You should just stick to one, the one you weigh in on more often and follow that scale. So, the 9 lbs loss could be accurate, as the scale at the gym would just say you're 9lb heavier than your home scale does. It's about consistency, really.

If you are only eating 1200 calories period (and not net), I suggest you eat more - eat what you burn from exercise. Also, you try changing up your workout plan -> add in more strength training, change your cardio, try a new class at the gym, pick up running, etc. It's hard to tell without seeing your food diary.

I have started using Five Fingers recently. I really like the KSOs. I have been starting to run in them (working up my foot strength). I get about 1 mile or so in them right now and will increase over time. I also use them for workout DVDs. :smile: If you decide to try them, you need to remember to take it easy, that your…

peanut butter and bread? In season veggies shouldn't be too badly priced.. or frozen ones. A package could last you a couple meals. Or maybe make a chili from canned beans & veggies - generally decently inexpensive, and when I make a big batch it pretty much lasts me 1 meal per day for two weeks.

Try to remember that this is a lifestyle change, not a diet. If you can't live with it forever, then forget about sticking with it. It is okay to go over your calories every so often. :flowerforyou:

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. I have avoided eggs (and egg whites) a little bit the last couple weeks since I have been getting a little sick on them. :tongue; But, beans for the salad is a good idea! I will collect these tips and use them, thanks! :smile: I have been drinking a lot of water also (and get a bunch…

Yes, you get used to the pace once you start to learn the choreography. You'll get it! :smile:

Depending how long my stall is, I may have to try the inferno plan though.. just to shock my body a little. We shall see. :tongue:

I had thought about it for a little while.. but that is five days on quite a calorie deficit with a lot of working out, so I haven't done it. I am doing Turbo Fire month 1 right now though, and like it. :smile:

As a woman, don't be afraid to lift heavy! You don't have the hormones to bulk up. You will get smaller and leaner! :smile:

tagging. Sounds yummy :)

I'll have to try these. Thanks!

Sometimes you have to just keep working at it. Hang in there. :flowerforyou: How much are you eating calorie wise? Are you eating back your exercise calories? There is a possibility that you might not be eating enough.. as sometimes that will slow down progress too.

This is a really good one! hehehe. I'll have to keep that on my list. :P

you could also be eating too little.. eat back your exercise cals too. With such little weight to lose, it comes off slower and should be done more slowly.

Well, lets see - especially for the Push phase, you go pretty heavy. The heaviest I personally went (for my strength) was around 30-35 lb dumbbells in each hand for squats. I have a set of power blocks/sport blocks that I use. It really depends on your strength - because she wants you to reach failure by your last rep…

I just finished CLX - and I have to say, my tip is don't be afraid to lift heavy. There isn't a drastic difference in my before/after pictures (actually I don't really have a before picture, but I have a 30 day and 90 day). However, over the course of the program I lost 7 lbs and 5% bf. So, pretty good. :smile: That's…

Have a nice mini-vacation! :smile:

Polar is the best brand. Maybe a Polar F6, it's a good model and on the minimal side (not with ALL of the bells and whistles), but better than the F4. :)

It completely depends on what you're doing, but I would have a protein shake or chocolate milk at least after the strength training workout. This will help cover some of those calories (or all of them depending on the shake) and help give protein to your muscles. :smile:

Glad you're having fun! A lot of people would just give up when they don't get the moves. But, it's good to keep on going. :smile: Good for you! You'll both get them too!
