  • I'd like to hear more takes on this as well. I just did an RMR test yesterday and mine came back much higher than I expected--1900 cals. Add in lifestyle and exercise and my maintenance calories alone are about 800 more than what I was eating. I'm not looking to lose weight but recomp. I'm fairly new to actively tracking…
  • Morning! I had three Kahlua and almond milks last night. Interesting combination. I really wanted some red wine but was too lazy to get off my *kitten* and get to the store so a little improvisation was needed.
  • Hello lovers. I, like so many before me, am so glad to have found you! How lovely to be surrounded by fellow drinkers without guilt! I want to join in. Since starting MFP I track my weeknight wine calories. Weekends? Who can track how many beers you've had? Especially when I like to say, well I only had 4 beers and my…
  • Well our Sunday got away from us this past weekend which should have been Plyo. So we continued Monday with Shoulders/Arms and then did Plyo last night instead of Yoga. Tonight is Legs/Back and we'll see how that feels back to back with the Plyo. I'm concerned that 3 1/2 weeks in I'm still showing a weight gain on the…
  • Day 1, week 3 today Chest and Back. I noticed a huge improvement over last week. By the end of the video I was dragging a little but I got a bunch of "real" pushups done and more pull ups (even though I'm on the chair). ARX is still kicking my butt but my breaks are getting shorter. 527 calories burned. :)
  • I had Legs and Back today, my favorite. I'm finally noticing a difference in my abilities on the ARX which is good! Looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow. I need to concentrate on getting my legs and hips involved more but it's hard on the carpet which doesn't allow for a lot of twist. Hopefully the second time through I'll…
  • Check your medical insurance for an alternative medicine benefit. My old insurance paid 50% of massages given by a licensed massage therapist up to $750 a year. Wish I had taken advantage of that when I had it. You could also check and see if there's a local massage therapy school near you. The students have to have so…

  • I tend to weigh myself everyday, always in the morning before eating. I can accept a 3 lb "variance" before getting worried. I read a blurb in this month's Shape magazine and it said that people who weigh themselves daily lose more and maintain easier because you can see weight creeping back on. Here's the online link:…

  • We finished Arms and Shoulders and ARX for week 2 today. Week 2 is feeling harder than week 1! ARX is still kicking my butt. It's worst on my hip flexors!
  • Me too! Friday night thru Sunday night. LOL.
  • Hi all! My husband and I started on 2/19 and today is our first rest day! It's going great so far and I'd have to say that Legs and Plyo have been my favorites so far. I'm loving a new workout everyday and not getting bored. I have to agree with the others who didn't like the yoga and I might pull out the Cardio X video…
