  • I see what you mean, but I had been eating more calories than what I am now for over a year and was continuing to lose weight. I think my weight gain is related to PiYo because it doesn't burn nearly as many calories as my previous workout routines. I'm considering quitting PiYo and just focusing on running, HIIT, and…

  • 2 bowls of cereal and nuts does not make a cheat day! Certainly don't beat yourself up over that. Just get back on track and eat healthy from here on out, and get a good workout in. You'll feel like a million bucks. Also, 1200 cals per day is probably too low for you! (Which could definitely cause feeling insanely hungry…

  • I totally know what you mean. I used to worry about this as well. I agree with what everyone else has said - basically, eat whole fruit (natural fresh produce) to your heart's content. However, I have read that it's even more important to make sure you eat more vegetables because of the sugar content in fruit (even though…

  • For sure, I know what you mean. While I understand that it's trying to make people not feel bad about themselves or resort to extreme measures to try to lose the weight because they feel unaccepted, it's not good. Same as in school when they would tell us that "everyone is smart." No, everyone is not smart. And some people…

  • Yes, 1300 is above starvation mode. I think you've used the TDEE approach by calculating your BMR calorie level? That's not the same approach MFP uses. MFP helps you reach a net calorie amount for the day (so theoretically, if you exercise more one day you get more calories for the day based on what that exercise burned).…

  • It's actually 4 weeks (levels)! Although in my opinion week 3 is the hardest. You do each one for 5-6 days out of the week, but really you could do whatever you wanted with it. I finished the 30 day program long ago and still use weeks 2-4 as workouts depending on my mood some days!

  • I'm 5'8" and currently 147. Pretty close to my ultimate goal... I'm not so much worried about weight anymore as I am about toning and trying to lose some of my remaining belly softness! I started out at 188ish when I started using MFP which was my highest weight ever. I really felt like I first looked pretty dang good at…

  • The heart rate monitor is a good idea and sounds worthwhile. That might actually be the only way to be truly accurate!
