Ah ha! Now that's an explanation I can live with :smile:

I thought they gave good advice overall and I understand the importance of varying your exercises. Again, thank you for sharing. I hope some others on the site who have the question about plateaus and calories in-and-out take the time to watch at least the first 5 minutes of it.

Thanks for posting your note and the link to the video. I was following along just fine up until about the 5:10 mark when they say that the treadmill and elliptical can actually slow down your metabolism and cause you to lose lean muscle mass...???!!! I would like to know what the reasoning is behind that statement. Great…

Please feel free to add me (and anyone else who wants to add me) - the support around here is phenomenal! I'm sorry for your loss :(

I am going to suggest you wear a helmet today while on your run and for the next round of P90x :-) (Love, your wife)

What is wrong with some people?! That sounds like a really unfortunate encounter. Good job with all of your physical activities today!

Thanks for the motivation! Time to get off of my butt and attempt a P90x :)

I'm somewhat in the same boat. My first couple of weeks I dropped a few pounds and then got on the scale and I had gained back those few pounds. Try not to let the scale discourage you! I am slowly but steadily increasing my exercise and activity level and the weight is (very, very) slowly coming off. It's going to take a…
