How did u fall in love with working out? -and i feel the same way one month on-two off...and all over again its stressful and OLD!

Thank you, I think i am making up excuses all the time, reading my post again, i am thinking i need a friend, but i need me to wake up, pick myself up dust myself and continue on this journey, and i need to fall in love with exercising, thats what i need to do..now how do i do that?

I wonder that too, many people say it doesnt matter its natural sugar, some say that MFP cant differentiate which sugars it is...but like yesterday i tried only eating 2-3 fruits, and i had carrots and cucumber instead of a fruit snack, i tried cutting out fruit and adding more veggies, and guess what i went over 48g of…

I know how frustrating it can be, and i am in the same boat..i researched a little online, and actually the sugar intake and protein are a little higher then what MFP has... from other posters here and from people who have success stories, apparently everything has sugar in it almost..for example cabbage, i didnt eat it…

no its not, you can still wear ur old bras :) ...at least not for me, yes i did go a size down but i am also still wearing my old ones....

WoW i never eat fast food, especially not burgers, sometimes , when i used toget fast food it would be chicken, but i know those are filled with junk too. I make my own burgers, we actually get our own meat from Amish ppl that feed their cows with natural things, and dont put hormones in them. I don't even like buying meat…

I think your trainer is nuts. I certainly cant imagine a life like that. Basically you cant eat anything. I cant survive just on oatmeal and that other stuff that she is talking about.. I would ask her like someone said , to make me a plan what to eat for the week. Everything is full of hormones and bad stuff maybe the…

I have a Polar FT7 as well and the cheststrap does not bother me! ANd its pretty accurate. PS i got mine at "durhams sport store" for 89.99

I am 5'5 aprox and i burn about 210-226 cal according to my HRM some days are less and some are more, i dont know why i guess it depends how much i GIVE INTO IT ! :)

I just completed day 9, one more day and i am on level 2. Anyone having knee pain ???? I am pretty good at completing everything, except the lunges are hard on my knees. Also the 30 second cardio , jumping jacks , jump rope etc. Thats the hardest for me, i almost got it tonight without stopping, its hard, thats the hardest…

Good JOB everyone ! i had to take a "rest day" so today is day 6 for me :) yayyy ! so far so good !

You look great! ! what are u doing b/c u lost 16lbs but u look soooooooo much different i would like to know ur secret :)

Thats exactly how i feel..i mean how can u get it under control when everything has sugar !!! Thanks for all your replys ! i know the natural sugar is better, so when it gives u a amount of sugar you should have daily, does that exclude the natural type? I am just working hard to get that sugar# under control but it seems…

I just bought a FT4 and its wonderful ! i spent around 90$ , any polar will be good i think !

i have researched this online, it is good to eat like a banana, or something before you exercise, i also read that the first 45 minutes after exercising is the “metabolic window" the article states "This means that enzymes that replenish muscle carbs are at their highest levels. Plus, insulin, which rebuilds protein…

NO i havent, and i will talk to my doctor about all this ! and get some tests.

definitely make sure you are eating more fiber foods, (lasts longer) fiber one yogurt helped me at first, and its guilt free. Also water is a BIG ONE!!! and slowly start getting away from bad habits, dont just do it all at once....i usually have 2 snacks a good lunch and a light dinner ! You can do it, just keep going, and…

i am excited about it ALL...shopping, looking great, feeling great, and healthy, and also being able not worrying about being fat and what can happen to me, but focus on being healthy and living a longer healthier life!!!!

Ok guys today i completed day 3 as well.. It was ok those lunges are killing me....but oh well i got this, and let me tell you for 20 minutes according to my new HRM that i just bought today :) i burned 241 calories, my HR was avg 142... this exercise is almost better then 30 minutes on my Elliptical! GOOD 2 more days and…

Yeah i hate needles too lol, but i hared a lot of good things about this shoot ! :) i actually read some info on it....i dunno i thought i ask everyone :)

Its hard to say what you can use to measure a cup, maybe a small drinking glass...you can buy a cup measurements at a dollar store for $1 ....this approximation, but 1 cup cooked white rice has around 250 calories FYI.

hmm i dont know if you can, but you can experiment and let us know :) how bout adding some olive oil instead of butter, i do that a lot where it asks for butter, i just add olive oil, or leave the butter out.

I also do a 60 minute exercise, and if your trying to do this dvd only , 20 minutes wont do it, i am doing other exercises along with it, (bike, elliptical, running) etc depends how i feel, but i am trying to get at least 50 minutes ! So if you guys want more calorie burning, add some other exercises to go with it !

I forgot to ask, we should set a weigh in date, and measurements, what do you all think about every 10 days ? Just weigh yourself on your regular days and then do one big weigh in the first 10 days, 2nd and 3rd??? any suggestions?

i kept pushing my workout to the end and finally did it at 12 am ! I have done 30 day shred earlier so it wasnt as bad this time ! But it still hurt !

no problem i am glad it worked, i am inspired by your success ! :)

lol nah i dont think so , you have to copy the IMG CODE (on photobucket) and then when you copy it , just change the caps IMG to lower case !!! it just worked for me !

hmmm i think there is something wrong with photobucket, are you coping the correct link?

you have to do it like this [.img] link [./img] (whit out the dots :) )

WOW that is just great, in 5 months, how did u do it ?!?!!?!?! I wish i could do that ! We cant see your pictures you need to make the [img][/img]
