  • When I was running the weight dropped so fast I couldnt keep up lol. But Im willing to try it again.
  • Make sure to understand stretching before and after. Don't overcrowd your regiman with cardio blend some weight training in. Most important keep your diet in check it the critical component. If working out regularly make sure you get enough calories or the muscle will get eaten away. Listen to your body and dont over work…
  • I use the Polar A300 with the heart rate monitor for working out. It counts my steps and increases my goal automatically to push me. I get phone notifications and it has workout session timers for cycling, running, group exercise, indoor/outdoor exercise. It notifies me to sync with my device when history is full and tells…
  • I like the Champion ones at target they keep the girls in place and are modest on the cleavage when at the gym. To me its a cheaper version of some of the VSX whick I like too.
  • To much cardio can kill your muscle mass so you want to do a variety in your regiman of cardio/strength. Make sure to stretch before and after to prevent injury. When strentching hold it for a 5-10 count believe me it matters. You can do total body strength or splits where you breakdown upper body, lower body or push…
  • I like it. We should all do it as a team effort. Any parts you can't do just modify with your own exercise. I have fragile knees and can't jump constantly so I do low step jacks, front/back kicks, etc. for those that could cause pain. Jillian will get you in shape no doubt.
  • My name is Zane I actually achieved by goal weight last year then Thanksgiving and Christmas then off track I went. Currently, I am back on track and not trying to stress out about when the scale does not move. I would like to add you and become supportive.
  • I use IF when I am plateauing. It starts the weightless again. During the waiting period I get my fluids in with water, black coffee or plain tea to keep me hydrated. My window is usually 11-7, but find with the fluids I can sometimes go longer.
  • Have you tried intermittent fasting. Its when you eat all your calories within a certain a specific window. When I do IF. I usually eat from 11-7 everyday. I try to use the time prior to and after my eating period to get my water in for the day. I aim for a gallon a day. Black coffee and plain tea also help. It takes time…
  • Yes, it is there like Dano said.. From my computer its Myhome/Goals/Daily Nutrition Goals/Edit/Set Custom Daily Goals. Hope this helps!
  • 4'10" I eat 1400 calories a day and burn 500 calories at least 5 days a week. On rest days I eat 1200-1300 calories. Usually I have 75-100 calories left over to account for food/workout calorie inaccuracies. I fell off the wagon and now I am 140 lbs, but this helped me reach 127 lbs before and I will do it again. If I hit…
  • I like my oatmeal creamy so I use almond/cashew milk with a little salt and cinnamon. Once cooked I add the blueberries. And if the sweetness is missing a little agave nectar never hurt or honey. I recently saw a video where to add more protein a scrambled egg was added.
  • You need to take the things you loved and make them healthier. For instance, I love pizza and burgers with a passion. Therefore, I make them at home. Pizza I use whole wheat 100 cal. flat bread with pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, fat free cheddar, diced onions and green peppers. I can have the whole pizza for a…
  • I have to watch fats closely, but I do opt for good fats the majority of the time and leave room to splurge when I crave chocolate, ice cream etc. These cravings don't occur everyday. Are you planning your meals ahead of time in order to not bust your budget. Ahead of time to mean the night before, that morning before…
  • I personally base it on my body type. I need to follow a low fat diet therefore my fat is 20%, carbs 40%, and protein 40%. If I find this is not working I switch it up, but I know fat is an issue for me even if its healthy fats so that is always going to me lower. If I find my belly is looking bigger than I drop carbs to a…
  • I started weaning off soda by transferring to diet soda, then moved on to Zevia then flavored water to include infused water and I also use the 4C drink mixes found at walmart or some grocery stores. Now when I drink soda it taste bad because my palate is not accustomed to it. It took me about 45 days with this transition…
  • My goal is 1400 on workout days and 1200 on non work out days. I don't eat the calories back because I aim for enough high quality foods. Make sure you plan your meals. Planning does not have to be a rigorous task. Usually I plan for the next day at bed time because my taste change to much to eat the same thing everyday.…
  • I so bloated you would think I was at pregnancy term. Then I started incorporating ACV and lemon juice in my diet with warm water twice a day the bloat went away within 24 hours. I drink it every morning followed by 8-16 oz of water. And in the evening after my last meal of the day. Be sure to drink it in advance of bed…
  • Remember muscle weighs more than fat so the scale may not go down it may increase. You should pay attention to how your body looks by taking pics of your transformation, waist to hip ratio, measurements, and how your clothes fit. The scale can be deceiving don't let it be the only measurement of your body changes.
  • I use fat free because I have to watch my fat intake with my body type (pear). And it does not taste as though I am missing anything. I do not drink a lot of coffee, tea is my preference usually caffeine free and I don't use any sweetener.
  • I treat myself to it if I had a good day its a way to reward myself depending on if I have the calories. Sometimes its a 100 calorie ice cup and other times a piece of milk chocolate. Deprivation will ruin your diet quicker than anything just work it into your calorie/macro goal. I found that if I forbid food then I will…
  • I can only tolerate pure water when I am dehydrated which is usually after a hard workout. Otherwise I use lemon, mint, cucumber etc. I was surprised if I let it sit and infuse how much I would enjoy it. I do mix it up with the 4c mixes I get from Walmart at times if I find I am craving something sweet it defuses the urge.…
  • The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday came around I am struggling to get back on track but Im still in the game. Aiming back to my size 4. They are my new goal pants because that is where I was when the weight melted off. Took me a whole a year then, but I will do it again and so will all of you.
  • Also, the meat could strink during the cooking process so I weigh it after.
  • In the summer I was walking about 2 miles a day outside or doing indoor cardio to include hiit. Weight training ruled the workout. I found my body builds muscle fast so now Im back to 3 days cardio and 2 day weight training with a minimum of 30 minutes each session. With cardio I switch it up walks, elliptical, Cize keeps…
  • I am doing well now. I fell off the weight wagon around the holidays and it took me until March to get back on. Every day except Monday I currently work out. Starting to track my nutrition (seriously) again. We will get there.
  • I am joining late but would still like to jump on board to stay accountable. Hubby and I started a challenge so this community keeps me focused in losing 2 lbs in May for that challenge and hoping to come close to this one. Good Luck! May 7: 131.4 May 14: 130.4
  • Hello Mrs. Amy I joined today 5/15/16. Hoping to stay motivated and connected with losing these last 5 lbs to my goal weight. But the work will not stop there because then its maintenance.
  • I am not exactly vegan but I was concerned with the amount of fruit and veggies I eat daily due to it was insufficient. My husband has issues processing veggies and a good digestive enzyme is still being investigated. So I eat mostly fruits and veggies during the day now this also includes boiled eggs and dairy. Red meat,…
  • I include everything and do not pay attention to the calories added back from my workout. I log my workout based on the calories burned using my polar watch. I personally do not breakdown what was strength vs. cardiovascular but instead utilize a gym workout line item which asks for time and calories.
