  • I've only been counting my calories since January but at the beginning I had the same issue. I drank protein drinks (protein powder with water + ice) but as I got used to adjusting my diet, I'm able to meet the protein minimum w/o the protein powder. For example, for breakfast I used to have 1 egg. Now I'll do 2 eggs or 1…

  • I've done T25 in the past and I loved/love it! Yes, those double-days look scary. =) I did the 2nd workout on the following day too. I've always had issues with my core being weak and I definitely noticed increased strength there after doing T25. I went with the modified versions many times and even now, I'll have to do…

  • I'm doing the "new rules of lifting for women". I just finished Stage 2 (there are 6 stages). I lift 3 days a week per the recommendation of the program. There are 2 different workouts for Stage 1-3 (not sure for the other stages as I haven't taken a peak at them just yet). The workouts target large muscle groups so it…

  • I've done T25 until very recently and I like it alot. I'm doing New rules of Lifting for Women (NROLFW) now. I'm adapting some of the exercises b/c I'm doing it from home. I'm loving this one too. Totally has my heart rate up during the workouts.

  • I could sit at my desk all day but like others, I try to get up a move every 30 minutes. My goal isn't to squeeze in more exercise but to move. I too saw an article that sitting for long hours without getting up is bad for you. I would walk to the kitchen to get more water, or when I'd go to the bathroom I would do 10…

  • I think a lot of people posted some very good info but I wanted to chime in on weighing yourself. I'm still really new to MFP and logging (2.5 months) and up until 2 weeks ago, I was weighing myself every day AND recording it. Hubby suggested I weigh myself every day but only record it once a week. He's been doing it that…

  • I'm dealing with this same exact thing today! Birthday party for my niece last night and we went out to eat. Ate cheesecake AND ice cream. I was planning on having a teeny bit of the cheesecake and no ice cream. =( I'm not sure what to do here either...The least I will be doing is to eat as I normally would. I wish I could…
