Only 3 of the days I would consider hard. The 10 min cardio isn't hard at all, it just gets my heart pumping early so as to jump start my metabolism in the morning. And the 3 mile walk is tolerable, not too much strain. The 30 day shred and the power 90 are the most difficult, that's why I pair them with lower intensity…

Just find way to cover the taste. I use two scoops of my vanilla whey protein powder, mixed with 1 cup of Greek yogurt (even more protein plus great flavor), 1/2 cup to 1 cup of fat free milk, and strawberries (or whatever fruit you like). You won't taste the protein powder at all.

Go to youtube and find some exercise video that a) fit into your time restraints and b) fit your fitness level. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PWEdJRRndkQ&feature=plpp

I doubt a weekend off will completely kill your hard work. Plus even something small could be done if you feel too stressed about it. Check youtube. They have great little workouts that you can do while you're away.theres a bunch!,!! Found this great 10 minute one : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PWEdJRRndkQ&feature=plpp…

That whole net calories /total calories baffle me. There's so many different opinions on whether or not to eat them back. And if I'm not feeling hungry Or feeling fatigued, I don't see the reason to eat them back... ( I'm probably totally wrong)

Yea I've been there and ordered the DVD. It's pretty boring. 10 minutes of jumping jacks isn't my thing. But I do take a lot of tips from his site,

Individually doing the videos, I can finish them but not at the highest intensity. I'm not in the worst shape but far from the best shape. I've just been doing the power 90 program but by itself I feel like a) I'm not burning that many calories and b) the rest of the day I'm just eating and not doing anything so it gets…

Im in nursing school, so i have class, clinical and study time plus I need time to recoup. After about 30 minutes, I start slacking and putting in less effort. Most days I eat over 1200 calories, but if I'm not working out I prefer to eat less calories since im not burning any.

I thinks it always better to make your own. That way you can control the variables such as sugar or sodium or calories, etc and flavor lol

That's why I make my own. It's vanilla flavored, though you honestly can't taste it over the strawberries and yogurt.

Just buy the powder and make your own. My protein shakes give me apprx. 500+ calories using fat free milk, 2% Greek yogurt(extra protein) and the Greek yogurt makes it thicker, and strawberries. (Use any fruit you like) it makes a great after workout snack.

Ok thanks!! You're very knowledgeable. I appreciate your input!

Bump

I was wondering about this too.

So 1200 calories is still too low? Eating vegetables fill me up so its hard for me to want to eat more. Guess ill have to find a way to fit more calories into my diet. ill have to hit up the frozen food aisle for some lean cuisine dinners.

So I should be eating 1600 calories? My BMR is apprx. 1600 calories. It'll take me years to get to my goal weight. Most of the time I try to eat close to 1100-1200 calories, high protein and fiber. ( tends to be high in sugar too due to fruits)

Our current weight is close and our goal weight is close. Same height, and I turn 19 in July!! Age: 18 Height:5'1 SW:182 CW:177 GW:115
