This sounds like a great challenge. I'm in!! I do ride my bike a ton so I will have to substitute in more running.

You are looking awesome!! Such progress! Keep it up girl!

Don't freak out! You are fine. Many people incorporate a cheat day or meal into their diet. I have a cheat day every week. It's actually good for your body..gives you an insulin spike. Some people say they never cheat because they can't go back to normal. Mentally I was going nuts without my cheat day and physically I…

I have done both and they are both great. The Ripped in 30 has 4 levels. A couple of the moves are the same but there is still a huge variety. I really can't say which I like more. I will say the blonde girl in Ripped in 30 annoys me:)

Is it soreness or pain? Because soreness will happen...I love it because I know I have pushed harder than I did before. If it's pain, then you need a rest. Soreness I would push through. I'm extrememly sore from Jillian but still plan on doing her workout again tonight. Just my opinions:)

I really do not like mountain climbers! I love the side planks and walking push ups.

I have plain oatmeal with a little peanut butter in it and egg whites with veggies in them. This is the most filling breakfast I have had.

I'm 5'2" and I have been on my last 10 lbs for a long, long time. Or what feels like forever. Feel free to add!

I love this! I have tried to explain it before but have not been successful. This is a much better explanation! Great post!

Definitely eat more. You need to net at least 1200 calories a day and it doesn't even look like you are eating 1200 per day. Say for example I want to net 1200 cals and I burn 400 cals. That means I would be eating 1600 cals. It sounds funny to eat more but it does work. If you do not eat enough you won't lose weight.

Oh how I loved Buffy and Angel!!! And I was born in '85:)

It's my understanding that kcals are equal to calories but I see people using kcals in different ways. Burning 100 cals a week would be very easy and would not really do much for you body. Just by going for a 20 minutes walk you would burn more than that. Plus, the only way to accurately calculate your calories is with a…

Add me Age: 25 Want to lose 5 - 10 more lbs but am getting happy with my slimming down and toning

Also, after I netted below 1200 for a while, I was not feeling very healthy and tired a lot more.

I think you should net at least 1200 calories. I was not netting that much at first and was losing. But once I got to the last 10 lbs...it stopped coming off. I started eating more and net at least 1200 (sometimes 1150 because I just couldn't get enough that day) and I have been slimming down. No lbs have came off but the…

Go to your settings and make your diary public.

Not sure what you are eating or what your exercise routine is so it's hard to offer help. If you post I'm sure many will come to help out:)

I do HIIT on the elliptical for 20 - 30 minutes depending on how much time I have. On weekends or when I'm off from work I do it longer because I have the time. Incorporating HIIT with that will really help boost your metabolism.

Lots of veggies and protein. I also love protein shakes they help with hunger! I eat oatmeal with peanut butter in it for breakfast and that helps with hunger I think. Check out my food diary if I like. As for soda, I drink one or two a week and that's on my cheat day. I drink water or tea the rest of the time. And have a…

Good luck with your goals!! Friend me if you would like too! Maybe we can share food ideas.

I'd say lower it now. I lowered mine when I had 10 lbs left to lose. It's the hardest to come off and it should come off slowly that way it stays off.

I still get sore especially when adding weight to my strength training workouts. I love that feeling...I know I'm pushing it then!

BUMP

5 eggs whites with mushrooms Oatmeal with crunch peanut butter and about a quarter of an apple with cinnamon on it (I cook the apples at the beginning of the week). I like to add this 0 calorie caramel from Walden Farms that I found. I drink about 3 cups of water in the morning too. This is normally between 400 - 425…

Heart Rate Monitor is the only way to get an accurate calorie burn. MFP is not accurate and there is no calculation to do unless you have an HRM. But you can log it under circuit traning for 30 minutes! BTW...I love JM workouts. They are great! If you need any help on picking out an HRM I know a little about them. I also…

It really doesn't matter if you eat 1 minutes before you go to bed or 4 hours before you go to bed. Some trainers will say do not eat after 7 or 8 or whatever. I normally try to eat my dinner between 6:30 and 7:30 just depending on my schedule. Then I do strength training sometime after that and then my protein shake with…

I believe you can do this. I wasn't working out very much before I did this DVD the first time. The first couple of days were rough and I was sore but I kept with it and saw results!

The only way to know it to wear a HRM.

I definitely did the same thing. I'm not sure the exact weight but the first year I packed the pounds on. I was about 25 lbs heavier than what I was when we first met. He has gained as well but both of us have lost almost 20 lbs each now. It is tough but definitely doable to lose those "marriage" pounds. I finally saw what…
