I answered it too lol

Agree! Also measure yourself because it's more accurate. I measure myself every day but need to stop as well! I lost quite a bit if weight after I had my daughter (the first 8m or so) and the last year I've only lost 10lbs. But I've lost 3in from my stomach and 1in from my upper thighs in the last 45 days so I track inches…

Not hot yet but working on it! I get up early(around 6am) before my 20 month old daughter wakes up and do p90x with hubby. Then during her afternoon nap I do my extra leg & butt exercises every other day. Some days I add an extra cardio session. We eat healthy food as well. I clean, cook, and run after my toddler so not…

Can you cancel the gm membership card and get a new one? Also, identity theft is when someone steals your social security number and applies for loans, cars, houses etc pretending to be you. This is a case of credit/debit card theft. Your credit card company at least will have protection against it if not your bank. I used…

I always wondered why people said there was no such thing as starvation mode because there clearly is. I didnt know so much detail about the stages tho

When I used to go, I would just put on some mascara and eyeliner. Now I workout at home so no.

If you don't have a heart rate monitor, go to www.p90xcalories.com it's as accurate as you can be really without a HRM. Just make sure you keep track of how hard your working during the workout :) Edit: then use that info to create your own exercise on mfp

Not maintaining but I've been steadilly losing weight for 2 years now. I'm 5' 6" and was about 145lbs before I got pregnant, 205lbs when I gave birth dec 2010, and now I'm 123lbs. I actually lost 4lbs over christmas last year :)

Drinking plenty of water also helps you not retain as much water because your body won't hold onto so much if it knows you regularly drink a lot. Its good for you and calorie free so why not drink more. Plus, caffeinated drinks dehydrate you so try and start small by adding just one or two more cups per day and go from…

I wouldn't be too concerned about your boobs. They are fat but wouldn't change that much with 30lbs. I used to be around 145lbs before having my daughter. I'm now 123lbs 5' 6" and I'm in the same cup size, the band has changed from a 32 to a 30 tho so they are slightly smaller but not massively so. I agree with other…

But doesn't that kind of prove your point a. You eat breakfast which gets your metabolism going therefore making you hungry sooner after that. I never used to eat breakfast but since I started about 8 months ago I've felt more energetic, make better food choices throughout the day, and have lost weight. I eat a small meal…

Eat something lighter, drink one glass of water and wait an hour before exercising. I exercise first thing in the morning before breakfast and it works well for me. Also, don't drink so much water during you workout. I'm surprised you haven't cramped up to be honest. Just take a few little sips and dink a glass or two…

No, when I was bigger my thighs rubbed like crazy and it hurt. When I started losing weight and my thighs got smaller, but were still touching, it didn't hurt at all anymore. Im a bit pear shaped so my thighs were massive and really pushing into each other which is what hurt

I'm 5' 5.5" and I weigh 123lbs. Estimated body fat 20%. 23 years old with a 20 month old daughter. I have small bones and look good (I think lol) I am also a bit pear shaped. I'm pretty much at my goal weight I jus want to lose a couple of inches in my upper thighs, get rid of some belly fat and build sone muscle. You can…

[/quote] Thats a lot of working out!! Good for you!! You are clearly working out 6 days a week as you said. If so, you are very active (5-6 days a week) and should be using that TDEE minus 20% = total calories consumed each day. If you are going to change the activity level, then adjust accordingly. As long as you are…

You're BMR is what it would be if you stay in bed all day. Although I do agree with your point about what if I miss a day

I follow the schedule. It says to do it every day and one of those days is a rest day/stretching day. My average week looks something like this: Monday- core synergistics Tuesday- cardio x Wednesday- chest, shoulders & triceps, ab ripper X (depending on what week you're on it changes but it's strength training) Thursday-…

Thanks so much! I've been on here for ages and never knew about this stuff until I started reading forum posts

Ok, so it asks for how active I am (sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, etc) and not sure what to put. I do p90x 6 days a week and one day I do stretching. Sometimes I do 2 p90x work outs but that's only like 2x per week. I'm a stay at home mom with an active 20 month old and I clean, cook etc. some tv watching…

Ok thanks!

Thanks, I was actually just reading that but unless I overlooked it, I couldn't find where it told you how to calculate it

Hahahaha love it!

Awwww, I admire all people that have the strength and determination to start their fitness journey! After all, most if us haven't always been as healthy as we want to be :)

Congrats!! That's so great!!! :D

Thanks! I do legs and back and add plyo in addition to what I'm supposed to do a few times per week. I definitely give legs and back my all and am at least 90 degrees or below in all the squats, wall sits, chair pose, etc. I'm planning on doing doubles next :) I wanted to do lean first to burn some initial fat which has…

OMG!! Amazing looks so yummy

I agree. I've felt down before and sometime I think "why bother with exercising if I just keep looking the same" but exercising ALWAYS makes me feel better about myself and better in general. It's ok if I don't look how I want as long as I'm doing stuff to change it. Keep eating healthy foods and keep exercising. You look…

Burn fat all over. Interval training or HIIT is really good, pushups, lifting weights. Hubby and I do p90x it's amazing and will sort you right out :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one (although you look great) I've always had problems with my upper outer thighs and butt. They are WAY smaller since I started working out over a year ago but still flabby and gross. I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy additional DVDs since p90x is amazing but I just might have to if I don't…
