Im glad you posted this. I waterjog and that kills me. I sweet alot!!!! Maybe cause i wear a swimming cap. I did not realize how much you sweat. But there are several exercises i do in the water (in the deep end). I use to spend 1-2 hrs in the pool but now im knocking it down to 30mins along with 15mins of strength before…

I would have never thought that this would be considered training. There is DEFINITLY a brief (no more than 35-40 sec) rest in between.

Kettlebell is an excellent short, quick, fat burning exercise!!! I love it!

Yes please explain how your exercise cals fit into this because i try to burn atleast 500 per day. I only have 8lbs im trying to get rid of but i know you have to go commando on your body in order to do this. Maintenance=1925 and Im doing fat loss only not extreme so my weekly zig zag looks like this: m-1541/1926…

I do kettlebell everyday. I incorporated in MFP what sparkpeople list for kelltlebell cals burned. I just do not eat all those cals back, maybe half. I use a 15lb and will start with 20lb next week. You should do a search. Just a few days ago someone asked this very same question and she was using a HRM to see how many…

I love this guy but one question. He really stressed weights over cardio and i get that but where does water jogging fit in. I love that and i thought since there was resistence against the water that it was up there with kettlebells. Someone please clarify.

I do not believe she is 160 either. If you look at the pic, you can tell she is a shorty. I am 5'2 @ 158lbs and my bottom sizes range from 8-10 depending on the designer. But she is def not tall.

Im so with you!!! I have to have a cheat day as well!!! Saturday is my day and i do not want to see another veggie. I do not go overboard but if there is something i want to eat i eat it. I just make sure i work out like crazy during the week so that i have burned atleast 2500 cals for the week. AND I do not feel guilty…

Okay i just upped my activity level to very active and i still only get 1200 net cals. Now im confused, I thought i would get more net cals. I do not exercise until i get off work around 6:30 so i end up eating dinner late in the evening.

Thanks for this info. I to have my activity level set at sedentary bc i work at an office. But i also exercise 5 times a week doing either kettlebells or walking/running outside and i always try to burn atleast 500 cals. That must be why im so hungry all the time. I only eat half of my exercise cals back bc i do not trust…

I eat chia seeds faithfully everyday. I first heard of them from Dr. Oz's diet. He had you mix them in your smoothie. If you look them up all they are is fiber and protein, which is very good for you. This may sound weird but i put 1 tblspoon in my oatmeal, cereal or smoothies. They are very good for you. You have to buy…

In my experience I lost the most weight by eating more and working out more. I was burning 1000 cals a day and i ate back all my cals. So try it for a while and see bc everybody's body is different. It worked for me. Matter of fact i just up'd my daily cal intake bc I was hungary on 1350 so now im at 1500, i do not work…

LUV YA BOSS!!! For explaining the different activity levels. I do have a desk job but i take the stairs, im constantly going back in forth to my boss' office, etc. On top of that i work out atleast 45-60 mins 4 times per week. Im doing kettlebells so i only work out 4 times. That thing wears my body out!!! By the way…

Hey Jessmomof3 when your doing your kettlebell do you have an HRM? If so how many cals does it say you burn using a 25lb? And by the way hats off to you!!! I just graduated to 15lbs and I swear my whole body hurts!!. Im just curious, I cannot afford to get an HRM and i weigh 156 and swing my 15lb and do other KB exercises…

I am hooked and I wished I had known about this along time ago!! But anyway I started with a 5lb now im doing 15lb and let me tell you that workout is something else. Between this and walking I should be able to reach my goal. Man your sweating in the first five minutes and when I do the two arm swing my heart feels like…

Thanks so much. I only have five cals to go and was starving on 1290 a day so i just set it to 1/2 lb per week. Now im not so hungry!!!

Be careful by shopping to much before you get to your goal or you will end up doing just like me and having to give away clothes that you just brought because you keep losing weight. I failed to let myself get to my goal and it didnt help that once i got to a 12, i kept on exercising and losing weight by accident. Now im…

:drinker: YEA!!:drinker: Congrat Girl!!!

Congrats to you that is a huge milestone. Please do not feel alone. Thats why we are all here bc we can all use encouragement and support. Remember you are doing this for yourself!!! Dont worry about them. You know what they say about family!!! So no worries and keep up the good work. We here on this website SALUTE YOU!!!!…

How dare you post this when Im fixing to make Duncan Hines Fudge Brownies!!!! Im addicted as well but i had to learn to live with it. So i worked out hard today to get xtra cals/carbs/etc :blushing: I have decided not to give up any of my favs. I just make sure i work out and count my cals to include what i want. But i do…

Hey amartine dont feel so bad, I did worse then you did. I was just there saturday and had fries, sliders (mini cheeseburgers). It sure was good!!!! Then i topped it off with an ice cream cone from dairy queen and 4 mini choc chip cookies from the mall. I know, I know but saturday is my cheat day and i DO NOT deprive…

I was in your shoes last night and i ate not one but TWO jello mousse temptations dark choc pudding. No guilt whatsoever and it sure was good.

I just posted a topic called yogurt on pancakes. I use fiber one yogurt and fresh fruit on my pancakes instead of syrup. People at work thought it looked nasty until they noticed my weight loss. Fiber one yogurt only has 50 cals. Works for me. I had to have something because i no longer use butter or syrup and i luv it!!…

Congrats to you!!! Did you add any thing xtra like flax seeds or wheat germ? Did you use water or milk. I want to so bad but i just cant imagine using water. I need some sort of creamyness. So i use almond milk.

I purchased the watch which i got at walmart. I do not like it even though it ask for all your info such as weight, age, etc. The reason i do not like it is bc it does not work well on hills and that is what i walk in my neighborhood. I walk for 2 hrs up/down hills and only burn barley 300 cals!!!! That cannot be correct…

Have you tried water aerobics? Im going to try that tommorrow. I have never done this before but im going with a girlfriend who is trying it and she likes it. She said when she was finished her legs felt rubbery. I know this does not compare to swimming laps but every bit of exercise counts.

Im having that today. Im having romaine lettuce and smoked turkey. No sauce though.

Thanks mlv333

I just increased mine as well to 1500 plus I exercise a lot. I was starving on 1200. Plus I had hit a plateu a few months back and when i increased my calories and exercise, i dropped a lot of weight. So give it a try, you may find that 1500 is not enough. Also do not look at numbers like i did. When you see 1500 or 2000 I…

I just bought some today. I live in georgia so Kroger sells them. Im sure you can get them at walmart. Those things are good. Between those and Luna Bars. Larabar's have no sodium and thats the main thing i like about them. I read a post on here earlier that they are good pre/post workout snacks and not meal replacements.
