I do P90X, P90X+ and Turbo Fire mix for awhile now. I also have issues with some of the jumps because of my knees so I just modify. For example when they do the rockstar jumps I just do jumping jacks. Tony says through out to modify whatever you need too. Actually over time I was able to do some moves that I could not when…

Today.

I broke down and purchased a heart rate monitor. I did not trust MFP's calorie burn or I could not find the exercise. HRM was a great investment. I found I was logging to high of calories using MFP. I don't know where to find it other than DVD. I do know people who find friends that have the set and then burn copies (but…

I use to think you had to starve to lose weight. When it came to working out I use to think there was things I was not capable of doing and that was for "fit" people. Not understanding doing those things (even if I had to modify in the beginning) is what gets fit people fit.

^^ Agree. Even if it does not help weight loss the health benefits are the most important.

I would research them and find customer reviews. I did that and ended up going with a Polar FT40. Amazon is a great place to for reviews.

I have done both. I started out with 30DS but found that it was not long enough for me. With my thyroid problem I need to work out 45-60 minutes a day. So I moved to P90X and have had the best results. The great thing about P90X though is you can just modify the moves until you can really do them. Tony even says through…

I use both.

I use to hate cardio. I would get out of breath as well and it made me want to quit. I had a friend who kept telling me to think of my heart and lungs and they need a work out a couple of days a week too. When I would have to go upstairs at work I hated that I was the person at the top that was out of breath. So I kept…

Measure. The first two months on MFP I did not see the scale move. But I measured weekly waist, thighs, hips, etc... Every week I lost a 1/2 inch to an inch over all. The scale does not tell the whole story.

If you like Beer try Mich Ultra. 96 calories and 2.6 carbs. I can have 3 beers instead of one small cocktail. But that is just me. I like beer. :) Also agree with Lugemachine above. One night won't derail your progress. Have fun!

She said "net" :drinker:

I am sending a cheers to anyone who uses Gross or Net in their conversation about 1200 calories today. Well done sire! :drinker:

Can you imagine how this site would change if everyone would start using those two words? Possible the daily bickering would calm down a little... maybe? Ha! Well, maybe not.

1200 Gross or 1200 Net? Which one are you talking about. They are two different things.

1200 Gross or 1200 Net. I don't know which one you are talking about?

OMG! I just love you for using the word (gross) when talking about 1200 calories. :happy:

:drinker:

:happy:

:flowerforyou: Awesome. Love knowing Net or Gross. It is two total different conversations.

I wish there was a new rule in the forums that said when you talk about the 1200 calories you are set at that you are eating NET OR GROSS. Without one of those words next to the 1200 then the conversation really can confuse new people. 1200 Gross means you are only eating 1200 calories a day period. 1200 NET means you are…

1200 net or 1200 gross. I wish people would be specific.

^^^ :)

Oh my my... I totally agree. How can netting 1200 calories be too low when I am eating 1800 and losing weight.

^^^ Ummmm, you totally missed my point. My point was not to change MFP. Everyone can do what they want. I am not telling anyone what to do. I am simply saying the way it is designed works for me and many others. So I don't want the site to change. I am the last person to tell you how your body is and how you should lose…

Exactly!

^^^^^ This!!!! When people talk about this subject on MFP this is never discussed. There is a big difference between grossing 1200 calories or netting 1200 calories. I netted 1200 calories yesterday but I ate 1675. Big difference.

Do you measure? I was stuck for two months as well! I know how frustrating that feels. You are working so hard but not seeing results on a scale. I measured every week and kept a log. Measured Hips, Stomach below and at belly button, arms, Chest and thighs. It was an amazing eye opening experience. Week to week I saw…

I say this is the nicest way. If you don't like the way the site is designed then don't use it. Why try to change it when it is working for so many others. Find a site that is set up how you want it to be. I like MFP. Understand how it is supposed to work. And it works for me.

I don't want MFP to change. The way MFP is designed is working for me. I don't think they want you to eat 1200 calories. I think they set you at that if you are not going to move all day. To me it is encouragement to work out. That is why they have it set up that if you work out then you gain calories back to eat. I have…
