no advice here, just interested in what others have to offer....May I ask how you got into crossfit? Sounds fun once im more fit lol

thanks for the tips!!

i use PF, there is not a lot of options where I live and it is cheap. I don't have any problems with etiquette there and the machines are all in good repair and I never have to wait. honestly, at least the one I'm at the 30 minute work out is a waste of space though, I have never seen one person use it in the intended way!…

whoops...maybe that is why I am more sore today, I did pretty intense cardio yesterday, and the day before, immediately before I did weights.

ok thanks, maybe i will try doing weights 3 times a week...I tried to do a pretty comprehensive routine as far as working my full body instead of concentrating on one area, since its all needs work. I definitely was paying attention to my form, and it was hard, but I didn't feel it was impossible or that I was totally out…

ive just been going with what MFP tells me, Id rather under estimate the calories ive burned than overestimate and eat back calories I shouldnt be, and I do think that MFP overestimates the calories burned (that or people overestimate the effort they are putting in) for somethings. i guess unless i have a HR monitor there…

thanks for all your help! So far I am liking it pretty well, only real complaint is that the bathroom is not always very clean, just a lot of TP and stuff on the floor and looks like it could use a once over a little more often. Otherwise the equipment is all perfect for me and I like all the TVs (although some of them…

I joined today! It is awesome, more equipment than I expected!! And a very good deal! thanks for all the advice :)

thanks! yeah I have heard a lot of good things about YMCAs but there are none that are closer than like 30-45 min from me and I am really busy during the week and just know I would never make it out that far!!

thanks for all your advice! maybe i will try it out....i dont care much about tons of weight machines as long as theres a few and it close to my work! thanks everyone

anyone?

any more advice is welcome!! I know have a few more days for my food/exercise diary. Ive been really good about logging food, I went way over yesterday on my calories though :/

thanks! what is the processed foods i should be cutting out? sorry i dont really know what that means.

i have made my food and exercise public if anyone would like to view it, its really only updated for today and yesterday but i will try to keep at it, wont be updated again until tonight as i will be at work. i have been trying to eat better yesterday wasnt great but not too bad either, slightly over on everything i…

thanks for all your advice!! i tried eatiing more than just a banana at breakfast and so far it seemed to help at least a little with my hunger at night. thanks for all the positive posts, I hope to get things on the right track for myself! And to answer questions yes I do exercise but am not able to increase a lot right…

i try to have at least one rest day a week to give my body a chance to recover, its good for you! plus its nice to have one day a week where i can sleep in :D

yeah i put it in as circuit training too, I think thats what most people do for 30ds, as least that i've talked to.

just keep at it, day 1 and 2 were the worst for me but now im not sore at all :) also its okay to take days off it will just take you longer than 30 days to complete the whole thing!!

i have done 3 days of it. i started with working out first and then later doing 30ds, day two i was so sore i just did 30ds and then yesterday i did 30ds and 10min on the elliptical right after, and im not even a bit sore today. id say just play it by ear and see how you feel. also i am taking days of 1-2 a week for rest…

sometimes i just dont believe how much mfp says i burn. if i think it overestimates i just change it to a shorter amount of time to lessen the calories burned, i never add more minutes though bc i never feel its shorted me. i mostly just base it off how much effort i think ive exerted, its pretty much just a guessing game…

i am the same! i fluctuate between 116-119 through out the day but i am 5'1", hoping to eventually get to like 105 or so.

i just started it but ive heard really good things! I did day 1 of level 1 yesterday and i am way more sore than i get doing 20min on the elliptical and then lifting so it must be doing something!! one tip ive gotten from others about it is to pay attention to how many inches you've lost versus lbs because some people say…

omg i did it for the first time today and that one kicked my butt!! i am not coordinated enough at all lol

thanks for your advice! i really like oatmeal so maybe i can try that. what are lentils? haha i know, im dumb! i just had some sushi, a vegetable roll w/ carrots, cabbage and avocado, and an avocado roll. so good and i am really full!

i usually try to have a rest day or a day where i only do like 10min on the elliptical and then do strength training. you can def over do cardio, which i have done before and it sucked because then i couldnt do any for over 2 weeks because i hurt myself! i was running on the treadmill a lot and had been going to the gym 2x…

kabarnes- i just found them on amazon, i think the videos should work for my PC via the download option there. and its so cheap! that does not include getting a DVD though, correct?

i agree with easing them into it and about watching the pads. asphalt and concrete can be hard on their pads as well as very hot for them in the summer! when i had a dog i ran with i wouldnt let him run on the sidewalk/road if i wasnt able to comfortably stand barefoot on it, if it was too hot i ran him on grass or not at…

okay this may sounds stupid but what does torrents mean? i am not very computer saavy...lol

i didnt know you could get it on itunes, thats awesome. i suppose i will have to download itunes and check it out. thanks!

thanks for your advice! i found it on youtube but id really like a download so i can do them in my apartments small fitness center, which is usually empty so i wouldnt be bothering anyone. i live on one of the higher floors so it bothers other people who can already hear you walking around when you are now jumping around!!…
