MEDIC YOU'RE AWESOME ! Thanks for your reply. I am frustrated at less than 1/2lb a month, trying to get lean. 31% BF is NOT lean, and I have muscles layered in FAT. The more I read the more I see it will be a slower process for me, being small (and age 55) So I will be trying to hit the upper end of my TDEE (without going…

I keep reading & tweaking...but all calorie intake posts I read talk about a calorie deficit to lose and at the same time eating more to lose. I am so stuck on a plateau...Body weight 125 (30% fat-that's the issue!) I exercise 6X a week, using a HRM, alternating days of weights & cardio/hiit, burning an average of 300…

Kelly Coffey Meyer 30 minutes to fitness muscle definition available from Amazon. Two workouts that can also be combined. Mostly upper body and no abs. Slow & repetitive, no jumping around so you can go heavy. Yes collegevideo.com is very helpful.

I live in a condo with basic gym equipment (NICE!) Very annoying to find the bench in the middle of the room surrounded by 45 & 50lb weights...on the floor!! Please..if you can lift them, why not rerack them? And WE KNOW YOU DON'T WIPE YOUR SWEAT OFF THE BENCH...someday I will meet "that guy'' ! Maybe DNA testing for the…

I use a HRM and burn about 300 for the 2 60min classes n the Beach Body kit. I am in good cardio shape & weigh 125. Everyone is different. HRM is the best way to be consistent, but manufacturer's vary so do results. I like to say JUST DO IT !! Nike got it right! Kiiiyaaa...you can create your own exercises here & I log…

The baby..OMG how lucky are you??!!

JUST DO IT !! I have become increasingly frustrated with my efforts and my heart monitor. Nutritionally dense calories in, muscle building / cardio calories out! I can lift weights for 45 minutes & my HRM says I burned 150, I can run the same 45 & burn 400! But I know it's necessary to maintain & build muscle too.

If i RUN my *kitten* off,( heart rate over 160 ) for a 5K distance in 35 minutes I burn about 350. That's it ! I weigh 125 lbs. I recently ran a huge bridge 5K run and that was 450, but my heart rate was offthe map....When I do A Turbo Fire 45 I burn about 300 and when I do JM30DS I burn about 275. I wish I could eat more…

I have a timex HRM with a chest strap. Seems to work fine once I figured all the settings out !

The Firm is pretty good too...I would suggest go to beachbody.com or collagevideo.com to see reviews, segments, to pick your style...It's all good...JUST DO IT ! I also do yoga videos at home. I got so sick and tired of the gym, crowded classes on their schedule.

It's Timex and has the chest strap. I mostly wanted to see my heart rate to get an idea. And time my runs. Not all that serious, JUST DO IT ! Love that advice!

I like Turbo Fire, but it is a bit harder to learn, mostly kickboxing style. I also like Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

Used to go to the gym everynight after work.. I am in sales and the traffic is murder in my area, so I was always stressing over getting to 5:30pm or 6:30PM spinning or kickboxing, but the gym was 5 minutes from my house. I moved and now the closest classes are 30 minutes away. Last year I started P90X at 5am, and also…

Being an avid exerciser, a P90X Grad & Turbo Fire, I have been told over and over 48 hours between weight traing the same muscles & limiting HIIT to 3-4X a week. All that said, I am halfway through 30day Shred, loving it & doing it everyother day for a week (4X) In between I run and do a good hour of yoga, alternating…

I use P90X for weights, Turbo Fire (when it's not nice enough outside to run or bike, which is rare in Florida) and Baron Baptise Yoga. That about covers it ! I used to love The Firm, had a ton of VHS tapes, joined a gym for 5yrs. When I came back to home excercise, sold 30 tapes & a VHS player for $20 to a nice gal that…

I did find many chinese takeout meals listed by entering in the search box...today I had house special soup & was SHOCKED to see it was almost 800 cals. Should of put the wontons in the trash........So I had my lunch for dinner, romaine & turkey...and ran for 30min so I don't think I over did it. Buffets are evil.

One door closes and another one opens, but it's hell in the hallway....so glad you are out the front door. You look fabulous!! Best to you!

Medically there is nothing "wrong", just an old age metabolism slow down...When I was in my 20's & 30's I could eat & drink whatever I wanted & excercised moderatly. I just keep changing my diet and excercise every couple of weeks until I see a change. So far monitoring calories has worked, and eating healthy balanced…

Yes, I just did rest week #2 on P90X and I am allowing myself a cheat day/meal once a week too. And I still lost :-)

BEANS !! Added half a cup of black beans to dinner. :smile:

Trying to stay away from the bars & sugar...I was doing a more high protein, limited starchy carb, NO corn syrup diet for over a year with P90X, which is heavy weight training (plus I do interval sprints). I just can't seem to get lean, so I am trying to change up the diet (like P90X changes the muscle rotation) to a…
