Should I be using a protein powder?

So I need to swap it up and add protein instead of as many carbs... Ok I can do that. Do I need to change anything in my food log settings for that or just find more protein rich foods.

Thefuzz that is so true. If I don't drop my calories down to 1200 but still exercise I should inevitably still see better fitting of my clothes since I would be gaining muscle anyway?

That is true. Since the first week of couch to five k is a minimal calorie burn, what could I do to up the burn? I'd love to be able to work out daily for an hour and burn 500 calories --- but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet

I'm starving though. I'm eating around 1400-1500 calories and feel so hungry. I exercise off about 200 calories and not sure how to increase that. I started couch to five k also so I will burn more today too. I have no idea how anyone can burn 500 calories in an hour (without a gym membership.) any suggestions? also, Any…

Ok so I shouldn't be going crazy with the ridiculous weight gain that makes me not feel like working out today? I started at 112... So I thought the 112.8 was just normal exercise water weight gain but it seems like that part is sticking over the last two weeks. I tried to tell myself that it's me gaining muscle ... But as…

I have never been able to lose weight at 1200 even when I was not breastfeeding. Id lose weight once I stopped counting calories.. I assume that's because I assumed I needed to eat too little and calorie counting makes me feel like I need to drop calories.

At around 1500-1600 net calories I wasn't losing weight I was maintaining for those two weeks so I had seen a thread here where a few petite short girls like me said they had to go less than 1200 to lose weight so I tried that last week and gained a kilo...(2 pounds) I came in under 1200 for mom-fri but I thought my…

Well I increased my calories (net) to around 1600-1800 and I gained two pounds in four days. Not sure how that was possible but I'm so down about it... I have lost all motivation.

did you eat the same way as the first week and do as much exercise? I just hope my body is not holding on to the weight because it thinks it needs it for breastfeeding . (I breastfed my son weighing less than this)

wow what a great job!! u look gorgeous! and so confident :) How long did it take you to achieve those results?

You enter age and weight. It also does a fitness test while resting. It has a feature where you decide what training program u want. I wanted weightloss. It then tells you how many calories you need to burn and how long you need to keep your heart rate within each zone for weightloss. I'm not sure if all the watches do…

I have the polar ft 60 it's my first heart rate monitor and I love it!!!!

wow that sounds like a lot of hard work, good job on keeping up! and thank you so much for the breakdown... seems doable for me! :)

Yay great job on calories burned. Would you be able to give us examples as to what you did that burned 945 calories since I don't have a trainer. I dunno how to burn that much at gym

BUT... i feel so proud that I did it... and dont be discouraged by how hard others say it is... it IS hard.. but if you push your…

hi girls can i join you? i just finished day 10 of level one... today is day 1 of level two and i am soo scared to try it! Everywhere i read online is about how hard level 2 is... so much harder than one and I didnt find day 10 of level 1 to be easy... it was still tough... I hope i can do it! :) weight loss is at 0... i…

(i live in south africa so the time difference is about 10 hours)... I just finished day 10 of level 1.. my scale... hmmm nope didnt lose anything unfortunately I'm gonna do measurements later just to see if ANYTHING moved... my metabolism seems to be kicked up a little (so thats good).... but its nowhere near what it was…

i need to choose between the f11 or the rs200

im looking to buy a heart rate monitor.. any suggestions? :)

i have 20 pounds that im desperate to lose then i am at prepreg weight and i will be very thin .. its my dream weight... but.. i dont mind being 2 pounds more than that with a more fit body :) i sort of think i actually gained a pound in this week but im not sure if thats from bad eating... or muscles or i dunno.. (my…

pedalhound wow thats what i strive for.. i want to run in a marathon ... it would be a great accomplishment.. i never really liked running when i was a teen... but now I realise the benefits of PE when we were in school. ourgang, how far are you into your 30 day shred? have you lost any weight from it ? Angie, we aren't…
