Hi, I hope somebody can give me advice what to do. I am 32-year-old, and I have around 9 pounds to lose. I usually eat healthy, Mediterranean diet with a lot of vegetables fish, white meat, healthy snacks etc. My philosophy is everything in moderation, and it is the diet I feel the best with. I work out at least two times…

It is not my picture it is my goal :)

Hi. I have started intermittent fasting from January 12th. At first I was doing 16/8 but in the last week I managed to do 18/6. I like this way of eating. My body adjust and fasting is not too difficult anymore (even though I do have easier and harder days). My main issue is that I'm not losing any weight. In my eating…

ok maybe I log differently . I will try to be more accurate. Tnx

I work our and eat the same as I did all the previous years I was losing the weight. But if it is not the metabolism why is it not working now? Any ideas?

I've been doing curves 30 minute circuit for almost a moth now and I really like it! But I have a question. The trainers say that this workout burns 500 calories and MFP says 153 calories?? I know 500 is a bit too much for 30 minutes but 153 feels too little??

And how long is one workout? I'm doing Jillian Michael No more trouble zones which is all weight exercises. It lasts about one hour and she recommends it 5 days a week. I think that's a little too much so I thought I would split the exercises in half and alternate first and last 30 minutes of the DVD. So i would work out…

I forgot to say, I'm thinking about weight exercises. Because I'm at my goal weight and I'm maintaining. But I want to tone up. So I'm debating if I should work out (just with weights) 30 minutes 5-6 days a week (i will have at leas one day free) or I should work out 3 day a week for longer (for example one hour) .

Arms, especially triceps. Abs are ok and legs are great. :p

Lettuce wraps (with vegetables, tuna and pickle-light yogurt dip)

This is my first DVD by Jillian and I'm on my 3. day. I'm planning on doing it 6 days a week for 30 days. It's killer workout and my muscles are sore but I can only hope it will get easier :D I log it as Curves Circuit Training and I get about 250 calories burnt. If I log it as circuit training, general I get a lot of…

First time I stopped on first circuit. But I decided that I will complete it and the day after that I did the whole thing. I'm just on day 3 toady but I have a feeling I can do more little by little. I'm taking more rest time and for some exercises I do the easier variations. But I don't give up. :D Can anyone tell me ho…

I've reached my goal and decided I want to tone up more. So I've decided to do No more trouble zones for 30 days. :) I will have a rest day every 7 days. I did 2 days and every muscle in my body is sore. But I like it! One question,,,should I do any other exercise for my tricepses except this? They are my trouble area :(

I'm planning on doing it 5 or 6 times a week (I'm not doing anything else). I have a feeling this is just what I need more muscle less cardio exercises. I'm on my day 2 today and It's killer workout,,but I made it :) One question though. Is this enough for toning up my triceps or should I do something more?

Enchiladas in skillet Gnocchi with mushrooms Salad with greens, corn, beans, chicken and homemade light yogurt dressing.

I've used MFP from the beginning and I always ate my exercise calories back,,and it worked for me so I never changed it! ;) @cwolfman13 Thank you for your advice. I love the idea of upping little by little,, I think that will help the transition. :) @RonandDi I also now eat a little bit of everything. So increasing my…

I've discovered this thread when I joined MFP in January. I waited to hit my goal weight before respoding and that happened today!!! :) (even thou I have more to lose :p) - I've just now realized how fat I were. I was satisfied before with my body,,and I always thought I need to lose at most 10 pounds. I've lost 18 and I…

I'm afraid that I'm not enough fit for it. Is it very hard? Should I be in shape to do it?

I'm only on my day 7 and I have a feeling that my upper leg is getting too bulky, and I don't like it. Is that possible or is it in my head? I'm an apple shape so my legs have always been relativity skinny. I walk a lot too.

I'm doing it and I'm on my day 4 today. How do you log it? I believe squats burn calories but I can't find them on exercise part of mfp logging thingy. :p

I started yesterday. I can barely make it 55 I can't imagine of making it 250!! :p

Where I can see before and afters?

I'm so doing this. :)

I discovered ToneItUpcom girls and I'm starting to do their exercises today. They seem ok for the beginners (I'm a total beginner at this type of exercises) :D

Just one thing? :p Hmmm,, If I have to choose only one I love my eye color. They are dark green but they change color. For example if it's rainy they get dark gray-bluish color.

Thank you everyone for your answers,,I will Google all your suggestions and start to do something ;) @JesterMFP I think I will lose about 3 more pounds and then I will stop and concentrate on toning up. I would prefer to have a bit of fat on my belly that to be too skinny all around with perfect belly ;) So if I want to…

I don't know how I can lift If I can't go to the gym and I don't have the money to buy weights.:( Any suggestions? I have 2 kg weights but I suppose that is too light.
