instead of having your hands flat on the floor, put your hand in a fist and do them from there. it'll be rough on your knuckles, but should put less strain on your wrists. you can do them from your knees this way, or do the wall pushups this way.

i'm 5'19 170. i aim for eating 1200 calories. i eat back my calories sometimes if i'm hungry, but not that often. i've lost 12 lbs or so this month doing this. i've heard and read it all on here. but this works for me, and i'm sticking with it.

i'm book marking that recipe ! thanks for sharing. I might have to make these for my camping trip this weekend

do you have any cans of veggies or soup? they aren't bad for starting out. For level one, as long as you can do jumping jacks in the space and lay down fully, your fine, not sure about 2 and 3.

I've added my name, I'm going to go buy a sewing kit tonight so i have something to measure with lol

Where in canada? i'm in hamilton ontario :) Oh, Hi, I'm Patricia, I've been pretty athletic all my life, till injuries and life sidelined me completely, i went from 145 in july 2009 to 195 in dec 2011. i've been working away at it and am down to 172 now. hoping the shred(along with my usual jiu jitsu workouts) will help me…

i don't have a measuring thing, so i just took some pics with my camera phone, they didn't turn out well. oh well. i did the shred this morning. i gues it'll be the 31 day shred for me. I like to start things on mondays.

bad for your teeth??? why would tea be bad for your teeth? green tea has lots of good side effects, i wouldn't worry about it at all.

i think because it's one of the types of subs.

I just picked up the dvd yestertday based on my sisters recommendation, was going to start today... does that count as may? lol

i had 34 today. i try my best to avoid processed sugar, and things with sugar added. I don't eat a lot of fruit either. lots of veggies.

In order of my favourites on your: #1, #3, #2.

i've only lost about 11 or 12 pounds in my most recent weight lost effort... and my boobs went from nicely filling a 34B to 34A. I knew it would happen, b/c when i was super fit, I couldn't fill an A properly, but it still sucks, that was the only good thing about being plump.

do you find that the protien does weird things int hot drinks? i've tried adding it to coffee before and it was a nasty texture!

some of these breakfasts sound delightful!! i think i'm going to start having eggs more often, i'm getting bored of my current breakfast. which is: 1 serving of mini wheats (27) a protien shake

wow! what a transformation in 30 days! great work!

2 fold: 1. it "bumps" the thread back to the top, so it stays active. 2. replying, so it ends up in "my topics" so you can read it later

i concur with the more protien and fat. but good fat, nuts and eggs are a great source! I wouldn't go eating a dozen eggs a day or anything, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a couple eggs for breakfast. The only dairy i eat is yogurt, i avoid milk because it's got a lot of natural sugar (yogurt does to,…

These sound great! I like the carb/protien ration. I always find it interesting when something is being marketed as a protien bar, and it has twice as many carbs as protien.

2kg isn't bad at all! how long have you been working on it?

brazillian jiu jitsu, camping, and when diablo 3 comes out, playing videos games.

sounds quite tasty, but i would be hesitant to call it a "good" protien bar, it has twice as many carbs as protien!

i weigh myself every day, and record it everyday. we track and record our calories and exercise everyday, why not the result of it? a lot of ppl say not to weigh/track every day b/c then you'll be depressed when you gain... but if your only weighing 1x a week, and the day before weigh in day you have salty takeout, your…

omg i have the same thing!! "you couldn't possibly weight 145 and be healthy" "you look great the way you are" GRRRR!!! taller people do carry excess weight better, because it is more spread out, but it doesn't change the fact that at my current weight, according to bmi, and my weigh scales body fat calculator, i'm over…

I'm 5'10, maybe 5'10.5 i've weighed between 132 and 190. at 132 i looked absolutely sickly. my goal is to get to 145, which is what i weighed in my profile pic. ladies our height probably shouldn't really weigh any less then 140. unless you have no muscle, which is a problem all it's own, or you are only of those lucky…

myself, from 2009... it's my profile picture.

He shouldn't be doing anything other then body weight exercises, he could do things like p90x and the like, you could get him a trx (http://www.trxtraining.com/) or just tell him to do sit ups, squats, lunges, and pushups. lifting weights when your still growing is asking for problems down the road. disclaimer: i'm not a…

These are "brownies" not bars, but they turn out absolutely delicious! http://www.shapeyourweigh.com/2011/08/protein-brownie-recipe.html I changed the recipe up a bit when i made them last time: i used chocolate powder instead of vanilla and 2 scoops instead of one, also used about 10 or 12 packs of stevia instead of…

i hate to break it to you guys, but there isn't really anything "healthy" about these cookies. i supose having peanut butter makes them have more protien then the average cookie. but, like other people have mentioned, the math on the calories is way off, and the cookies are 1/2 sugar. nothing that is 1/2 sugar is healthy.

if your working out a lot, especially intense exercise, and or lifting weights, your going to need more protien then the defaults MFP puts in. i personally upped mine to 40% protien.
