  • I have done HIIT workouts! I did/do the Turbo Fire workouts by Chalene Johnson which incorporate HIIT training, and it is the ONLY time I have ever lost belly fat through an exercise program. It got me back to the body I had when I was in middle school and swam 7 days a week for hours a day. I highly recommend it. Thanks…
  • I too am experiencing weight gain after going off of birth control. How long did your weight gain last and other side effects last? Did everything eventually go back to normal? It's been about a month, and I've gain about 6 pounds. I'm still exercising and eating the same, so it has to be the effects of stopping birth…
  • I'm in the same boat as you! I'm 5'0" and have been fluctuating between 116 - 114 with a goal of 110 and ultimately 105. How many cals are you eating? Do you eat back your exercise cals? I just started eating close to 1000 - 1200 and not eating back my exercise cals. It seems to be working. The scale read 113 this morning.…
  • Hi! Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the suggestion of lowering my cals and not eating back my exercise cals. I've been doing TF and the program stresses that you get enough fuel. I think I've been over fueling though! I'm going to try to not eat back exercise cals and see if that does the trick! Continuously tweaking to…
  • How were/are you able to keep the momentum going to keep losing? I'm stuck right now. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it!
  • Hi All! I'd like to join in :) I'm 5'0" as well. I'm currently stuck at 114.6 and would love to lose about 5 - 10 lbs by my wedding on 9/24/11. I have been eating my exercise calories back and have my cals at 1200, so I'm thinking I should shoot for closer to 1000/1100 and not eat back my exercise cals to hopefully break…
  • I have experienced this as well. I was doing WW for a long while. When they switched to the new program, I stopped losing and started maintaining. I then started to eat fewer points than what they gave me due to this. As a result, I did lose weight, but I believe I was also eating too few calories. I don't know how many…
  • I too LOVE sushi! I, like you, love the fattier rolls = specialty rolls. I love the blend of flavors that they have. Just like a good meal in a small bite size! However, not good for our waitlines. So, I lean towards ordering the majority of my meal as either maki rolls or nigiri. Once in awhile I'll have sashimi too which…

  • It depends on long I exercise and how many cals I burn that day. I try to eat back about half of my exercise cals which generally creates a deficit (including what MFP is already deducting) of around 500 give or take. My base amount of cals is 1200. I don't think 1300 - 1400 is too low. It depends on how many you burned…
  • Hi All! I want in on this group :) I'm 5'0" with 7 - 12 lbs that I'd still like to lose. I'd be satisfied with 110, but I'd really like to get to around 105 for my wedding in September ;) When I started my WLJ, I was doing WW. I then added P90 and lost about 10 lbs with that program. WW hasn't been working for me as well…
