Right there with you. I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I've been eating super-clean, going to CrossFit 3x week and working out at home 1-2 days a week. I know I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been. But I went to a nutritionist and weighed in at 130 - 6 pounds MORE than I weighed a few months ago!…

Hi! I just started P90X as well, and I found this tool to help log calories burned: http://p90xcalories.com/ Is there a P90X board here?

Thanks, all. I get it... and I'm eating much cleaner lately, so I probably need it even less. Curious to hear from a few "pro-cleanse" folks to get their side of things, but pretty sure I'll just be focusing on clean foods and more water.

So, really? That's all it is? Pooping your guts clean? EUWW. What about "purging toxins" and all that?

Nearing the end of my second week of level one and SO glad I found this group!! It's tough - my form suffers for sure on the second go-round! Question: If I'm not sore, does that mean I'm doing it wrong? :-P

Hi! New to this group and hoping it's still active! Just did the Shred (lost 3 pounds and definitely some inches, but haven't measured). I'm now in week 2 of 6 Week Sixpack, and trying to figure out how/when to work in Ripped in 30. I'm a working mom of 3 young boys, and my husband is working out of state currently. So I'm…

So, if you have a FitBit, and you're eating 15% less than the burned calories it calculates, that's the same as eating TDEE-15%, right? (Sorry if this is answered elswhere!!)

How about other cleanses? I've heard about ones where you eat organic fruits and veggies (raw only, I think) and water - no animal products, no added sodium, etc. Has anyone tried those? Or any others? I've always been tempted by the idea of a cleanse, but the Master Cleanse doesn't sound like something I could survive.…

I'm living proof that this is true! After baby #3 I went right back to work (and nursing) and did not eat enough. (You're actually supposed to eat 300 more calories if you're nursing). The baby weight NEVER came off. My body went into starvation mode and stored all the fat. I lost most of the weight the following year,…

I'm 5'2" or so and in the same position as you. I was about 131-132, happy to be at 125 and aiming for 122. I put on a bunch of weight with baby #3 that hasn't entirely come off in 6 years. I'm getting close! Stocking up on Jillian Michaels and low impact cardio videos because I don't have time for the gym. (Working mom of…

Totally agree -- diet, exercise and water. Losing weight safely and sensibly is the way to go. Sounds like you're 100% on the right track with zumba, water aerobics and strength training. Keep it up!!

HI! Aimee from NJ. This is my second time doing The Shred - did it back in 2007 or 2008 and was pleased with the results. I'm a 40 year old working mom w/ 3 boys, and I get my workouts done in the early AM. I'm doing the Shred most weekeday mornings, breaking it up with cardio. Cardio for me is usually 3-5 miles with…

I'm the working mother of three boys in elementary school. The only time I can work out is at 6:00AM (or a bit earlier) - before the boys get up for school! It was tough to get started with this, but four years in, it's part of my life now. I can't imagine starting my day without hitting my "gym" - that is, heading down to…

I'm 40 years old with three kids...I'm small boned, and I'm setting my goal at 125. Would love to be a bit lower, but I suspect my pre-pregnancy 110 is a vain goal. I'll be happy to be muffin-top free and toned. Very pleased to see that, only a few pounds in, most of my pants (usually size 6-8 petite) are loose!

Green tea latte is actually pretty yummy...but not diet-friendly. I'm just about addicted to green tea with jasmine, straight up - no milk, no honey, no nothin'!
