Absolutely! I can't imagine hitting goal and then just quitting MFP. It's the first time in years I've held myself accountable. Why stop at maintenance?

The biggest thing I've noticed is the salt/sodium content of things I used to LOVE. I do eat fried foods now and then, and basically just practice the whole "all things in moderation" mantra that gets so run into the ground. I was so disappointed the last time I decided to have Popeye's chicken (back in January).…

I'm sure I'll get into something! I may pick up some wine on the way home from work, or some Abita beers. OOH, I have the stuff at home to make Pimms Cups. Maybe I'll do that!

Excellent! I have a vacation trip coming up in the next couple of weeks, so I am going to keep on with the TJ until I get back. I think I'm going to just hop right into the TF/CLX hybrid when I get home. Haven't tried TF yet, so everything will be new to me. Who knows... it might actually be easier for you since you're…

I had the same letdown when I started using my Polar FT60. BUMMER that I wasn't burning what I thought I was doing TJ. But I was still losing, so I figured it had to be at least CLOSE. Not even. However, somehow it calibrated itself to what I think is closer to "normal" after I re-did the "fitness test" the following week.…

Thanks! I'm going to have to start shopping for a SPIbelt! I'm in Houston, so "colder weather" is only really a factor for about 30-60 days of the year :laugh:

If you like Chalene, she has another workout program called Chalean Extreme which emphasizes heavier lifting. There is a hybrid calendar for Turbo Fire that I'm getting ready to start soon.

Excellent progress! I'm so glad I "found you" on MFP. We have a lot of the same philosophies so you are a great inspiration for me. I just bought some adjustable dumbbells (no room in my tiny condo for a bench/bar) and am going to start lifting heavy pretty soon. You're such a motivation! Thanks for sharing your story and…

That is a FAB idea. I love tzatziki!

I usually just do oven fries, but I use more savory seasonings like Old Bay or blackening seasoning. If you use chili powder and garlic powder it really adds some zing if you squeeze a lime over them when they come out of the oven. If I eat them like a regular baked potato I use Fage 0% Greek yogurt instead of sour cream,…

Bump for when they finally open our Houston stores!

This is such an awesome thread. Background - started doing Turbo Jam, using the MFP calorie burn calculations about 3 months ago. Using that, and eating back my calories, I've lost about a pound a week. So, I figure the MFP calculations can't be that "off", since if they were inflated, I'd be eating too much and wouldn't…

I'm on week four, and am excited to add a few new workouts to the mix next week. I enjoy the workouts - they are challenging and go by so fast. I love the countdown clock. I try to do three per day, following the calendar. Of course, this depends on how my day went, how much time I have, etc. But I usually do three. On…

I log them as Circut Training, except for the Yoga, which has its own category.
