^^^^ I have around 6 pounds to lose to hit goal. This above is how I started thinking. Instead of worrying about the last 6 pounds I am working on getting fit and stronger.

^^^ Same here. I noticed when I concentrate on my breathing it would come down as well.

I asked my doctor about this because it worried me as well. Explained to her that on some days doing the same exact exercise I would have a much higher heart rate and would go at moments over 200. She asked about my water intake for that day and told me to start paying attention to possible dehydration. She said when your…

Everyone can figure out what works best for them. But for me I am set at 1200. But I eat 1200 net. If I am hungry I eat back my exercise calories. If I am not then I don't. If I am under on one day it lets me be over on another day. I go by the week not the day.

^^^^^^ This, listen to your body. My body is always telling me I want beer. So I listen. I need my exercise calories! :drinker:

You are already set at a deficit. That is why MFP gives them back to you because eating them you will still be at a deficit and can lose weight. There is all kinds of opinions on here on should you eat them or not eat them. I think it is a choice and figure out what works for you. What works for me.... If I am hungry I eat…

I double my protein. I think it is too low.

When everyone says I am set at 1200 calories does that mean Net or Gross? I think the topic can be confusing unless you are saying net or gross behind your 1200 number. I am set at 1200 and eat 1200 NET. So I am really eating more than 1200 calories.

I don't have insanity:( But I do have P90X, P90X+ and Turbo Fire and do a hybrid of all three.

:)

cool

LOL! Good one.

Never used the word rude. You are reading my post how you want to read it. Because I never even used that word. I said when you ask a question and people tell you to go read, look it up or research it can make you feel bad. Like you are not supposed to be asking a question. That was all. I was not disagreeing with what she…

Ummm, I think that is taking it a little extreme. Don't want to "crush" anyone. My point was simply to say that when you are new, ask a question, and told look it up, use the search field, this has been posted 1000 times go read. It does not feel good. I did not think the above post was bad. Was just telling her that I…

Why be dumbfounded. I was just stating a fact for me. As a new person it made me not feel welcomed to ask questions. Is it ok for me to have an opinion too and it not match yours? See, when I started on here I did not read rules from MFP that said you must search before you can post on a topic or that you can't post a…

Oh no, I don't feel bad now. LOL! I was just meaning that as a new person someone saying that to me made me feel bad. Right or wrong. It was just the feeling of "why are you asking a question that has been asked over and over" go to the search function. Chalk it up to me being new and a little scared to even post a…

Seriously Clark? LOL!! good one

I don't think anyone should be made to feel bad because they asked a question instead of looking in search. When I was new I did not know what the search was even for. I was just trying to figure things out.

:drinker:

To be honest with you when I was new and asked a question someone responded to me just like you did here. It made me feel bad and not very welcomed in the forum community.

I did two rounds of P90X. You can check out my before and after on my profile. Love it and will never stop. But! I did buy Turbo Fire and now am doing a hybrid between the two. Turbo Fire is so much fun that it was a nice addition. Chalean is just so motivating. Good Luck!

I fell in love with P90X last year after trying all kinds of workout DVD's. When I started P90X this is when I really started to see a difference. I also started Turbo fire and now do a hybrid between the two but I don't think I will ever stop P90X.

DO measure weekly. You could be losing inches even when the scale is not moving. DON'T measure your success by just what the scale says. Weight fluctuates.

Same here just hang in there. My first round of P90X I felt stronger when complete but I really saw a difference in my body after round 2. So it was actually 6 months for me to say to myself Damn this program works. But I was also learning how to eat right. Really worked on upping my daily protein intake, stay with calorie…

Welcome!!!!!

I really think bone structure has a lot to do with it. Even if I am in shape and have a normal BMI my butt and thighs would never allow me to be a zero. My skeleton could not be a size zero. It's just how I am built.

I have done both. Don't be scared of P90X. I was in the beginning as well. 30DS is ok. Really depends on your fitness level. The workouts are around 20-30 minutes long. I did them for a couple of weeks and got bored plus I was looking for a bigger calorie burn and more weight lifting. I have done 2 rounds of P90X and I…

Wow! Huge difference! Hard work is paying off! Congrats!

Love this video!!!!! I also do P90X and Turbo Fire. Chalean does motivate you and make you want to be her! Congrats! You look amazing!

You are eating less than me and I am a female. Eat back those exercise calories. Give your body fuel. Your goal should be to hit 1500 calories net not gross.
