This is my favorite comment of all time.

The thing here is that it's fine to have even the 2000 calorie piece of cake as long as its extremely rare in your diet and there is frequent exercise in your lifestyle. One of my fitness trainer friends has a diet example of what one can realistically eat and maintain their weight while burning 200 calories every other…

With p90x even the super fit people on the video are often pushed by the workout so it's not usually necessary for anyone trying to get back in shape to do more. Most people saying they need more are either have phenomenal strength and endurance already, are doing the exercises wrong or with low intensity, are doing the…

Y'know...I have to agree with Jillian Michaels a bit. You have to want that body more than you want anything else that stands in your way. I know it sounds crazy, but i still stare at some of the junk food in the store that used to be so comforting.....even though i know I'm going to walk on by! Because, when push comes to…

Look....I think this is an issue that begs for context. If you want protein shakes and you're doing any sort of workout during the day, I'm not sure that the few extra calories of using milk is going to change your trajectory. In my opinion, they taste significantly better, which of course means you're more likely to drink…

Please, listen to me very carefully! Do not give up! I don't even know you, but i know you can do this. the proof is that you're here, and that by joining this community, you've made a commitment to yourself. Losing weight is a result of an active, healthy, sustainable lifestyle. You've got to build or rebuild the…

You are absolutely stunning! What a tremendous accomplishment!

Yep...so far, so good 16 pounds in one month. P90x!

Whether shakeology is sustainable for people or not is sort of a red herring. But when making a complete lifestyle change, every bit of grease on the wheel helps. Shakeology kept me from needing to worry about everything at once, ata time when it's very easy to quit or just decide its all too hard.

I think it's so strange that shakeology gets such a bad rap around here.....as though its some sort of scam. Unless the label is a lie they obviously went out of heir way to pack it with a hell of a lot of nutrition - including leafy greens. I agree that you, at some point, must go back to normal food. but, as someone who…

I really don't like the negative tone toward a product that has worked for many, many people. I am in my second month of p90 x and used shakeology for my first few weeks. Having compared the content of the shake with other similar shakes, it beats most of them. And there is nothing wrong with new folks buying from a…

You have some options. Some people loose weight just following the basic calculation and eating back their calories. The problems come when someone overestimates their calories burned or underestimates their consumption! I'd say these are fairly common problems! Also, the person must make sure their baseline calorie…

THIS! One of the best parts of this journey so far was realizing that I don't actually have to be at war with hunger! If you don't eat some of the exercise calories back, don't you feel like you're starving??? There are reasons weight loss may slow if you eat the calories back...the biggest being that your body may…

In the early going this seems to be such a critical question. I absolutely believe that the science of calorie eat back is sound. But full eat back is probably only needed for those who are doing serious weightolifting. For me, I seem to get the healthy weight loss when I eat back about half the calories. I am a bit…

You were beautiful before and now you're star shines all the brighter! Congratulations!

Lovely back and even nicer neck!

I was wondering about this myself. I am totally a newbie, and a good chunk of my weight loss is probably water weight....But 14 lbs in, it does seem that caloric intake has been the bottom line for ME. I've eaten chick fil a (removing the top bun), ego waffles (with a drizzle of syrup), and lean cuisine, etc.... But as…

We're on the same page. As long as you are getting real results (stronger, less fat) and you're not overdoing the cholesterol an saturated I think there are many routes to health. I think it's when you stall short of your goal that its time to get more serious about the "rules."

All of the theories here are solid As a beginner, here's my two cents about what you might do. I only offer it, because a year ago I probably would have posted exactly as you did! I'd throw out all of your previous calculations and start over....Maybe even get some professional guidance. I had a false start in trying to…

I lost 10 pounds in two weeks and I believe it started the EXACT moment I stopped eating out for two meals a day!!!! Portion size control is so important....as is knowing the content of your meal. I'd guess I was averaging 700 calories per meal. Secondly, I cut out the junk snacks. Now that I understand much more about…

Hi, I'm brand spanking new around here but will add you and maybe some of the other folks as I have no friends!!!
