If you are counting your housework as exercise, make sure your not counting it in your daily activity level. Lets say you work Monday-Friday and take 5000 steps through out the day, but you have off today and did some cleaning, it would not count because you are just making up for the daily day to day stuff you would…

The 1320 is without exercise so you would add those calories in and eat those. The 1700 insanity has recommended is taking in consideration the workout you are doing.

I would like to join! My weigh in days are Wednesday anyway, and I am trying to lose a few sizes by Christmas.

Great explanation! I think that is what confused most people... They don't realize MFP already calculates a calorie deficit.

Leslie Sansone Walk at Home... I tried those and became hooked! Now I have tons of her dvds.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Just to reiterate, for those who mentioned switching my meal intake around... I mentioned in my OP that Dinner is the only meal I have with my fiance and I prefer that I am able to having a decent meal with him.

I bought mine from Best Buy... it is different people but it is pretty much the same walk. There is a few new songs in there and the last mile is the "facebook" mile. She said she was going to read fb messages and replied on the tape but it was only 2 peoples messages that were read.

The new one is 5 Really Big Miles! It also comes with the toning band.

I pre log all my meals to have an idea of my calorie intake for the following day and see if I need to change anything before I eat it. Logging after the meals just makes it easier for me to go over my calories for the day.

Thank you for the replies everyone! One of the reasons I mentioned working off snack calories if because I work full time, come home, make dinner and I am going to school online part time. I'm not making excuses, I do make some time to exercise, I just don't have the time to burn hundreds of calories every night so I want…

I like the idea of 2 lunches! I am a teacher and I watch the children eat their lunch at 11 and then I wait til 1 to have my lunch (my break time!) But I could split the calories.

I'm in! This sounds like it could be fun

I don't usually do that at breakfast but I have definitely ate a day or twos worth of calories at dinner!! Make sure you eat something that rest o f the day or you'll be starving tomorrow... try to eat back and few calories and have some salad and chicken later.

That is a great way to think about it :-)

I know someone how did HGC (without the HGC!!). Her doctor recommended it to her, and he told her she could do the diet portion without the shots/ drops. She said it was just a placebo of sorts and really didn't do anything at all, it was just a ploy to sell it. Anyways, I know she did exercise while on the diet, she would…

Well said!

I think this is more so what she was talking about... the personal attacks. I think most people just don't see them because the threads get locked and taken off. I agree that there is different points of view and that is very healthy and we all need all the info we can get to make an informed decision but some people just…

Agreed. I do think it is important for everyone to be informed of both the pros and cons to whatever plan there are doing however there is better ways of doing that then out right telling them they are wrong. Give an article or two and let them read and decide for themselves. Also, some peoples idea of their lifestyle and…

I just wanted to mention I am not trying to promote under 1200 or over 1200.. I just want to post it so it could give everyone a little background, especially the newer people, so everyone can decide for themselves. Everyone thinks their way is right, however everyone's body is different as is their metabolism so I though…

I'd like to see the replys to this as well. I've thought about buying the set but I already had some videos and was hoping I could just use those and modify the program if I could figure out how much has to be done.

I buy a lot of items from Schwanns... I really like the rewards program but I am also interested to see if there is any similar companies.

I put it under circuit training... It said I burned about 250... Which seems about right, probably more since it is go go go! I don't know about you, but I was sweating buckets with it.

Thanks for the answers everyone! I've been doing this for about 2 months now and have kept off about 7 pounds. I lost 50 pounds about 5 years ago and was able to keep them off for about 4 years (very unhealthy way!!) and I think my body is having a harder time giving up the pounds because of it.

The Panara here has the calorie counts listed on the menu. I was so excited when I saw that!

Yes she did... Take a look at her original post again... It says people get snappy and it was directed to those with anorexia

Thank you! I was thinking about using them more for Breakfast/ Snack type things on the go. I'll give maybe 1 every once in a while a try and see how it goes.

Congrats!! I just got engaged 3 weeks ago.

They had some workout clothes when I worked there in 05

Thanks for the tips. I am being careful not to use up all the extra calories, however I am not hiking for weight loss. I did it once last year and really liked it! I felt so accomplished afterward and want to make a hobby of it. I figure with a new active hobby that I enjoy, I will also have some weight loss which will be…

I'd like some information on the 17 day diet! I've heard of it but would like some more info... Could someone send me a PM with how it works? Thanks!
