Hey all, just got the fitbit one and I am bit confused about a couple of things. First, I synced it with MFP and it picked up my first meal of the day but none of the other meals I have logged in MFP are showing up in the Fitbit App so is there something else I need to do? Secondly, according to MFP I have about 800 more…

Then you should definitely check it out. I herniated a disc in my lower back a couple of years ago and this exercise has been perfect for that. What's also kind of nice is how much DDP really emphasizes making the work outs your own and modifying things as needed. I also like the fact that because of it's low impact nature…

DDP Yoga is a fitness program created by former professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page. He developed it after he suffered a pretty severe back injury during his professional wrestling days. I have been doing it for about a month and I love it! I don't know much about Yoga but my understanding is that most of the…

Thanks for the suggestion. Fell off the wagon for a couple of days but I have now been doiing the fat burner, which seems like somthing I could do everyday, maybe I will add the Red Hot Core.

Thanks for the response! I have been doing the Energy work out everyday and I am working up a bit of a sweat even with this short work-out. I think I probably may start to mix in the other work-outs just to see how those feel.

I started it last week and so far so good. I started using MFP back in March and I lost around 30 pounds in combination with using Power 90, the precursor to p90x. After finishing p90 I tried to move on to p90 Master Series but I kind of got off track and then my herniated disc starting really giving me a hard time again…

Glad to see there are others doing this program. i discovered this because a buddy of mine posted Arthur's videon on Facebook and when I got to the end and realized he had achieved these results from DDP I immediately ordered. What appealed to me so much was that DDP developed this progam as a result of a back injury very…

I did it for about four months a couple of years ago and you really have to give it a try to determine whether it's right for you. What I liked about CrossFit is that no matter how great of shape you are in you will end every work out feeling completely "wrecked". All the work-outs are timed so you will be pushing for a…

Thanks for all of the information I will check these site out. I already have Robb Wolf's book but I have only read a small portion of it so I will probably give it a read. I was just looking for what people have experienced and their opinions. I honestly never anticipated so much debate and emotion from such a basic…

Thank you for this response is this is what I was thinking. I do have a history of diabetes in my family but I have dodged the bullet so far. I do tend to be predisposed to gaining weight. I was not over weight growing up and I was in what most would consider excellent shape in my twenties and early thirties but I had to…

Thanks for the responses, and some humor;-) Unlike some, I don't view any particulary diet or exercise plan as a religion I am just lookiing for what works. I have had some pretty solid success in losing weight and putting on muscle since I started this journey four months ago but I am looking for ways to up my level of…

Also, what is "modified paleo"?

Wow, Cant a guy ask a question;-) But seriously, I am not sure why this would be a controversial question, it seems pretty legit to me. And let me point out a couple of things. First, I obviously know that reducing calories is a huge part of losing weight but I am looking for more than just weight loss. I am looking for a…

I trained for, and ran the LA Marathon, back in 2010. I started my training in September of 2009 and I weighed 260 and by the time I ran the marathon in March I was down to around 235. At the time I was not really monitoring my diet very much and I certainly was not counting calories at all. As a matter of fact, I would…

Well I have never been a "morning person" but I find that what helps me is that I really look at the early morning as my "me time" so that I look forward to getting up early. Once my day get's going, with work and family committments, I find it harder to take time for myself. Plus I just feel a lot more productive during…

Well I willl just pipe in here as well. For years I ran every day and lifted every other day. At the time I was running six miles per day so did not even bother with doing and lower body stuff at all. From a fitness standpoint, however, I have gotten my best results when I have done cardio and resistance training on…

I have to agree with Africangirl on this. I was not really gaining weight but for the whole month of June my weight did not budge, not a horrible thing considering that I fell of the wagon a bit , but it was really frustrating. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that it finally caught up with me and I got serious again and…

Personally, I think there should be restricted areas in gyms, and many other places, for making calls. Of course a person should be able to use a phone to surt the web, listen to music, etc. Honestly, it occurred to me the other day how absolutely dependent I have become on my cell phone. I was going out the door for a…

Between 5 and 7. Our four year old usually ends up in bed with us and basically moves the whole night. Getting kicked in the head every few hours makes it a bit difficult to get int a deep sleep;-)

Thanks for the response everyone! mwilley i will add you as a friend and please feel free to share you experience with P90. I was very happy with the results but I am happy to move on to something else or at least have some more options. I literally can recite almost everyone of Tony's lines at this point , which is really…

I would definitely agree but I have to hedge a little bit and say that many healh issues are a direct result of lifestyle choices. While there are certainly major illnesses that come up that can devestate a person which have no relationship to anything they did most of the health issues we have in the US, at least, are…

For me eating breakfast is really about making sure I have the energy to function for the day and , most importantly, giving me some control, and consistency, in my eating habits. I know everyone operates differently, and has different levels of self control, but when I do not eat breakfast right after I work out in the…

This really sounds exactly like my story! When was in my twenties my daily work out was to run six miles every day and then every other day I would head to the gym and lift weight for about 45 minutes. I was pretty much addicted to working out and it also probably made it so I could get away with the weekly partying I did…

Thanks for the post Heybales! I have lifted weights for years, however, my primary focus was usually cardio, spending hours on the treadmill. But for the past few months, in addition to using MFP, I have been doing Power 90, which has a good mix of resistance and cardio training. What I have found interesting is that my…

Thanks for the great responses. I think another issue when it comes to age, which may be part of my issue, is that when we get to a certain weight we become psychologically used to it and it becomes part of our identity. It is then hard to believe that you could ever weigh what you did ten or even twenty years ago. And…

I used to be a pretty hardcore runner but after herniating my disc a year and a half ago I primarily walk. I honestly can't stand to walk on a treadmill, unless the weather is an issue, which is rarely the case in SoCal. But I sometimes preferred running on a treadmill because I could control more variables than I could…

I started at 260 on March 22nd and I am down to 236. I lost the first twenty pounds in a little over two months but in addition to counting my calories with MFP I have been exercising religiously as well.

I work out in the morning. I am not a "morning person" but I just find that if I don't get out of the way right after I wake up the odds of it happening tend to lessen. I also find that my day seems to go better after I have worked out.

I used to be a gym rat but I have lost over twenty pounds in the past two months, and achieved more strength and definition than I have had in year working out at home doing Power 90. The program can get pretty boring but it has a good mix of resistance and cardio.

Well I can only speak to my personal experience but I am pretty big guy and I lifted weights consistently for about twenty years. Due to herniating a disc about a year and a half ago I had to back off completely. For the past two months I have been doing Tony Horton's Power 90, using nothing but Resistance Bands and my…
