1. How long have you used mfp for? Since Nov 2009 2. How has your logging habits changed over time? Usually I log for a week or two, don't see any progress, then quit. Start again when I feel like I've gained too much. 3. Have you ever reached goal and if so at what point? Nope. 4 Have you ever reverted to your old ways…

Yes. I dropped between 1/2-1 shoe size. Haven't lost much elsewhere, but my feet are smaller.

Um...is that ONE serving??

Great job! You look much happier. :happy:

I just did the Northern Virginia TM 2013 in April. They do NOT keep time. Maybe if you are one of the elite TM's, but my group was definitely not in that category. Have fun with it. It's wet, dirty and painful. Stay with your teammates and help others out. Just enjoy the fact that you can do it and remember the…

I have never heard that correlation before. I have been on meds for years trying to get to overall chol down below 200 but my HDLs are always in the 60's. I've never had a doctor really concerned about it because all my other numbers are good. LDL's could be lower, but I'm working on it. ***BTW: Congrats Wolfman on a great…

Excellent, excellent comparison. I have completed three rounds of P90X. I'm definitely not a stud, but a 47 year old woman. I like to weight train. P90X just doesn't fit into my timeline anymore. Too long. I started Supreme 90 about a month ago--in fact, I just started the 2nd month today and got my butt kicked on the Back…

I just went to the link and one of the comments said "Do NOT use 3- 1 oz boxes of pudding". I think the 3.4 oz is the box with regular sugar. I was unable to find a 3.4 oz box of sugar free, fat free pudding mix. I found 1 oz boxes (but will have to use vanilla--no cheesecake at my store). Will probably double the recipe…

Bump!

I would probably keep moving forward. If you come out at the other end and need to add a week then you can. I'm certainly no expert, but I hope it helps.

Bump. I would like to know this also.

I am going to try "About Time" next. It only has 4 ingredients and they have many different flavors. Probably get to it in a couple of months when I finish my humongous can of GNC protein.

I've been **lurking**, asking a few questions since around May. Raised my calories to 1600 for a while, 1800 for a while, then 2000 (but only for a week). Yesterday I went all in. I'm using 2270 calories (average TDEE between strenuous & moderate--doing P90X, in phase 2). I ate all the calories yesterday and felt great…

Bump.

I'm in!

Yes. My hip flexors do NOT like ARX. I just do it occasionally, but do other ab exercises. I really don't have an hour and 15 minutes every morning to work out. So my abs are suffering. (yeah, that's the reason. :laugh: )

I read that if you put the pit in with the avacado it will keep it green. I made quac on Saturday morning, put the pit in the bowl with it and it stayed green and looking good through the next day.

I started last week (again). I have bad wrists (both have been broken) and had carpal tunnel surgery last year on my left hand. I always do assisted pull ups (chair) and half regular/half knee pushups. It's still a good workout. I wish I could do regular, but I have to work within my limits.

Try this website, then enter your own information on MFP. http://p90xcalories.com/

There's no coffee or CNN involved for me. I roll out of bed, put on my workout clothes, grab a bottle of water and head down to the basement. All of the posts make me realize it is probably worth it to get up earlier. (Dang it!!) I am a retired Marine and I NEVER got up this early. Oh well.

I try to go to bed between 9 and 10. But luckily I can sleep on the train! :bigsmile:

You can do it without the thigh toner. They show several modifications to the exercises depending on your level of fitness or equipment.

I built a lot of muscle on this program. You need either weights or bands to do the exercises. They also have a "thigh toner"--a band (used normally for physical therapy I think) that goes around your ankles to help whittle away your hips and thighs. Other than that, there is nothing else required.

When I started it I didn't feel like I was getting much out of it either. As you progress, and you can do more, get stronger, I think the effects increase as well. You can put more into it because you know what the exercises are and can concentrate on that instead of just trying to figure out what to do. Good luck.

I never thought I would get up at 4. Now I'm considering 3:45.

I ran the MCM twice. My daughter is now training for this year's marathon. She is on MFP also. Maybe she'll jump on here. Good luck to you all.

Awesome job! You should be proud of your hard work.

I think it gets easier. I get up at 4 M-F to workout. I wish I didn't have to but I don't get home from work until 6. Then there's dinner, get food ready for next day, husband time. If I don't do it in the morning, it won't get done. Good luck. Oh-I don't eat first. I roll out of bed, get dressed, grab a bottle of water…
