Just came back to MFP today and thought i'd join your conversation. I'm 39 just had my first baby a year ago and i'm trying to lose 35 to 40 pounds. How many of you are on the Premium Plan?

Thank you all so much for the advice! I will start with walking and go from there.

I actually do sit for 12 hours a day. I am a dispatcher and to be honest sitting makes me more tired than when I did physical work. I just need motivation. I asked my husband to go with me but his response was he is not a gym person and doesn't really want to go.

That was really helpful!!! :)

Thank you CyberTone

I am looking for lower carb, If I count all the veggies that will put me over my carb limit.

I work 12 hour days with a 40 minute drive to and from work. I dispatch so I sit during my shift. Its hard to get motivated to go to the gym but i am going to try plus the carb cycling.

pwrfl1 i have 50 to lose and for me its more about the number going down. My husband and i are going to try to have a baby but i do not want to get pregnant and put weight on top of weight. I have had two ectopic pregnancies so far and I don't know if weight has anything to do with it but I am not trying again until i lose…

When you started your diet did the weight and inches fall off easy or did it seem to take a bit before noticing a difference?

I can't wait to get my book and read all about this diet.

Have you guys thought about making this a group so its easier to find. I use to have a place that let me click if I commented somewhere but that is now gone. I have to search this thread every time i want to comment or read.

Awesome ms_Smartypants....helped a ton thank you

I am reading through the reviews on Amazon about the book. I am reading a lot of people don't understand about how many carbs grams to eat each meal. Can someone tell me how you calculate your carbs per meal?

Can you do this diet with just cardio? I really don't want to lift weights right now. I do want to in the future but right now I just want to do cardio. Does this program work with just cardio?

Hey everyone I am just curious about the carb cycling. How well does it work? How fast do you lose? I ordered the book today on amazon so I have to wait until it arrives just looking for a but of information from some of you who are actually doing it now.. My name is Amber

What is carb cycling?

I am a dispatcher and I sit most of the day. However my Charge HR says I climb stairs all day. I have contributed this to the fact that i move my wrist while typing and it says i am climbing stairs. Not sure how to correct this issue. I thought about wearing it around my pants loop but then the HR won't kick in.

My best friend did this and she didn't lose any weight at all. I have heard several people doing this and not losing. I have it but I have not tried it yet. Good Luck if you do get it.

I do have some dumbells not a lot and I have wanted to purchase the adjustable ones but will have to be after the new year they are pretty pricey. I don't have enough room for a bench. I don't normally have a lot of time to get out and bike or run and I hate running btw not my thing. Unless its summer no access to a pool…

@ Keepcalmanddo Its not from my workouts its from my body preparing for my monthly. They start to swell two and a half weeks prior to my monthly. They begin to hurt really bad. So I can only exercise two weeks out of a month. Before they start to swell and hurt.

I don't have to stay in bed just yet but it does hurt to turn over in bed without something pressed against my breast. I hate this so much. I am checking into birth control to see if it will help. Just waiting on my OBGYN to call me back. I have to get this under control and quick or I will never get this weight off. :sad:

I have tried medication like Ibuprofen and it doesn't take the pain away enought to be able to exercise. It seems I have tried everything.

:drinker: WOW!!! this is motivation right here to keep at it! You look amazing!

Thank you all for your responses. I just started T25 yesterday in fact. I didn't have time to do it Monday. I did workout yesterday afternoon. But my schedule is 7am to 7pm. I get up anywhere from 4am to 5am daily. I leave the house at 6am to get to work on time and when I leave work I dont get home till 8pm or later so I…

Ashley, I have read several post about T25 reading that people lost inches but not much weight. I also know two different people that did Insanity and only lost inches and not much weight. I am wondering if anyone else had a different result. If you type inT25 in search in Community you will read lots of people lost inches…

Damn, you look great. I am starting soon, what I don't understand with Insanity and T25 no one seems to lose much weight. I don't understand why? Can anyone answer this question?

Bump:flowerforyou:

I have dated a ton of bad boys and in my book its defined as Arrogant, all about themselves. No concern for you feelings, emotional, mental and physically abusive. I do not ever care to have a bad boy again. However I am attracted to a confident man who takes pride in his appearance. He beams with pride when his girl is on…

You all have been a huge help. I will set my calories to my BMR which is 1720 and eat back my exercise calories. I will keep a check on it to make sure I am losing vs gaining. I pray its losing cause I really need to get this fat off.

I used MFP BMR calculator and it puts me at 1708 which is the lowest of them all but all are around 1708 to 1722.
