Thank you for the great advice. I can't wait to start and I understand what you mean about how you look and change your body and not looking a the lbs.. I was told to eat more when I start the P90x...I just don't know what it up it too. I know it will be more then 1500. Being so close to my goal has been frustrating…

Thank you! I am so afraid of gaining muscle! I heard about the muscle retaining water so I know what to be prepared for. I will give it more time.

Thank you all for the great advice. I made my diary public so you can see how I eat. I do eat a lot at 1500 and at times I'm not hungry at all. For those of you who asked about me I am 43 133lbs and I'm 5'2. My goal is 120. I try not to weigh myself but I wanted to see if this worked. I know it has only been a week so I…

It's so frustrating because i'm thinking how do I lose weight without a deficit? So she has to be right but my body is not happy. I don't feel like I am doing this right. She made it seem like I won't lose if I eat them back but the other day I consumed 1500 calories but my net was under 1000. My husband said that I need…

LMAO!!!

Not at all! It's personal and you do what you feel comfortable with. Btw...I'm getting my wrist tattoo soon too!

maybe its your diet? do you eat enough calories? I had to bump mine from 1200 to 1500 and I finally started losing since I started the shred. Also, drink lots of water!

I am so happy to hear that. I will stick with it!!

THank you! I am on day 2 and feeling ok so far.. Maybe this time I will have success! I see a lot of people do great and I am happy to hear the sucess stories. Just praying my thighs go down! btw,...I am drinking tons of water now. Hope that helps

I eat all day long! I really have to eat a lot to reach 1500 espcially when I workout and have to add on more calories. Some day I'm buring 350-500 calories. I can't fit all that food. I never feel hungry because I have to eat so much. I track every little thing I eat. I even put in my aloe juice, fiber, vit etc. I drink…

:heart: I am 43! feel free to add me

I have been eating back my exercise calories but I'm getting bigger. thats why I am so frustrated..

thanks, I will try that. so frustrating! Can't figure out if i'm eating too much or not enough. Last year I did the same thing and I was down to 129! so confusing

good luck! me too! feel free to add me...we can keep each other motivated!

Thank you....Do they go down after you get use to it?

It's the best feeling! you actually feel a high. I had it for the first time about a month ago when I ran 5 miles for the first time. You will know it when it happens

feel free to add me!

I am starting it again tomorrow but I am afraid because last time I got through a week my thighs felt huge and my jeans were so tight..anyone bulk up after doing this workout. I am afraid to try it again

I am starting the shred tomorrow (again)! I stopped the first time because my thighs were getting bigger instead of smaller! My jeans were so tight! Anyone else have this problem?? I am afraid to try it again but I really liked it!

Hi Katie, don't give up! You can do it....we all have our times where we struggle. I am going through that right now myself. I started at 1500 calories and lost weight and joined MFP. They had me set to 1200 calories! I gained 6 lbs!! Way too low and I'm 5'2". I am at 1500 now and its slowly coming off. I don't weigh…

Is it just for men or is it for women as well? I keep hearing thats its for men

feel free to add me!

I watch Dr. Oz as well and I ordered the 7-Keto only to find out it interacts with birth control and was advised by the company who makes it not to take it. Also, I tried Relora and it worked for a day then I became very depressed after three days and stopped taking it and I feel great again. PLEASE do research before…

Hi, you should try this site to get your accurate BMR and it will help you figure out how many calories you should be eating to lose weight. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ MFP had me at 1200 calories and I haven't lost a lb. Following this site I have changed my calorie intake to 1500. I also eat my workout…

I have the FT7 and I love it!! Highly recommend it

I am so happy I read this. I have been trying to figure out why I am not losing weight. I workout 6 days a week as well and I can't lose a lb on 1200. I am going to up it to 1500 and see what happens!

I have upped my a bit too. Not losing anything on 1200. Trying 1400 and see how it goes.

I am only on my third day so I'm not sure yet. I do like being able to see my deficit. This method seems to keep me on track

Hi, thanks for the help. I was able to figure out my BMR (1203) and I have it set now so I can see my deficit. All the numbers and all the posts I read yesterday my head was spinning.. I do log my calories, and exercise calories. I run outside a couple times a week and I run/elliptical every morning and doing 30 day shred…
