I generally burn about 10 calories a minute - if it's a 20 minute HIIT workout, I burn about 200 calories. Yesterday I did fire 45 and burned about 500 calories. Of course, this is just for me and based on how hard I am working, but the only way I would know this is with my HRM!

I think so, she's in a different outfit and in a different location depending on the workout. In the HIIT workouts she's in the front row on the left side of the screen and I think she's in a yellow and black outfit in those workouts.

does anyone have someone n the class that they watch? There is a woman who has really long dark brown/black straight hair that is always loose that is so energetic that is a little strange looking.

today was Fire 45 - 500 calories burned!! FIRE!

I bought a HRM last year, it's one of the best investments I've made... turns out I burn a fraction of the calories any elliptical or treadmill estimates, and that explained why I wasn't loosing any weight (counter productive to eat back 800 exercise calories when you only burned 350 in reality). Now that I'm doing…

can I join the group?? On week 4 of a TF/CLX hybrid and loving both. I'm not building as much muscle as when I was doing P90X, but I'd rather get lean than bulk up anyway. Today I did: HIIT 15 - burned 160 core 20 - burned 160 CLX burn 1 - burned 260

whole wheat matzo with a tablespoon of almond butter and sliced strawberries - yum yum

I'd love to follow this. I have a wedding to save for and student loans to pay off! Groceries are getting expensive!

many have already addressed the problem, and I am sure there are others who will also add and do so better than I can. Your body needs to net 1200 calories to avoid starvation mode (more for some of us, I have mine set to 1400), if you burn some of those through exercise, your body needs more to avoid starvation mode. If…

ditto - love turbofire

grew up with it in CA anlive in the middle of no-where upstate NY with very few grocery options - can anyone say walmart? Totally miss their frozen foods, cheese selection, dried fruits and nuts and even juice!! yum yum

I never went through the full lean program (only about 8 weeks since I was borrowing the DVDs) but I defnitely noticed a difference and weight loss!!! I'm small and already in fairly good shape so didn't see a huge calorie burn with my HRM for the strength exercises, but my goal was to alternate cardio and strength -…

I think a healthy understanding of calorie content is essential to being healthy - I find it super frustrating when my fiance's mother complains that she can't loose weight, but drinks 2-4 glasses of wine every time we're there for dinner, has tons of pasta, cheese and drowns the salads in dressing! She's obviously not…

I make my own tomato sauce in summer and can it. I roast the tomatoes in the over on a low setting for hours with just a tony bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, then put them through a food mill to catch the skins and seeds. best way to control the nutritional content. This recipe sounds amazing

no tips, I have the same problem. I'm hoping that someone gives you a great tip that I can steal. I have a feeling you just need to find the motivation and then get in a groove.

I'm not saying I have no friends... I have some, but let's be honest, not a ton on this site. That's fine, mainly I've tried to find/start groups for the particular workouts I'm doing (turbofire and chalean extreme)

polar F6 based on the reviews on this site at the time. I did a search for heart rate monitor on the message boards and did a lot of reading. Love mine!

I agree, it puts me off a bit, as I've seen groups I'd love to join but can't because I missed the boat and never saw the original post. I've also tried to start groups for similar things that just never take off, so I'm a bit jealous of the support the people in those closed groups are getting that I'm trying to find.

I consciously don't log the clove of garlic I chop to put on chicken, veggies or add to canned diced tomatoes. really? for the 5 calories, it's not worth the stress of remembering. I do log all fruits and veggies.

there's a lot of debate on these boards about eating exercise calories - do a search of the boards to get a lot of info and opinions. If you enter your exercise into your log and put in a calorie amount, it will increase you calories allotted for the day if you choose to eat them.

you could used reduced fat cream cheese and baked pita chips instead of fried tortilla chips

Thanks all! all the suggestions are greatly appreciated... doesn't seem like it should be too hard! Happy Passover to all and welcome to this season!

I've done P90X (not fully, I had to return the disks half way through as they were being loaned to me) and you really need to eat back your exercise calories - I think one of the tips of the day is eat enough! Protein is good since you're building muscle, but your body is probably in starvation mode, so any calories might…

I used to live in Grafton, MA but moved to NY 2 years ago. I can cheer you on in spirit!! And on MFP!

that my most used foods for each meal were the first few things I entered and used for the first few weeks on the site, but are things I now no longer eat, making it harder to enter more commonly used items

I go to my farmer's market when the season allows (and by in season produce when at the grocery store). If I'm going to be spending more on food, I'd rather it go to a farmer in my area where he might then be spending money locally, then to a national company's CEO's pocket. I have a great local farmer's market, but it…

I was doing P90X before for lifting but had a borrowed set of DVDs which had to be returned. I decided this was a good time to change it up and like ChaLEAN better since so many push ups and pull ups are hard on my joints ( surgeries on one arm, one surgery on the other for orthopedic injuries).

I am supposed to do turbofire 55EZ today and am having a hard time getting my butt in gear! the goal is to get it done this afternoon!

a pedometer might be a good investment - counts your sets since you're not walking distances. they're not too expensive.
