Look into her new video series that just came out this spring called Body Revolution. It's pretty awesome! I like it a million times more than 30 Day Shred.

Polar FT7 all the way!

Yeah I was thinking of leaving it on sedentary but I am actually leaning on using MFP just for food and then put all my workouts on Fitbit. That way I don't have to deal with the workouts in MFP and Fitbit just gives me one big adjustment. Either way, I'll see if it works. I've plateaued for the last few weeks so I want to…

I use my fitbit all day for everything. It never comes off my bra (I clip it there) unless it's being charged. It tracks my workouts but for me the main thing I love it for is that it monitors my activity all day long. I have MFP at sedentary since I'm a grad student sitting at a computer all day. I workout everyday and…

Bump

bump :)

Ugh! I totally know what you mean! I've been givin' it for the last 2 month and I've only lost like 5 pounds ish. I've been steady for the last 2 weeks and struggling with eating back calories (I workout out 1 hour+ 5 days a week so it tells me to eat 2000 calories on some days - bleh). I'm happy to hear that you broke…

lol! That's awesome :P I'm 26 right now but looking 19 is pretty sweet. Thanks hun ;)

Aha! Thanks :) I was trying to figure it out lol

Hi Nicole :) Sounds like you're on the right track! 50 lbs can seem like a lot but that's what I want to lose too. I lost 45 last year so it's very doable!

Hey :) I'm in the same boat. I started out last year and lost 40lbs but this year I've given it another go to lose some more weight and all my friends are gone :/

Hey Matt :) The calories burned isn't that bad but you really need to know yourself. I'm a grad student so I'm at a computer most of the day so I ended up putting my settings at sedentary. I also recently bought a fitbit (It's like a super fancy pedometer which is quite accurate for calories because it monitors you all…

You can eat back your exercise calories and still lose weight. The 1200 calorie limit INCLUDES the deficit to lose weight. Exercising is just extra calories burned that you are allowed to eat (and encouraged to do so if working out hard).

I think that's a large over estimate. I did 1 hour of Zumba last night at our gym with my Polar HRM and I only burned 650 calories. I'm 230lbs and it was a pretty awesome workout but I think 900 calories is quite high.

What do you do to get THAT much of a calorie burn from your workouts? lol. I looked at your food dairy and noticed the 3200 cal from workouts. O_O

Ok, see that makes sense to me. I've been doing a lot of digging and reading about the deficits and calories and whatnot (I just got a fitbit a while back and it was fun to try and understand the adjustments and the extra calories it gave, etc...). So, yeah you answered my question. I should be eating back exercise…

I have a Polar HRM that I use for all my workouts so I think my workout calories are pretty good. I mean even a HRM isn't 100% bang on but more accurate than just the machines or whatnot. I'm pretty confident with the numbers.

Thanks Rubybelle, that's kind of what I've been leaning towards. :) In a normal day MFP gives me ~1300 cal to eat. I eat about 1500 cal on a good workout day, less if I don't do anything. So I do eat a bit of my exercise calories back. I generally get like 500+ extra calories which would pump up my MFP limit to like ~1800…

I'm in :)

Probably the best thing right now would be to try and cut down on cakes and high sugar foods. I remember when I started at the beginning on Sept - my problem was snack foods. I would always grab easy processed snacks which didnt help in the calorie department. Try cutting out cakes and sugars for a week or so and then just…
