  • Thanks for the taking the time to provide this info! Very helpful- I've plateau'd~ I've only got 5 more lbs. to my goal
  • Hmmmmm.....sounds like you are a stress eater/ and maybe your mind is playing games with you. I suggest ditching the calorie counting for now and just eat healthier/ exercise regularly. Once you feel you have more control, come back to calorie counting.
  • You can do it- keep it one day at a time.
  • I've done it/ it works! However, the workouts are quite long (avg. 58 min). My husband and I just bought Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer series/ so far, we love it. Good Luck- you will see results, but you have to make the time.
  • I've seen this advice many times as well, hope it works
  • If my plateau doesn't break in the next week, I will try your approach. Thanks!
  • Great perspective turnabout
  • I work full time as well and have a toddler (almost 3). I also have a 10yr old son. Although I hate working out late, I find that I do my best workouts at home with DVD's after my daughter goes to bed. I also try to workout during lunch whenever possible. Hope that helps.
  • Good Luck Dani!

  • I only have KenpoX experience, so I guess my vote goes there (sorry I can't help more)
  • Yes, its worth it. I was also running 3-4x a week and was stalled before P90X. Since starting P90X, everything has kicked into full swing!

  • There are warnings about not starting P90X if you are "out of shape" (not saying you are out of shape, just be careful). I suggest starting with something else and then pick it up.
  • I have a NordicTrack too! Don't know the full model name off hand, but its a spacesaver model. I've had my elliptical for about 3 years and can't remember when I started noticing the squeeks. About two weeks ago I asked my husband to fix it- he did (w/Teflon Grease). I don't know where he got it (he is a mechanic), but it…
  • I was sad to hear of the loss of one of your twins. I struggled with infertility and lost a few myself. I wish you the best of luck. This site is working for me.
  • This is scary stuff
  • Good Luck! This site is working for me

  • Too funny, I'm getting a puppy soon (still too small to take from mama), and I was thinking about this! Wish you were in S. CA
  • Welcome- it works for me. Add me as a friend if you would like.
  • Tracking my food/ calories has done wonders for me! I've also bumped up my exercise too. Good Luck

  • I don't own this, but I can offer suggestions. You can try to google/ research online what the average calorie burn is, then add it to the database yourself. If you have a heart /calorie monitoring watch, you can capture your calories burned that way.
  • My Diary is also open, feel free to take a look. However, I fully depend on Slimfast Peanut Butter Crunch bars as my GO TO snack (100 calories and fills me up).
  • I've read its good to drink 1 cup a day. Bonus if its before a workout.
  • I'm curious to see if the app is available to the Droid/ Verizon. I'll have to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the share.
  • I just recently finished my first 1/2 marathon on May 1~ so exciting! I have been thinking about training for a full, but have not fully decided yet. I'm in the middle of P90X and trying to balance all this exercise and food is a full time job (on top of my full time job). I agree with Rebecca- we really don't need to eat…
  • P90X yoga is really only 45 minutes, so don't look at the 90 minute time frame. The remaining 45 minutes is geared towards "balance" and there are a series of postures to hold. I too do not care much for the P90X yoga (my least favorite), but I do it because its part of the routine. And guess what....the routine works! So…
  • I too am doing P90X and in the fourth week (however,I did not fully follow the schedule and had days where I did the elliptical or ran rather than p90). At first I too gained, rather than lost.....however, that was short lived and I did notice my clothes were looser regardless of what the scale said. I didn't start My…
