  • I have had 2 c-sections and was able to get a fairly flat stomach, no Apron:-) These is a bit of a roundness in the lower abs but that is more the way I am built as opposed to it being due to c-section.

  • Hi syk731, I have done that when I have taken vacations. I have always exercised ( easy access since most hotels have gyms) and I eat healthy. This time its different since I doubt that my home town has any decent gym and my family back home is vegetarian and not necessarily focused at all on healthy foods. If you know…

  • I had a Polar FT7 and loved it! It lasted me well over 3 yrs. When it stopped working I dished out the big bucks and bought the FT60. Unfortunately just after a month or so the HRM started misbehaving....providing inaccurate read outs and numerous "check your transmitter" and "link with the transmitter lost" warnings:-( I…

  • I need to replace my current FT60. So disappointed with this purchase considering that it was NOT cheap!! It has given me nothing but grief:-( Fails to report the HR, loses sync with the transmitor, HR fluctuates dramatically. For instance it would go as high as 200bpm while I am warming up and then will show 65bpm while I…
    in Need new HRM - Advice Needed Comment by nagniho June 2013
  • Though I love to run...changes only happened when I cut down on 7 days of running to 4 days cardio+3 days of heavy lift. So agree that all the insane amt of cardio was not helping at all. Maybe it was my diet who know......maybe it was serious resistance training.
    in Repost? Why women shouldn't do alot of cardio Comment by nagniho June 2013
  • How do you even function with 900cals + exercise? Calculate your TDEE and eat at a deficit depending on how much weight you need to lose. if you are serious ask for help on the Eat, Train, progress group. Sidesteel and Sara should be able to help you out.
    in Can I lose weight just consuming 900cal Comment by nagniho June 2013
  • I love to run as well, the high I get after a stressful day cannot be compared to anything else I do for relaxation. As the previous poster wrote I too run on trails and my heart rate goes form 85%+ max to 45%-60% of MHR. Even when I run on treadmill I never run at steady state as it gets so mindlessly boring.
    in Repost? Why women shouldn't do alot of cardio Comment by nagniho June 2013
  • OK. Then you need to eat 1696cals/day. You are taking nearly 25% cut! How much weight do you have to lose?

  • Hmmmmmm..... not sure how you are calculating your calorie burn #s are you using a Heart Rate Monitor? Did you use the Scoobie link to calculate your TDEE? I highly doubt that it told you to eat 1200 cals!!! What did your TDEE comeout to be? What is your height, age, weight and BF% (if you know) and what activity level did…

  • One more recommendation if you are not already doing so... Fat loss is mostly what you eat and not how much you exercise. Some say it is 80% diet/20% exercise. I would strongly recommend that you get a digital scale and start weighing/measuring everything. You will be surprised how much we under-estimate food intake by…

  • Hi There! Don't make any arbitrary changes without doing proper research as to what your TDEE is! Use the link below to calculate your TDEE then make the appropriate cut to get to your goal. .5lbs/1lbs/week would be ideal and sustainable in the long run. http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ MFPs 1200 #…

  • Just got off a flight and saw your response......Thanks for the feedback! I understand your points above. Through the course of one year I have seen that I lose when I cut my intake down to 1350 and stop losing when I increase over 1400. So I do have the option of going down to 1350 if needed but i had noticed that I am…

  • As many will tell you here..exercising is great but weight loss is 80% of what you eat! How much are you eating and what did you base your caloric intake on? Open you diary so that people can review and help.

  • SS -I am barley managing to hit the last 2 reps on the heavy lift day. For instance today for bench press I had to put the bar back after the 10th rep and then wait for 30 secs before squeezing out the last 2 reps. I really enjoy this program. Makes me feel strong:-) Sara- On the question of Cardio. It is usually 60 mins…

  • Sorry about the duplicate post, not sure what happened:-( I have been thinking about what you said. I already exercise quite strenuously 5 to 6 days a week and am eating at apprx. 13% deficit ( TDEE at 1670). I am thinking of switching to P90x- 3 days/week and cardio 2 to 3 days. My day job is very demanding and requires a…

  • I am lifting 3 days /week ( min 1hr) and then running/strenuous hikes the remaining 2 to 3 days. So should I increase my cardio? If so then by how much? Do you think that the current 1450cals is OK for the exercise level that i am at?

  • Hi SS! You are right in your comments that #2 is what I would prefer. I am open to #1 as well but not sure how much "less" from my current intake (1450) I would go. #3 would be difficult since my weight is monitored very closely by my dance grp and any big bump up would freak them out as summer is where all the…
