I wouldn't worry a lot about it if your not hungry. Just don't do it everyday. I think you may be looking too much into it. Just relax =) Making good decisions doesn't have to be hard all the time. Being over on your protein is not bad at all, I might add. Protein is good. Very good. Especially if your working out. As for…

You should probably be more worried about sodium than calories. In general stay away from the breads and soups. A salad is always good considering you do not use a lot of fattening dressing, croutons or cheese.

They're both right :) Your doing everything correctly with mfp- it takes the guessing game out of it

nut!

They have both monitors but the chest strap is what I suggest, it's more accurate. Even with the chest strap and watch (as they usually come together) you have to question the caloric burn but you'll work that out. What I said was that it over estimates for calories burned during exercises. And as for food, you should…

Oh and mfp generally over estimates heavily! It's really a failed system in that sense because there is no possible way they could tell for sure

Just like any other exercise it's different for every single different persondepending on a lot of things like intensity of the exercise, the work you put into it, how much you weigh etc. No one will know besides a heart rate monitor :flowerforyou: Hope that helps

Sugar.... not too much to be terribly worried about, especially if it is coming from good sources. Usually just one piece of fruit and I am over the amount I'm supposed to have, needless to say I'm over EVERYDAY. Now, sodium makes a HUGE difference for sure! The American Heart Association suggests the MAX we should consume…

Not sure about the cheat day.... seems like a containdiction because this is supposed to be a "lifestyle change" but I feel like whatever works for people is fine. As far as the diet foods, you can always compare labels. Usually they have the same ingredients with less of said fat calories or whatever. Diet coke vs.…

People who are "consuming 1200 calories a day" are also working out a lot to be able to eat more. Technically they are eating more but that is all that's being counted because the other calories they are exercising off, know what I'm saying? And that's just a general statement, there might be some people who eat 1200…

I mean... what about diet? Technically it's all bad for you for several reasons. What you have to decide is how much your going to drink and are you willing to work all those empty calories off? 170 cals every 12 ounces or so, right? Plus a billion carbs which are HORRIBLE and a toooooooooooooon of sugar. Really it's up to…

Clean up the around the house or stuff that "kills two birds with one stone" small steps like taking over pumping the gas if your husband usually does it or giving your child/ren a bath, do stuff the hard way at home and work. Pick a machine that burns the most calories in the shortest amount of time, jillian michaels 30…

Sugars aren't really something you should worry about considering they come from fruits, veggies, etc. It doesn't ALL have to come from those sources but as long as the amount your over equals the amount or less that come from good sources then your fine. Sugar has a lot of leniency unless your a diabetic or something like…

The first week you will lose the very most. As weeks pass it trails off but congrats on your loss!

I love being your friend and you've accomplished so much! You skinny girl!!!

Dr. Drew!! Definately unconventional! hmmm don't know why but yes! lol

The best thing to do is ask your doctor, dear. More than likely he will encourage it and then just modify some things. They still want you to be healthy and they encourage exercise especially if you exercised before-hand :)

Why is "eating clean" and "cleaning your system out" a big deal anyway? What's the purpose? Why is it so important?

Wow! You look absolutely amazing. This is by far one of the best before/after pictures that I have ever seen and you deserve so much praise! Your beautiful! You don't even look like the same person

This is wonderful and your so wise. A very big congrats! I think this about people all the time who complain and then forgo the same old routine as you once were.

anything besides drinks that have caffeine or a significant amountsof sodium

DEF. sodium and fat. They are crucial. Feel free to add me please.

Very nice~! I can definately tell!

I wouldn't suggest doing that. Technically you can but the idea is for you to change your eating habits and eat better and more wise. I occasionally eat a "hamburger" with no cheese and with green pepper and mrs dash to season the buger on 35 calorie wheat bread. The hamburger meat I have is all natural 97/3 so the whole…

awesome!!!

Everything upbeat. Drake- you the best. Ciara- the whole evolution album. Drake and lil wayne-goin in. Beyonce- almost all of her cds got some fast songs that really work.

I'm in tears in front of my husband looking like a fool :) This wonderful

There is a thread of people who are all starting 30ds. It just began today but your are welcome to join within the next week. We are all doing it together. "Kick *kitten*" is right. 20 very intense minutes of cardio, strength, abs, etc. It is suppose to replace "hours" at the gym. This is my second time starting. The first…

Day 1 of level one under my belt. Went to the gym this evening after class only to find that they were having a pilates class in the room that I usually do my 30ds. I was so let down. :( I did my regular cardio and strength training w. plans on starting tomorrow. BUT guess what? :blushing: I did it AT HOME!!! I decided…

I am in! This will be my second time starting. Last time I got through 5 days of level 1 and developed a knee injury. Just got back in the gym yesterday so Im rearin to go!!! I personally did 1 LB weights & they still killed me. Among many other places the DVD is available at Walmart for 10 bucks. You will also need a mat…
