Okay I am still lost. Please hold with me. I used the chart. I don't know what info to post so I'll put what it in the daily spot check and info box: Daily Goal Calories : 2148 Workout Calories: 500 Real Net: 1648 BMR Current Weight : 1438 Net above BMR: 210 Like I said before I am 5'8 169lbs and aiming for 150-155. I used…

I love seeing your posts :) Im going to friend you!

Ive tried doing this and get so lost. Anyone able to help? I am 27 5'8 Currently 169lbs Goal 150-155 I am a stay at home mom to 3 and walk every day 1-3 times a day for 30 minutes each time at a brisk pace. Ive also been doing the 30 day shred for the past few weeks but dont want to factor that in as i dont know how long…

Thanks guys! My MIL does the Leslie DVD's and loves them. I am going to check them out but prefer being outside. SashaJane, how far/fast do you go each day?

I don't have a lot of weight left to lose...15lbs or so. I want to lose that though but also focus on strength and toning. Not sure walking alone will work though. hmmm...

None is Colorado Springs a few weeks back either, got it on Amazon :)

I think thats part of why I am feeling down. There are some that no matter how hard I try I can't even do halfway. Like the "superman" one and then the ab part of circuit 3....just can not get them done no matter how hard I try.

I really needed your story today...thank you :) I couldn't think of a better memory to take away from Hawaii. You found the new you while you were there. Congrats!

Can you tell me how much the program was total? I keep getting the run around when looking into buying the package and I don't want to do any of the "try for the low price of $14" gimmicks.

We should do a motivational pics thread with sitting not standing pics. You never see those. I agree these days photoshop would work its magic and those of us real women with pouches would feel even worse.

Love this thread keep it up.

Oatmeal is great and you can add lots of different things to it to change it around. I agree, more veggies. How about hard boiled eggs? I think ( and im guessing not knowing you ) but youre drinking a lot of water and your giving yourself the illusion that your full or not hungry after working out due to this when your…

I would pay some mind to your net,yes. It looks like your working out a fair amount but not refueliing your body for the amount of work youre putting in. Judging from your diary you seem to be scraping by on tbe bare minimums and that works for a while but you'll play out sooner or later. Are you hungry throughout the day?

LOVE it! Thanks for the reminder :) I think i just need to stop nit picking my body apart!

So glad im not alone! I just wish when i sat down in the car or a chair it would contain itself :)

First, i think those numbers are great and you really shouldnt try to lose much more than that a week but i peeked at your diary and have you considered eating more? Looks to me like youre having way too many leftover calories from a quick glance. You need to fuel your body so it can work for you :)

Right?! Haha i could suck it in and pass out and it would still be there when im sitting because " sucking it in" doesnt help at all! I think whomever commented about the loose skin is on to something. Ive noticed that now moreso than before my 3 nine pound + babies its a problem. My hubby is tall and lean and doesnt have…

how tall are you katie133? Great job!

thanks!

Amazing work! How tall are you?

Colorado Springs here! Wish it were BV ;)

thank you!

Yep :) If you could help please. I entered by TDEE which is 2443 weekly maintenance need is 17101 weekly intake is 10825 deficit is 6276 That deficit seems high to me...any advice on how to calculate the appropriate target deficit?

i

Okay, so I just used the calculator you provided (thanks!) but now I am even more confused. I am for 1620 a day plus at least part if not all of my exercise calories so I aim total for about 1840 each day. When I just plugged my numbers in to the calculator with my TDEE it says my daily average is 1546, my weekly need is…

BTW, depending on your weight now, body type etc. If you're exclusively breastfeeding you need to be at or above 2000 for now. I wouldn't go below 2000 at all and would suggest even a tad higher. Your body needs the calories to make the milk :)

I always get confused with the "net" calories. I am supposed to eat about 1640 a day then I factor in the 210 or so I get from exercise so I'm at about 1850 with that. Since I am only nursing 3-4 times a day now (long durations, but still) I don't count in my BF calories and add them too but I would imagine it would be…

thanks ladies! I'll check this all out

Any advice?
