It means you are only eating 1000 calories which is not enough to feed your body. In order to keep your body fueled properly, you should eat back your exercise calories. I find it interesting some people try to loose weight with just reducing calories. It has to be a complete life balance of all things considered with…

You need to change up your exercise routine. Maybe add hand weights. Your body will eventually settle into a routine and come to stand still if you don't keep shocking it. Congrats on loosing 20+ lbs.

You will be aware of muscles you didn't know you had!

Keep doing what the instructor tells you to do. Eventually you will get better. I am amazed how far I have come and look forward to getting better. I remember when I could barely do a push up. My upper body strength has improved.

You are going to have a LOVE/HATE relationship with TRX. I am on my second class and can see body changing results. My weight has stayed the same as I believe I am building more muscle than loosing fat. Which can be frustrating. I figured out that I could use "Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort" as the…

I am sure I would loose more if I cut out my alcohol.

I drink way more than that on a nightly basis (gee that sounds bad). I workout 5 days a week and try to keep at 1600-1800 calories per day. Have been loosing steadily since start of Jan 3. You might need to start working out harder and/or change your routine.

Half ruby red grapefruit and toast (brownberry natural 100% whole wheat bread) with 1 tbsp of Kroger - neufchatel cheese (less calories than cream cheese and tastes the same), and coffee (black). Total 209 calories - 35 carbs - 5 fat - 7 protein - 323 sodium (240 mgs from bread) - 10 chol. Sticks with me until snack and/or…

1 cup cauliflower (steamed), 1 can tuna in water, 1 scallion, 1/2 asian pear, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, fresh gound pepper. Voila! 300 calories.

Thanks...that makes it much easier than putting in every exercise and not have it calculate. : )

Kursejohn = John is my first name. My last name starts with the letter K. In my family, all our weight goes to the belly which is a curse! Change the c in curse to k.

Steamed is great and very simple. Broiled in the oven with olive oil and balsamic and sea salt is also tasty. And lastly, raw is also great, especially in a salad or just eaten alone.

Make your own dressings. It's simple and satisfying. You control the ingredients. I also feel, if you have one indulgence that you will allow yourself to have, then have it. It is only dressing!

I feel your pain. I started on Jan 3rd and haven't lost a pound yet. Today is my weigh-in day...keeping fingers crossed. Good Luck!
