I just wanted to re-ask the OP's question about how many calories my fellow tall ladies are eating..... I'm 5'11 and MFP has me set at about 1400 calories to lose a pound a week....I think it might be too low for me.....I'm thinking of moving it up to 1500 and seeing how that goes...then moving it up higher if I have…

Did first day of Push today.....lots of triceps! They are my weakest area so I'm very happy that there was such a focus... I think I am going to try the bands...at least for lower body because I don't have the room to get 20+ lb weights.....hopefully if I only use them for lowerbody I can switch faster??? Also went jogging…

started week 3.....I swear I see a difference already! :tongue: Hope you're all doing well! :drinker: Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

I think its because its a lot of shoulders and calves...i don't know...Its just not as "fun" for me for some reason..its still great though so don't worry :wink: Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

Did Burn Circuit 3 tonight....it's my least favorite....but still did it :happy: I only lost 0.2 lbs this week....gotta watch my eating on the weekend....I can tell that I'm getting more toned though....yay Hope everyone is having a good Thursday! :flowerforyou: Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

Not yet!!! I am hoping another month or so and I should be ready....at least close to ready....then it will be the tough decision.....what color? red? do i have the guts to do that? :tongue: I'm glad I'm doing an organized program too....I tend to not push myself hard enough when i leave the workout up to whatever I feel…

Hi All adnama - All the best...so sorry that you're going through so much :flowerforyou: Last week I didn't finish my whole week so I'm starting where I left off....did Burn Circuit 2...shaking afterwards....muscles feel alive :happy: On the weekend it was gorgeous so I put on a pair of capri's I wore the summer…

Started day 1 of week 2 yesterday...it was easier this time around...last week I was shaking like crazy.....today I feel great though! I've been doing my own stretching...I think it helps....I spend at least 5 extra minutes....I feel like Chalean doesn't take enough time to stretch afterwards.... I've also been running…

So I'm in the first week....Just finished the third circuit of Burn..the one with all the calf raises!!! wow. love this program...i tried 10lbs for upper body today....made it to ten reps...than had to quit...trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.... i don't have any weights heavier than 10lbs....i definitely need…

I'm in the first week of the Burn Phase...today was the second circuit. I am SORE. I was shaking throughout and afterward...... But I LOVE it. :heart: I'm doing the "couch to 5k" program instead of the cardio dvds but i did do the ab burner afterwards...and my stomach is killing today! I'm worried i won't be able to walk…

I plan on doing the exact same thing! ChaLean and Couch to 5K starting tomorrow :happy: I hope its okay to do them together!? I just like the idea of getting outside at least three days a week to exercise....if its raining I'll do the ChaLean cardio dvds though....I don't think I would make it through only doing the…

I've fallen off the health wagon and am struggling to get back onto it. :brokenheart: I decided not to weigh in this week and to instead use this long weekend to re-evaluate my goals and to figure out a new plan for eating and exercise. I'll be back soon. Just wanted to say I haven't given up..just need to take a…

Better late than never :blushing: Internets been down so I didn't get a chance to post yesterday: sw157.2 w2 156.4 w3 156.4 w5 155.6 w6 156.4 Guess I need to step up my game! Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

today was an okay day..... not sure what to expect tomorrow for weigh-in.....the scale could go either way :ohwell: guess we'll see......... Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

Thanks for the response :flowerforyou: I am not a fan of eggs or omelets (unless they're so covered in cheese you can't taste the egg anymore :wink: ) so I guess I'd be on my own for breakfast.... I still might give the workout a try and do my own thing food-wise...maybe eat a bit more protein and a little less carbs (I…

were the foods boring? or just gross? :laugh: I'm researching ChaLean and wish they'd put up some recipes on their site somewhere so i could get a sense of what to expect. (unless they do and I just haven't found them :blushing: ) Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

How heavy were the weights you were using? I'm thinking about starting but only have up to 10 lbs at home right now....are those heavy enough to start with? Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

Great job sticking to your healthy lifestyle this weekend! Are you keeping track of your measurements as well? I know for me I lose inches before I lose pounds....its nice to see some inches down even though the scale is being stubborn. :wink: Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

:heart: Thanks for the support everyone! :flowerforyou: I really needed the kind words! Some people just put their foot in their mouths sometimes and just don't realize the impact of their words. Oh well. Moving forward! Today I am back on track. Ate very well and exercised today. I'm considering ordering ChaLean by…

So. Weekend. Thumbs down. Saturday I had a friends birthday. Before we went out to the club we went to her house for a little pre-party. Her father came up to me and said some pretty brutal comments about my weight. To summarize I have "potential" but I just need to "work on my body". His final comment to me was "Have some…

white wine isn't too bad...in moderation :tongue: or white wine spritzers.... dance a lot at the concert afterwards...and lots of water and fiber-rich foods tomorrow :happy: Have fun tonight! Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

11 lbs????? WOW Congrats! Did you do anything different this week to achieve that? Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

start weight: 157.6 last weigh-in: 156.4 current weight: 155.6 SOOOO down 0.8 lbs :happy: I didn't think that was going to happen at all! wooohoooooo also did my measurements and I'm down an inch in my waist :smile: Summer 2009 WILL Be Different! [/url]

Terrible day at work. Thankfully its over. i'm okay with calories today. i quit half way through my workout because my heart just wasn't in it....at least i did half. better than nothing i suppose. good luck tomorrow everyone! :flowerforyou: [/url]

:happy: [/url]

Daily Check in: calories good, exercise could of been better...i canceled my workout plan after a friend called and suggested a walk instead.....so i didn't do an intense workout like I planned...BUT we did walk to a store and I got a new necklace :tongue: So could have been a worse day :glasses: Weigh-in day is sooo close…

I second cookinglight.com! I think their recipes have a lot of "clean" ingredients. making them nutritious as well as lower calorie and fat. Sometimes with hungrygirl its a lot of processed ingredients..... [/url]

Thanks! It really motivated me to keep going :happy: [/url]

Had a MUCH better day today...i think my mini-roadtrip got me off schedule and I ended up relaxing my diet after that..... But today was a good one..worked out...ate well...yay! My friend made a "you look thinner" comment today which was FANTASTIC :heart: :happy: :heart: [/url]

I was really really really bad this weekend....too much wine..too much food......shame on me! Tomorrow is a new day....will get back on track. [/url]
