bump for later...

I was wondering this as well...is it already counted in when they estimate your calorie goal?

So, if I won't gain muscle and it just tones the muscles I do have--- then do I need to worry about upping the amount of weights when I can? I just bought heavier dumbbells to use with my dvds. So, I am getting stronger obviously, but in the end will that really matter if I am not building more muscle? Does this post make…

Wait I am confused...I have MFP set to lose .5-1lb a week(a calorie deficit). I am also doing cardio, and Chalean Extreme (girl version of P90X). Does this mean I am strength training for nothing? Will I not gain muscle and become more toned? Should I just do cardio instead until I get to the maintenance phase? Confused…

I don't have any of those but I do have Insanity and Chalean Extreme. I was debating between P90X and Chalean and decided to go with Chalean Extreme. I think P90X is geared more towards men and Chalean Extreme IS P90X---but for women. I am NOT saying women can't do P90X---I am just saying that I believe P90X is geared more…

I'm doing it right now. I am currently towards the end of the first month. I love these dvds and I actually look forward to it every morning---I like her as a trainer. I need to buy heavier dumbbells though because the heaviest dumbbells I have are 12 lbs---and I just bought those. I want to get 15 lbs, 20 lbs, and 25 lbs.…

I am definitely going to try this. I bought everything for it, because I love pizza...thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I was just making sure I understood what MFP was saying. I appreciate your help:smile: .

From the movie The Fallen: (singing Time is on my side) Tiiiiiiime is on my side...yes it is.

So this is what my home page says now: Goal: 1690 (lightly active, maintain my current weight) Food: 1293 Exercise: -229 Net: = 1064 So my BMR is 1252. Does the net have to be at least 1252? Or is it ok since I took in 1293 in food?

Ok so never mind. I decided to keep it at sedentary because I would rather underestimate then overestimate. One more question though...I see some people are setting maintenance according to their "goal weight." I just have it set to maintenance as to what I currently weigh. Is that ok too?

BMR = 1252 (MFP tool) 1252*1.3 = 1627 1252+1000 = 2252-1627 = 625 What is 1.3? Is that slightly active? I am confused---are we supposed to set it to sedentary or slightly active. On MFP I have always had it set to slightly active.. So should my setting stay at slightly active or sedentary? Setting it to slightly active…

Ok, thanks. Would it be better if I left my settings to lightly active instead of sedentary? If I left it at lightly active it gives me a net calorie of 1690... Or with this method are we supposed to put it to sedentary?

Still confused... Seeing if I have this correct BMR = 1252 1252*1.3 = 1627 (that's the number I set my calorie goal for, correct?) 1252+1000 = 2252-1627 = 625 So I need to eat at least 1252 and I need to keep the green number between 500-1000? Now I am confused... I went to "guided" and set it to "maintain weight,…

Ditto---circuit training:smile: .

Seeing if I have this correct BMR = 1252 1252*1.3 = 1627 (that's the number I set my calorie goal for, correct?) 1252+1000 = 2252-1627 = 625 So I need to eat AT LEAST 1252 and I need to keep the green number between 500-1000? So, if I exercise and get more calories, then what? Eat? What does the 625 mean? And I need to set…

BUMP.

I have had it for awhile and I love it. I also love that you can always up your workout. I finished all 3 levels and so I went back and upped my weights on the levels. Mostly I use 5lb weights, but on some I can even use 8 lb weights. I now have worked myself up to where I can do all 3 levels back to back and just skip the…

What about these? Vodka & Gummie Bears at once:laugh: . http://www.dailyhack.net/2009/02/drunken-gummies-vodka-infused-gummi.html

Yay....I love Cinnamon Bears. Also, we better not order online...I hear they are fake and you need a prescription:wink: . We can trust Walmart right?

I don't know about the Haribo Happy-Cola. I am leaning more towards Cinnamon Bears. Will that work instead:bigsmile: ?

I have the post natal dvd. She is monotone---so she is kinda boring. You have to watch her real carefully too because she doesn't cue very loud when she switches moves. However, I have done the dvd many times so I don't really need her cues anymore. Plus now that I know the dvd it is kind of nice to be working out to…

I like Jillian Michaels dvds. If you like the way Jillian Micahels teaches then I would suggest No More Trouble Zones wich is a pure strength training dvd with dumbbells or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism which is pure cardio. I have them and they are very challenging. If you have knee/ankle problems I wouldn't suggest Banish…

Ok so I adjusted my settings this morning with MFP to lose .5 lbs a week. I now have a net calorie of 1450. Do most people see a weight gain when they adjust/up their calories. Should I expect it, and if so how long til my weight will go back down? Thanks...

Please be careful in the way you go about losing your weight:smile: .

Bump:smile: .
