Yeah, agree with everyone here. No dryer for those 7's. Anything with spandex will definitely break down from the heat of the dryer if you keep putting them in there after awhile. Now you have me all convinced that I need to go get a cool pair of goal jeans. For all you with short inseams out there, JBrand is a good brand…

I personally don't log my incidental exercise because it's part of your lifestyle. Anything you burn from that is just a bonus! I also look at it as, if I see that MFP ups my calories because of all that logged incidentals, it might just give me permission to eat more. If you're truly hungry, eat some. But otherwise, I'd…

Yeah, I'm sure it can be effective, as it's a weaker strength form of an Rx medication for weight loss, but why risk it? Just because it's a diet pill doesn't give you the right to go eat cheeseburgers and think everything will be ok.... I'd just be careful and follow the guidelines very closely so you don't have any…

I've heard of some bad side effects like the runs if you accidentally go over on fat... I haven't personally tried it but I think I'll stick to a disciplined nutrition plan and P90X. M

Tonight I'm going to Bring It with Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps X, followed by some bonus cardio! I am in need of motivation because I'm dragging *kitten* today! Oh well, once I get started I'm sure I'll be thinking, go big or go home! M

My nutrition and calories are always being tweaked, but since I follow P90X, I make every effort I can to get maximum results. I don’t use the MFP guidelines. Instead, I do a 50% protein, 30% carb, and 20% fat ratio every day. I go over on fat sometimes (those almonds are getting me!), but almost never on carbs. It has…

:wink: I had been following MFP and netting 1200, but I found that it was too much food and that I wasn't bonking during my workouts. So I usually eat about 1400 per day and work off 400-600. I was losing for awhile (5 lbs in 2 weeks) but now I upped them today just to see if it helps get things moving again. I added…

Good article. I'd like to see more articles on this site!

I'd cut the diet soda and the chips for sure. Subway offers side options like apples, yogurt, etc. You can also have your favorite sandwich made into a salad with lots of veggies instead, so you'd get all the good fillings but not the calories from the bread. And what bread you choose at Subway makes a huge difference!…

Hello everyone! Glad to see everyone is checking in and still going strong. Yep, do 5 extra minutes for me because you KNOW I'll love it. Neeter, I am having a similar issue. Not so much with the bloating, but I noticed my stomach is not going down as rapidly as it usually does when I get serious about nutrition. I have…

Way to get rid of that dead weight Mya! Now NOTHING can hold you back, and you get a new wardrobe! New clothes always make me happy:bigsmile:

Hey NeeterSkeeter! Thanks for pushing me to do my workout today, even though it was rest day. Once I got started I couldn't help but Bring It! I feel awesome now. Bring on tomorrow! :bigsmile: Good night everyone! It's been kind of quiet in here today...let's make some noise! Roll Call! Myastyme, Sassie, Sweet, Osmium,…

Awww tweber, You're making me blush!:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: Thanks for the fly-by. I know most people don't have a ton of time to read everything I post, but I know there are some lurkers out there. Sometimes these articles are the kick in the *kitten* we need to get back to it! M

By Tony Horton Here's a question people ask me: "I'm finding that my exercise routine is very intense and I'm seeing the benefits on day 1, so what can I do to stay motivated and keep going?" Most folks struggle with motivation every day. I'm one of them. Motivation can be broken down into a few subcategories. My fifth Law…

The following is an article written by a friend of mine. Using P90, P90X, tears, sweat, and hard work and dedication, Jim has lost more than 135 pounds in about a year and a half. I have never met anyone so dedicated, and Jim is one of the people who inspired me to really get my butt in gear. If a 6'6" mechanical…

Just thought I'd post some articles for those who don't participate in my "Bring IT" thread. These can still motivate and inspire you, so please feel free to post your own articles if you like to write or those that you come across and think are awesome! M

By Michelle Chichester You're working hard to lose the weight and get in shape. You bought P90X®, ChaLEAN Extreme®, Slim in 6®, Hip Hop Abs®, or fill in the blank. For some people, the results they've worked so hard for slowly disappear as bad habits return. Some wonder how "those thin people" can stay that way all the…

Balsamic vinegar! Yummmy. I always order my salad dressing on the side too and then I dip the tines of my fork in and then to my salad. You use much less and get the taste of the dressing on every bite!

Fitness Chick to the rescue again! Great read.

Jess, Question for you. When you did your doubles with running, how much did you bump up your calories? I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm keeping myself at a deficit. I don't find myself bonking during workouts, but I don't want to make my body think it's starving. I do eat every 3 hours with a lean protein at every meal…

This article was posted by Havingitall on another thread. Booya! Exactly what I've been saying all this time. I knew there were others out there who felt like I did. I feel like I could have written this. M

Havingitall, Who wrote this article? I LOVE it and feel like it could have been written by me! Thanks for the great read. I'm going to post it over in the Bring IT thread as well. Thanks again!

Way to go Heater! :wink: Keep it up.

Aww, that's cool that you dropped a few more, but keep in mind how you feel. You probably didn't like the way you were feeling with that junk going in your body! I can guarantee you though, you wouldn't be doing your body any favors by continuing to eat all that candy, weight loss or not! Good luck.

Well team, Today is my rest day and I'm already feeling like I shouldn't take it. But I know my body needs it to recover, so at most, I might do some light cardio tonight. It's pretty nice out so I'll see if I can go for a light jog tonight. The nutrition has been spot-on though, so I won't be feeling guilty if I choose…

5-6 small meals per day keeps your blood sugar more stable and prevents you from that famished feeling. By small I mean 200-300 calories each, depending on your caloric goal for the day. It really helps, and your body comes to expect food every few hours after you've been doing it for awhile. It keeps the metabolism up!…

I totally agree neeterskeeter. Which brings us to question of the day. How do YOU deal with that toxic friend (oh come on, one dessert won't hurt you), that pushy relative (Aunt Greta made this pecan pie "just" for you), those clueless family members (why can't you just eat normally like the rest of us?), and other people…
