You should be netting 1200 and not going below that.

That is awesome and now you have me thinking...look out :laugh: Not sure what kind of HRM you have but I do wonder if any HRM would do. I thought I had read somewhere that most weren't accurate for daily wear and that you needed something like the bodybugg. I am not sure what the difference is but thought I had read that…

MFP will not calculate lower then 1200. Most people need that or more just so their body can function.

Yes! You should read this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/6556-the-answers-to-the-questions

I hope that you didn't think I was trying to make anyone feel bad that was not my intention. You are the perfect example really...do things different but don't complain and whine that MFP sucks. It is a tool that thank goodness if free and works .period. how it works is up to the person. There is doing things different and…

If it is no one's business then the option to make your diary private is there. If you open it up then you are asking for it to be looked at and while I agree that for most if I don't "like" their diary I don't read it but what about those people starting out that are barely eating because they think that is the way should…

The line does not suggest that at all. The line was why join a site you don't agree with NOT why join a site that you don't agree with and abide by fully. You also quote the "they are all entitled to their opinons". You have yours and I have mine, this post was about mine :flowerforyou:

Yup if you do it right it totally works! It is the only thing that has worked for me. I was skinny my whole life then I had a child and could not get rid of the weight. I lost 30lbs but gained all of it back plus some when I got pregnant again. I have since lost 32lbs and only 8lbs to my goal.

:laugh: Fat monster.....If I sleep now will you send him over? He must have missed me at night :wink:

I did the 30 day challenge last year and had pretty good success! I think I might get better results from 30DS but I may actually do EA after the Shred to mix it up!

I use my HRM so I created an exercise called 30 Day Shred level 1 and find that I burn between 200-240 calories in 27mins.

I agree but if it is so great and a wonderful tool why knock it...that was my only real point. I won't leave because MFP has helped me lose 32lbs, I will continue to post and help where I can but it burns my butt to see people that are not newbies giving bad advice to the newbies and then saying that MFP is wrong. I can't…

:heart:

WOW!! You are gorgeous...before and current!

Ok just to clarify I don't have a problem with people adjusting things to make it suitable given that they have had time to try what MFP suggests. I get everyone is different and therefore the rules don't apply to everyone. My problem is the people that say MFP doesn't work, starvation mode is a myth etc stuff like that.…

MFP creates a deficit for you so if you log in and put in your goal for example 1200 calories and eat that and never exercise you will lose weight because of said deficit. Now if you exercise you need to refuel and eat back those calories. Great post here :…

I started on the 7th. Day 1 went fine and I was totally expecting to not be able to walk but it wasn't bad, Day 2 I could feel it in my thighs and it hurt to go down or up stairs and sometimes sit, Day 3 was a little more sore in the thighs, Day 4 was better and Day 5 all gone...No pain to report today. I would get it…

I think it depends on how long you have been eating under 1200 calories. If it has been quite awhile then you may actually gain weight. People forget that MFP already adds a deficit so if you signed up today and set your goal to 2lbs a week and never ever exercised you would lose weight because of the deficit. When you add…

LOL...Sorry you should have said "Lie to me" ah but I couldn't do that to you. I seriously just realized this all last month and want to share. The way I see it, if we do it healthy and right the first time we won't have to do it a second time.

You should not go below 1200 NET however if you are set higher then you should get as close to your NET as possible.

You should not be going below 1200 NET. So if you are eating 1200 and burn 300 then ya you should be eating 300 more to balance it out. You may feel good now but for most people 900 calories isn't enough for your body to function on properly.

No a mat isn't required. The only stuff in level one is the ab stuff...crunches...We have wood floor so before the mat I would have just used a blanket. I wanted the mat to make it feel more official...lol

Kraft calorie wise italian only 5 calories for 1 tbsp..I cannot eat salad plain, I like it drenched!

I find if i am really hungry and need something before I workout it is usually peanut butter toast. Filling but not super heavy.

Yes I use 3lb weights. You also need a mat if exercising on a hard surface. I found a mat for $9.00 and 2 - 3lb weights cost about $8.00 so not too expensive.

Just because your officially goal isn't 2lbs a week doesn't mean you won't lose 2lbs a week. If you stick to this and eat good food, exercise and keep it at or just above 1200 calories you may just be surprised. When I started here last year I was at 1200 calories and ate back all my exercise calories and lost most of my…

WOW!! Need I say more..I am more excited then ever to see my results! I took pics and measurement too so hopefully I can at least achieve half of what you did! AMAZING you look fantastic!

1200 NET is the lowest you should go, going below that is not healthy and can do more damage then good. You may want to lose 2lbs a week but for some it just isn't feasible and you need to do what is healthy.

Kraft calorie wise italian..so good and only 5 calories for 1tbsp so I can smother my salad...yummy :smile:

Does that Polar model have the V02 max you can set? I know I had the F7 and was getting some crazy high burns. Turns out the V02 max was set to high.
