Hey Sam!! I'm only on week 3 of JMBR - AND I am going away on vacation starting tomorrow for a week - SO I will again be back at Week 3 when I return. I don't have any progress pics yet, but I am losing inches off my waste! She definitely kicks your butt! HARD! with this program, but I'm sure you are already aware of that…

Congratulations!! That's an awesome transformation. Can you share what type of exercises you did and your daily caloric intake? You look awesome!!! :)

I'm currently in week 3 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution - so another 9 weeks and I'll be done her schedule. Then I am going to go onto T25.

HI there, My name is Lynn, I've been on MFP for approximately 2 months or so....Summer is SOOOO hard to stick with a diet plan, but I'm determined that this is my year! I currently live in Ontario Canada, 30 years old and live with my common law partner/boyfriend for almost 6 years! No children, can't wait to start having…

Hi there! You look awesome!!! It definitely looks like you've lost WAY more than that though!! What is the 5x5 program? or SL program?

thanks for all the advice. In response to some of the feedback. I am fully committed 100%. I have a food scale and I weight my food, I use measuring cups for all my food and I work my BUTT off in the exercise program that I am doing. My boyfriend can attest to that considering he is doing it with me. I think it is exactly…

One more question - how do I change those numbers to % - which MFP needs

Great thank you so much!! I'll try it out and see what happens. I appreciate your advice!!

Sorry - quick fingers! That's a lot of calories no?? I'm fearful that if I eat that much in calories I'll gain more weight - I know that's probably a really stupid mentality BUT I REALLY want to lose weight! haha :)

I did mention it! LOL Age - 30 Weight - 225lb Height - 5'7" Workout - 6 times/week (30 min each)

Here's hoping that's the case!! haha - I workout 6 days a week for 30 minutes (pretty intensely too) and eat roughly 1450 calories give or take....Good luck to you too!

ok so if I did my math correct for a person of my size - 225lbs, 5'7" tall, 30 years old - my macros should be: Carb - 90g Protein - 68g Fat - 78g Does that sound right?

Thanks! I was having ground flax in the morning to get some more fibre. As for the exercise routine - do you think that Jillian Michaels Body Revolution is good enough for change?? or should I put some other exercises in?

Thanks guys!! My next question was going to be how to set up my macros!! Is there a website that would help me determine what my macros should be??

anyone else??? :) I thought I would get lots of people with advice....

Nope - unfortunately my TOM isn't for another 2 weeks. What would you suggest I should set my macros at for protein? Someone mentioned that my sugar should be lower - would you recommend that also? If so to what??

sorry I'll open it. I thought I had made it public. Oops!

^^ This - you look incredible - what did you do as exercise?? :) I too am going to add you!

Good job!!! What's your secret?? :)

congrats!! :) 40lbs in 2 months!!! That's great...what did you do to lose that much?

Just started 5 days ago!! So far so good. Sore but I think it will be worth it.

^^ This - I use runtastic to calculate my calories burned! It's a great App!

I make curry all the time since my common law partner is Indian. We have many indian cookbooks and purchase those boxes of indian spices. What I honestly do is cut out the amount of oil they suggest and only use about 2 tsp or less. Cuts the calories by ALOT!! The box brands that we use are "National" and "Shan". They can…

I'm 5'7" and 222 lbs. Looking to lose 60 lbs. Add me if you would like! :)

#5, 7 or 9!!

Exactly this ^^ I too used to have this problem, except that I would be gassy too. I went to the doctor and she told me to cut out gluten and dairy for a little while to see if that helped which it did (BUT IT WAS HARD TO DO!!). Getting tested for allergies is not covered by health insurance (in Canada anyways) therefore…

Thanks - how slow do you think I should do my running at?? 4mph??

Thanks I've joined the group! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks again

Great!! Thanks so much. Just wanted to see if there was a variance on that. When you track yours do you look up the walking portion and put how many minutes you walk and then the same thing with your running??
