Your numbers might it be that far off. I had my rmr tested and I was at 2000-2200. Add in a 500 cal workout, teaching, taking care of my family, and just general movement, I bet 3200 isn't that far off. If your numbers are right, you're only getting half of what you need a day. You're body thinks there isn't enough food so…

From what we can figure out, I'm already under eating so I need it to be as accurate as possible.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I just ordered one in amazon. Love the idea of tucking it into your bra - then I can still wear it in sleeveless shirts without it standing out.

3 months free, then $7 a month after that. Hoping I wouldn't need it that long to figure out how much I need to eat.

Eat more. If you're truly hungry, your body is trying to tell you something. I'm 5'5" (weigh leas than tou) and I'm eating 2400-2700 cals of healthy food daily. Try adding 100 -200 cals every week and see how you do. The scale might go up a little while your body adjusts, but when you get to the right point, you'll start…

no one?

Exactly my thoughts. You'll lose weight, but it'll be muscle, not fat. I've been meeting with a nutritionist, eaten clean at 1700 calories, balanced carbs and protein, etc - everything he tells me to do. Finally did a BMR test. Fund out I burn 2200 cal -just sitting doing nothing - it's higher with daily activities. I'm…

Singulair has helped me a ton.

I haven't seen her on here lately. Maybe I'm just missing her. I'm up in the top 10 listed so far. Tamtastic still pops in every once in a while. What about Jeremy and Amanda? Are they still together?

Deodorant works too and doesn't require an extra trip to get anything.

I do the same thing with Cheeze its instead of pretzels. My kids can't get enough of it when I do it.

Anyone starting stage 5? I did workout A last night.

I'm not training for any running events, but I've been running or spinning on my non lifting days. I've been fine, but I usually worked out 6 times a week anyway. I'm half way through stage 4 if you want to keep in contact. I think we should be pretty close to the same point.

These sound good. Bumping to read later.

That is the weight DVD with the biggest burn for me (5-' 5" - 138). I usually burn around 400-500.

ME! Other than gum anyway. I'm on day 5 of no diet coke. Yesterday was hard, but today is better.

Bump. Sounds yummy and I don't even like oatmeal.

Sounds amazing. Might have to make it for my hubby's b-day on friday!

I don't know about when you're running - if my form is bad, mine still hurts. The only thing I've found that helps is a foam roller. It hurts at first, but it really works the band so it doesn't hurt when I run - or go up and down stairs.

I've had IT band problems a few different times. Try using a foam roller (google for exercises). It helped me. Even after I was sore after a half marathon and struggled going up and down stairs. Also heard Stronger core helps prevent it. I know mine acts up when I don't have good form.

Legs and back yesterday, rest today. Oh, and I painted a bedroom and our family/theater room - by myself. Love it when mom keeps the boys for the weekend! Quiet morning of cleaning and putting things away. Have a great sunday!

CST done :) Wonder if the heat/humidity is making me burn more calories. I'm burning about 100 more each workout the last week and a half. Hope everyone is able to stay cool. Sounds like it's hot everywhere.

I did plyo today instead of Wednesday because we finally had a nice day for running so I switched my days. I haven't had a rest day since last tues (5th) and I could tell - plyo was harder than last week. Legs and back should be interesting tomorrow. Rest day on Sunday!

I add protein shakes to mine. It adds the chocolate and sweetness I like. I'm less worried about the calories from it than I am the amount of fat and sugar my creamer added.

CST done. It was better than last time, but my arms still feel like Jello by the end - and even 3 hrs. later! Plyo tomorrow :love: Love the calorie burn I get from it!

I know it sounds horrible, but the sweetner in yogurt and the oj cover up the taste of cottage cheese, and the blender takes out the chuncks. I'm all over protein shakes now instead though!

My husband likes the 5 hr. energy. Don't know if that bothers you. Otherwise I think water will help. I don't like black coffee, but if I cool it, blend in some protein powder, and pour over ice; I like it.

I did one with yogurt, cottage cheese and orange juice. You could probably add fruit to it too if you wanted.

I have CST today and I'm dreading it - all those pushups kill me. Just a note about the bands. Target has a set that has light, med, and heavy in 1 set ($20 I think?). There are 3 bands that hook onto the handles so you can get even more resisitance by using 1, 2, or all 3 bands. My brother in law did the whole round of…

So glad I'm not the only one! I was feeling pretty good about the first month, then I did that workout and I was toast! My arms felt like lead. I did legs and back today. Driving home from vacation kind of messed up my schedule. I did the insanity cardio and balance for recovery last week because it was mostly standing and…
