Congratulations and good work!

I hit the 'start' button as soon as the warm up begins and end it after I am totally finished. Your body is still burning calories during your cool down or stretch and you are still moving so there's no harm in counting it in.

I just want to say thanks to heybales for all the help on the original thread. As a newbie it was very confusing for me but I think I finally get it. I've been slowing down the intensity of my workout regimen and eating more calories and I'm down 2 lbs already. Thank you!!

I got some great help yesterday in trying to understand how all this works and maybe I am reading too much into it but I am still confused. I've been back and forth between this thread and couple of other's (road map, eating your calories back, etc ) and I have a couple of questions. I know it's frustrating for the wiser…

Wow!! Very inspirational. Great job!!

After reading this again I'm confused. What is maintenance level, is that my BMR? I don't feel that I am 'dieting' per se. I am eating what I like (I've cut out sugar except from fruit) and am happy with what I eat.

Hi everyone. I just joined MFP a few days ago for the simple purpose of trying to see how many calories I am eating. I have not lost any weight in the last 3 weeks and had a feeling I wasn't eating enough. I started P90X on Feb 20 and at the end of phase 1 (30 days later) I lost approximately 10 pounds. In addition to the…

Thanks, and yes I was just telling my husband that I realized that I've not been drinking as much water as I did in the beginning. I don't know why that is. So today I've already started... down 2 glasses already. I only drink coffee, green tea, and water. Time to amp up the water intake.

I am going through the same and am so incredibly frustrated! 3 weeks also and zero loss. I haven't changed anything at all but I guess I need to start changing up my cardio. I have been doing P90X and am on the 3rd week of Phase 2. I was also power walking or doing some light jogging 3-4 days a week in the afternoon but I…
