Stay away from them. If you must substitute your sugar, use Stevia/Truvia. Here's my views on fake sugar. One of the major functions of your liver is breaking down all foods you consume into their chemical substances. During this process the the liver filters out everything other than the nutrients your body needs. One…

I know a lot is based off how much people weigh. I think the higher someones BMI, the more cals they burn. As their weight comes down, so do the calorie burns. Personally, when I did Zumba, I usually only burned 500 or less cals in that hour. I am now a Turbo Kick instructor and do Turbo Fire at home and I burn upwards of…

Abs...

I just started having these same issues about 2 weeks ago. My Polar FT4 is a year old. I wet the sensors thoroughly. I don't know if it's the battery or what in Sam Hill is going on with it. And that's too funny, "dead or having a heart attack" because that's exactly what I was thinking. I thought, "Damn, I'm really…

Can't say if it's too soon as I don't have any "morals" when it comes to that kind of stuff (celbs) However, I did see last weekend at a campground trick or treat event Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad LOL Thought that was a great idea.

Salsa and use it as a dip for Wheat Thins

Depending on your fitness level...If you are just starting out, I would not suggest TF. Maybe TurboJam if you're just starting out. I've completed Insanity twice and I'm a runner, and just started TF 2 weeks ago. I'm still finding that TF pushes me harder cardio wise than Insanity did. As for results, since I'm just…

Soy is a big no, no. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/09/18/soy-can-damage-your-health.aspx http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/avoid_soy.htm

No worries :smile: Smile honey. We all have those weeks and sometimes, months. It's okay. don't beat yourself up over it. I'm not doing any more challenges for a while. I finished Insanity today and start TurboFire on Monday. The challenges on top of a workout that is 6 days a week for me has been tough time wise. You CAN…

Great job!!!!

I've teetered with this topic for some time. In the beginning, I only ate my recommend cals and maybe a few hundred of my exercise cals if I was hungry and felt like I needed to eat. Everyone is different. I just recently plateaued for over a month and decided it was time to change it up a bit. So I'm eating my recommended…

It's hard to say why you feel more sleepy. Could be that your body is adjusting to the fewer caloric intake? Have you had your iron and all that good stuff checked recently? Especially with this lifestyle change, I would recommend seeing your doc if it continues.

Brunches teeheehee :wink:

I know we've all bee complaining that we seemed to have plateaued. I just wanted to tell everyone, and I'm missing one person at the moment for weights, be we as a group are down 5 pounds this week! That's the most so far for this challenge. Keep it up ladies! Also, please let me know if you completed the team challenge…

Gary had his Hell Run today and hasn't posted week 4 stuff yet. As soon as I see it, I'll have it posted for you guys. Great week too, btw!

The family curse is what they are called for me LOL Every woman in my family has "thunder thighs" and "breeders hips". I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 146.6. My thighs are 23.5" at the largest part (which is where you should be measuring them). I don't know what an ideal size for me would be since I've always had them.…

It's like Christmas getting all those goodies :) On a side note, how in the world did you slice your ankle?

I'm posting this here only because I feel like this is my little sanctuary where only our special little group can see it :smile: I know I'm going to come across as a negative Nelly and that's usually not me at all. I'm usually the one that is the cheerleader and so happy for everyone. Not today. I can't. So I logged on…

Oh holy yummo! This sounds delish!!!

Okay, bear with me ladies as I'm gonna break it down for ya :wink: The whole calorie thingy...the ONLY time you will receive the message about eating too few calories is when you haven't EATEN a minimum of 1,200 calories. NOT netted 1,200 calories for the day. If you go into your diary, the bottom has 3 rows. The first row…

Look at the forum category...

He is fixed. Vet said that would help with his breed though. He knows how to sit and "hears" other commands. He just doesn't listen to many of them.

Finally!!!!! After a month long plateau the scale moved. I know a lot of us are at a plateau right now. Change something up. I added a day to my workout and started drinking green tea over the last week and viola! We can do this you guys. I wanted to quit so bad because it just seemed easier. Well, the proof is in the…

Polar FT4...Love mine. Best thing I've ever done for my workout :)

I use the Polar FT4. Comes with the chest strap and watch. I agree with jaygirl...it's the best thing that I've ever done for my weight loss.

Pretty sure we are. I'm just waiting on rosy to get back with me. She been logging so I'd imagine she's doing the challenge still. Not too shabby being in week 3 in we still *knocking on wood now* have 10 people. Now if the scales would start cooperating, we'd be able to kill it in the points with the weight loss. We're…

Yes, I feel the same. I keep saying "die fatty die!" LOL

Please remember to post all recaps in the appropriate week/forum. Week 3 forum is up and ready to go. Are you ;) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/340079-eurybe-warriors-week-3-closed-group?page=1#posts-4574976
