1 a week is recommended, unless for some medical reason you need to lose the weight faster. :glasses:

Get a good heart rate monitor so you can push yourself and have the confidence to know that you are working out safely.

Hi I'm new to the group. MFP says I should only eat 1280 calories a day and this is very difficult for me. I can hang in there till about 1pm then I lose it! Any suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I try to eat 4 meals a day at 300 carlories each starting at 7am. I also eat back all of my exercise…

I've been using the Polar FT60 for about 4 weeks It gives me just enough details to keep me exercising safe. This one requires a chest strap.

I'm 42. I work out 5 days/week. A combination of strength conditioning and cardio. Works great.

Just joined today. I've been on MFP for about a year - off and on. Sounds like a great group of Ladies!

I was doing great with my weightloss until I started drinking Diet Coke. I gained 15 of the lbs back in the same time I lost 30lbs. UGH!! No more Diet Coke for me - back to H2O.

Welcome! We're all friends here. :love:

Pizza.

Whoop!! :wink:

every day but I only log my weight every 2 weeks.

Pro-Gun.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a friend LusciousLioness who does it. LusciousLioness burned 1987 calories doing 195 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Metamorphosis by Tracy Anderson (OMINICENTRIC) 45 minutes" She does it almost every day. good luck!

Keep the bread. I never totally took it out of my diet, but reduced it substantially - and watched when I ate it too. I ate maybe 1 - 2 servings in the morning and 1-2 servings early evening and still lost a ton of weight. Good luck!

Height 5' 6" Weight 155 Age 42 Daily Calorie Goal 1240 (not including exercise...that's what MFP says - but I eat more..) Ave weight loss per week: maybe 1lb if I've eat right Exercise of choice - running ( 5k + including 200m and 400m sprints, hill, etc) weight lifting Starting weight - 180 in Jan on MFP - I've been as…

I need to remember the first picture.

Miscalc intake for sure.

Yup, I need chocolate every day when TOM is in town.

I hit a wall for exactly this reason. I am eating more. 1500 calories or more a day. So, I just tell myself I'm in maintenance - and try not to gain more than 1 - 2 pounds and HOPE I can get this train movin again.

Move. If you don't have a lot to carry (wife, kids, pets, antique furniture that's been in the family for 100 years, etc) I would pick up and go. I grew up in Hawaii, and I moved a lot after college but with family and alll - I've been in Colorado for the last 12 years. I get the itch to move every 3 years. Enjoy!

They will tone your legs. Women are not built like men, so we don't "bulk up". Lift hard, but do a lot of reps (around 12) and you'll be fine. Have fun!

2.5 slices of pizza. YUM!!

Just try your best to stay under your calories. On days I don't work out, It's hard for me. But, a little over won't do too much harm.

Gotta have carbs, so I can work out. Protien so I feel full longer. Works for me.

It's a high - fat diet, which means you don't feel full, like when you eat meat or veggies. But, you reach your calorie count faster. I would switch diets.

Yah, I feel you. I will literally feel full, but will eat anyway. sucks. I just try to work out to make up for the extra calories, or wait longer before my next meal - stomach growling. I'm concious of my weight and I'm doing something about it, so I don't feel too bad when this happens. Add as a friend, I could always use…

GREAT STORY!! I workout at the gym with my husband. I may ask him a question about how to use a new equipment, but mostly I ignore him. He -on the other hand - want sto chat and gets mad if I don't ellipical with him. He'll move his schedule to meet mine so we can be at the gym together. Good luck dude.

I just started! Week 1 Day three today. I'm pretty busy so I may have some extra rest days. I'm also training for a 5k in mid May so will be doing some cardio prior to Phase 2. I'm excited! Using this program as a way to train for the Warrior Dash - Copper Mountain, CO in August 2012.

I love number 2. I'm using it as I train for Warrior Dash. :glasses:
