How low in carbs/calories are you talking? I like an omelette with 1 egg, 2 whites, and filled with about an oz of Neufchâtel cheese. Low carb meals are not usually very low calorie, because they use fats to help fill you help and eliminate the need for snacking (and extra calories).

Yes, it has a chest strap. So I need to figure out what my BMR for the hour is by dividing it by 24? So 1690/24= 70.4. Then, since this workout was 30 mins, I would subtract 35 from the calories it shows me burning? The correct amount would be 388? thanks for the help.

It is more like an aerobics workout than just walking in place. Variety of knee lifts, kicks, side steps, and arm movements are used so it is a lot more involved than something like a walk around the block. It is at a 4-4.5 mph pace. Plus, I am a bigger girl ( 5'7 196lb) so I know I will burn more than someone in good…

No, I haven't tested by wearing my hrm all day. My BMR from online calculations is 1690. This is just starting the monitor when I start the video and stopping right before the stretches at the end.

Raw whole cows milk is our choice. Yum!

BFBM today kicked my butt. Couldn't finish it. I'm used to the shorter workouts of 30DS. I guess I'll have to work up to finishing it, too.

Some more unscheduled rest days, but got back on NMTZ yesterday. I only did one time through each circuit, so it was only as long as the Shred workouts. I am definitely gonna have to work up to the full video. Shred level 1 again today.

Days 1 and 2 done yesterday and today. My legs are oh so sore, but it feels good to on a schedule again. A few weeks off and it gets super hard to start back.

My goal during this 30 Day Slimdown is to lose at least 5 pounds and 10 overall inches. I am hoping to do some major slimming of the arms and muffin top areas. :-)

Hi, all! Just saw this challenge, is it too late to join in? I am 29, and 199. I lost a few pounds doing 30DS in April, then took most the month of May off because of vacation. Ready to get back into a routine. :-)

I buttoned a pair of size 14 pants today. They are still too tight to wear comfortably, but I have been a size 16/18 for the last 3 years, so I consider that major progress for about a month and a half on my journey. :-)

About 30 mins 5-6 days a week. Gonna bump it up to about 45 mins in a week or so. Doing JM 30 Day Shred and 30 day Squat challenge right now, and probably gonna start JM 30 Day Slim Down next.

Oh, ok. I am just a beginner here, so I'm still figuring things out. Maybe someone will have a better answer for you.

Bacon Eggs WG bread/English muffins Peanut butter Cottage cheese Butter Chicken Fish (tilapia and salmon) Salad fixings ( whatever is on sale or looks good) Fruit ( again on sale or looks good) Cheese Fresh/frozen veggies for dinners ( usually roasted broccoli, carrots, red potatoes, green beans) Raw milk ( from a cow…

YEP! lol

I *think*- if you are trying to lose weight by following the TDEE method you would eat 2300-345(15%)=1955 but if you are set on MFP at 1500 and are burning say 400 from exercise which you eat back, you are eating 1900. So not much difference, and basically where you should be according to TDEE minus 15%.

I log them as circuit training. I don't have a HRM yet, so it works for me.

Awesome job! I am on L2D8, and hope I see some results like yours.

I feel ya there, girl! DH laughs at me when I tell him I have to wear a pantyliner because of the jumping jacks. I told him after he carries 3 babies, then he will earn the right to laugh. Lol

Something sexy!

Idk about OP, but yes, I do consider butter a healthy fat. Much better than margarine or canola oil. I prefer whole raw milk. I make room for it in my calorie counts.

This sounds so good! I think I will be trying it out this evening.

I am so glad I found this thread! So over hearing about needing processed protein shakes, etc. Real food is the way to go!

Sounds so good. Will have to try this soon.

Thanks so much for this post! Lots of great advice.
