When I as doing my personal training my trainer told me only do weights every other day with a 24 hr rest period in between this way you wont bulk up and it gives your muscles a chance to repair. also make sure you stretch afterwards this helps alleviate some of the pain and again prevents you from bulking up. so your best…

I go with a friend to the gym and we chat while we are working out and before you know it your time is up and you haven't even noticed how long it has been. Brenda:bigsmile:

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to know I was doing it alright. I'm also glad to know it will automatically change every 10lbs.:smile: Thanks Brenda

I go into the change goal settings and follow the instructions like I'm setting up a new account and when I'm finished my caloric intake has changed. I started at 196 lbs. with an intake of 1690 calories, now i'm down to 183lbs. and an intake of 1630 calories. My question is, is my calorie intake suppose to change when I…

Does anyone change their goal settings whenever they lose weight? I go in every time I lose and change my present weight. Are we suppose to or just leave the original weight in there? I noticed every time I change my weight setting my calorie intake goes lower, is it suppose to? Brenda

Hey Erin, I too like unicorns. That is a really nice pic. good luck with your weight loss Brenda

I know what you mean I did the same thing the first day I joined and just added what I ate normally and was I ever surprised, I also was eating double my calorie intake. Now I take a little more care in my portion sizes and weigh or measure everything, It's driving my husband nuts but I'm losing the weight. Brenda:happy:

Icus( pronounced ick-us) is a nickname that my husband calls me, its from some cartoon show he used to watch when he was younger and the 1969 is the year I was born.

Viviakay I will look into those soy crisps and boost my milk intake. Going by your formula for protein intake I pretty much get enough protein every day but maybe I have to increase it when working out with weights like mmoran had said. thanks Brenda

Thanks Arianne I was pretty thirsty this morning when I had it done and it was right after I worked out. If I remember correctly when I had It done 6 weeks ago it was in the evening so I probably was more hydrated then than I was first thing this morning. It was 1% higher today than it was back then. Brenda

To Julie - it was done on a Tanita Body Composition Analyzer, you stand on it like a scale and it caculates everything according to your age, weight, gender , height and body type. To Mmoran - Thank you for the advice, I'll try to up my intake of protein. I went back through my food diary and checked my protein intake,…
