Fast food is also packed with sodium and you may see a immediate gain on the scale, but it is most likely just water weight, assuming you didn't go WAAY over your calories or anything.

I create my own for each workout and modify the calories burned by my HRM

Ive missed a few days of week one.. which makes week one take about 2 weeks to do, so week 2 workouts will definatly be done on time and on shedule. I need to work on my eating. That is where most of my problem is. Only problem is, I like cheap grocery bills lol

it does give you the calories burned? Use that! IF not, your heart rate is to make sure that you aren't over doing it. I'm not sure if that is a formula to get calories burned from heart rate.. therer has to be.. somwhere on the net.

I'm a little ahead of you guys, I'm on day 4, Just finished my cardio recovery and wow it was needed. I could barely walk when I got out of bed but the recovery helped. ALOT. I stilled burned almost 400 calories doing it,but it sure didn't feel like it. My fit test looks like this: switch kicks 60 power jacks 30 power…

I like the idea myself, but I don't drink much soda. My husband on the other hand would be devastated..

Hey- I'm 5'0 and 112.2lbs I've been doing the p90x for about 3 weeks now which I find is a good motivator to eat better, even though I've gained weight since I started. I was hoping to get to about 105-106lbs but I think I could be happy around my current weight if I can see that I look better. I've already lost 3 inches…

I've had back pains for years from my bulimia and what I find helps is a pillow that I put between my knees at night. it keeps my hips at the right angle while I sleep. I can tell nights where I do not sleep with it. Also, a physical trainer told me years ago, core work and cat/cow stretches. I'm sure you can…

Wow!! great job keep up the fun work!!!

Walmart has protein shakes brand Body Fortress which don't taste too bag when chugged over the sink (4oz of water/half scoop) they are high protein and decent cals. The taste is iffy.. but a whole tub costs $15.

I find that I eat the same amount, just lighter foods. Less soups, more salads, more fruits (frozen fruits are the best after a day working in the yard). I also nibble more, a bite or two here and there rather than 3 sit down large meat pot n veg meals. My husband also likes to keep the house around74F and we live in…

I do any one of the P90X workouts and burn minimum of 500 (if I don't do the whole workout)

Possibly a smoothie? a banana will raise your potassium levels from sweating and because its liquid it wont feel so heavy when you go to bed. And depending on the soreness after your run, maybe add a little protein to it?

Cherry tomatoes are good too. you can add them in anywhere or pop them like candy. Just don't add salt. As for your protein, even for people who want to build muscle and bulk up, it is reccomended 1g of protein per pound of lean mass. Your body cant handle much more and you are just peeing it out and possibly overloading…

I live off oatmeal for breakfast (with berried, flaxseed, and nuts) and sandwiches for lunch with an apple or yogurt. Just buy in bulk sand meat (watch sodium n fat) and it takes me 5 min the morn to make a sandwich for me and my hubby. Sometimes i even race the oatmeal cooking in the microwave LOL

Your ED may have a big role in what is going on. depending on whether you were anorexic or bulimic, either one ruins your metabolism. I know that after 6-7 years of fighting with one, trying to loose weight the healthy is not only triggering, but it also takes time fro your body to realize that you aren't going to deprive…

Im 22 and 5'0.. even shorter than you!! hehe

Dramatic.. no.. but I only did it for like 12 days.. I didn't see any changes, but my hubby said there were noticable changes after only a few days. I just started this up again the yesterday, and I'm down 0.6lbs if thats any difference.

I agree that other exercises will help with your swimming, but also why not revamp your swimming routine? When I was swimming my coach would have us do a 500m warm up, then speed races (50mx 10 or something) trying to beat your previous time, just kicks with a kick board and always alternating strokes.

th easiest way i find to fingure this out is to see how many servings are supposed to be in the box and split it up evenly on the counter.. may take a while longer, but you will know for sure. Or to get a spaghetti measurer. They are flat palats with different size holes cut out of them

I haven't lost any weight per say eating 1242 cals and working out. But i have lost inches and gained muscle.

fiber one cereal and 1/2 cup milk

I put it under tae bo and use the HRM for calories burnt. i usually burn between 475-680 cals doings legs and ab ripper

Well I missed 1 maybe 2 workouts this week due to scheduling. Hope next week goes better.

its my splurge of the day.. what ever low fat creamer that i find at the grocery store that sounds good at the moment, vanilla caramel cream

I use the fruit punch, its a little odd at first, but all protein drinks are. I like it.. i only use one scoop though, not 3

my usual is chicken, brown rice or sweet potato, and a cup or 2 of whatever mixed veges walmart has. the sell 5lb bags of mixed vege, stir fry vege, or different kinds.. add some different spice, maybe tomato sauce, and you have a good meal.

I have a snack about an hour before (apple and peanut butter) and then I have my recovery drink while i make myself dinner after my workout.

Tpday is day 2 for me. My husband wanted to start again, so I took the initiative and started for both of us. Day 1 went ok, only got through half of the core synergisitcs. Dropped the motorcycle the other day and things ar a bit sore, so it was harder than usual. Day 2 cardio shouldn't be as bad. I am doing lean
