i'm doing POWER30 atm, I do have P90X but i'm gonna wait until the spring when i'm done this one ;)

You can also use real fruit juice with lactose-free protein powder :)

the HRM on those machines are really not accurate....you would do better if you got a personnal one ;) JF

I like to have smoothies, just keep different kind of frozen fruits, mix them up...add an egg, any kind of yogurt and real fruit juice! You can also add protein powder, Orange creamcicle is a personnal favorite of mine!! And with having a few diferent kind of fruits the possibilities are endless for variety! you can even…

one time I told my 5 yo that it was ok to pee in the shower if he couldn't hold it anylonger......I'll let you guess the rest!!

okiedoo... 268.5 today and feeling AWSOME!!

WOW!! What results!!! I decided to change my life instead of dieting too, what a difference in perceptions huh? Good luck for the year to come! your 1/2 way there WOW!

You can do it! and here people are super suportive, dont be afraid to let them know when you feel discouraged or if you have any questions!! JF

THX a lot, once again you make sense of it all for me ;)

I have a question... How much TV do you watch? I find that when I watch TV I get hungrier so I almost stopped watching it (I mean cmon! A guy needs to watch the news + lost and survivor are back on this week!!). Since I started readin and playing XBox more my extra snacking went to 0!!

ok I looked into it, just to confirm, it's 55%/25%/20% right?

thanks a bunch! I do train minimum 30 min a day (I'm on POWER90 and I do taekwondo) so i'll be looking into that! JF

there's part of the problem right there, you're suppose to eat those to, your defficit is precalculated on this site. It's also about what you eat at what moment, I usualy have some fruits and veggies as part of my meal BEFORE i train (at least 1 hr, no more than 2) and I'll have my carbs right after as part of my snack…

I love red wine, but if it's just the antioxidants your looking for, you can have real grape juice and green tea instead! If your realy looking for a good red wine you might wanna try zinfandel....

Hey Crazy Canucks!! (funny I just watched that movie last night^^) May I join your group? I'm burning fat like lcrazy in Halifax doing Power90 (not brave enough for P90X yet!!) and Taekwondo and watching what I eat. My wife is in this with me and it's going awsomely good, i've lost about 15 lbs in the las 3-4 weeks and…

Banks! if you have a minute, would you please take a look at my food diary and tell me how far I am off track.....this is all new to me! I used to eat more calories for breakfast than I do now in a whole day!! lol

Bumping

Thanks for all the good advice!!, I will try to eat bigger breakfast!

Good luck! This site is great! JF

OMG! ok I'll try to clean up my SECOND LANGUAGE grammar and spelling lol

hehe! we call those "trucker's crunchs" around here

I do Power 90 6 days a week (sculpt 25 mins, Cardio-abs 43 mins) and I do taekwon-do 2-3 night a week...I must admit the days I do both I can burn up tp 1200 calories and I must say I have a hard time eating all those back lol!!

i'm on 6pm to 6 am shifts and it sucks.....I switch things around, i'll have berakfast, then lunch right after (3 hours), then snack-supper-snack.....it's way easier for me to do it that way since I dont like to eat a big supper in the muddle of the night! I find it harder for working out, i'm usualy at my best in the…

That was me too! But the big difference this time is that I dont only wanna loose weight, i'm doing a complete life change! I am still reaaly motivated after 3 weeks, as for the low evergy today, going back on my food diary I noticed that I didn't had my greens or my fruits yet big mistake!! It's really about what you eat…

Remember that MPF gives you an automatic defficit, I think it's 1000calories for 1lbs a week or something like that

Just what I was gonna say! For a majority of us it's bad lifestyle choices that got us where we are now, so to be healthy we can't just go on a diet for a little while and then go back to our old life style...we need to make significant PERMANENT changes in our habits good luck all JF

hey Caramel! I started the same way as you, lloking for a calorie counter on my i-phone ;) the way to here is that you log all your info, and it gives you a calorie goal for the day (you probably had that figured out already^^) On the site, you log your exercises too, and that will raise your calorie goal for the day...I…

I'm loosing my MANBOOBS what can be better than that!! lol Keep it up ladies!! J

I'm no expert but I know that you dont wanna go under 1200 calories....maybe your not taking ENOUGH calories instead and you boddy beeing in starvation mode stores the fat instead of burning it....

GOOD JOB!! i haven't graduated to P90X yet (got in in my bookshelf!!), i'm in my 3rd week of Power90 and it's like i'm rinning out of juice altaugh I do eat all my calories...maybe night shift is getting to me....
