  • [/quote] I did MFP's 1200 + exercise calories for only about 2 weeks and I kept reading forum posts about eating more and it made sense, plus I was hungry sometimes. So a friend said to never eat below BMR. So I changed my cals to BMR ~1680. But then i got scared. I recalculated BMR based on a lower weight (I have no idea…

  • Hi Jessica, so I did the workout yesterday and this morning .... so that I am currently on day 2 week 3 ... It was hard but I didn't feel the cardio was as challenging as week 2.... but those bear crawls and duck walks really kicked my butt... I think the work out also kicked my cold's butt because i feel better today!!!!…

  • Hey ... great job!!!! how bad was it???? I am asking specifically because I have a bit of a cold.... and dont want to miss the work out, specially because it takes me a while to get over this kind of things and that would mean having to start all over from week 1.... what's your take on it.... is it doable with a cold???
    in Wk 3 Comment by martha1485 February 2013
  • great job!!!! i also finished day 6 week 2 yesterday and felt fabulous.... thought about measuring today an posting but I am down with a cold and will try to do so tomorrow.....

  • I guess not!!!! But I do think there are few of us on week 2... specially considering most of the group aimed to start on february 1st.... it's great you have been able to keep up with the cardio for me it is virtually impossible specially in the plank position I always feel I am about to throw up.... yum right ... well I…
