Im also doing turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with an apple for lunch. seems to be pretty filling :)

I'm in the same boat! I just found recipes for crockpot. Chicken breasts, with taco seasoning, salsa, black beans, corn if you want. then shred chicken once cooked. Im planning on eating this with lettuce and light sour cream :) I found this recipe too that Im going to try soon! :)…

1 scoop chocolate whey protein mix 1/2 banana 1/2 c strawberries 1 cup almond milk 1 tbls peanut butter 1/2 tsp chia seeds ice cubes

mine are set at 1240...I think thats for a 1 1/2 a week. Some days I have a hard time meeting it, some days I don't. But its about a 750 deficit for me. I also am not going to eat back my calories burned! That may be a little much, and also if you are nursing thats going to be burning a lot of calories too, so you might…

Holy cow girl!! That is awesome!! Do you mind my asking what you kept your calories at for a day? Did you exercise too?

You can try bodyrock.tv! I just found it, looks like awesome workouts, they are about 12 minutes usually, so nice and quick when you are short on time with a little one! And they have beginner ones, and they show modifications on other videos as well.

perfect! Thanks Kristen_Lynn!

how do i add you? Im new to this! and just finishing week 1 of P90X!

Im doing P90X right now, started before but stopped, going strong for now! ;) But I also had issues with Kenpo..if you dont like it you can always sub and do Cardio X to get a cardio workout in if you wanted. Im might do that :)

Do you need to use Shakeology to join? Im just finishing week one of P90X tomorrow.

only took a little while ;) thank you SO much for your help! really appreciate it!

oops!! wrong one!! Its 2207! hahaha! makes more sense now! I was like O my word I can never eat! :tongue: I think I'll try to stick around the 1500-1700 area and not freak out if Im not right on one number

jsl_mfp...I just did that now, it says 1424..so thats figuring activity/workout, so thats where I should be per day without eating back calories? or subtract five hundred from that?!

thanks! I guess im probably being too crazy about it! haha..but if I go according to my stats on here and add back my workout it puts me right around 1800, so Ill just go with it and see how my days go! I ve been trying to plan my days ahead of time so Im knowing what Im going to eat and not make last minuted decisions,…

seriously though..thought i could cut a few calories, workout a little and lose weight..haha...seems WAY more involved to lose a few pounds, sheesh! ;)

I actually just read the P90X guide says to add back 600 calories from the workouts. Im just a beginner though, so Im taking breaks here and there so I wouldnt add them all back..so staying around what MFP has me at is probably good..unless i just put around 1500/1600 calories in there and figure for no work out?

I guess it depends whether you want to err on the high side or the low side of your estimate. Personally I like to eat and would rather lose a touch slower and not be hungry, but do what feels right for you! [/quote] I agree...I have been a little hungry between meals, but not like Im not eating enough, more like my…

thanks rbrow01! That might make it less confusing if I just put in the somwhere in the middle ground for calories and dont put in the workouts..I think thats whats been throwing me off, and then I wind up having extra calories leftover at the end of the day and I dont want to have a huge snack before bed later in the…

I went back to mine and put it back to what they are recommending, and it's for losing one pound a week, so Im at 1490 calories a day, and thats a 500 calorie deficit, So that really should be good for me being able to lose weight, but Ill just have to try it out and see how it goes I guess. I was getting nervous about…

I feel like Im eating all the time, and way more than i did before! haha Im eating way better foods, and eating every two hours or so, but i know that is good for your blood sugar! :)

I will definitely need to get a HRM then! I looked into it a little, and since the workouts can be so different in P90X is can vary each day, but one day is plyometrics, and it says on average someone can burn up to 430 calories in the hour, o even if I cut that is half its still more than MFP is saying, so I'll have to…

Ok! Thanks everyone! Definitely helped clear things up, so probably stay at the 1300 or so and eat back my workout calories and see how it goes for a couple weeks...Im new to all of this though...so I guess I just don't understand why you would want to eat back your workout calories? Doesn't it seem counter-productive? I…

I actually just came across a great website, you may wanna look into, its bodyrock.tv...has a bunch of short (12min) but intense workouts. Im going to use their workouts on days Im short on time also! :smile:
