Turkey breast, chicken breast, oven roast. Pretty much anything except burger that will hold together can be cooked and sliced for sandwiches.

I started last week. And yes, the workouts for the first couple of days are intense and terrifying. Just remember to do them at your pace. Don't try to keep up with Shaun T and his crew. He'll even scream out and have it posted on the timer that you need to go at your pace. Listen to him. Keep track of what you do and try…

Welcome. In the Message Boards, go to Getting Started. There is a pinned topic: A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants. Read that as well as the links in that post. It a great place to read up on a sustainable process.

I generally stick with 10 calories a minute. If I push real hard, then I've burned more than calculated and I just ignore them. If I have an easy day where I just want to move but not go all out, then I log about 5 calories a minute. In the end, whatever calorie amount I get, I usually don't eat them back.

Hi Emily and welcome. Good luck with your goals. Remember that a long term goal may include ups and downs. Don't get discouraged. Keep focused on your final goal and you will get there. Just take it one day at a time and realize that whatever changes you make need to be sustainable for the long term. So make them ones you…

Hello. Welcome back and hope you are able to find a process that works for you. Everyone is different, so while you may get a bunch of informaiton about "this is what works for me", it's all about finding what works for you. Try something and if you don't like it, or don't get the results you are looking for, then just…

Please don't tell me the government funded this study. I'm haven't finished the study of the mating rituals of the tze tze fly.

Welcome and good luck. Just remember that there will be ups and downs along the way. As long as the long term view continues with a loss, you're succeeding.

Usually there is a lot of information given at the fitness assessments. You got overloaded with info. That's ok, it happens to a lot of us when we first start. There is so much to take in and trying to figure out what to do, what not to do can be very overwhelming. So, having said that, If you want to go with 1500 calories…

After work for me. It takes me a while to cool down completely, so if I do it after work, I don't have to worry about still burning and going back to work. Go Pats!

Just finished Plyo. Got to where he started the jabs and thought, "I don't remember these." That's because I stopped at 30 minutes last time. Made it though and then realized a second thing. When I stopped that first time, I didn't fast forward to the stretches. That's probably why my calves hurt so bad. Feel much better…

Pure Cardio done. Stick me with a fork and turn off the oven because I. AM. DONE.

Gah! I have pure cardio today. I'm getting scared. Just focus, just focus. And breathe And wait for the peace, love, out.

Same thing for me. I hit a first goal and decided to try to maintain that. Ya, didn't work so well. I gained back just about all the weight I had lost. Set myself up again and started back on it. I again hit that magic number that satisfied me temporarily and went on vacation. Got back home, my allergies hit me with a…

Hard work, dedication and a willingness to accept that choices we make are the ones that get us into our predicaments. Way to go!!! Definitely something to be proud of. Congrats!

I took a look at the past week or so and most days you are netting less than 1000 calories. If you net at least 1200 calories, you probably won't get that 'eating too few calories' message. Evaluate your daily total (say after lunch) and figure approximately how many calories you will be burning for exercise and try to eat…

There's a difference in having a glass of wine just because you feel like having one, and replacing food with beer. Americans are not puritanical about enjoying a choice of drink, but when that choice of drink replaces common sense, then we just say nope, not going to agree with that.

I started on a Tuesday, so my day off is Monday. But that's ok, I'll post after I do the workout on Sunday which means I'll be going into an off day. After 3 days, I'm already looking forward to the off day.

Ditto what Sailwriter said. Also, don't try to compete with the (sometimes) frustratingly happy people on the tv. I mean really, how many people smile while doing those exercises? Most of us are probably huffing and puffing like a train trying to make it through as that count down moves exceedingly slow. All kidding aside,…
-
I almost never do the reps they do. But I try to keep track of the number I do for each round. And if I do at least one more than I did of that exercise the previous round, then I'm good with that.

Welcome, and congrats on taking charge of your life/health. Keep in mind that not everyday will be a success, but over the long term, if you dedicate yourself to this new life, you will ultimately succeed. Good luck!

Oh thank god. I saw the topic and thought, "Oh please, no. Don't say that!" I completely agree with you. Only do what your body is telling you it can do. Pushing through to finish because you are tired is one thing. Pushing through pain or strain will only hurt you. And then you won't be able to do much, if anything. My…

Completed the Cardio and balance. Yes! I actually completed it. Completely drained by the end of it, but I did it. Yay me. I'm happy. Can you tell?:drinker:
