I had a lot of success with P90X, P90x3, insanity, and Body Pump. I am starting Body Beast and hope to get back to where I was. I lost a lot of weight by working out and tracking on MFP combined.

Back in 2011 I lost 50 lbs by tracking on here and I want to do it again. This time I’m only looking to lose 15-20 lbs. I started tracking again and am looking for friends that are also tracking and share their food diary so that we can keep each other motivated. Please add me!

I love Jillian Michaels workouts but I don’t know if she streams. I do Beachbody on Demand and I love it. I used to buy the DVDs, so this $99 a year saves me money.

I'm in the same boat. I lost 50 lbs. through using MFP, and been struggling to lose 20 lbs. of the weight I gained back. NEED PARTNERS! Let's do this! Add me.

MFP is very effective! You don't realize how much you're eating until you start tracking. I also love that it tracks carbs, protein, etc in addition to cals. Together with a good workout program, you will lose weight guaranteed.

Use caution at about 130grams of protein per day. It depends on weight and size. I do 40% protein.

Cardio burns fat. But you also need strength/weight lifting because you need to build muscle to burn fat while you sleep. Muscle increases your metabolism so that you don't regain the weight you are losing. A mixture of cardio and strength is good.

You can do it!! Let me share what has helped me lately: I make my breakfast bigger, dinner's smaller! Eat carbs only early in the day. You can do this!! Weight gain doesn't happen overnight, neither weight loss. But you can lose 100 lbs in one year in a healthy manner!!

I know people that are at least 50-60 lb overweight doing this. Jillian has other DVD's out that you could probably start with. But, if you want to start this one - nice and slow, I say go for it! It is only 26 minutes. You could push pause between each interval. It consist of 3 circuits, each 3 minute strength, 2 minute…

Wow. My cardio fitness is weak. I hope to be able to say the same a year from now.

It says you burned 170 per minute? Or per hour?

INCREDIBLE!!

I bought mine here: http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/ I paid $116 including shipping, and I used the promo code POLAR. I purchased the FT40 and it came with a chest strap. I love it.

Low 100 is good? Good to know. It also reached 158 - at work, my average was 90. I need to focus on relaxing, now I know.

I've been doing circuit training (30 day shred, and 6 pack abs) for over 2 months. Before that, I was just doing the elliptical machine. 6 - 7 times per week.

It happens when I'm working - for example, read an email from the state auditor, jumped to 117. Early in the morning it was in the 80-90s, but all afternoon it has been over 100. I'm an accountant.

Yes, that is the one. The Polar FT40. Now, I need to know if my heart rate is normal.

That is good to know. The Heart Rate itself, this is accurate?

My HMR is not accurate? I hope it can be some what - I paid $116 for it.

Good to know.

Going to have to try this one! Thanks

Good tip!!:happy:

Feel free to add me if you like! I'm new here too, just started yesterday. But I'm loving it very much.
