Whey does not make me gain. I also think that was very unprofessional of him to speak to you that way at all never mind in front of a group!

Black stripe in WTF TKD. Forms are my least favorite thing to do..i would rather be sparring.

love hearing success stories like this!

1200 is not the minimum for everyone..when you take into consideration activity level, exercise, age, current weight ect..even netting 1200 is not going to be okay or for everyone. bad thing don't start to happen at a magical 1200 number for everyone..we are all different! anyoo...glad the op figured it out!

MFP is set up so that you look at your net calories once you have figured out how many you need to eat (this normally takes into consideration your height,weight,age,and activity level..google bmr & tdee calculator if you still need to figure this part out) ..so you are on the right track now using the net number as your…

very impressive! thanks for all the details..it is nice too see what it took to get these results!

nice work ladies!

thanks..i'll be happy if i can just maintain right now..so i will try for that.

oh for sure.. as soon as i can move without pain i will resume working out with what i can do..and there is plenty..just disappointed it won't be with this program for now. i generally workout about 7 hrs a week..this downtime is killer! :ohwell: if anyone has had a wrist/arm injury i would love to hear about how things…

we do most of these in our taekwondo classes...brutal but so satisfying to get thru workout like this!

nice! can see the definition happening there!

thanks for sharing your experience..good to know progress can still be had at 2 days a week :)

thanks..i will look it up!

thanks for the info! I hadn't bought the book because I wasn't sure if it would work for my schedule..now I will look into it more. Right now at home we only have dumbells up to 20 pounds. No barbell.

I started TKD at 37..so yeah..a little later in life :) I have stuck with it..I love it..I am at classes 6x a week. I don't see leaving anytime soon, it is very challenging, alot of fun, the time flies by, I love sparring & the training that goes along with that. I was out of shape (total couch potato) when I started, I…

You can add me :)

I will definately cut back on TKD come July/Aug, December is also at least 2 weeks of down time. I will change my activity level and start working up towards the new calorie goal, thanks for your feedback on that. Not enough time in the day to do all that I want to do!

Thanks for posting your details and then regular updates..I am on a plateau myself so it is really helpful to read thru the process that other people follow!

I look forward to reading part 2 as well!

I wish ours were closed..they encourage spectators..that makes me nervous :bigsmile:

That is great you guys got to help out..sounds like a pretty good day for everyone!

I don't do Muay Thai..but when I started TKD I was well over 200 pounds.. but like the other posters everyone has to start somewhere and it is a great fun way to get in shape!.

Just because one school does it differently than yours does not make it a imitation tkd class. Like a mentioned before our training is broken up into traditional tkd, sparring & conditioning and there is nothing imitation about it. Our school has people who have competed at the national and international level..and you…

Our classes are broken up..2x a week is traditional tkd, 2 days a week sparring and 2 days a week is fighters fit (conditioning/strenght training etc). Maybe that is how hers is set up?? I absolutely love that we do the conditioning now on a regular basis at tkd..this helps loads in the ring. Also the strength training…

okay..I'm going to try!

Hi there! Glad to hear you enjoyed it..it's a great sport!

thanks..I guess my mistake has been assessing myself as sendentary. I will make the bump up and see how things go!!

Do you mean eat my exericse calories or not eat my exercise calories? Right now I am not eating them back..but wast trying to eat 1800 per day..except for Saturdays..I do try to eat more because those are really high burn days for me.

Yes..I do measure my food with a digital scale.

ditto..mine has held up forever..awesome quality!
