I was thinking high sugar as well where you would be eating it twice a day. I think it is classified as high on the GI scale so I can't see how it would be good for you. Anyone try the Activa one?

What is boots? Are you wearing the same clothing, same day of the time and week? If not that might be why the numbers are different. You should also always measure on the same scale. Place one some where in the house and leave it there. You shouldn't be moving or using different scales.

You can freeze lots of things and have it later. I make lasagna, meet sauce, sloppy joe, scrambled hamburger, chicken breast and so on.

It is not even a once in a while thing. I drink water with lemon juice in it all day long. I never had this hungry all the time feel since my first week. I pretty much eat the same meals so there shouldn't be much difference that way. I meet my protein goal and calorie goal so I don't get why I am so much hungry this week.

I would even just more strength. It is getting a little hard though seeing numbers. I gained 3lbs when I weighed in last monday. I wish I had of taken measurements. It seems weird to gain 3lbs of muscle/water retention so my mind goes to fat.

my fitness game is the gold gym game

There is a game called Gold's Gym Cardio and My Fitness Coach Cardio. They are both the same game just different name depending on where you live. I really like it. It teaches you all the moves threw levels. It is a shadow boxing game. Wii sports also has a boxing game. Wii Fit has a rhythm boxing option as well. I think…

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I started trying to alternate from upper body and lower body. I am also going to try to do some squats, lunges and those type of things. Anyone have an idea on how long it will take me to build muscle?

I am not afraid to lift weights. I just know there is a difference in they way you do it to build bulk and build endurance. I just want to know as a female what is the best way for me to maximize my time and define my muscles while losing body fat. It just never seems building muscle works for me.

I will have to pick up the book :)

Thanks so much for all of the advice and input, specially from you TrainerRobin

Thank you all so much for the input and advice.

Your right dracobaby82 I do not want to be flabby skinny but I just do not know what the best way to go about it is. I also don't want all of my fat to turn into muscle.

I did the same thing you did. I bumped up my work out,at 1200cals but started to eat some back, did some strength training and yet I gained 3lbs. I still want to cry about it.

Well if he wants to put on weight you should figure out what his calorie intake would be to maintain weight. Then he should eat more calories then that number to gain. What might be a good idea is for him to lift weights and gain muscle mass. Meal replacements would be good for him as a snack threw out the day but not to…

How often should you have a protein shake? How much protein should you have? Is it ok to go over the default protein number? Do you only have it on days you do weights?

Thanks for the encouragement ShrinkinMel

Thanks for all of the suggestion, keep them coming :)

Thanks krm0789

What equipment is required to do the video? Do you need to weights or anything special?

Thanks for the recommendation. I will have to go get a copy. I just picked up the biggest loser games for the wii so I will have to try out the dvd.

Well I switched all my bread and pasta types to whole wheat. I picked up the healthier options to the foods I now eat. Regular chicken burgers instead of the breaded kind, light salad dressing instead of the normal and so on. As far as what fruits are in season, you really need to pay attention to the prices at your…

I am with you. The only thing I can say is watch tv or listen to music while you do it. I also like to try to mix mine up with a wii shadow boxing game called Gold's Gym Cardio Workout.

I have tried and really liked them. They can help you lose weight and tone but you also have to use it to your advantage. You have to change your eating. I also recommend to maximize the machine set up a work out routine. Use the machine for calves stretches, lunges, push ups and so on.

I know how you feel. Everyone keeps telling me it is not healthy to lose more then 2lbs (0.91 kelos I think) in a week. I have also been told if you take it off to fast your more likely to put it back on. But the truth is it is frustrating to feel like you are working your butt off for small numbers. Feel free to add me…

That is a very good question that I am unsure the answer of. However I would like to say you must remember to get a full 8hrs of sleep to let your body rest and recover.

The number that MFP gives you already takes into account the difference you need to maintain your weight and the lower number you need to lose. According to this site your weight loss does not depend on working out. So when you do work out it looks like you are having too little calories because anything less then 1200 is…

Oh how I do not miss school. What is she interested in? She must have hobbies she can base a project around.
