Day 1 - p90x chest and back and ab ripper x. Ab ripper is pure torture but so effective. I also completed my 7k step goal. I plan to do a hybrid of p90x and insanity. May swap yogaX for p90x3 yoga or pilates since it's shorter.

I do bean stews, soups, meatballs,patties ( salmon, kale & quinoa, tuna, ground turkey or chicken), lasagne rolls, stuffed shells, crustless quiches, casseroles. I freeze in portions and thaw what I need.

Hi ..p90x is a fantastic program though the workouts can be long. I don't think I have ever done the entire yogaX. Have you started yet? From what I recall reading, log your food on MFP and all your workouts on fitbit.

This ...extreme thirst is a common symptom

Frozen fruit or a cup of tea.

This is right up my alley ....I am in. Will you be forming a group or just using this thread?

My recommendation is to lift heavy as well. You can start with stronglifts 5x5 program or something similar.

Before I started insanity, I did 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels. There is also fitness blender as well

I log all exercise activity (even non step related workouts) on fitbit app and sync to MFP. I log only food on mfp app

Minimal will be dumb bells with varying weights some of which should be heavy, resistance bands and exercise ball. Also pull up bar, barbell and bench. The exercise ball subs for bench. Resistance bands subs as pull up bar. You can use dumb bells instead of barbell.

I had smoked salmon on romaine lettuce leaves for bfast this morning. I usually use lettuce or steamed cabbage leaves as wraps. There are low carb wraps and breads too. I also use tomatoes and core cucumbers and put my stuffing in there ..either a fish or ground chicken or turkey. Options are endless.

Got mine in early Dec and trying to make 10k daily .. //www.fitbit.com/user/3WG3SW

Under Apps & Devices menu on mfp app, you can add your fitbit. It works well for me as it syncs all my activity. They usually advise you log exercise on fitbit and food on mfp. That way all your activity syncs on mfp. If you log on both, you can be overestimating or doubling cals burned. There is a fitbit group that gives…

Do some HIIT or endurance workouts. There are a ton of them on YouTube

Enjoy their workouts ...body beast, insanity, insanity max, p90x and p90x3.

Insanity workouts ...either original insanity or insanity max

Fitness dvds are what I used and I started off with Jillian Michaels and T25. I moved on to insanity and p90x thereafter. You need a mat and some light weights and you can always modify. Their vids are 25 - 30 mins. Now to lose weight you need to focus on a calorie deficit but exercise is always benefical to incorporate.…

Insanity, insanity max, body beast. P90x is great but I couldn't commit to some of the longer workouts. On YouTube ....fitness blender and body rock.

Insanity max or insanity, bodyrick HIIT Max workout series and fitness blender on YouTube are great.

I am actually starting a hybrid of body beast and insanity max 30 this week. I think it's a great workout to do at home.

I'm 5'4" and weigh about 117 ..doing a slow body recomp at maintenance by lifting weights. My maintenance range is 115 to 120

Insanity, fitness blender or any endurance or HIIT workout works for me

Use a food scale

What exactly is unhealthy about her food? I usually bring a healthy dish to share with everyone and just have a tiny portion of what they cook. It works for me and they usually enjoy my dish as well.

Have you tried cottage cheese? Pretty versatile savoury or sweet (add fruit)

I didn't ...I already wake up 5am to get ready for work and my son to school. I workout after work or at night when its convenient ...this makes me stick to working out regularly. Do what's best for you. My friends works out in the morning. She actually has her sneakers by her alarm and bag ready to go. It's routine for…

I can eat greek yogurt with fruit or oatmeal with cinnamon and chia seeds daily.

Most places even a fast food restaurants have healthier option. Research the eating options available. I always buy fruit and walk with protein bars when traveling just in case as well. As stated you can still incorporate fast food within your calorie allowance. Worse case is to eat at maintenance. I also walked with my…

Looks delicious but find it difficult to believe it's only 200 cals :/

How are you tracking your calorie intake? Are you using a food scale? Also any switch in exercise regimen or intensity can lead to water retention to repair muscles. Hormonal imbalance, totm, sodium bloat can also lead to weight gain
