I have a Timex Health Touch HRM Watch. When I set it up , I did have to have to input all of my info, including age. Comments? Suggestions??

I was just about to ask the same question. There are several doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution that I have befriended. I in NO way mean this next statement to offend anyone. However when I see people doing the same exercise, I see them posting about 100 or calories less than what my HRM says I'm burrning. Does this…

Welcome to the family!! I'm on week 2 and loving it! Feel free to add me! Good luck!!

I have Hypothyroidism, and it IS a pain!! Once you get on meds and your thyroid becomes regulated, you'll start to see the difference on the scale. However, it make take a while to find the right dosage. Don't get discouraged! Keep up the great work!! Make sure that you take your measurement, because you WILL burn off a…

Thanks so much for sharing!! I appreciate what you wrote about calories in/out. it took me a little bit in the beginning to realize that 1200 cal a day was definitely not enough. I do 1400/1500 a day and have great energy levels. And the scale started moving! So again, thank you for all of your inspiration, and continued…

What a great accomplishment, and so inspiring!! Keep up the great work!! :smile:

Great job!! You should be really proud of yourself!! What an inspiration you are!! keep up he good work!

Oops, yes, you need dumbells for her videos. I'm using 3-5 lbs to start, but have 8-10 ready to go as well. You will receive a very nice resistance band with the set. I was hesitant when I first saw the price, but now I feel that it is well worth it!!

The way BR is set up is a 6 day a week, 30 minutes a day series, with Sunday being a rest day. I will tell you, I received mine last Wednesday, started Thursday (I'm not doing Kickstart). I thought I was going to die...not from the workout, but my quads!! In cardio 1, OMG, after you feel like you've used a leg press. I'm…

I ordered mine on 2/20, and still have not received a confirmation email....frustrating!

That makes sense. Thanks!!

Here's a strange one...I ordered mine on the 20th. I see the money deducted out of my account yesterday, but no confirmation email. I just checked my email, nothing again, AND the deduction is no longer there. Has this happened to anyone else? I am so ready to start this!!

This question is sooo frustrating, and can be very confusing to the newcomer. When I joined MFP 6 months ago, it set me up for the 1200 cal per day. And the scale didn't budge, nor did it give me enough energy for the day. But after listening to several people, I realized that I HAD to increase my calories each day…

I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I would suggest waiting til Monday, so that you're on track. I'm also not following her meal plan. I need at least 1400 cal per day. Good luck!

I personally found that when I increased my calories, the scale started to move. I wasn't eating enough good carbs, so my body was in a constant fight for what little I was eating. For me, 5-6 small meals of about 300 calories each is what what got me going, and I feel much better too. I'd be glad to share, just send me a…

I ordered mine yesterday! So excited!! I doubt I will be following the 1000-1200 calories per day. Too low energy for me. I finally started eating 1400/1500 cal a day (5-6 300-350 cal meals), not only do I have better energy, but the scale finally started moving. Make sure you find what is right for your body. Good luck…

What about Jillian Michael's , "The Jillian Body Revolution?" I'm ready to step it up, and really love the fact that these w/o's are only 30 minutes long so I can also add in extra cardio. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!!

Try Turbo Jam or Turbo Fire DVD's. I use Turbo Jam; started on 12/6 and have lost over 10 inches so far! Cardio kickboxing is great for an all over workout!! Good luck!!

I started the same, as in eating 1200 a day. Then soon found that once I increased my calories by 100 or 200 a day, not only did the scale start moving, but I felt sooo much better. Did you take your measurements? You'll lose a ton of inches faster than you'll go down on the scale. Stay with it, and vary your food and…

Absolutely inspiring!! Great job!!!

I use GNC Lean 25 protein powder, in chocolate. It's yummy and has no odor.

Hi! I'm 46 and just started on 12/6. I've only lost a pound, but have lost 5.75 inches. I just made up my mind that I would do it this time. I absolutely love MFP. It totally keeps you on track. And I'm making myself get up and workout every morning. Instead of putting it on my "to do" list, I make myself a priority. It's…

Congrats to all with losses!! I'm down 1 myself!! Yeah! It is a tough time to get started, however, I used to tell my clients that ANYTIME is a great time to get started!! We're not doing a quickie diet, we're all making a life style change. Waiting until the first of the year, usually sets you up to fail. It only take 21…

Hi, Are you saying that MFP is giving us incorrect numbers in calories burned? Thanks!!

My sw is 144. Let's go my new friends!! We can do it!!

I'm in!! This is exactly what I need to get going. I just started working out again, Turbo Jam, and can use all of the support I can get. Here's to the first 10!! Barbara
