I LOVE THIS RESPONSE!

bump. i wondered this too when considering the tdee thing...

thanks!

sorry but you must! now that i've only got less than 15lbs to lose, i've set my goals to lose 1/2lb a week but since i wasn't logging fruits, i was actually eating at maintenance and didn't lose any weight. luckily i wasn't gaining either. but i was so confused until one day i realized the two bananas i was eating were 210…

i finished week 1 yesterday! YAY US!!!

we did that one day in muscleworks class and i loved it. i believe it would create great results. you should try it!

it depends but 20lbs is my current max for shoulder presses. one in each hand. i can only do 8 reps. less for biceps curls and tricep work

that's actually super awesome. temptation and fun activities that you used to pig out at are hard to resist. nice job!

hi, congrats on your success so far :) i would try more strength training. do have access to a gym or weights? if so, look up a routine to try for a few months. you will probably gain a few pounds from muscle and water but you will start to change the composition of your body. are you counting the calories in your protein…

work out videos. i like jillian michaels. it is circuit training that mixes cardio and moderate weights.

i've only done w1d1 too. it was hard but i loved it even though i have terrible shin splints! one thing that i think will help is running slow. dont' feel the need to be fast. if you're not walking-you're running :)

you can log it on here as circuit training. i have a HRM and i get approx the same numbers. just make sure to only log the time you're actually working. don't include breaks :) alot of ppl will say buy a monitor but they're expensive. mfp is a good estimator IF you log it right

it should be good for a beginner. i finished stage 1 and wasn't impressed but i've lifted before so this turned out to be too easy even though i was lifting heavy.... good luck to you. congrats on ignoring the scale :)

just have to wait it out :( i've been trying to lose my gut too. otherwise i look great! lol

so so true. i needed to read that. thanks

i agree to get the new rules. i loved it but have lifted before so i'll have to adjust it to work for me. but it's highly informative. includes a lot of information about strength training and the point of it. also has routines and pictures i believe stronglits 5x5 would be too much for a beginner...

my mother has gastroparesis! (paralysis of the gastric system) i've never known of anyone else with it but she has an online support group (just for the disease, not diet/fitness) she doesn't eat very much anymore, uses tpn for nutrition, cannot exercise because she doesn't have enough calories to burn. she lost almost…

i kinda thought it was easy (i've lifted before) try doing heavier weight. don't change the reps/sets listed in the book

bump! i'm in the same boat. i'm going to try to mix it up. i'm bored with my usually cardio anyway. i suggest everyone try lifting weights. even if you don't lose weight, you'll look better and better over time :)

bumpity bump!

i was hoping you asked the question i have... i'm absolutely confused by what they mean by intervals. i'll be started stage 2 next week and i have no idea what i need to be doing in addition to to the weight lifting... can anyone help me? thanks

congrats!
