Im newer here too, but after alot of reading I found that when you plug in your stats and goal into MFP it will create a calorie goal per day to meet your weightloss goal per week. However you exercise and eat those calories back. 2 different ways at getting the same answer. BMR 1500 + Exercise Burn daily 750 - Caloric…

No you shouldnt eat everything you want. Ive done P90x and just finished Insanity today. Yes you will burn alot of calories, but its all about calories in vs. calories out. If you want to lean out with p90x create a calorie deficit. If you are already lean and want to bulk with p90x add a small caloric surplus and lift…

My case is definetely the zebra leaving hoof prints. I had a trifecta of metabolic issues all at once. Hmm no wonder I couldnt lose any weight. I had Cushings Disease (tumor on pituitary), PCOS, Hashimotos & Secondary Hypothyroidism. I was caught in homonal purgatory for nearly 8yrs. I saw Dr.s from coast to coast and…

I have PCOS and do not have numb feet. They do go numb when I work out, but I do really High intensity interval plyo training. Have you been diagnosed with PCOS?? I have it but do NOT have elevated glucose. My body just in inefficiently utiilizing insulin. I am on 2000mg metformin ER every day. Good luck!

I burn 700-1300 a day and try to eat all of them back but some days I fall short. I may try to eat more nuts to eat most if not all of them back as MFP already has a 750 calorie deficit built in.

I bought a womans ironman triatholon w/ strap and love it! Ive used the heck out of it for the past 2 yrs with no issues at all. Side note heart palaptations are a sign of HYPERthyroidism. Are you hypo and maybe your meds need adjusted down? Im hypo too so, I know how frustrating it can get.

I do Insanity dvds by Beachbody. They are VERY intense, full body workout and have you working out at your max heart rate. Hardest workouts Ive ever done:)

I am discounting what my HR monitor says by 15% already and that comes out to 1156. I am a heavier female at 184, 24% BF. So I calculated it out per our and its 867 calories per hour. So I think its probably correct as during my intervals & warm up my heart rate is in the 170s up to 181. I will try the 2% milk and nuts.…

I did Beachbody's Insanity Max Interval Circiut. I worked out at 80-95% of my max heart rate majority of the time during the intervals. Total of 1:25. Heart rate monitor with chest strap reads 1360 but I always discount by 15% which puts me at 1156 calories burned. I was concerned the fat content in 2% would be too much…

Breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day. It gets you refueled from not eating for 8-10hrs from the night before. I believe that protein in each meal is a must......especially if you are weight training. Infact, its best to eat a good size breakfast and a lighter dinner. If you have issues with milk try almond or…

I agree with others that if you look at your total weightloss it will be completely overwhelming. Have you heard the saying how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Thats it. Dont look at your end goal. Set a goal for a day. Start a journal. Write down your goal in the morning. Write down what you eat througout the…

I think there are way too many factors to consider to determine. #1 every day is different which varies caloric burn. Also, stregnth training or HIIT type training will keep burning calories long past the end of the dvd. #2 calories burned will vary greatly by a persons weight, exertion, how quickly they move from one…

I went back and fourth between Polar and an Ironman Triathalon. I went with the Ironman because I heard of many people having battery issues with the Polar. This was 2 years ago and my Triatholon is still running strong. Has chest strap, accounts for age, weight, resting and mx heart rate. I love it! U can pic them up on…

Hi there, I use buckwheat pancakes so I get all whole grains, no corn syrup, or sugar. U could use 2T of natural peanut butter which together would be great fuel for some inttense workouts!

Girl, Im in the same EXACT place right now and its SOOOO frustrating! I do Insanity DVD's and kill myself every single workout and my measurements and the scale dont really change. I personally think Im off in my caloric needs but cant tell if Im too high or too low. So Im going to play around with my intake and see what…

I love the Beachbody products! I do Insanity and have done P90X. I am on my last week of Insanity now. Its killer! In month 2 I burn 1000calories an hour!
