Good Morning Everyone, Still in a big debate about my maintenance but....I am waiting it out about the protein. I have a gain I am at the top of my range and I feel a little bloated and thick but I am thinking that will go away. I have been trying and talking to various people and on here with MFP to get more information.…

Bump

Good Morning Everyone, JMHT345 - It seems that adding protein may be increasing my weight : ( - wasn't just the scale, I am feeling bloated and kind of thick. I am giving it time to even out maybe just a bad day water wise or so. ( today is day 10) Just seems strange and this is what usually happen when I increase calories…

I am very good about weighing and measuring and portion controls.... I have not slacked off exercise either...I am doing the same. Which is an average of over 8 hours a week with some form of exercise and an average calorie burn from my HRM of over 300 a day. Some days I just walk or yoga, some days a Jilliam Michaels DVD…

Since I am a Saints fan - who just got season tickets- I love this!!!!

I am even more confused....I am having trouble with maintenance...I find if I eat more than 1400 I start to gain... I reached my goal and am maintaining but still on a very low calorie intake. I exercise ( cardio and strength training) and eat clean but still having trouble. I do all the right things, more fiber, more…

Hi Everyone, DLD53 hope you get everything for your trip and then have a great relaxing time!!! I am currently staying at the 1400 calories and up my protein (a lot). trying between 90 and 120grams a day. I am still maintaining within my range at this point, but it's only been a week and I fluctuate normally. I am at the…

I think the kettle bell workouts and the weight workouts in the jm dvd are good and I consider it weight training. But I was just making sure that when someone ask me if I am "lifting" that is the same thing. My hrm is actually telling pretty close to mfp calculations for circuit training. I am getting a good burn and I…

I tend to agree DLD. I thought I was on track with weight training just from Jillian's DVD's . I have gotten stronger after the body revolution and I am keeping it up with continues dvds. I also thought muscle burned more calories at rest, so increasing my muscle should help. I think that my metabolism is off... I am…

DLD53 - Thanks for the response... I am only "lifting: with the JM DVD's but I am using 5, 8 and even 10 pound weights. I could use the machines at the gym. I may have to try that, but just trying to find a good happy medium with exercise and diet. The JM DVD's (4 to 5 times a week) walking/running,(3 to 4 x a week) yoga…

Good Morning all, I am having a little trouble finding my balance on calories for maintenance.....it's seems that it is not that much higher than to lose : ( I am trying to add protein and see what happens. Does any one else have this problem? I have a good clean diet, and I exercise regularly. But....I am 50 and I am also…

So when I graduated from high school 32 years ago I was 5' 6" and 123 - I currently weight 128 - Not too bad - one child and a lifetime of healthy food choices and working out regularly. It has not always been easy. I have to work at it. I just always strive to stay healthy.

Hi gang, I am still here - just having not been posting. I am currently still doing a mix of Ripped in 30 and 30 day Shred. I am on week three. I am also still keeping up with my walking and gym days. I am kind of taking it easy, if I miss a day or something comes up, I just try to do more the next time/day. I have been…

Thanks for the responses - I have been drinking it for the last two weeks and I think I am going to try to and switch to it permanently. I purchase some from Whole Foods. There is some cheaper fair trade coffee at Sam's - may have to go with that on those tight budget month.

Good Morning ! I switch to Killer buns and thighs this morning. It's been awhile since I have done that DVD!!! I going to switch around her dvds for the rest of the month. I like the varitiy! In May I am going to do the ripped in 30 again. I don't foresee any interruption that month. My mini detox have accomplished what I…

Good Morning JM peeps, feeling really good today. This mini detox diet is working, energy is back, no headache and not craving sugar as much as I was. The big thing is I don't feel that bloat puffy feeling. So I should be back on track by Monday!! I did workout three today because I need a change for workout 4 all week. I…

I am on level 4 and I like it. I really like all her workouts some better than others. I must confess - I don't like a lot of cardio, but I do them. I think when I finish this week I will do something else for the rest of the month but go back to Ripped in 30 for May. I think I will switch up the workouts, sort of like…

Thanks for creating the group!!!

The Jillian show last night was great - I think I love her even more!! She talked for more than 2 hours and then answered questions. Very Jillian!!! I got a lot from it. Most of the stuff we really already know.... but just take a step further and do it!!! So with that said I am on day three of my mini sugar detox and…

Up early and completed workout 4 of ripped in 30. I also managed a 90min walk last night. The weather so beautiful my walking partner and I didn't want stop at our usual hour. doing great on my sugar detox plan but it's only day 2 lol. So tonight is the night that I get to see Jillian in person. Her maximize your tour in…

Thanks great idea. I have a yonana machine. A homemade frozen fruit treat. I already have my banana's and berries frozen. I also drink green tea with a little local honey and that can usually help the cravings.

Good Morning, A brand new week. We don't talk about diets too much but I have started my own mini sugar detox today. It will last 7 days then I should be back on track without my cravings getting the best of me. I usually eat clean but I have been slacking---this will put me back in the swing. Here is to day 1!!! Water…

Hey Jillian Peeps, I am still here .. I have been so busy with the family wedding reunion -but now back to normal routine. I am doing workout 3 again of Ripped in 30 because I really didn't get a lot in last week. I was very activity but just not with a DVD workout. So I trying to get back to normal. My big problem is…

Well...thanks to my wonderful husband who suggested putting the dvd in the blueray player (we have both hook-up) it worked perfectly - go figure. Well he also cleaned it, probably better than I did. So I had a great workout and no stopping!!! Loving the workout.. I like switching it up.

Level two for ripped in 30...only problem was my dvd was slow to stopping in some place throughout the whole workout!! Tried cleaning it but didn't help. I may have to get a new one... I may have to substitute a different workout. : ( Anyway - I hope everyone else had a better workout this morning!!! LOL Have a happy…

It will be on to level 2 on Monday!! My next few week are going to be super busy...we have a big family wedding with lots of…

Then came down with a cold over the weekend. (stayed in for Mardi Gras : ( ! I have manage to do a few workouts. I started my ripped on 30 on Monday so I am back…
