I tried it for a few months awhile back. It didn't do anything for me as far as losing weight, but it did give me energy without jitters, but since I could get that from my morning coffee, I decided it wasn't worth it, plus I don't know what awful things it may be doing to my body...eeek!

My frame is quite small and I feel that I look best with no excess fat at 130-135 lbs. Only in the last few years have I gone above that weight, so I decided to start watching what I eat and to make sure I'm eating healthy. I really don't care about my weight numbers so much as how I look and feel. I've only recently (3…

My job is quite sedentary, plus I have it set to lose 1.5 lbs a week. When I had it set to lose 1 lb a week, it had the goal at 1390. Maybe that would be more healthy. :)

Okay, I'll try that and check my iron amounts in my daily multivitamin. I haven't been tracking my iron intake, but I will see if I can track that through MFP. Great ideas, everyone! Thank you!

I was just going to post a question about what could be causing my extreme exhaustion every afternoon that lasts til bedtime. My MFP goal is 1200 calories a day, which I stay pretty close to and I always eat my exercise calories. I am a vegetarian, so I can eat a lot of healthy food for that amount of calories. I'm not…

WOW. If you girls are new to running, but have a few 5Ks you've already done, I must be really super new!! I'm doing a training program (kinda like a C25K) and I just finished week 4. I hope to run my first 5K in early May. :)

On days like that, I just skip the logging. Give yourself the day off. Come back strong on Monday! Have a great weekend!! :happy:

I'm in! Instead of a certain amount of days, I'm going to set a goal of having 80-90% of each day be clean for the whole 30 days. I like to have whole grain cereal or oatmeal for breakfast (which is techically processed, since it comes from a box), but hopefully the rest of the day I can do this! I want to stay away from…

I'm right there with ya! I've been so good all week, wake up super early to work out, do my best at that, and this morning I weighed and I'm up a pound from where I was last week. Grrr. It happens to all of us, I guess. Gotta keep our heads up!

If you're right-handed, maybe you unconsciously worked that arm harder. It has happened to me several times. I would give it a few days and see if it gets better.

I'm in! Actually, I've started this last Monday, and I LOVE it so far! I make a HUGE smoothie with lots of veggies and fruits. The only thing that's processed in it is yogurt. I drink half of it for breakfast, and half for lunch. My snacks are a bowl of oatmeal (processed) midmorning, and a piece of fruit, mid afternoon.…

whoa...my current weight x 7= 980...that can't be right!

I eat BBQ flavored sunflower seeds in the shell (I know they have a lot of sodium :tongue: ). They let you have something in your mouth without actually eating much, so very few calories, and they last a long time. Plus they're good for you!

Whoa. I guess its a good thing I never ate those exercise calories! I would have gained for sure! :ohwell:

I gave it up for two weeks because I could have hot tea with Truvia and have no calories, versus all the flavored cream I put in my giant cup of coffee (about 100 cals!). After two weeks of total exhaustion and crankiness, I went back to my best friend, Mr. Coffee!! I just make the extra calories fit into my day. Its worth…

Today I paid attention to the timing of the calorie burn...I had burned around 180 in the first 10 minutes. Thats a little high, but not too much (18 cals a minute) but in the last 5-6 minutes at the highest resistance the machine has, at a steady 4 kph, it says I burn around 100 calories. What do you think of that?

Well, I swear by Wheaties Fuel cereal. It must have a lot of fiber in it, cuz it works like a charm!

Thank you all for the comments. I figured it was too good to be true! :) I guess I just need to get an HRM, and until then I'll just figure it using the suggested formula. Too bad...it was nice seeing "You've earned 811 calories for today"!!

Hello, peoples! Congratulations on everyone's amazing ability to keep at it even when it is so hard! I am inspired by you all! I've lost 4 lbs so far this month, so I'm glad about that, but will keep at it even harder to lose 5 lbs in May. I like how some of you have a goal of burning 3500 cals a week. I'm gonna start…

I'd like to join if its not too late. You all seem like really nice people and the perfect inspiration! Starting weight: 142 Current weight: 137 Goal weight: 125

I'm doing the No More Trouble Zones and I really like it! I just started it last week, so its a little too early to tell how hot it will make me, but I felt sore ALL OVER the first few times I did it, so I know its working all my muscles!
