It also keeps the post active so it stays toward the top of the message board.

That is one of the first things I noticed the first week and a half on here. If I had a smaller breakfast in the morning it was ALOT easier to stick to my calorie goal for the day vs. eating a very high calorie breakfast. I definitely recommend eating a low cal breakfast! It's been a breeze since I started having a light…

How do you put it in sweat mode?

L1D9 finished last night! Anyone else feel heavy? I've been feeling heavy the past couple days but I think it may be from the whey protein shakes I started on Sunday. My friend told me it would do that. It makes it really hard during cardio. I feel like i have weights on me. Jump n jacks are starting to give my shin…

Yeah I suck but I guess i'll get better. lol I Got You 8248 When I Grow Up 7382 Toxic 8547

It's completely normal! We all went through that the first 3-4 days then the soreness subsides. Keep at it! Your body is changing!!

I saw the already mixed 4 packs when I went down the health supplement isle but a friend of mine recommended Six Star Whey Protein. I'm pretty sure any whey protein would be about the same. I got vanilla. I've never been a fan of chocolate. I will warn everyone it is VERY thick like a fluffy milk shake with 2%milk. I'm…

Missed Day6 due to unexpectedly not being home for my usual workout time which is already late. By the time I was able to do it I couldn't since everyone in the house was sleeping and our house is up on bricks. I would shake the whole house and make tons of noise. :embarassed: :laugh: :sad: But I did finish L1D7 and cardio…

I just got this game from gamefly.com last week wish I would have seen the post then. Oh well i'll join in this week!! Can't wait to see what I can do. Haven't played it yet. lol

Make sure that you are getting at least 1200 calories a day. If you exercise that will add more to the minimum required. If you go too far under you minimum your body will go into starvation mode and cling to all the fat that it can making you gain instead of lose. Also like others have said if any muscles are sore on your…

Finished Day 4 yesterday before going out for a night of league pool. I had so much energy and didn't feel drained like I used to at the end of the day. I used to have to drink a NOS energy drink or I would get so sleepy and grumpy. I love this new found energy!! About to do L1D5 and can't wait! I don't ever want to go…

LOL Me too!! There were times I would grunt trying to get out of my recliner!! Haha!!

Finished Day 3 late last night! Endurance is picking up and soreness is lessening. Not very sore today at all!! Gonna have to do my workout early today since I have to shoot league pool tonight! Playoffs! Hope my workout today gives me the energy its been giving me lately!!

I'm glad you said that cause now that I think about it I probably was. That's is one of my favorites on the cardio round! It really gets my HR up and a nice burn in my abs!

Definitely! We'll all get there even though it definitely isn't easy!!! I will say i'm curious/scared to see what their gonna make us do in the second workout. At least by then we will have our endurance up and should be able to take it on!!

I use a HRM also that tells me how many calories i've burned. You click on the exercise tab and then My Exercises under that. You can put the name of your workout, time you spent, and calories burned. I add it everyday.

Actually managed to finish the whole workout yesterday(Day2) after modifying the jump rope and just jogging in place. Had to put my weights down a couple times on the bend and press but I made it through the whole workout and burned 380 calories!! I thought it would be horrible cause I was so sore but it actually made my…

Thanks! I think if I do that i'll be able to get through the whole thing! I'm gonna have to do that this afternoon! Jess

Thanks Val! I did eat breakfast and lunch and then waited a couple hours. I think my failing point was that I only had a glass of milk with my lunch before the exercise. At least I hope. I would hate to have to go through that with every exercise till my body gets used to it.

Gosh everyone must be in way better shape than me! lol I made right before the cool down and couldn't manage to pull off the last jump rope. I sat down drank some water and ended up having to lay on the floor with my pants off, nauseous, headache, light headed for 10-15min. Took awhile to recover and didn't get any house…

I got my measuring tape, weights, mat(not sure if i'll need it since my living room is carpeted), and 30ds dvd last night at walmart! I got soo lucky since it was the LAST copy. Must have been meant to be. lol I saw someone ask earlier where to get a measuring tape. They are with the sewing supplies by the needles and…

Well i'm hoping to do this! I just joined MFP on the 7th and have already noticed some of my bad habits I need to stop but overall the exercise I need that I am not getting. After two babies and eating ice cream(to "increase" fat content in my milk... stupid pedi) it is time to get back in those skinny jeans! I am going to…

It looks like 1 cup of cooked pasta is equal to 2oz. dry. I'll stick with that for now so I can go eat lol

You know i actually have one of those tools that i used to stir the pasta. lol I've never measured before cause its me, my husband, and our three kids so I've always cooked the whole box since we go through it within a couple days. I'll try and google and see what I can find.

Thanks ladies!! I think I have a good idea now. :) Although half the time I wash the dishes I end up sweating(not all the time) so I'm still a little confused about that one. lol I think that is a good idea though to let my body tell me how "hard" the work is that i'm doing. Jess
