Hi.. I workout daily, keep an open diary, like, and comment. Looking for motivated friends! Feel free to add me..

Add me as a fitness friend! Been active on MFP for over a month now, working out regularly. I try to make time daily to support my MFPals

thanks... I find the closest items in the database and adjust quantities.. and those are often in cups etc. Also have a food scale and cups and measure food in grams now. Ok, I have a calorie deficit and am working out, and when my weight is optimum I'll focus on building muscle. For now I'll keep working out. Every type…

Hello Thanks for your reply and clarifying, IsaackGMOON, about protein powders. I use a whey isolate powder from Cellucor, cor-performance, which seems fine, though I was thinking next time I need one, I could see what choices there are. I currently bought this from a guy who has a shop is a top trainer over here, whom I…

Wake up early and do some yoga for ten minutes... you'll feel great, and you can make it a walk or run, and increase in intensity as you get into the routine.. you will love the quiet early morning and the buzz will be with you all day. And you could take the kids out with you for a walk in the evenings.. they can play…

True.. looking for scale

Thanks! Appreciate the pointers IsaackGMOON.. Now to get a scale.. guesstimating portions won't work I'm seeing..

Hi Lemmie177 Thanks for your reply! I think you are right to suggest taking a rest day. I did and it definitely was required. I love working out! Stress reducing, empowering and I feel great the whole day. Just trying to get strength cardio and stretching in and burn as much as possible. As for overtraining will watch out…

Hi ninerbuff! Thanks for your input over at 'Introduce Yourself '. I've done some research and here is my routine for inspection. New at this so feedback is much appreciated. 25 days on MFP 9 working out. Open diary. GOAL: Fatloss from 166 lb to 100 lb. Just found my macros and shooting for 2010 cal up from 1200 ( fatigue…

Thanks, DvlDwnInGA and IsaackGMOON for the helpful replies! I've adjusted MFP to shoot for 2010 according to these IIFYM figures I got... that's my target for a 20% deficit, right? Ok! so no weighing... I just have to watch nutritional info and study the details for my favorite foods and make it add up like IIFYM says..…

Am doing her mat.. hipcentric.. can feel it working

So what is the truth? What would you advise to someone seriously starting out on fitness? Thanks! And by the way, aside from the beautiful physcial transformation, I think the guts and courage it took to make it happen is just as amazing!

Add me! I give support and encouragement..

P.s will be using the 'Steps' android app, not sure about accuracy, good reviews. I'll find out for myself how long 20k steps take, today!

Hello! is this still on? How long does 20k steps a day take you, on average? I can fit in a two hour walk in the evening, and this seems a great idea! Count me in!

Hi, Mommydie! Great to read your post! So glad to finally find another Tracy Anderson person.. they seem to be few on this forum. Anyway it feels right for me. Pescatarian sounds good... best of both worlds! I agree with you, lots of veggies is great... I was once on only veggies plus eggs, no grains, with lots of detox...…

Look forward to motivating each other... feel free to add me

Hi... that would be me :smile: I have two kids and I work from home. I work out with Tracy Anderson's metamorphosis, I'm doing Hipcentric, and a sort of Atkins / Paleo diet of my own. Add me. I am positive, work out, stick to my plan and will motivate you to do so too..

Tracy Anderson, anyone? I'm doing Hipcentric, and a sort of Atkins / Paleo diet of my own. Add me. I am positive, work out, stick to my plan and will motivate you to do so too..

I'm doing Hipcentric (Day 3). I feel great, with some soreness (the normal 'good' workout pain). I've done weights and aerobics before, and I like her method. Anyone also on this program, do add me as a friend! I work out daily and encourage... What she says about weights: this is what some friends have experienced; if you…

Hi... I'm doing HipCentric, and am logging it as 'aerobics, high intensity'. Don't have any figures for you; feel free to add me if you'd like a Metamorphosis buddy! I generally work out daily and stick to my diets; it's day 3 on this program but I've been exercising for a lifetime. Will cheer you on..

Adding you... you guys can add me too! I encourage and give feedback

Thanks for the input, Ninerbuff; I will definitely look up the experts you've mentioned! I did Tracy's mat workout a few weeks and found it helped strengthen my muscles; which is why I'm starting Metamorphosis. I'll keep you posted on whether it works. It's certainly different, and I get good vibes from her. Not following…

p.s also using the apps Sworkit and Workout Trainer to add variety when I need it, and loving them! For variety I have Zumba, Insanity (bad on knees though) and a bunch of other videos to switch things up. Home gym: dumbbells, ankle weights, books.
