Thank you so much for the link to your review. I appreciate it:flowerforyou: .Now to decide...

Thank you so much for your advice and help. I really appreciate it:flowerforyou: . Does NROL4W have a new way of finding out what my maintenance calories are? Or should I just go by MFP's recommendation for maintenance calories?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I appreciate it:flowerforyou: .

Another question...how long do people stay in the 'bulking' phase----a couple weeks, a couple months?

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it:flowerforyou: .

BUMP...Love chocolate:love: !

Bump---getting ready to start lifting. I am curious about calorie intake too:smile: .

Thank you so much heybales:flowerforyou: . What about if I decide to switch to lifting heavy? I am debating on doing ChaLean Extreme which is a 90 day program. It is done 5 days a week and the workouts are about 35-40 minutes. I want to lose some more body fat and tone up. Would you still consider that moderately active…

They sound/look delicious. However, I went to that web address provided at the bottom and in the comments someone says it makes approximately 50 cookies. Also, did anyone notice you only drop by TEASPOONFULS onto the cookie sheet? Bummer---that's got to be only 1 bite---sounds tiny...

Bumping for the recipes. They sound yummy:love: .

Thanks so much:flowerforyou: . This is what I was trying to ask. My original guess was 310 calories. I guess my original assumption was correct. Since 1/4 cup is 155 calories which would supposedly yield 1/2 cup cooked but I eat 1 cup...so double (155 x 2 = 310) calories... I would rather double check and ask than…

Thanks for your quick response:flowerforyou: . I am aware that 1.5 cups is 6 servings---- but I have read that it makes more as rice expands when it is cooked. So, I am wondering since rice expands and changes the quantity---how many calories is in 8 oz of cooked rice? What I am trying to ask makes sense in my…

It is a 20 minute workout (plus warm up and cool down) by Jillian Michaels. It incorporates cardio and dumbbells. It is good for beginners as well as advanced because there are ways to modify each move. It is highly used and has awesome reviews. I have it myself and I absolutely love all her workout dvds. You can find it…

age: 30 height: 5'1'' SW: 138 CW: 119.4 GW: 116-117 lbs which is 21% body fat. (a few doctors I have talked to, says a female with my age/height should NOT aim for less than 21% body fat. Anything less than 21% for my age/height would put it in the "too little" body fat range. For my age/height a healthy range is 21%-33%…

I just thought of a couple more questions...sorry:wink: . I am going to take a recovery week with NO exercise at the end of May and was wondering what you think I should eat for my recovery week. Would I be sedentary and EAT 1556? Or does my stay-at-home job make me lightly active? Also, would that number be my TDEE?

:flowerforyou: . Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it:smile: .

OK I just found all of this information and I went to the fat2fitradio website and completed the calculations. I used the military body fat calculations of 23.1% Age 30 Female Weight 119 Goal Weight 115 Height 61 inches Harris-Benedict Formula 1318 Katch-McArdle Forumla 1271 Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1556…

It is based on a 1200 calorie plan unless you have less to lose. If you have less to lose (around 5-10 lbs) you should be eating 1500. Found that info here: http://twitter.com/#!/JillianMichaels/statuses/179082876191649792 However, I am not following the meal plan. I am eating 1900-2000 calories which is close to my…

Oops double post.

Thank you to those that replied with good advice:flowerforyou: .

See if we can get you some more friends by bumping this topic to the top:flowerforyou: .

Yep. I have some sort of chocolate every day. I keep Dove Dark Chocolate Promises in the house and they are about 42 calories a piece. You just have to make sure you set limits. I also love ice cream and I find the Skinnycow Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches satisfy my ice cream AND chocolate cravings at once and they are 140…

Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. It is 7 circuits that are each 6 minutes long---total 42 minutes + warm up & cool down. You can do the whole dvd or customize it to how long you want. Definitely a toughie when doing the whole thing.

This! You need to eat at least your BMR. Yes---use your TDEE as the number to subtract from.

There are sooo many people on this thread starting or currently doing 30 Day Shred. I just thought I would let you know that I found level 3 to be "easier" than level 2. I hated level 2. I know several people on MFP that also thought level 3 was 'easier'---anyone else reading this thread find level 2 MORE challenging than…

I am 30 years old and 5'1. I am a mom to 3 kids (4 years and younger). I am also looking to tone up---as I am fairly close to my goal weight. Friend me if I sound similar to you or your situation:flowerforyou: . Always looking for more friends... I am currently doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I am on week 5&6. I…
