  • Daily Burn is the best streaming exercise video out there. The programs are great and can be for anyone looking to getting some kind workout. The monthly fee low (less price than going to a gym). All of the instructors are great and by the way I lost over 50 plus lbs. since I started using Daily Burn in the last 4 months.…
  • Daily Burn is one of the best if not the best streaming exercise video. It is my primary fitness workout tool, but now that it is starting to get warmer outside I will start doing more walking and running. But I will continue to do Daily Burn due to all of the different programs that it have. With Daily Burn I kind of…

  • My family and I have been using Daily Burn for almost a year now and it is a great workout tool. The streamline videos are great to watch. I don't follow any of the programs, I just kind of use various workouts from different programs. Currently, I am getting some of the workouts from "Live to Fail", "Black Fire" and…
  • When I started my dieting, I started with a low carb diet eating just 20g of carbs or less. That seem work great for and I stayed on this type of diet for about 4 to 7 months before I started to learn more about all of the food groups. I started learning more about the veggie and fruits that I wasn't eating at the time.…
  • I did keep the chest strap wet as much as possible during the workout, but still was showing low calorie burn
  • Thanks to everyone that so far have replied to my question. I do believe that it maybe the HRM and I have been looking at possible purchasing an Polar FT7 HRM. I guess you get what you pay for and the HRM that I currently have did seem to work great for about 2 or 3 months. I knew something was wrong when I did my…
  • I have a Oregon Scientific HRM (got it for a Christmas present) and I have found out that you get what you paid for. I spend about $50.00 for this one and the HRM is not accurate at all. When I first started using the HRM, everything seem to work just fine, but in the last 2 months after some great workouts my calorie burn…
  • I have close to all of Billy Blanks Tae Bo workout DVDs. This includes all of his Boot Camps and AMP Tae Bo DVDs. The title that you stated, I haven't seen before. But what I can tell you is that it is a good workout if you are just starting out. I kind of look at all of his workout DVDs for a person whom haven't did a…
  • I remember 20 yrs. kids was outside playing all kinds of games, or we would go to the basketball courts to shoot some basketball. Then we would play some softball in various leagues. Now when I go to a park, I don't see as many kids playing, don't even see many kids outside now. Most are in the house playing video games.…
  • Like everyone says, everyone body is different. Now I am speaking from experience on this subject. I have been throught so many diets, usually I would lost 30, 40, 50, even 60 pounds on each diet. During those diets, I would pretty much stick to the diet plan with very limited cheating if any. Each time when I reached my…
  • I actually uses some of the Exercise TV workouts as some of my daily workouts. I have the ON DEMAND channel through my cable provider and started checking out the Exercise TV channel about 8 months ago. They have some great workouts, some of them are very Extreme workouts. You get a lot of difference workouts with the…
  • I am a firm believer in having at least one cheat day per week. Just make sure you only keep it just that one day per week or month or every two weeks. I do feel that you do need to reward yourself every once in awhile. Also once you reach your goal, you will not start eating everything in site. That is once of the…
  • Nope...... Life is just to short and for some of us it can be shorter than we thing. Enjoy yourself. Just enjoy the moment as well.......
  • The Polar FT7 seem to be the most popular one on this site. They usually cost about $108.00 at various stores ( Sears, MC Sporting....). They are consider one of the best to get. I got my HRM from Walmarts (a cheap brand that isn't a Polar) and it does what I need it to do. Mainly to count my calorie burn. All HRM does…
  • Depends on what you want the HRM to do. Most people here at MFP likes the Polar models. I got my from Walmarts, I only was looking for something to check my calorie burn, nothing really fancy. The one I got from Walmart was about $40.00 and for me it does what I need it to do. The Polar models are more popular on this site…
  • Make sure that if you do eat your exercise calories, that the calories that you burned thru exercising are correct. Once I started using a HRM, I found that what MFP stated I was burning, was much higher than what the HRM was stating. One example is that the Turbo Jam workout that I do the MFP states that I burned over 650…
  • Thank you, the website has some great points.....
  • Welcome to MFP, if you need a friend on this journey, you can add me on there. As I always say... "KEEP THE FAITH"....
  • While you are on this journey, just like others posted, you will have setback, lapse and sometimes just want to give up, but don't. You will be tempted many, many times, but once again just keep the "FAITH". Try if possible to do some form of exercise every other day until you feel good enough to workout up to 5 times a…
  • I uses Bootcamp DVDs (Tae Bo, Turbo Jam, Kettle WorX, Hip Hop Abs just to name a few), I uses Circuit Training for workouts that isn't listed in the database. you can google "circuit training" if you want a better definition of it, that was what I did and felt that some of the workouts I did fell into that. I hope that…
  • Once you lose the weight, that is the easy part. The hard part is making sure that you keep the weight off. You will find that your will have more energy and when you look at yourself you will be very proud of what you done. Also any health issue that you had may go away, now some health issues may not be related to your…
  • I use to take my coffee with sugar and cream for a long, long, long time. When I decide to lose weight, I also decided to just drink my coffee BLACK with no cream or sugar at all. It took me awhile to get use to it, but just as I am determine to lose weight, I also was determine to just drink the coffee without the other…
  • When you decide to lose weight, it should also be a life-style change as well. I had the same problem, lose about 60 to 70 pounds only to gain back all of it as well as more. Now I am not only trying to lose the weight, but also change my way of eating and to continue to workout at a min. of 3 to 6 times a week. What I…
  • Walking to start out your workouts is a good start. There is a lot of workout DVDs out there now that is good for people that is just starting out. Billy Blank Tae Bo is a great one to start out with. They can be under $9:00 and some of his DVDs are easy on beginners, only the advance DVDs can be tough for beginner. There…
  • Look at it as a challenge that you will have to endure during your weight loss period. My family (wife and twin kids) are always cooking cookies, cakes or have potato chips and a lot of other things around the house. Ice cream is there everyday ( my wife and son favorite), but through all of that, I maintained the course…

  • I am treating the hoiidays just like my vacation days that I took during the Summer. I ate what I wanted to, but I walked every morning for about an hour or more. If I really ate a lot, I just did a lillte more extra walking or sometimes jogging. When I got back from my vacation ( pretty much the whole month of July ), I…
  • I also plan to enjoy the holidays by eating what I want on Christmas day. I know that for some people it would be tough to get off the diet plan, but since I have been on my diet plan, I usually take time off from it when I go on vacations and during various holidays and birthdays. But I make sure that I continue to…
  • I have a cheat day, and it is always on Sunday. On that day I just eat what I want to and that is my relax day as well, where I don't do any workouts. That following Monday, I am right back on the my eating plan. From reading everyone posting, some people only cheat with one meal while others like myeself do it for the…
