I love this thread! I have a CD I burned years ago... STILL does it for me every time. My favorites are: Feelin' Love - Paula Cole Mad About You - Hooverphonic Snakeface - Throwing Muses Hey Pretty - Poe Paper Bag - Fiona Apple Criminal - Fiona Apple A Mistake - Fiona Apple You Gotta Be - Des'ree Beautiful - Christina…

Last night I did my 3rd day. I skipped Tuesday because I did a really intense 90 minute yoga class that day (hot yoga) and it made my neck and back hurt so I took a break for the rest of the evening. But last night I did 90 minutes of yoga and then L1 right after it. It was much harder than Day 1 or 2 (without yoga... go…

Everyone here seems to use Circuit Training - 20 minutes.

Did day 2 last night. I kept waking up in the middle of the night because I was so sore that any time I rolled over, I felt it and woke up. LOL! I definitely feel it in my abs. I don't want to say you're doing it wrong, but the thing about abs is that you can always increase the intensity by changing your leverage. Try…

the spreadsheet is locked, but there's another post that says you can just add them at the end.

For anyone who has a HRM or another way to calculate it, do you feel like MFP's calculations for calories are pretty close for circuit training? I feel like they're kind of low, but maybe that's just wishing it were more calories. Lately it's telling me about 220 calories for 20 minutes of circuit training, but I swear I'm…

My yoga studio has a calculator on their website. I have no idea how they do the calculation, but it depends on the particular class. You can probably use their calculator to at least get a good idea for yourself, but I don't know how to tell you which class to pick. When you see the calculator, you'll know what I mean.…

Yeah, that's pretty frustrating. I've been there (heck, I think we all have at some time or another). How long has this plateau lasted? My take is, if you are comfy at 1200, then 2000 is way high. Zig zag is sooo loosely defined that you could really do anything. I usually zig low for two days, then have one high day, then…

Ah yes, Blue Crush is another good one for me. I haven't seen some of the others... good ones to add to my Netflix and give me something to watch while I'm climbing the stairway to neverland. :) Another one I like is Center Stage :)

Oh honey I have LOADS of tricks on looking like you're eating, drinking, but not :) I am a consultant and travel for work and am constantly doing happy hours and dinners and everything like that. It's so hard to stick to a diet and I have pretty weak will-power. If I have even one drink, then whole night is gone. I'll have…

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention my go-to drink when I'm at a bar with friends is club soda with lime. It's zero calorie, but it looks like a vodka tonic so your friends won't give you a hard time. Also, it is usually free, but if they try to charge you, bat your eyelashes and ask them 'don't you give free drinks to…

I feel your pain. I had that problem in college and am still having it today. It's NOT just a college thing. I have some friends that I simply can't be around if there's food/drink involved because they are not supportive and give me a lot of crap. I do things with them that don't involve food at all, and make sure I eat…

We did... took them in the morning before the workout, and then we'll probably take them again every weekend or every other weekend just to check progress.

Go to the settings (next to My Topics) and check the box that says add ticker. :)

Hubby and I just finished our first day of level one. We watched it last night so we knew what to expect/prepare for. For those who haven't gotten theirs yet, Jillian wants you to also have a set of dumbbells. We didn't know that so we had to improvise. Overall I think it was good. I hope my muscles are sore tomorrow. I…

My husband and I are starting today as well! We just got our DVD yesterday, but for those who are still waiting on yours to arrive, I heard that it's on Netflix. So if you have Netflix, you don't have to wait! :) Also, there is a group specifically for this video. That group started on Jan 2 (I only found it last night)…

I like the Smart Ones Lasagna in traditional meat. They are much more filling than most of the microwave meals. Look at the ounces on the box. If it's a 6 oz meal, it's not filling enough. I haven't checked the sodium on these yet as it's been a while since I had one and I wasn't tracking sodium then like I am now.

Is it too late to join? I just got my DVD today... starting tomorrow morning! :)

McKinney checking in! :)

There is a group here called "Supplement Reviews" that might help as well. :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/50-supplement-reviews

It's really hard to give a general statement about what you should take, because it depends on you and what kind of foods you do eat. If you eat a diet with some fat in it already, you might not need the omegas. Do you eat eggs or fish? They already have it. You need a good multi (I like Wellness Resources - I buy them…

Welcome! You'll find lots of support here. I've just barely started to be really active here yesterday and have already gotten tons of support and cheers :)

I don't agree with this post either, but it is a valid point. I have some friends who are overweight and don't really seem to mind, so I make sure that when I hang out with them, it's doing something that does not involve food. Because, to be honest, if I go to dinner and my friends order fried foods, appetizers, and…

I have been told many times by doctors and nutritionists that it is 75% diet, 25% exercise.

Are you out with friends right now? I would alternate one real drink like gin & tonic, then low-sodium club soda/perrier with lime. As long as you don't drink anything really dark or fruity, you should be okay. I saw a post somewhere else that said diet coke and bacardi was 97 calories I think?

Pretty close! I added you :)

Getgirlie, my stats are pretty close to yours. :) GW: 140-145 CW: 187.? SW: 187 (just starting) Height: 5'6" Age: 31 Sex: F This is a fabulous idea!

Just for the record, I agree with you, not everyone needs 1200 calories per day, especially people who have a sedentary lifestyle. If people take the time to actually calculate how many calories they are USING during an average day, some people will find that they use less that 1200. That means they need less than 1200 to…
