go by your body type. some will lose faster than others. sounds like you are going about your weight lose in the correct way. your co worker may be losing the wrong type of weight. keep in mind that muscle is a much more dense tissue. therefore, it requires more calories to sustain itself. a pound of muscle can burn up to…

i am not so sure about that. your target heart rate is resting minus maximal heart rate. a good way to figure is this: thr=[mhr-rhr]x (training intensity %)+ rhr. mhr: maximum heart rate (220-age. ) not the most accurate way. rhr: resting heart rate training intensity ( 60-80%) hope this helps

I find that if i eat junk food, no matter what time of day, that is all my body wants. are you getting enough fat in your diet? the good fat. not fried fats. hormones and moods effect mine. just start tomorrow clean and what you normally would do. dont beat yourself up. it happens.:happy:

i agree with all the posts. even though you are outta work, you realistically should not work out that much. your body really does need time to heal. they do all those hours for only a short duration of time. if you did work at that intensity, you would burn out. or hurt yourself and set yourself back. listen to your body,…

hey. jillian is great. i did all levels for the 30 days, plus eating well, and i dropped 2% body fat. i am 37 and was down to 19%. i had to stop due to a foot injury, but started again today. good luck and keep with it.

thank you all for you thoughts of support. My gma made it through surgery; a long and difficult battle, but non the less. she is now back in the hospital with pneumonia. i went to the dr. for stress management, and she adviced me to do some blood work. my results came back abnormal, so i go back on friday to find out what…
