I have to agree, one pound is not bad. As for wanting to flatten the tummy, might I recommend Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred? The workout is about 27 minutes and combines cardio, strength and abs. Check out some of the post where people have posted before and after pictures, they are amazing.

What ever your doing seems to be working. Keep it up!!!

I didn't even know you could do that, not that I want to. My most supportive friends are the ones I have met through MFP. I would love to have you as a friend, the more support the better. Matter of fact I will send you a request.

I just started the 30 DS and finished day 3 level one. I use the Polar FT4 HRM w/chest band and I have burned 259 - 266 calories, depending on how much steam I have. I would love to burn 520 calories, but I am pretty wimpy and have to stop and catch my breath. I try to do as she says 5 seconds and start back up, but I…

Thanks for sharing when put that way it makes sense. I was one of those that don't always eat back my calories. However, if I am way under my calorie goal and I just can't eat another bite, I usually skip the workout because I can't stand it when it tells me I haven't eaten enough calories. Again thanks for sharing!!!

I started yesterday and I am using 2lb weights. I was only able to use them on half the workout the other half I didn't use any. I don't think it really matters what size you start with, just use what feels comfortable and when it get to easy step it up. That's my plan. I'm looking to get fit not injured.:wink:

I maybe wrong in what I am doing but I don't stress over eating back those calories. If I am hungry I will eat no matter how late but if I complete a workout and I'm not hungry I don't eat.

30 Day Shred combines cardio, strength, and abs all in a 20 ( actually 27) minute workout. It has three levels and it kicks butt!!! I hope this helps.

Awesome results!!! I started the 30 Day Shred yesterday hope to see good result. You are my HERO for being able to do more than the 30 DS. I was hardly able to get thru level 1 of 30 DS and I had to take breathers. Today I will push thru day 2, and after seeing your pics, I think I just found my motivation to do it. Great…

I too am starting the 30 Day Shred today. I would love to join you on your 30 day journey. I plan to take before and after pics but I don't know if I will be brave enough to post them.

Yes!!! I have had this happen before, when I was trying to lose weight using Slim Fast, or Weight Watchers...epic fail. Since I started MFP, I realized that the foods I am eating aren't the problem. It was the portion sizes, or the fact that I love Mexican food and my husband likes Chinese food. You can't eat Mexican for…

I wonder how many calories are in that snack? I don't know what's worse eating the giant of spiders or the coon my daughter killed over the weekend. : / However, I don't think I could convince myself that that spider was anything but a spider. I keep telling myself this coon is going to be like eating chicken.

When I first started I would use the closest exercise in the database and hope it was close. Now I use my Polar FT4 HRM, it is very easy to use and I love it!!

I just started 4 weeks ago and have lost 9lbs so far. I too could use more friends and motivation. I'm sending you a friend request and anyone else out there that wants can send me one. I can sure use the support!! : )

Hello!!! I had to double check that this wasn't my introduction. I to have had some fusions done, what L's of S's I can't remember, but they are in the lower back. There are some exercises that I am not able to do as well. I bought a used treadmill and started out walking just 15 minutes a night and have worked my way up…

I'm glad I'm not the only one lost on this. :huh:

I have only been doing this for a short while ( 4 weeks) but when I started I told myself that Sundays would be my day. I chose Sundays because my church likes potlucks and I'm just not that strong to not indulge. All other days I try really hard to stay with in my goal but on Sundays I eat what I want and don't worry…
