  • I workout a minimum of 5, usually 6 days a week. If I'm at my kickboxing class it's an hour, if I go to the gym usually like 1.5 hours. I've actually been feeling that if I skip a day (not my usual day off) I feel off and tired the rest of the day and I usually workout in the morning. I take Tuesday off usually since I…
    in How long should you workout Comment by Jess5825 August 2011
  • I've always been afraid to do this, but it works. Up your calories. I was at a plateau for 3 weeks, almost 4, and I was getting very frustrated. I got a body media fit and realized my calorie deficit was way over 1000 calories per day (esp when I worked out), I've bumbled my calories from 1200 to 1400, bam down 1.4 lb…

Though now I attribute this to it happen mostly in my kickboxing class when I was jumping and stuff and it moving around. I got a body media fit a few days ago for more reliable…
    in Best heart rate monitor or calorie burning aid? Comment by Jess5825 August 2011
  • I recently have had a 3 week plateau where I stayed the same. I too recently got a body media fit and found my calorie deficit with my exercise is over 2000 calories. I'm on my feet 10 hour shifts at work. I'd been steadily losing for 7 months. I believe the large deficit had finally caught up to me. So I'm slowly going to…
