Welcome! Request sent :)

Welcome! Feel free to add me! I try to me motivating and generally positive... Most days, anyway :)

I started making my lifestyle change in January 2011. As of today, I've lost 60 lbs. I try to exercise 4 or 5 times a week and cook most meals at home. I have always been an emotional eater and didn't treat my body well in my teens and college years. So I had a lot of damage to repair. But here I am today. Some days are…

Well, I'm not a mommy in the traditional sense. My two kids are fuzzy :) But feel free to add me! I try to be motivating and generally positive... Most days anyway :) Best wishes in your journey!

Welcome from the Midwest! :) Feel free to add me! I have my diary open to friends and I aim to eat at least 120, 130 g protein daily! I also plan most days and cook alot of meals myself, so I know what you mean about planning! It can be quite the undertaking. Best wishes on your journey!

Welcome! Feel free to add me if you like :) Best wishes on your journey!

Hey everyone! I'm 26 and live in Missouri. I've lost 60 lbs since January 2011 and am currently just 10-12 lbs away from my goal weight! I came across Fat2Fit radio just yesterday, so I have alot of catching up to do :) I haven't been using MFP's intake goals for quite sometime, as they never seemed right for me. I have…

For me, it's not about how hard it is. I love a good challenge, which is why I started p90x in the first place. I can do the yoga and HAVE done it for 3 weeks, hoping to find the groove and enjoy it like I do with the other dvds. When I don't find the groove, I don't give 110%. I'd rather do something else (which doesn't…

I don't feel so guilty about hating Yoga X now :) I am a fan of yoga and was so pumped that it was included in this program. After the first time, I thought 'well maybe it was just an off day for me...' But aftet the third try, I realized I just don't care for his style too much. Granted, it IS Yoga X. But I kept thinking…

Did P90x Core Synergistics last night and it kicked my butt! Week 2 day 2 tonight- cardio!

I have a Polar ft6 (i think). I got it on amazon for around $60. So far, I'm impressed. I've had it about 2 months, I'd say. Probably will never do a workout without it :)

I'm doing the Lean P90x program and did yoga last night... I cannot believe how stiff I am! Thank goodness I do it at home, because I was even embarassing myself with all my stumbling :) everyone has to start somewhere!

After getting home and taking care of my household duties, i'll be p90x-ing it up. It might not be unti 7:30 or 8:00, but who cares! I'd rather workout later than not at all!

Mind if I join? This week was my 'first week'... When in reality, I took a break and picked up day 4 of week 1 last night :) Starting next week, i'll be on the regular Lean schedule! I've never done it before, but am pumped to get into it!

I just started p90x this week! I am doing the Lean program first, then going back and doing the Classic (well, that's the plan!) Feel free to add me! I actually use a HRM during my workouts. If you can afford one (mine was about $60 online), I highly recommend one! I think you can google a 'calories burned' calculator…

I have a schedule hanging up on my fridge! :) everytime I mindlessly wander in to look for a snack, I see it and think 'oh yeah...' Thanks for the offer! Where are you in the program?

Last night was my first day of level 2. Its definately up a level! Some of the exercises will require me to get heavier weights (whoo hoo!) and some I still have to do a beginner modification from level 1. But I got my calories burned bumped up about 50 cals. And my shoes kept flying off during a few moves! Might have to…

I have an ft4. I started level 2 just last night and burned an even 300 (pushing pretty hard). While doing level 1, I started out around 285 and by day 10, I was down to 245. I'm 5'6, 25 yrs old, 148ish lbs and been working out a little over a year. Hope that helps!

No problem! I don't track those types of things either. Unless I'm jogging while shopping or cleaning, then I might consider :) I think i'll try the 120 heart rate thing as a guide. Thanks for the input! :)

This sounds exactly like me: 30 Day Shred, 1200 cals and nothing happened! Will be trying this for sure... Just to clarify, I DO eat cals back?

Been struggling myself... After some research, I aimed to get at least 100g daily. High protein foods I eat include egg beaters, cheese, cottage cheese, fish, chicken, peanut butter, go lean cereals, nuts, turkey... I often (pretty much everyday) have to resort to some kind of protein shake. Not ideal... But good for the…

I'm in!

Welcome! Feel free to add me! Good luck with your journey :)

'your neck is not invited to this party!' during crunches. Still makes me laugh!

Sooo I tried to go from 4 lb to 5 lb weights... Holy *kitten*, it was way harder! Just 1 pound more! I did as many as I could with the 5's. Guess I'll have to push a little harder tmrw :) Hope everyone is having good luck with their 30 DS!

I use 4lb weights for now. After a few reps, I start to feel the burn, especially the anterior raises!! At the gym, I had been doing weight lifting with heavier weights, usually 10 lbs or so. But I was also 1) going every OTHER day and 2) alternating days with arms and legs. The 4 pounders work great for me right now. I…

Started on 01.23.12. Tonight will be level 1, day 3. I plan to power through 30 days straight. PLAN being the key word. Keep up the great work everyone! We can do it!
