I too am in process of reset, just upped the calories from 2400 to 2600 yesterday. Never in a million years did I think I could EVER eat this much nor have that high of a tdee. Lol thinking the same as you 3furballs, keep going with reset and start cut at new year. That way all the holidays are out of the way and I can…

Retirehappy-thanks for the reccommended thread. I will be checking that out. Didn't know there was one! It sounds like I need to eventually increase and invest in heavier Dumbbells, but for now I'm ok. I just never thought that "heavy lifting" was with Dumbbells. shows how much I know! LOL thanks ladies

Mindylee-you got your arms by using only Dumbbells?!? WOW! That gives me some hope.

Stress SUCKS! Nuff said. I did see kiki's video on stress. It was very helpful. I think I stress more about my weight loss journey than anything else. "Why am I not losing? What did i eat that caused the gain? Did I measure everything correctly? Is my workout not challenging enough? I overate my calories. My body…

I have done the chair position, burpees, squats, etc as I'm a Jillian Michaels junkie and she does these. I have done a lot her workouts plus her body revolution, which has a good bit of strength/yoga/Pilates with Dumbbells. I've also done strength workouts with Jessica smith on YouTube. They all have been great, just…

I'll have to look at some kettle bell workouts, I might like those!

My post was cut off... Anyway, you are right that what you put into it depends on whether not you'll see the results. I just know that I'll never step foot in the gym again so I was trying to incorporate more strength training into my workouts so I could see some transformation in my body. Thanks again for your help and…

I do have bands, 5lb and 10lb Dumbbells and a resistance cable. I did just look on youtube last night and saved some dumbbell workouts that look good and challenging. I'll just have to keep adding videos from Pinterest and YouTube. Those are my go to places! Lol I want to invest in an excercise ball. I found one with…

Sumiblue- is it enough to transform my body though? I know the dumbbell workouts I've been doing have been good and challenging. I just have to keep doing workouts to continue the challenge. I've googled and looked on YouTube and found some more, so hopefully they will be helpful. What's a power cage? Lol thanks for your…

Benowell-Have you seen results? I have done workouts that incorporate weight training. Ive used YouTube for a lot of them. I just feel Dumbbells aren't going to cut it!

That's great with loss of inches! I'm following your thread as I feel I'm reading about myself when I read your posts! Love the updates!

Amber here from Pennsylvania! 30 yo mom of two wonderful kids; 3 yo boy and 5 month girl and wife to an amazing hubby! Working to lose about 20 lbs after pregnancy. Started 3 years ago when I had my son and lost 30. Here's to the next 20!!!!

Hi spencer!! Very blessed I am!

Fellow mom of two here. 3 year old boy and 5 month girl. Let's do this!!'

Hello there! Mine is open, sent request

I've never heard of her. I'll have to check into it, thanks!

Glad to see the success with the cut!

Manda- love the new pic!

So here's an update on my numbers for Fitbit. I'm thinking it's not working properly... When I go to bed I check it and it's normal range is somewhere between 1700-2100. When I go back into the fit bit app to check it says 1500?? So did it drop that significantly Bc of me sleeping? Mine doesn't track sleep though. It's not…

That's great! Keep up the great work

Thanks haybales for answering all my questions! I went back and kept reading and rereading and I think I understand it all now!! Takes me a lil while sometimes!

You got this!!!

I would say the rests are about a minute with more like 5-15 reps. It's definitely more circuit training style because you do a couple sets

Yes, I weigh all my food at home except liquids. When we go to non chain restaurants I have to guesstimate so there is definitely room for error there! So would it be helpful for me to get a HRM to see calories burned then manually log it into my Fitbit? Or would that not be necessary? Tonight I went for my walk and it…

JMBR is more resistance/weight focused. Out of her 30 min workout there are 4 cardio sections that are each a min long, so 4 min out of the 30 min are cardio. The rest is ab and strength work with weights, body weight or resistance cable. My Fitbit does not track sleep, but I will check out the other sections as you…

Amanda-how did you know it wasn't accurate? Just because it was showing a low burn?

I did reenter all my stats after using again: weight/height etc. battery needed replaced and put everything back in with updates after disconnecting. Workout is 6x a week doing JM body revolution, sometimes 7x. 2-3 days walking other days JM BR. JM workout is 30 min and the walks range from 30-45 min. I'm a stay at home…

Just based on step activity, nothing fancy at all! That 1500 is from the device. And that's daily.
