I would say netting 1200 a day is way too low. You can log how much you would burn while nursing under exercise.

How about trying protein bars? Less calories, more protein and pretty filling and taste good!

MPF estimates for protein are WAY too low. The general rule is you should take in 0.8-1 gram of protein per your body weight, cut that in half.

In my experience the equipment tends to over estimate quite a bit. I would definitely suggest investing in a HRM, it will help with logging your calories and not over estimating calories burned!

I use the 40, 30, 30. Seems to work the best for me!

Thanks so much for posting this! This helped me a lot. I'm taking a rest week, only because I'm sick though.

Nice job, keep up the great work!

agreed!

That is just crazy, I am sorry. To each their own, I know but that is not a healthy weight for anyone unless you're 4'10".

MFP tends to overestimate calories burned with my experience.

Log it as circuit training, MFP will give you an estimate of how many you burned.

Great work! Keep it up!!

Welcome to the site, you will like it here. A lot of great people! I also have about 18 lbs of baby weight to go. Good luck and add me if you like!

Welcome to the site, you will meet a lot of great people here. I'm in Montgomery County!

Push through the soreness, sometimes working out helps with ease it. You can do it, don't give up!!!

I've noticed that with almost all my workouts MFP overestimates calories burned, that's just my experience though.

It's hard to know the exact amount of calories burned unless you have a heart rate monitor. Log it as circuit training and it will give you a general idea of how many calories you burn.

Polar are the best in my opinion, the most accurate and well priced. I have the Polar FT4 and it's awesome. I got it on sale for $89!

Just got it this week. I like it, I feel like it's more challenging then her shred. Oh, there isn't too much jumping involved in this one, maybe just the but kicks.

I went with the Polar FT4, basically the same as the FT7 but it was about $20 cheaper on sale. I LOVE it!

Protein shakes are always a good snack!

Chocolate is DEFINITELY the best!

I got a 5 lb kettle bell and it was WAY too light. I would say 8 lbs is good.

My 3.5 year old and 18 month old. :smile:

I found level 3 to be easier then Level 2.

Unfortunately it's not going to be accurate at all without your weight. My HRM is the Polar FT4 and asks for all those specifics.

Maintained. I'm now eating less of my exercise calories back and zig zagging my calories everyday.

I love it too. It's one thing I refuse to give up!

I'm taking my spin certification next month! Go to this website to look into it. I'm a total spin addict! http://www.spinning.com/spinning-instructors/become-an-instructor.asp Music makes the class in my opinion. I can't stand to be in a class where the music is terrible. Guess you won't be going back to her class! Haha.

Usually about 3-4 lbs more. :(
