Welcome ladies...I don't get to check in as much as I'd like. I began working full time, at the end of the summer. I work with 18 3 and 4 yr olds and am just exhausted at the end of the day. But I have returned to waking at 5am to get my excercise in. I'm two weeks into Jillian's Ripped in 30 and am loving it. I am here…

I gave them all to Goodwill! Goodbye fat clothes!!!

Fabulous info!!!! Thanks!!! xoxoxox

It doesn't have to be so hard. There is no need to deprive yourself, the key is moderation. There is no reason to starve yourself either, I typically eat at about 1800 calories a day and wouldn't have it any other way. This is about making small changes, about being healthier. Eat clean, give up the garbage fast food and…

Eat above your BMR and below your TDEE. If you don't know what that means, do your homework. Google is your friend

Without an open diary the best anyone can do is guess.

This isn't a race to the finish line.....it's a journey. A journey where you make small changes along the way, learning from your mistakes. Some days are focused and easy, other days are a fight. But whatever the journey, it has got be about lifelong changes. It's got to be sustainable. Calories are not your enemy, the…

We seem to have a few things in common, check out my profile and if you agree send me an friend request!

I totally love PB2!!! It is all natural and doesn't have all the oils and junk peanut butter in jar has. I use it my protein shake, I use it on apples and I sprinkle it on my ice cream!!

It's only a few minutes a day....you can do it!!

Are you looking at the same fitness levels?

Yes!!! They've got to be eaten back or you will be depriving yourself. But exercise!!!

And are you certain the numbers are the same??? Fat2Fitradio gives me 500 more calories.

And you will need to eat back those exercise calories. You need to think of your body as a machine. When it is fueled properly it will run efficiently and burn the fat. If you are not going to eat back your exercise calories then raise your goal accordingly.

MFP is set up so that you eat back those exercise calories. Even with that said I feel that they are too low. I use Fat2FitRadio.com military calculator (follow the instructions from there) Then I use the sedentary number and eat back my exercise calories. That is a calorie goal I can live with.

I'm on Day 6....what day are you on?? Not too late to get started either!!

Mine is open to the public.

Mine was taken 6 days ago!

Totally disagree. Everything in moderation.

Anything with coke or any kind of soda in it is not healthy. Have you looked at the ingredients in a soda? Mix with sparkling water instead.

I've read all the books and am now listening to them while I run. I'm up to A Breath of Snow and Ashes.

Excellent Brooke!!! And fabulous that your son is joining you!!

Okay folks...I have resized it all the info is there. If you are unfamiliar with planks please remember Google is your friend. Do whatever plank you are most comfortable with to start. I have started with the elbow plank and plan to progress to a full plank! As far as crunches, do whatever your level is. Start with a basic…
