So I started using my Fitbit again. Didn't sync it to MFP like suggested, plus it won't sync to it anyway!! Lol here's my concern : it's saying my overall burn is a little over 1500???? Really???? When calculated my tdee on scooby it said it was roughly 2000. So I'm so confused what to do now! I know it's only been a…

I wonder if a HRM would be more beneficial for me. What are others using and why do you use it/like it? Wondering the benefits/pros and cons of HRM vs. Fitbit

Negative calorie adjustment?? Not sure what you mean. I have a Fitbit zip, so no HR monitor on it.

Check out Jessica smith workout videos. They are great!!! You can pick from a huge variety and range of her workouts. They are on YouTube also. I also have a baby (3 months) and toddler (3 years). It can be difficult to exercise but it can be done. I'll be sending you a friend request as maybe we can motivate each other!!

You look great!!!

Thanks llbennett!! I'll have to check it out!

I am like you Xavier as I need the structure in a workout, so maybe the apps aren't a good idea! Lol I'll see where I am in the second 6 weeks of my program and go from there. Thanks!

Haybales- I have been trying to get more protein in my meals. It's definitely something I have to work on!

What is cross training? Home workout/phone app?? Is there anything you use llbennett to help in your body weight exercises? Xavier-yes, I certainly am sweaty, dripping with some workouts. And something is always sore the next morning, lol. JM workouts do incorporate maybe 1/2 of her workouts to using…

Have changed batteries once maybe in past 5 years?? I never thought of the floor playing a part, interesting! I guess I could change batteries and see if that really changes anything, but I've always had this "issue" thanks ladies

Awww thank you for your kind words XavierNusum!!

I'll keep doing what I'm doing and remeasure everything in a month and make any changes if needed based on the results i see.

My phone keeps cutting my messages short, ugh! WE CAN DO THIS MANDA!! Thanks for your support and concern

Well for not doing any of that yourself you sure hit the nail on the head with all the mother stuff you talked about! It is a lot of pressure at times and yes at times I do feel like I need to be super mom or guilty for working out half an hour a day, but I'm coming to accept those things and that I'm far far away from…

I am not breastfeeding

Sorry, I wrote that muscle takes up more space...I know that it does not, typo on my part!!!

You actually told me last night to check it out and I did! It's pretty amazing I guess I'm just looking for an explanation or answer behind it. I know muscle takes up more space but how can one lose inches and not lose weight? Lol sorry for my ignorance. I guess I just don't see myself as one of those people lol me gain…

5'5 TDEE: somewhere between 2389-2693 I started eating at 1700 cal bit then found this group so slowly upped calories. Workout 6x week for 30 min. 4 days are body revolution workout with combo of abs lil cardio strength. 2 days are cardio which is just walking. So that's 3 hrs there... I'm also stay at home mom of a 3 yr…

Thanks kaybrose!!

I tried posting in tech thread but said I wasn't authorized to? Lol I have no clue! Now if I have mfp set my calorie goal for me then both calories match.

Awesome, thanks!!!

I will have to try dividing it up, makes perfect sense! Now why didn't I think of that?!? Lol Thanks for the suggestion!

I have just discovered the cliff bars, oh man how I was missing something yummy all this time!!!!!

Would like to lose 30 to get below pre pregnancy weight. Would love moms as new friends for motivation and to help motivate them in their journey!!!

I am 2 months pp with my second. Before baby 2 I lost 40 lbs, than gained 30 during pregnancy. 20 of that 30 stuck around

Retirehappy-i have been eating more nuts, more so almonds and walnuts on salads and as a snack. They are delish!!! Trying to incorporate protein as much as possible but stressing about it isn't helping me, lol. Thanks for your response!!! Glad you are closer in that area than what you were before.

I'm doing Jillian Michaels body revolution work out right now which incorporates some weightlifting type exercises however it's not heavy lifting by any means!! so I'll just have to keep incorporating protein wherever I can and try not to stress about it!

I do try to fit protein in where I can that's for sure; beans, meat, cheese, eggs, etc. I understand protein helps with heavy lifting, however I'm not doing that. But I do want to build muscle along the way so hence why I'm asking about protein

Mandaleigh123- I'm with you there, overwhelmed with tracking the macros. I mean I used to eats tons and tons and tons of carbs and not pay attention. I try to watch them and sugar because diabetes run in my family BIG time and I want to beat the "trend". Trying to get back into the swing of things after having my second…

Thank you for your responses!! MyModernbabylon- I def feel that would make my life a lot easier because I stress not getting the protein in like I know I should. I guess I will have to go with a Dannon yogurt because I just can't hack the Greek yogurt, it's a consistency thing for me. But I could put it in something…
