Reminder: The 800+ calories is HARDCORE! The 800+ calories are based off of eating 10 lbs of fat over the Holiday season. If you don't eat 10 lbs worth of fats then your number of total calories required to burn drops. I just went with the extreme average mentioned by NYTimes.com. The amount eaten changes at each person, I…

Its not just the two days. There are work dinner parties, bday parties, left overs, egg nog, eating on the go when you are doing all that Christmas shopping, working extra hours to make more cash so you can buy gifts for your family etc. There are a lot of factors that come in to play

lets have you start with finding high caloric burning exercises on your own 1st then message me what you have. The knowledge will help you become more creative with mixing and matching exercises and modification of each

:) I am trying to keep a log of how many people stay on the wagon vs not. I am kind of doing a personal research study. I am sure we will see a lot of success

ncole I'm glad you are in ncole :) RE: rest....adding in one day of rest put your daily caloric burn to 972 per day... remember if you are already at 800+ calories burned per day.. this challenge is going to require you to burn 972 more per day if you eat the foods we all eat during the holidays I wish you luck... :)

Success! Thank you for being on the same page as me.

True... sorry.. I need to get a spell checker app on my phone asap.

Congrats! Please share your secret to the other 307,006,549 people who live the US so we can stop dying of preventable healthy issuse created by obesity.

My personal goal is to spread awareness versus argue. My posts are not at anyone but I will not apologize to those who take what I say personally. I do not exect all to think like me or agree 100% with what I say. I expect all to expand their minds and think outside of the box.. good luck to everyone and your fitness…

Sleepytexan Okok.... makes it difficult to succeed* Still over 90% of people who diet fail .... that's an F- ... much due to lack of knowledge

Madroch We need more people that have your mentality.. weed thru the gimmicks.. and the plan that works best for you.. just avoid the quick fixes.. and success will come.

Black and white.... ameicans are overweight, americans are getting lazy, kids are suffering, the more knowledge one has in a field the the more successful he/she can be etc etc Shaded area.. the public perception of.... healthy, in shape, eating right etc etc

Exactly people are here to learn.. I just gave them 3 pitfalls

A commen sence is established through a group's common undersranding... no matter it be through books, classes, the girl next door.. all understanding will help. We don't all need to be gurus or experts we just need to be on a common ground.. and quick fix is not the answer

Long story short.. with background knowledge ie certification, credential, or understanding, your expanding your opportunity of success. Its like trying to go pro in a sport without ever playing before. If you undrstand the sport even a little.. you increase your chances of success

Shout out to those who those who understand my point and concerns

think about life in the 1940s.. no drive thrus, no lean cuisine, no weight watchers etc.. yet the womens dress size 10 is now a 14. The world is getting lazy.. fact

To all the pro microwave comments.. all isn't evil but have you thought about what is really cooking your food?

Dwilbanks Your point is true. Anybody can lose weight, few can keep it off. Remember +90% of people gain the weight they lost back More than 60% of americans are overweight So something isn't working..

bllowry I want to say great job, I can only imagine the struggles you have/are living through. This blog was aimed towards to general "able" public. There are many factors to attribute to getting out of shape that are outside of our control. I feel upwards of 80% of the factors are excuses.

Thank you! I pulled that out because Doctors spend hundreds of hours in practice so when they apply their knowledge it is the best there is. When it comes to your body. If you spend one day reading a fitness journal I am sure you will gain a lot of knowledge and train yourself that much better. Imagine if you had a legit…

HMonsterX Great! you are on the right path, keep it up! I am not knocking anyones dedication and hardwork. Getting in shape is a contiuous process, progression is key. Please keep me updated and let me know when you reach your fitness goals. :)

luvlyluv explain?

sleepytexan I think you missed the ananlogy It helps to have the tools for success.... the same reason you need ingredents to make a good tasting dinner.

Congrats!!

Also doing cardio between 70-90% of your max heart rate will burn muscle.. weight training does not build muscle, it breaks muscle down

Keep working out. Every pound of muscle will burn 50 calories daily at rest. So.. a good goal would be to switch out 10 lbs of fat for muscle.. that's 1 lb of fat burned weekly at rest. Ps 1lb of muscle is about half the size of fat
