The general rule is make it to at least 1200 calories a day. Maybe you could add in some higher calorie but still healthy foods, like almonds or avocado or drink 8 oz of milk.

I would just have your profile updated at a "very active lifestyle".

I just ordered my first one today! I got the Polar FT1, it's a base model because I didn't need it to do much. Mainly, I just wanted something to count calories when I workout. I checked Ebay, Target, Walmart and Amazon and Amazon had the best deal at $53.00.

Send them to meeee! Haha

I do the same thing! I don't think there is anything wrong with it, at least I hope there isn't! You could eat other things for 300 calories and not get as many servings of veggies or not be as full.

I've been using a kickboxing video off Netflix. It's from 10 Minute Solutions and I do the whole video which is 55 minutes. I love it! I goes by so fast because I'm having so much fun with it! Good luck! keep it up

I was just reading HRM reviews!! I'd like to see what people have to say too

General consensus is under "circuit training"

You can usually find it for under 10 bucks, I'd say it's worth it. The reason I like it is because it's only 25 mins. It's challenging for me but I don't loss attention and focus and I don't get bored. It works for me :wink: Also, I use 8 lb weights

In theory, yes. I did it and was ready to move on after 11 or so days. Also, due to my bad wrists, I just skipped level 2 and went straight to level 3. 2 has a lot of push up position moves that I just couldn't do. I did it for about 2 weeks then moved on to other workouts, but just went bad to it the other day! It kicked…

when I wake up at 4am for work only to find that my lovely boyfriend had set the coffee on a timer and I have a fresh pot waiting for me!!

Gaining muscles? Eating enough calories? I'm going through the same thing. I work out 4 days a week and have only lost 11lb since January. But, I have lost inches. I look forward to seeing what anyone has to say :grumble:

I love that idea!! The snail is completely adorable too!!

If it's something that takes batteries, perhaps, it is recommended you use cheap ones (like from the dollar store) as to more burn up the.......er......motor :blushing:

Awesome! You both look much happier and I LOVE your red hair and his new do!

Yes! And let's just say I'm more ...........flexible now :blushing: :love:

holy cow!!! awesome job! :love:

I ALWAYS have a buddy with me. Misery loves company! :blushing:

Awesome job! I love that, "one"derland! haha. I weigh now what you did starting out. I would love to hear your workout routines!! Please share!

you might not be eating enough! try upping your calories a bit

Personally, I've never deprived myself of anything! Just focusing on will power, portions, moderation, and self control :drinker:

My brothers and sister and I call this the "carrot hunger"! It happens with apples too!

I think she was joking about the booze guys :drinker:

This site does not separate fruit sugars from white refined sugars.

I agree, eat more! Also, although you are under calories, the foods you are choosing aren't all that nutritious. Try more protein, whole grains, and veggies. You got this!

I just got done reading that article!! How funny! I forwarded it to my own workout buddy. I hope to take before and after pictures like those friends one day!

I did the first level for 10 days before being ready to move on. I skipped level 2 because its a lot of work in push up position and I have bad wrists. Also, if you are not using a heart rate monitor, many people track it as circuit training. It's an awesome workout! Best of luck

Abs are the only muscle group you can work every day. My favorite thing to do!!

try cauliflower mash. Just steam it and mash it like you would potato, it's super yummy!
