I wouldn't count diet soda. I wouldn't count diet soda as anything but crap, but that's just my opinion. I use propel zero. i use one packet in 24oz of water.

I take 800mg ibuprophen and try to push through. I skipped yesterday because the first day has a way of kicking my butt straight to the couch. making up for it today. hope you can get some relief!

I turned my den into a gym pretty much. weights, bands, a heavy bag, yoga mat, turbofire, p90x, insanity, and some JM workouts. I'm doing turbofire now and my husband is doing insanity and he works out at the gym 3 times a week. I don't mid the gym, but it's not close to the house and i have 3 kids so it's hard to find…

I always did cardio, weights, and then cardio again. the first bit of cardio warmed me up for the weights and the 2nd round of cardio went right into cooling down.

I said that couple months ago. I literally said, "eh, I'll just be fat. who cares?" gotta get out of that mindset!! great job walking to the post office! knocked out one workout, I will do the other this evening. I'm fighting a case of couch potato syndrome this afternoon. I did great this morning and now i'm just so…

I used to do Biggest Loser and dance central. Now I just play for fun, I don't log them as workouts because I figure it's just bonus! LOL it is fun though! I love a good 'kinect party'! love battling in dance central! I'm excited for my kids to get out of school for summer vacation so I have someone to play it with during…

I didn't work out yesterday. FIrst day of my period always knocks me down hard. doing a double today to make up for it. I didn't much of anything that was really good. even had pizza for dinner because I spent 90% of the day on the couch. today is a new day though! I wish I could go for a bike ride! I sold my bike and…

same here, I'm thinking of getting the FitBit. its kind of the same thing but it's only $100 and no registration. it tracks your sleep patterns and everything! I think it's way cooler than the BB!

189! one pound down, hopefully I broke the plateau and can keep losing!

yeah, i stay close to 1800 now. i didn't even think about the 200 calorie catchall! i had forgotten about that until yesterday actually. I've been so tired and stuff that I actually took a 2 hour nap yesterday and knew something wasn't right! Good luck!

I'm 5'9 and my goal is 140ish. I'm currently at 190.

listen to your body. are you tired? grumpy? still able to push hard during workouts? if not, then just hydrate and ride it out. either you plateau, or you keep losing!

I would stick with a 500 calorie deficit. maybe a little higher, I had mine at 800 which is roughly losing a pound a half a week. in theory, that's what it should be! LOL everyone is different though, some do fine with a 1000 calorie diet, or if you're like me you need to eat to lose weight!

"the ashes of a cremated human." OMG.

I was only eating 1300 calories a day, TF said I should eat around 2000. I lost about 5 pounds the first week and then haven't lost more. I'm bumping my back up to about 1800 because i'm afraid I'm in starvation mode right now. I'm coming up on week 4 of TF so in a little over a week I will take my measurements and weigh…

If it goes in my body, I log it. it has helped me catch on to where the extra calories are hiding! I log sleep, workouts, keep a to do list! if i don't stay organized I will fail.

so far so good today! ate good, pushed super hard through Fire 45 this morning and then hung out and watched TV with the husband all afternoon! everyone is doing great! I'm hoping i'm down at least a pound tomorrow! need to break this plateau!

Good for you!

thats a great run! my husband runs all the time and I've done every home workout there is and never stuck with any of them so he is just waiting for me to quit. I can't wait to finish and then run a 5k with him! he doesn't discourage me, I can just tell that he's expecting any day now to come home to me on the couch with a…

2 tbs of natural peanut butter! easy way to get protein and use a few calories!

MFP already has a defecit set in your calorie limit. eat those calories back or you WILL plateau. there are many threads and posts about it. just do a search.

Thanks guys! yall are all doing awesome! I love my heart rate monitor! I'm trying to lose about 40 pounds. I'm at 190 right now and I'm 5'9 so 150 is my first goal. after that I will play it by ear, I'm thinking 135-145 for my ultimate goal! I was going through my TurboFire books agaian last night and saw where the program…

I'm sticking to it! Today is my rest day but I did a bonus workout I got with TurboFire. It's chalean extreme burn circuit one. Turbo doesn't have a lot of resistance and I'm missing it so it's perfect that I got the bonus workout and don't have to go back to P90X for weights! I think I put myself in starvation mode. I…

Hope everyone is having a great day! I've been stuck between 190-192 for a week or so now. When I first started TurboFire, I dropped 4 pounds the first week. I'm trying to remind myself that I didn't gain all this weight overnight and I can't lose it that way either. It's just frustrating sometimes to see the scale not…

I agree that maybe trying to get to 1200 isn't a good idea right now. your body will take care of your milk first and if that means holding onto fat stores, you may need to keep your calories higher than 1200. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? When I was nursing I ate when I was hungry, drank to thirst, and I lost…

I agree with everyone else, just make sure you are eating enough and listen to your body. :)

my calves are big too! hate it.

I don't really want super skinny thighs, I just want what I have to be toned again!!

Oh i hate having to buy jeans to fit my thighs just to find that they are huge around the waist!! I have a pretty flat stomach but i have a big booty and thighs to match, so they are always gapping!!

personally, I like my Sportline 925W after researching both the polar FT4 and the SL 925W the sportline just works better for me.
