Totally agree with this! Carbs are NOT evil. Make sure you're taking in the right kind of carbs, complex carbs. They comes from fruits, vegetables, yogurt, quinoa... These carbs are good. The evil/bad carbs are refined carbs! White rice, white bread, pasta, sugary breakfast cereals... Too much of these carbs will cause…

I totally understand what you're going through! I've only been NETTING like 650 calories or so because I burn off about 400-500 cals through exercise. I've been trying to increase my caloric intake by taking in more 'good' calories though. I have this nagging feeling that my metabolism is screwed but I feel amazing and NOT…

Ahh but what if I can't get a heart rate monitor..

I'm 5"1 and 103 pounds. Yesss i know it may seem that I'm already at a goal weight but I'm really not! I have problem areas like EVERYWHERE. Belly pooch...flabby arms :( I'm hoping to slim down to about 92 pounds! Add me :)

I've decided to quit the scale for about 5 days or so. I don't want to feel depressed over 'fake' weight gain.

I'm 5" 1 and 103 lbs. I still wanna lose though. Through healthy diet and exercise, I hope to be at 92 pounds.

!!! what's your routine?

I am 5' 1" and about 103lbs. I should add that I am asian as well, thus my small frame. These stats may seem tiny and small to you but I have problem areas like a belly pooch, and chubby arms. And no, I am not skinny fat. I am bordering on being chubby and am trying to lose those last few pounds of fat to be at my goal…

Same here! I log EVERYTHING, the night before. I plan my breakfast, pre-workout, post-workout, lunch and (sometimes) dinner. I like to log my exercise too so I know exactly what to do in the gym. Looking at the calories i've burnt makes me more committed and motivated to go through with the exercises I've logged! I feel…

There was this dude that was lifting weights at the gym and moaning REALLY loudly and sweating a ton. He didn't even have the decency to bring a towel! Instead, he was just using pieces of tissue to wipe off his sweat and then proceeding to PLACE THEM ON THE FLOOR. Sweat-soaked tissues on the gym floor. DISGUSTING.

People who come ALL THE WAY to the gym, to walk at 3.0mph for the next 45 minutes, not challenging themselves and hogging the damn treadmill! People who come in SLIPPERS and proceed to go barefoot while using the stationary bike. Uh, ew? Nobody wants to use the bike with your sweaty footprints on it.

Low fat chocolate milk! Gives you the carbs you need, high in protein as well :)

I take GNC burn 60! It's a thermogenic. You need to exercise and eat clean in order for it to work. It is just an aid to help you along your journey. It isn't a 'magic' pill so there is still hard work involved.

Exactly. Thermogenics aren't exactly diet pills because you need to exercise and eat clean in order for them to work! Normal diet pills promise weight loss without exercising and allowing you to eat anything you want - this isn't healthy. As long as I am eating right and working out, I don't see why thermogenics are a…

OH FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS! A lot of people on MFP assume that I'm borderline underweight/have an eating disorder once they know my goal weight and my stats -_- I am eating clean and trying to net at least 1200 cals a day (though this is still low, but I AM trying as I see the importance of eating more). But it's…

Physio-burn? What does it burn? I thought of trying CLA as well but I"ll try burn 60 first though I heard CLA can be taken together with burn 60.

I've never stated that I was overweight...I just want to lose overall body fat and gain muscle.

Oh god no please do not make any assumptions that I have an eating disorder. I'm not eating ONLY 400 calories. I try to net 1200 and am struggling to do that even when I burn 400 cals through exercise. I am healthy, I eat healthy foods and drink lots of water. I am NOT skirting underweight, did you even check? My BMI is 20…

What do you mean by 'not as much bang for your buck'?

Eat clean!! Add foods like fruit, yogurt, wholemeal bread, peanut butter, eggs, lean meat (chicken breast, steamed fish, salmon) to your diet. Would you rather eat 1200 calories worth of junk food or 1200 calories worth of healthy food? I would rather you exceed your calorie goal on clean foods than unhealthy foods. It's…

I completely understand about the over-estimating part. I take into account the errors that MFP might make when clocking in my calorie burn. I read on forums that they subtract 10-15% of what MFP tells them that they had burned and use that number as a gauge instead. As for food, I quick add calories here and there to add…

I think I've hit a plateau and am trying to speed it up a little bit more. My stats may make me 'look' small in your mind but I'm actually on the chubby side for my height. Flabby tummy/chubby arms and thighs. My weight may not prove it but yeah, I do have quite alot of fat I need to lose.

According to the Katch Mcardle formula on fat2fit.com, my bmr is 1155 calories. Since I workout 5-6 times a week, my TDEE would be 1920. So how many calories should I NET on top of burning 400 cals a day on exercise?

But did they work for you though??

You mean to say that pills like these 'suck' energy?

WOW! great results :) I am on day 2 of level 1. My thighs and butt ache but my arms and abs don't :( I think it's because I did alot of strength training for abs wayy before I started on the 30 DS? I'm gonna be progressing onto level 2 soon as soon as I get my form perfect for the strength exercises!
