  • My fitbit alta hasn't been syncing with mfp for weeks. Both apps are updated & I've disconnected & reconnected. Very annoying.

  • I enjoyed body revolution and have done it multiple times, but I cannot get into body shred. I find she tries to make traditional moves different by adding something to the move making it more complicated than it should be but at the same time I dont feel like I got a good workout come the end of the 30 minutes, unlike…

  • I've completed 1 round of JMBR & after reading the rave reviews Chalean Extreme got on MFP, I ordered it & received it last week. After the 1st workout I could tell I wasnt going to like it but continued on for 4 days. I didnt like the workouts & thought Chalene was annoying. After 4 days I knew I couldnt continue w/the…

  • I finished the program about 3 weeks ago & since then found that I missed it (!) and restarted it again yesterday from the beginning. The 1st round I lost 6 pounds in the 1st phase and the hit a plateau on the scale. I did lose about 13-15 inches though. This time I'm using heavier weights & even though I've done the…

  • I love peanut butter w/apples. Today I tried something different for lunch & I made a wrap w/peanut butter & an apple - it was pretty good.

  • I get bored easily as well & cant do the same workout back to back. As much as I love Jillian Michael's workouts, I cant do level 1 every single day for whatever it is for the particular dvd (1 wk, 10 days, 3 wks). My routine varies depending on what I feel like on a particular day. I do various DVDs or different workouts…

  • I bring my lunch/snacks to work every day & while I usually eat my fruit the day I bring it, apples, bananas, & oranges last a few days. I leave them on my desk & not in a drawer where I'll forget them.

  • Jackie Warner has some goods ones for strength/abs - Personal Training w/Jackie: Xtreme Timesaver Training; Crunch-free Xtreme Abs, & Power Circuit Training are all good. If you dont want any cardio stay away from her One on One Training with Jackie dvd.

  • I workout out at home to dvds or exercise tv & walk. I recently started going to zumba classes but it is at a studio, not a gym. Personally I dont like going to the gym.

  • Go for it! The instructor in the class I go to isnt obese but isnt super skinny either - she is "average" size. There are pics up in the studio of her before zumba & getting certified and she has lost a ton of weight, and looks great. I find it inspiring & think others probably do as well.

  • A few wks back I was eating raw carrots just about every week day as my afternoon snack & was having awful stomach pains & gas - similar to when I eat too much wheat or fiber. I stopped eating carrots & the pain went away immediately.

  • Often times I weigh more right before I start but then the following wk I'll either have lost all of that plus some or I'll have lost that & gone back to where I was before. Ive stopped weighing myself right before because I know I'll weigh more between the bloating & giving into the cravings.

  • Ive been following the old WW plan since January 2010 & just started tracking my calories here on Monday and have been below my calories everyday as well. I was eating my daily points on WW and some days eating my activity points & according to MFP I've only been eating around 1000 calories. I'm having trouble trying to…

  • I'm 5'2 & currently weigh 130, when I log ripped in 30 in as circuit training for 30 minutes I get around 239 calories burned. If I use 25 minutes like you did, I get around 189 calories burned. High intensity aerobics gives me lower numbers for the same time frame.
    in Jillian's Ripped in 30 and calories burned Comment by Brandie0502 April 2011
  • I love Jillian & have all of her DVDs. My favorite is her newest one Ripped in 30 - great workout & it goes by so quickly! The only workout I dont care for is the kettlebell one, the workout itself isnt bad but my lower back hurts so bad for a few days after. Other than that one, I'd recommend any of her DVDs.
