Keep it up sister! It gets easier I swear! Do what you can and you will be at level 3 in no time and looking and feeling great!

I'm on day 8 of level one right now, still loving it! I also log it as "circuit training". I love that it goes by so fast. I have the attention span of a 3 year old when it comes to working out, so this video has been perfect for me! Good luck fellow Shredders!

I concur, circuit training. I'm on day 6 right now. Although I hate Hate HATE it before and while I'm doing it, I LOVE it after! Looking forward to some awesome results!

I asked the same thing. I don't have a HRM yet so after reading other posts, I logged it as "circuit training". It might not to spot on but at least it gives me an idea. I'm on day 6, how about you?

Just finished day one!! Feels great! How do you all enter in the workout though??

I think it has to do with the caffeine, that's what dehydrates, So while I don't count my tea as water for the day, I do only drink decaf green tea (unsweetened of course)

Are you eating all you exercise calories back? Try that also eating lots of protein rich foods Hope this helps!

Go to the top to TOOLS, then go to BMI and calculate it for your own body.

Quit smoking AND start working out! Trust me, it can be done. I quit on Jan 1st this year and started my weight loss journey at the same time! It kicked my body into gear, being able to breathe when I worked out. I lost 22 lbs and have never picked up a cigarette again!! Good luck!!

Well thats just weird! and gross haha :laugh:

Maybe keep some 100 calorie treats in your desk so you can have a treat while choosing a "healthier" option. Will power!! You can do it :wink:

Fruit and milk sugar is different then refined sugar. I wish this site would be able to track the difference. As long as you are not eating chocolate and candy all day you should be fine!

I do the same thing, but with vodka and Talking Rain sparkling water. The vodka is about 50-60 calories and the water had no calories, carbs, sodium, or sugar!

My friends and I tried that veggie soup diet where you can eat as much of the soup as you want......but that's all you can eat for a WEEK! After about 4 days, I went berserk and ate an entire can of frosting while my friend was trying to pry if out of my hungry hungry hands!

My man friend also gives his underarms a buzz on a regular basis, but I can't really tell either way. It still looks manly but maintained. He leaves his chest and stomach hair which I find very sexy (especially the bit heading south :blushing: ) BUT he does grow a Tom 'Stach ever once in a while and I think it looks…

http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/orville-redenbacher/light-butter-popcorn/ I find popcorn very hard to figure out! Who eats unpopped popcorn?? I gave up and bought the 100 calorie bags :laugh:

I can never figure those things out! Who eat UNpopped popcorn?? I gave up and ended up buying smart pop 100 calorie bags of kettle corn, one bag = 100 calories period!

It's a running program called Couch to 5K, you can get the details on c25k.com

People usually say use the machine as long as you CAN enter your own height and weight, but I always just use the smaller number. Only because I don't want to overestimate and then end up eating over my calories. Have you tried using a heart rate monitor? That might be the most accurate way to count burned calories.

I think someones spying on me!!! haha

MFP says to enter the calories from the machine if possible but I agree that only enter it if you can manually put your height and weight into the machine!

Agree, watch your sodium and drink water water water! :drinker:

Diet and exercise, it's the only option for me anyway. I don't want to put unnecessary things in my body when I can accomplish the same results with diet and exercise, will power and dedication, hard work and sore muscles!!

I don't but I was wondering the same thing. I will check back and see what other people think

It happened to me! 8lb loss one week then an 8lb gain the next. I was now working out the gain week but I too expected like 2-3lb. I think it was just water weight though because I lost 5 of the 8lb the next two days without working out. Have you watched your sodium? Drank enough water? Your TOM? I know it's hard not to…

I got Skippy Natural no stir, it's really good (I'm a huge peanut butter fan) and I think it's better then something like Peter Pan. Serving: 2tbsp Calories: 190 Fat: 16g Sat fat: 3.5g Sodium: 150mg Carbs: 6g Fiber: 2g Sugar: 3g Protein: 7g

Man, you guys are lucky! Here in Vancouver Washington it's been 50's during the day and 30's at night! Raining every day with high winds, and no end in site!

LoL! That face is priceless! Good luck my dear, it's easier then you think, trust me

Take control! I'm sorry to hear that you are going through something difficult, but you need to take control of the only thing you can right now: Your body and your eating. You are the only one that can be accountable for that you do and put in your body right now. I know you can do it! Take care of yourself, right now…

I enter treadmilling (haha) as walking/jogging and enter in the setting I was on as miles per hour. I also ignore the calories burned on the machine, I tend to just use the MFP settings and they are usually pretty close for me anyway
