I absolutely love turbo jam!! They are my favorite dvds to do and i look forward to doing them! I started using them 4 yrs ago after i had my daughter and lost 25-30 pds! I would start up with them again off and on and then get lazy and quit. However i started them again last mth and got the weighted gloves which are a…

Thanks so much for sharing you could def see the results from both programs! Awesome job! I also saw your before and after pics on another thread and you look AMAZING!! You made me want to look like that so thanks for the motivation and keep rocking!

I felt the same way starting level 2! Im currently on week 2 day 4. I have a hard time doing the table things, the pendulum squats which i modify so it doesnt kil my knees and the mountain climbers! I do fine until the 2nd rotation of them and my shoulders start burning so i have to keep stopping! Although i will say that…

Search for the thread "In place of a roadmap" it will help you figure out your TDEE subtract 20% or 500 to get how many calories you should be eating a day. If your BMR is 1800 you should be eating above that because your bmr is the amount of calories your body needs to function even if you laid and did nothing all day!…

Anyone?

My scale does the same thing so i have no idea if its accurate at all or not! So im curious to see what others have to say. I know most say scales are always inaccurate and you should measure inches lost instead but theres just something validating when your see those numbers drop on the scale. Well whether they are…

You have to find out what your TDEE is and take 20% off of that to get your calorie intake. You can goto this website http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html and once it gives you your TDEE take 20% of that to find out how many calories you should be eating a day. Hope this helps.

I drink the vitamin water zero but now im going to have to check the label because i didnt think the regular ones would be loaded with sugar!!! Ugh!!

Eat more protein! I had the same problem! I was starving all the time and didnt understand it because i was eating spinach salads and fruit etc but i was told to eat more protein because it keeps you full longer and once i did i wasnt starving anymore!

I just wanted to comment that i am a high stress person as well and always swore that smoking relaxed me only to find that it really didnt! It a stimulent so it actually makes you more hyper! Im so much more relaxed then i was when i smoked! I think its mainly because im not always worrying about when i was going to have…

I just quit smoking a month and a half ago and couldnt be happier! I have a very addictive personality so quitting wasnt easy at for me but i used the patches and they really did help! I just wouldnt wear them at night because they cause crazy dreams! I feel so much better since quitting and can exercise harder and longer…

Same thing has happened to me since i started RI30. I've been bouncing around the same 3 pounds! Its very frustrating! What i think it may be is the fact that these type of exercises are building muscle and when you work them hard you retain water from them recovering. When i take my 2 day rest from exercising because i…

Yum!!! Thanks for sharing!

Do you eat back your exercise calories? I looked at your diary and it looks like you have alot of calories left over? You have definately done an awesome job at losing weight! Im newer to this but what i can tell you is that when i started i was eating 1300 calories and doing cardio 5 days a wk for 40 mins and didnt lose a…

My daughters 4 and loves playing the just dance games for the wii so we try to play for 30 mins if not more a night. I also just got her the Just Dance for Kids and she loves it! Im glad that shes up and moving, i burn extra calories on top of my normal workout and we have fun doing it!! When i first starting playing it i…

My favorite thing to make in the crockpot is my rootbeer bbq pulled pork! It seems to be a big hit with my family and friends! Root Beer BBQ Pulled Pork 1 pork tenderloin- boneless ( use whatever size you need depending on how many you are feeding) 1 12oz bottle of root beer- i use diet a&w or mugg but you can use regular…

The best way is to use a heart rate monitor since it would be most accurate. However since i dont have one i found a site that calculates how much you burn based on height, weight and age and i use that. It seems to be working so far for me but i do want to get a heart rate monitor soon! I dont remember the site but you…

Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate and see what i could be doing wrong! Esp not eating enough protein! So im going to try that and maybe up my calories closer to 20% of my TDEE.. Thanks again! Much appreciated!

Well that makes sense because im always hungry shortly after eating them. I think i have a hard time with this because i dont eat eggs, any seafood, and only eat certain veggies, i'm a very picky eater. Ive tried all these things but just dont like them. So alot of the foods people say to eat that are high protein or…

I started at 1300 and didnt lose any weight so i uped my caloried to 1600 and started losing.. My TDEE is 2356 and 20% of that is 1886 but considering most people are eating 1200-1300 i thought that seemed too high so i stayed at 1600..

Its open.. I know my sodium intake was high so ive been working on lowering that along with a few other things..

Thanks so much for this because i think this is what happened to me!! Im starving all the time and its very frustrating because im tired moody and hungry.. Maybe ill try this and see if it works! Thanks so much!

I started at 1300 calories and was so tired and hungry and didnt lose any weight. Then i went up to 1600 and started losing. So far i lost 3 pounds, but i still find myself feeling tired and hungry at 1600 but im afraid to up my calories higher. Although alot of people on here say you need to fuel your body and eat more…

Thanks! They sound delicious!

Feel free to add me! Im 5'4 162 pds.. I started at 164 which is a high weight for me! I always was around 154-155 before i got pregnant and after i went back down to that weight but my bodys holding onto the baby belly and love handles!! If you are stuck at a weight try uping your calorie intake a little bit! I was eating…

You ladies have done an awesome job and look great!!! I cant wait to reach my goal!! Thanks for the motivation!

I made a similiar version of this with my 4 year old daughter today and we loved it! I used the multigrain flatouts which are only 100 calories and crisp up nice in the oven and used 2% shredded italian cheeses with the turkey pepperoni and pizza sauce and it was under 300 calories!! We will be making these alot! They were…

Im so glad you posted this because im 5'4 164pds and my pounds dont seem to want to budge! Although i have lost some inches! I eat 1600 calories a day and when i exercise i eat most of those back too. I had to up my calories in order to start finally lsoing weight! I was eating 1300 calories and doing 40 mins of cardio 5…
