  • I lift weights every other day and do HIIT training opposite days from that. I still have some weight to loose but the weight training has definitely increased my definition and ability to eat more. I do Les Mills Pump, as heavy as I can make it for 1 hour and I sweat just as much, or even more then I do with the cardio…
  • Have your thyroid function/levels tested. Intolerance to temperatures and feeling cold is one of the symptoms of Hypothyroidism.
  • Im not much for advice but rather sitting in the seat on the bus next to you. I did Insanity, P90X, The Asylum, Les Mill Combat, les Mills Pump and now doing turbofire. No weight loss AT ALL. Put wt on as a matter of fact but did loose inches. I think those at home workout infomercials truly are all BS. Many people who…
  • sorry, I got annoyed with logging everything and just do it in a notebook because sometimes I cant get to the computer.
  • you can loose 250 lbs in 1 day by DROPPING THE BOYFRIEND, instant success!
  • Breakfast is my biggest meal. I eat my dinner the night before by 6pm so I am STARVING by 6 am. 6-8 egg whites with Ham and cheese a WW Bagel with WW Cream Cheese. MMMMMMMMMM
  • Im trying to get to my original weight of 7lbs 8 ounces but then I would have to lop off everything but my head. then I would not be able to get to the fridge anyway to eat since I am just a head.
  • im sitting on that bus right next to you friend. ive contemplated chopping off a limb to see the scale go down. course then I'd have a problem lifting the barbell or doing the actual jumping jack.
  • Thank you! you have inspired me again. I too have been struggling with the 1200 calorie diet. I beat myself up 7 days a week in a gym for 60-90 minutes with absolutely no wt loss and even a few lbs gain. I have been rolling the TDEE theory over and over in my head too and you have inspired me to in fact eat more and stop…
  • has anyone experienced this. I try very hard to eat either high fiber cereal for breakfast or egg whites with veggies. I have chicken and veggies for lunch and either chicken or egg whites for dinner. I know I don't hit my TDEE calorie goal and that's probably what my Non weight loss problem is but after every meal,…
  • no kids, (they scare me) every other time of day I have a usually comfortable belly. its just right after I eat and for a few hours more
  • Im riding that slow bus as well. I loose maybe a pound a week then gain1 then loose one then gain one. I don't think its possible for me to exercise more. I am in a gym 7 days a week for 90 minutes. I think my issue is I don't reach my calorie goal. The idea of eating more to lose weight still stops me cold even though I…
  • I have Hypo. I exercise like a beast and don't loose at all (2 hrs daily cardio and 4 days weekly weight training). Its extremely frustrating. I wish I could know its the HYPO or if Im just a loser. If you find the answers, Im sure interested.
  • Im right there with ya. WAY DOWN on the motivational bus right now. I literally work my butt off 7x a week in the gym. I eat 1200 calories a day, I don't eat back exercise calories and I am losing NOTHING! its beyond frustrating and disappointing to get slapped in the face when I get on the scale and I, in return, punish…
  • I felt bloated IMMEDIATELY after eating a low carb high protein diet. A few days ago I cut back on the high protein and added more carbs. I noticed a difference after the first meal. I was doing eggs/egg beeters with turkey sausage for breakfast every day for weeks and BAM right after I was finished I fealt my stomach blow…
  • I didn't claim to build 15 pounds of muscle. I said my scale went up but my clothes size went down.
  • Thank you all, I am happy I fit into smaller clothes, Im just old school and in my warped mind I wish I could see the scale say what my clothes say. I am (gulp) middle aged now so I guess having more muscle tissue is a great thing. I am proud of seeing those cuts on my arms and having that line down the side of my leg but…
  • I can whole hardily say Les Mills Pump (beachbody.com) was the best beginners weight lifting program I found. I started it in October 2012 and it fully explains everything you should do to build lean strong muscles. I LOVE it and still get results by using more weights.
  • I did 3 cycles of Insanity. I HATED the warm-up but did push myself every day. While my endurance did improve, I didn't feel I got the changes that were hyped on the infomercials. I have done P90x, Turbojam, and now I am on my 3rd cycle of a hybrid of Les Mills Pump and Les Mills Combat. I LOVE THEM! I never before did…
  • Thank you ALL. You have helped and guided me tremendously. It is VERY dull to eat a turkey burger and leave the bun on the plate. Especially because they put it on the grill and its got that light crusty exterior (ACK im salivating) and I always have a hard time hitting the calorie goal but eating carbs will help me with…
  • 5 feet here too. currently 127, want to be 117-115. no idea how many calories I should be eating, I exercise ALLOT and find it hard to get allot of food in, just not hungry. I lift weights and do combat cardio 6 days a week.
  • OMG Thank you for this post. I am experiencing the same thing. I do Les Mills Combat and Les Mills Pump classes 6 days a week with almost no weight loss. I take Fridays off from exercising just for a physical break because I am physically hurting and tired. On the morning after I don't work out, I have always dropped at…
  • Thank you both for the welcome and encouragement. I do beat myself up, DAILY. its sometimes so frustrating to do 99% correct and that 1% just throws you in the crapper. I guess all I can do is wake up every day and do my best.
