interested to hear about this.... bump

P90X lean is 4 days cardio 2 days weights... if you're doing other cardio exercises, I would stick to those and do the 2 P90X weight days. I tried P90X lean and found it was too 'easy' for me. I moved to P90X classic where we do 3 weight days/week. On my cardio days, I do Plyo X and kickboxing classes or interval running.…

Me 2!!

LOL! I actually put my gymbag or something behind the door so if someone tries to open it, it will be hard to push :tongue: Needless to say it's happened to me too.

Must try it! Thanks!

Awesome! I bet it's a big noticeable change! 4.5 off the waist that's amazing!

So Happy for you! keep it up! It is difficult but if it was easy, we would all be fitness models! My 5 yr old daughter kindergarten class made bread about 3 weeks ago and she has been insisting that I make it at home (she loves bread!). So, yesterday, rainy crappy day I decided to make her happy. Made the recipe. I have 4…

This is great! I got my first cassette I was in grade 8 and in the hospital for a short stay. My aunt bought me the Dirty Dancing soundtrack :blushing: The first one I bought on my own, with babysitting money, was Janet Jackson (I think it was called Control)

Scrambled eggs. Mix a couple of eggs with a 2-3 tablespoons of cottage cheese (instead of milk). Results in a fluffy yummy scambled egg. Protein packed breakfast.

Good on you JKLEMAN79! They took over 1/2 our gym to put that 'huge contraption' in there for TRX. And they won't allow regular gym members using it unless with a trainer! WTF? I should build my own.. but then I wouldn't use it because of 2 kids bugging me constantly at home :happy: Gym time is me time!

for a quicker way of cooking spag. squash, cut it in half and put 1/2 face down in about an 1/2 inch of water for about 10 min (until noodles come off easy with a fork and aren't too crunchy).

I live in Ottawa, New Brunswicker (Acadian!) at heart:drinker:

Do you mean TRX? I tried a couple of TRX demo's at my gym, they are very intense indeed... if I could afford the trainers, I for sure would!

I know it's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that we need to eat more to lose weight. We all did the fad diets, low cals, etc.. but I just recently learned to make sure I eat a minimum of 1200 cals/day. If I work out, I eat enough calories to net a min. of 1200. ex: eat 1200cals then workout for 200cals = 1000cals so…

bump :) I'm going to start Insanity soon too!

Yes, I emptied the 'juice' from the packages, put the tofu in a large bowl and crumbled it with my hands :) It's almost fun.. like playing in dirt when we were young:happy:
-
Been there. Done that. Here's what I did: I had my weight loss per week setup at 2 lbs/week which gave me 1200 cals per day. This is darn near impossible without fainting when working out twice/day. So, I changed the setting to 1 lbs per week, that gave me 1350 calories. I also realized that sometimes not eating the…

I have the same issue and it's depressing. My intensity is the same but my calorie burn decreased quite a bit. I always burn around 200-300 cals for an 1hr workout where it used to be more like 500cals. I find it depressing because I workout the same and I feel like I don't get as much benefit. I even asked a friend of…

I feel the same way. I do workout .. and sweat quite a bit... but I don't feel like I had a workout like I normally do at lunchtime.
-
I think all the members on this site are slightly obsessed.. including you and I! reason being, we are constantly monitoring what we eat, when we eat it and then on top of that, we all workout and want to find out the best way to lose weight or get in the best shape of our lives. I find FitnessPal more addictive than…
-
well Stacy... you are now 2lbs lighter than I am although we both met at 177 on a plateau :) that said, you still burn more than me? what do you do that I don't do?
-
sure. bodyrock.tv is very good but it may be a little too advanced and long for someone just starting to exercise. I would suggest checking out sparkpeople workouts on youtube. They are easy, short and most without extra 'tools' :) I did those when I started working out again post-cesarian. Please check them out.

:laugh: I'm not quite there yet! If or when I have rock hard abs like in your picture, I'll make sure I hire a male 'secretary' !

worse: lat pulldown (why, I keep losing grip!) favorite: squats (strong legs so I feel strong doing them!)

It's so much fun to hear all your stories! I guess we pretty much all have the same 'problem' with taking compliments! Its quite funny because, isn't that what we're doing this for? To be healthy (off course) and to look/feel good! But really, I think for most of us, it's to look good! I don't consider myself unhealthy, I…
-
Yes! I've said that too 'Thanks! I still have a lot of work ahead of me' or 'yes, now if I could just stop that evening snack'!!! But after reading all these wonderful replies, next time I'll answer: 'Thanks, I appreciate the compliment'! It does feel good to hear it from a stranger or coworkers! It's nice that they go out…

:noway: Holy ****! I am totally floored! Unbelievable. I want to print your after picture and stick it on my fridge for motivation!! I want to congratulate you on all the hard work and dedication you put into this! I've had weight issues since I was a teenager. Sometimes I think it might've been all in my head since now…
-
wow.. I am surprised there isn't more Ottawans that replied to this post! Just you, me and Scotty! So, how are you doing Charlie? Still on this MFP and chucking along? I've been on MFP since just before Christmas I think. It's been ok for me but I just realized I wasn't really using it well. I work out every day but wasn't…

Natural: the website you suggested are for runners I think... do you know if they can be used to track weight lifting or circuit training? Thank you both for your suggestions! hopefully I'll find something to my liking :smooched:
