Great start on week 4. I wish there was 2 cardio days instead of 2 total body circuits. I've gotten better at them but just can't seem to look forward to those total body circuit days.

I only burn 110 calories but it goes by quick and I enjoy it, I'm pretty sure its not needed to advance progress.

I really like having a blender that is capable of making spinach smoothies.

stretch day........ ahhhhh :happy:

incredible results, so inspiring

Well done!

I missed Wednesday so my double workout was today. It was tough but I pushed it. Felt good to do so well on my 2 least favorite workouts. I am looking forward to stretching tomorrow.

Your amazing success is just the push I needed to get me to do my exercises today. Thank you. I needed that! :smile:

speed 1.0, nailed it :smile:

I am no expert but your numbers sound normal to me. My max's are much higher than the numbers you posted but my averages are similar. My workouts include insanity, extreme shed and shred, t 25, treadmill. For myself I am not at max 100% of the workout. I am only in zone 1 if I am not exercising. As I start exercising I…

You should be eating exercise calories on top of base 1200. Are you set to lose 2 pounds per week or 1 lb per week. If you are set for 2 pounds then reduce to 1 pound per week.

Week 2, done. Love love love the stretching.

amazing

I think its great you got professional advice. I agree with it completely. I hope you post again down the road with results of how increasing calories worked out for you. By the way, great progress. Very impressive. Take away all her exercise calories off 2100. That puts her at a very reasonable deficit. Eat back the…

for variety spread half the cookies with peanut butter while hot, it cools into a glaze

Cardio still my favorite workout. Did much better with total body workout this week. Tightened up my shoes and got a rubber mat to put my hands on to stop them from slipping. That enabled me to put more into the workout. I actually burned 84 more calories this week on the total body work out then I did last week. Keep up…

wow fantastic results!

spinach smoothie(tastes like dessert) - spinach tomato fresh pineapple banana baby carrots with water or real juice for liquid, also good with avacado but that really increases the calories. bio protein bar for breakfast, beans, sardines

I really liked it.

A probiotic will probably help.

I believe the 500 calorie method works as a large picture. We all know there are fluctuation circumstances and not all loss is fat. We all know that as we lose we have to adjust our calories. Calories in has to be adjusted as the body becomes more efficient. The 500 calorie method is a solid method if we have solid…

So happy to see you up and around! I have been patiently awaiting your post surgery post and as always you did not disappoint. Enjoyed your photos. You are a true inspiration to those of us struggling. I ran into my own health problems and began an unhealthy yoyo as I fumble through it. . I am learning the true meaning of…

I think this is so smart and you are on the right track. It wont hurt you if your calories fluctuate a bit but if you incorporate things like watermelon and strawberries you would be amazed at how much you can eat and feel satisfied. Sometimes eating is more habitual then anything else. For example in front of the tv have…

I am not a sufferer but my husband is. Make sure you are well hydrated and have a look at these common triggers and see if they are apart of your everyday habits. http://www.joybauer.com/migraines/common-trigger-foods.aspx

Yes, all my water comes from cold water cooler and I get cold but for me it works both ways, I drink hot tea and I warm up.

things you can always find at my house bio protien bars tilapia or basa loin frozen chicken breasts Lean steak fresh broccoli spinach watermelon pineapple bananas clemintines baby carrots peppers mini potatoes yogurts lettuce mrs dash kettle brand baked potato chips popcorn black licorice cigars dark chocolate I make the…

Boo on my total body circuit workout. I got thru the first 2 workouts like a champ but today I had trouble with all the floor work. The floor is too slippery and the carpet seems too not slippery. Also tighten up your shoes for this one. I wear mine very loose for circulation and they were trying to slip off during all the…

I always agree with asking your doctor. Have you tried electrolyte drinks or just coconut water before you start or after you finish. If you have reduced your sodium as part of your healthy lifestyle it may be as simple as that. Good luck.

If you are logging your food you can be confident in knowing where the gain is coming from. Unless you ate an extra 3500 calories you didn't gain a pound of fat. It will be water or waste. Monthly cycles, extra sodium, new workouts that stress the muscles will all have you retaining water that will flush naturally. If you…
