Not sure about accurate calories, but I do know that your calorie burn is going to be different than other peoples because it has a lot to do with your current size and intensity levels. Don't over work it. If you're already working your hardest, don't push to get more calories burned. It's important to be safe above all…

I had that yesterday, and am sort of finding that to be a problem today as well. I think for me it's best to do it straight away in the morning or right after work. I find that if I give myself a break, I get really lazy. Readjusting to real life after my vacation is actually making working out harder than it was on…

Same here, I'm still looking to lose about 15 lbs so I have been trying to stay under but just making sure I've got enough protein in.

I don't have any experience with any protein powder, but I do use glutamine. From what I understand, most protein powders have enough glutamine that you don't need to add more to your diet. I just tried a kale smoothie with spinach, banana, peanut butter, and blueberries. It's not the most delicious smoothie I've made, but…

It took almost the entire day, but I finally did day 16. This was the first day I really didn't have the motivation. It's alright though, I'm back in the right mindset, ready for tomorrow!

Your weight might actually go up, but I think as long as you feel/look better it doesn't really matter. My opinion is all.

Very nice! Had to take the morning off. will do my work out tonight. I was a little sore in the groin after bowling so I paused.

My arms and legs are surprisingly getting noticeably smaller. My boyfriend told me about my arms (and he's not the type to notice subtle changes) and I can actually see a difference in my legs being smaller. It's a great feeling. So far I still have a touch too thick of a midsection to see much going on there, but I can…

Hope you did it! Keep up the work and it will pay off! :]

Back home, woke up early for the fit test! It wasn't easy, and I have a feeling this morning work out business is going to be difficult since I rarely get to bed at a decent hour. Problem is I know I'll get distracted once my guy returns from Vegas. I think I have some visible and possibly measurable changes, but I'm…

The first week I did it in the evening before dinner, but last week I was on vacation so I did it around noon (couldn't do it earlier or I would have) to prepare for starting on early morning work outs this coming week. I feel like there are too many possible distractions in the evening that can get in the way so I would…

Not to put a damper on your rewards, but the first rule of health related goal making is to never reward yourself with the root of the problem. With weight loss that means you should never reward yourself with food, maybe try a spa day like csiwannabe88? or something equally enjoyable to you. Problem is you may find…

I think you just need to get over the fear of working out in front of people, but I understand where you're coming from. It feels embarrassing, but you just have to remember that you're doing this for you and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Last week the last 3 days I had to work out in front of people, but I…

Every day I sweat more than is considered ladylike! Did that video Monday, I believe. I'm on week 2 and it never gets less sweaty it would seem. Good work ladies, keep it up! :]

Thanks guys! I'll start doing some more research! :]

Awesome! Keep it up, it doesn't stop feeling good when you do a whole session with these videos! :]

It seems impossible to keep going at first. You feel tired after the first couple of days, but the hardest part is making yourself hit play. Once you do it's smooth sailing! I almost gave up because I was so sedentary for a month once I did the fit test and didn't do much in the way of a recovery meal/drink so I was…

I took some pics before I did day 4 so I was a little behind, but should still be good to see the differences. I'll post some progress pics on my 3rd rest day (1st is tomorrow)! I also did measurements, you should do some still. I hear that's where you note the most differences.

I see the difference! everything is a little more toned. Your inner thighs are slimmer which is exciting for me because that's one of my problem areas. I'm on day 6 today so that will give me some motivation here to get through! Nice work :]

That's awesome, I always get the 0% greek. I always hear about guys doing protein shakes to bulk up so I think I've avoided them because of that. I don't know if that's the right thought to have about it, though.

Hey guys, I'm 23, 5'3", about 137lbs. I am a fresh college graduate. I graduated from ASU with a kinesiology degree in December. By the end of college I had gained 30 lbs since the start. I've slowly widdled down from 155. I was keeping it pretty fit for a while there, but then I took an entirely sedentary month long break…

I started yesterday! Here and willing to support and be supported! :] good luck everyone!
