Have any of you doing T25 done Rockin' Body? How does it compare?

More muscle= higher metabolism. I think what I would do would be to alternate days. Do a few days of strength training where you are eating well, especially protein. Then have some low days where you do cardio and go for the deficit. You could do alternating days or 2 on, 2 off--like upper body one day, lower the next then…

My period has never affected my energy level that I've noticed. Do you take a multivitamin? I've noticed that when I don't eat wheat I don't have the crazy cravings. PMS I have been known to eat crazy amounts of sweets and that makes me sluggish.

The thing is that if I do it that way I haven't lost any inches, but the amount I can pull it tight has gone down. (I'm doing 30 Day Shred)

I have no advice really to give you, but I feel your pain. In the last 2 weeks I lost 5 lbs on paper, but only 2 according to the scale. Last summer I got really upset because every night I would hit that stupid button and get told if every day were like today I'd be at my goal and it never happened. The first 90 I lost…

I wear a BodyMedia monitor and according to it the 30 Day shred level 1 burned 120-183 calories--I think the days I was really sore I dragged *kitten*. I'm only on Level 2 now and so far it burns less--115-140. There of course is a margin of error because the monitor is counting everything and I have to isolate that…

My hole was getting "in for a penny, in for a pound" when I ate something extra or missed exercise. It was like "this day is already blown and I'll be back on my diet tomorrow so I might as well eat everything I've been wanting to eat today." Or I'd do the "I'll start my diet Monday thing." Now I see that days stretch 24…

Hourglass and I picked the exactly right! Yay me!

I totally agree! I am older so I think I have a different perspective. I gained weight in my 20's and lost it. I gained weight in my 30's and lost it. I gained weight when pregnant with my kids and I just now lost it. In my 20's when I gained weight I was eating a lot and making poor choices. Losing the weight was a matter…

I think 3-2-1 cake is easier and actually lower in fat and calories. Mix an box of Angel food cake with a box of any flavor cake. Put 3 tbs on a mug wiht 2 tbs water and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Fast and easy!

I totally agree! Most of us need a lifestyle change, not a diet. We need to learn portion control and how to accommodate splurges without getting derailed. Want a fat juicy steak with a loaded baked potato for dinner? Enjoy--jsut make sure you exercise more and eat lower calories the days before and after. If you diet down…

Thank you and congratulations on the huge weight loss!

I have the Bodyfit media which I think is like the Fitbit flex. It gives a lot of information besides jsut heart rate. I love it! I also like not having a chest strap on.

I have a Bodymedia band which monitors my activity. It is very generous in what it says I burn--it gives me 900-1500 a day. Before it started syncing wiht MFP I went by MFP's count which was lower. I can't really say how accurate it is because the situation is different. I'm losing less weight than I was but I am also a…

BMI is very inaccurate but I'm not sure I trust the scales either. I have a hand help fat monitor but I'm not sure if I trust it. For myself I know that over 150 I am overweight so the closer I am to that the better. I have also heard that the fat checkers are less accurate in the morning because supposedly you are…
