look at our reflection. However,he didn't come through YouTube last…

Fastest Way to Lose Weight = This 40min HIIT Elli…: http://youtu.be/qbk0QAzw0Qc You can try it yourself if you like. I'm not asking anyone if they think the workout I'm doing isn't working just want to make sure I am not depriving my body energy.

Fastest Way to Lose Weight = This 40min HIIT Elli…: http://youtu.be/qbk0QAzw0Qc This is the link to the 45 min workout, I started with his easier ones. i am not just on the elliptical at a natural stride.

Yes, I am planning to mix up my exercise routines and I agree a rest day is needed. Also, I AM burning 800-850 calories on the elliptical doing this exercise. Not only because my monitor says it, or that he says that's how many I'm burning I am sweating like crazy more than I have in the past by jumping on the elliptical…
