If you're liking Jillian Michaels then I'd definitely suggest her kickboxing fast fix dvd. It's actually a lot of fun and definitely burns a lot of calories with a little bit of toning exercises too. Workout 1 is for upper body, 2 is for lower body, and 3 is for abs. They're 20 minutes each so I usually pick 2 to do…

Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown! It really challenges my muscles.

I'd probably get the insanity dvds and maybe the brazil butt lift dvds too. I'd also buy cuter workout clothes and a membership for group fitness classes! I'm dying to try body pump and body combat.

I log it as kickboxing at about 150 calories per 20 minute video.

I'm a little confused by your question. Every time you look at your fitbit, it will show you how many calories you have burned TOTAL throughout the day: this includes the calories you burn just by being alive (bmr) plus what you've burned through exercise. So, whatever your fitbit says at the end of the day is how many…

I'm currently 5'0 and I fluctuate between 105 and 107 on a daily basis. It's a very healthy weight, not under and not over. But everyone has a different optimum weight. I think the best thing to do would be to consult with a doctor - it's always good to get their opinion when you have a large weight loss goal. I wish you…

2 mile run - took about 17 minutes. 6 week 6 pack level one - 30 minutes. :)

Jeanette Jenkins Bikini Bootcamp. It has chapters for toning and abs as well, but the cardio chapter is awesome. It's only 28 minutes but you'll definitely work up a sweat. Or, try Jillian Michaels kickboxing fast fix. So fun!

Well just keep in mind that the calorie deficit is what will make you shed pounds. Whatever your net calorie goal is on MFP, that's what you should have and if all goes as planned you will lose weight on schedule. So as long as you're at that net calorie goal, working out more isn't really necessary. When you get to your…

I'm starting college too so I've researched this a lot! 1. I recommend getting a fitbit...I like that it shows me how many calories I've burned throughout the day, and therefore how much I can eat. 2. Check your college's website, they probably have the nutrition info for dining hall food listed somewhere. Plan what you're…

Fiber and protein are what make you feel full. Try Kashi Go Lean Protein and Fiber bars - they're peanut butter and chocolate flavor so it satisfies the sweet tooth too. They're about 200 calories, a decent snack for the long stretch between lunch and dinner when I get hungry!

Okay, thank you for the answers everybody. I will change my settings to maintenance and keep working on the toning!

I have the Just Dance for wii. I don't use it as my "workout" but I do it sometimes with friends and family just for fun. If you dance a lot it could definitely help you burn calories & lose weight, but keep in mind that the calorie counts it gives you are WAY off. It'll say you burned 200 calories in one song which is…

I'm 5'0 :) I just finished losing 13 lbs, now I'm focusing on toning up and replacing fat with muscle :)

From New Hampshire, but I've lived in Scottsdale for a couple summers and I visit family there every spring :)

English muffins...I LOVE them but my whole family does too. Same with Kashi Go Lean protein and fiber bars

KICKBOXING - I'm obsessed! I like that it's fun and interesting and such a great stress reliever.

I used to hate working out and dreaded it every day, but now I LOVE working out. Every 2 weeks or so I have a "day off" and I actually don't like it =\ 1. It boosts my mood. 2. It boosts my confidence because I know my body is improving with every move. 3. It's a boredom buster. 4. The knowledge that I'm so much healthier…

Strength day for me! I did Chisel Camp and Ab Camp from Jeanette Jenkin's Bikini Bootcamp dvd.

I actually worked at a small Dunkin' Donuts for about 2 years (ages 14-16) and it was nothing like what was described above. The only thing we did do was leave the decaf coffee out for too long (because hardly anyone would buy it so we'd never have to rebrew). It really was fine though - I'm kind of a germaphobe and I feel…

Staying at 1200 seems easy to me now because my appetite has shrunk since I started watching what I eat. Also, it's easier for me because I'm very small (5 foot 0, 106 pounds) so I require a lot less calories to functions. What really helped me is that I eat VERY often (probably every 2 hours) in really small amounts.…

I did 30DS eding about a month ago. It gets easier I swear! It's amazing how strong your body becomes - By the time you get to day 20 and start level 3, you'll look back on level 1 and think it's a piece of cake! Just keep up your motivation and stick with it, your muscles will adapt. And yes you do approximately 10 days…

Recently I've been obsessed with Jeanette Jenkins Bikini Bootcamp! It's really tough but I think it's actually fun.

I just got one for my birthday (about a week ago) and so far I really like it. I always thought I was pretty active throughout the day (besides my workout times) because I rarely stay in the same room for a long time - I have to walk around a lot. However it makes me realize that I need quite a bit more activity to reach…

I definitely recommend her Kickboxing Fastfix DVD.. it has 3 20-minute workouts (one for upper body, one for lower body, and one for abs). I think it probably burns more calories than 30-day shred, because it's heavier on the cardio and less so on strength moves. But it's wicked fun and a good stress reliever! You'll…
