[/quote] I have my calories set at my BMR which is 1395 ~ lose a little less than 1lb per week. I eat back exercise calories as well. [/quote] Awesome Thanks!! ** I was trying to "quote" but don't know how, sorry!**

ok, thanks!! :)

:smile: Level 1 Day 7 done! I was impressed with myself a little this morning. I was actually able to do the first set of pushups with no modification!!! Woo hoo!! Second set though I did have to do modification. Also the first cardio circuit I was able to do the entire thing without stopping!! Wasn't easy but I pushed…

Did level 1 day 6!!! Woo hoo!!! Tomorrow is my rest day!

bump for later

Just finished day 5! Going to do day 6 tomorrow& then Sunday is going to be my rest day!!

Well I just finished day 4!!! A" tiny" bit easier today! But I'm disappointed in myself, we had a small get together lunch at work and tonight it's pizza night and I went over my calories BIG time :grumble: I just need to do better tomorrow! Dwelling on today isn't going to change anything...Just stay focused& positive!!!

Thank you for sharing! Definitely interested in this! :)

Shelled- If your talking about the lunges with bicep curls, you are suppose to keep your front knee stable and do NOT bend over your toes leaving it at a 90 degree angle. The back leg you are suppose to just lift straight up & down getting as close to the ground with your knee as you can without hurting yourself. Hope that…

Well I got day 3 done! Side lunges with arm raises still tough! But I refuse to give up!! :tongue:

my arms and calves are sore today. I have to do my Day 3 after work today. Had to be at work extra early today so not enough time this morning. Hope I can get through it. I'm seem to have less um-ph in the evenings AND my muscles are sore!!! :tongue:

Level 1 Day 2 done!! My arms are pretty sore! They were this morning when I got up but I pushed through!! :)

Level 1 Day 2 done...man my arms are sore from yesterday but I pushed through this morning!! :) I did have to decrease my weights. Yesterday I did 7 pd dumbells during all but the side lunge/arm raises I had to do 3pd dumbells. Today I did squat/overhead presses and chest flys with 8pd dumbells and did side lung/arm raises…

Level 1 Day 1 here!

I started 30 DS today also. I used a HRM watch (cheap) but it said I burned 216 calories. I plan to do it 6 days a week. My stats are: CW- 202 BF-44% We can do this!!:happy:

I'm just starting out& can only lift 15 pd dumbbells. Except lateral raises I can only do 7 pd dumbbells(my 3&4pd dumbbells together). Is that not enough? Most of the exercises I have to really push to complete the 2nd set of reps.

Will do, thanks!! :smile:

Thanks! I do the TDEE -20% and then on my days that I don't do body weight exercises I do cardio. Usually brisk walk on treadmill at home. I do alternate that too, meaning, I do just walk some times, do uphill, intervals, mountain climb. I switch that up too!! So hopefully that will work!!:flowerforyou:

:) Will do!! Thanks!

Yes, yes, yes. Just google "body weight workout" and you'll find a myriad of workout routines and exercises that'll let you get a total body workout without a single piece of equipment. :) [/quote] I'm doing Body by you which is body weight, is this just as effective? I don't have the money for a gym membership or money to…

Anyone doing body by you?:smile:

Your results are amazing!! Great job!!

Thank you all! I appreciate your help. I will look into a more accurate method! :smile:

So should I be Netting my BMR or just consuming BMR? I've noticed the last week I've been eating about 1600 calories but only netting about 1290-1400.

Any help would be appreciated! :smile:

I am drinking 64oz of water a day. I do drink a cup of coffee w/sugar free creamer only in the morning and sometimes a cup in the evening to stay away from sweets. I don't have anything to measure my BF%. I do my food diary. Like I say, most days I'm unable to eat my "exercise" calories. All of them anyway. I usually have…

Thank you all for your encouragement. I do feel like some of my clothes fit loose. I have coworkers and family that tell me often that I'm looking great. My husband just recently told me he could see some definition in my arms. :) I just can't imagine how that is possible if no inches or weight is coming off. But I guess…

**Also, the past month I have worked out 5 days a week, sometimes 6. So I no longer go only 4 days a week at all. Always at least 5!!
