    in A NSV and my first time posting here. Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • I would say definitely include your family. I have a son 12, and 2 daughters 10&7 and they all help me stay on track. They're also watching serving sizes and calories as much as I do. We never use the words fat and skinny but we do talk about serving sizes and whether or not what we want to eat fits into our goals for the…

  • Wow! It never fails to amaze me how rude some people can be. Yes, this question has been asked before but new people come in every day and don't know how to use the site. Also, people learn by asking questions. If you don't like the thread or can't be positive and helpful to everyone why post? I tend to ignore something…
    in Do you guys eat back your exercise calories? Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • Definitely need to work up to it. No one started at 60 minutes when they first began exercising. IMO every little bit helps and by the end of the week you'll probably notice yourself doing better during your 15-20min workout. Like you won't be breathing as hard or sweating as much. Keep on it tho and you'll be rocking it…

  • Awesome!! I love it when my kids notice...they can be brutal sometimes but they're usually the first to notice a difference too! I bet that made you feel like a million bucks!:-)

  • I'm currently doing Ripped in 30. I'm on week 2...yes it's tough but once you get past day 2 of week 2 it gets better!! Don't quit like a friend of mine did!! You'll love it! Plank jacks and crow pushups kick butt!!!!!:-)
    in A guys 30 Day Shred Results + Pic Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • MFP always calculates my calories lower because it doesn't allow for resistance. I max my resistance and always burn higher due to that. I tried matching MFP one day and did...when my resistance was set at the lowest on the elliptical.
    in calories burned??? Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • Definitely can see the difference!! Way to go!!
    in A small NSV, but it's keeping me motivated (with pic) Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • I think it helps remove water weight.( kind of like the body wraps they used to do) I use one while working out too and have noticed a difference. Be sure to wear something that can absorb the sweat tho!:-) It really makes me sweat!

  • I saw a post somewhere that said to log it as circuit training and the average calories burned was 250.

  • This DVD is amazing! I've been doing the elliptical for the last couple of months but felt like I wasn't getting anywhere so I decided to add this to the mix. I'm only on my second day of week 1 and I'm so sore!!! I've never really gotten anything out of a DVD, I feel better going to the gym, but this DVD is AWESOME!! I…
    in Ripped In 30 Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • If you decide to get one I would recommend someplace you can hide it. It's easier to get along with it afterwards:-) I forget I have one most of the time. Mine is on my lower back but not low enough to be a tramp stamp. Or you could do that make up tattoo thing...never have to put eyeliner on again! I like that idea!

  • I'm starting this tomorrow...do you continue with your regular workouts or use this in place of them? Just wondering how best to get results:-)
    in Who's done the 30 Day Shred? Comment by mici0427 April 2012
  • Do you think maybe you VIEW yourself as having bits of fat because you lost muscle mass? I can't imagine someone who is 5'5" and weighs 105 to have a lot of extra fat hanging around. I understand having a distorted body image...I was anorexic for years and still have problems eating enough food. I'm always in starvation…
    in I'm in starvation mode and my fat gain is only getting worse Comment by mici0427 March 2012
  • Even tho the scale stayed still...I have lost 10 inches from my entire body, My 7 year old can put her arms all the way around me when she hugs me, and I don't feel my legs jiggle when I walk!!! I just noticed that one today;-) I wish the scale would move faster but I'm enjoying the small things so I don't get discouraged!!
    in Non - Scale Victories (NSV) - care to share? Comment by mici0427 March 2012
  • Definitely measure!! When I don't see the numbers on the scale move I pull out my measuring tape and usually see the difference there.
    in Hit a plateau - any advice? Comment by mici0427 March 2012
  • Another Michelle here too! I also go by Mickey except I spell it Mici;-) my hubby's doing:-) I'm looking for friends to help with my motivation and to help others. Since I've started my diet before MFP I've lost 10lbs and 10" Anyone feel free to add me! Every little bit helps!!!!

  • I'm 5'2" and 32 years old, who just noticed last week that my 12 year old son is as tall as I am!! I always knew it would happen one day but wasn't prepared when it really did happen!;-) I would love to share with others who fall in the "fun size" category as my husband says!
