  • bump up your exercise by making it harder. make sure you sweat! If you're not sweating it's too easy & your body gets used to it. You'll be able to add more calories cuz your burning more calories. Don't eat them all back everytime so you can zigzag your calories. :) Good job!!
  • Moderation! What's the point of working so hard if you can't treat yourself every once & awhile?! Just watch your calories & workout! But don't eat like crap all the time. Just because it's high cal doesn't mean it's not good for you. fruits & veggies are good. Protein is good. Just don't pig out.
  • Agreed, most likely food (or drink) related. Re-evaluate what your are eating & your workouts. You'd be surprised how little can affect you! I was! But if you don't have a lot to loose then it will def be harder to loose it. Try a cleanse if you are just on a platue. I did a 3 day shakeology cleanse when I got stuck and…
  • My hubby is the same way! lol Drives me CRAZY!! And now my kids do the same thing! So I am always running around looking for everyone else's things! At least it keeps me organized :) And don't get discouraged by 1.5 lbs! There are lot's of reasons for that. You can't gain that over night so it's probably just water. Too…
  • I have the same problem. I burned twice as many cals when I first started working out. Now I have to bust my butt to burn 4 or 5 hundred. I think as your body gets used to exercise and you loose body fat you begin to become more "fit" and healthy and you have to work harder to burn the extra calories. And you also burn…
  • Lean proteins, fresh fruits & veggies! Stay away from processed as much as possible. Exercise at least 30 min a day. It's very unmotivating to work so hard and not see the weight come off so kuddos to you for sticking to it! Don't forget to measure too! Sometimes weight doesn't come off but the inches do!! And yes, count…
  • Agreed. Fuel your body. It's just a guide. Stick to healthy proteins, but a few carbs won't break you. I'm not sticking to the diet but just limiting sugars & carbs, raising my protein and it's workin great for me. I'll post pics when I finish the program. Starting week 9 on Monday and I have seen a HUGE diff!!
  • I run a lot for my personal benefit. And I also go 6 months where I run everyday then 6 months I don't run at all (winter in Colorado) doesn't help. But when I start back up I start with a slow pace and work my way up. Walk when you need it. After awhile I get to the point I can run the whole way and feel great.
  • I use a polar HRM everytime I work out. I have found mine to be very accurate. More so then MFP. MFP is just a general estimate. I always post what my HRM says. I even notice my HR doesn't get up as high & I don't burn as many calories now on the same work outs I did a month ago, where as MFP would keep you at the same…
  • keep em seperate. you don't want to over work your body and keeping them seperate allows you to focus on certain muscles. But just my opinion.... I've had better results this way.
  • I agree. I don't always eat all my exercise calories. I eat when my body is telling me it needs to. (every 2 hrs or so) I typically stick to around the 1200 cals and do not eat all if any of my exercise calories. But I do eat a lot of protein.
  • I'm currently on week 8 of P90. I'd say 90min as well. Cardio X is 40min all the strength are 60 with 15min for Ab Ripper (or as we call it Ab rupture!) lol I love it tho! I have noticed a HUGE difference in the past 2 months! I can't wait to get P90X2 this Dec! You can friend me if you like and we can help each other out!
  • 3 day shakeology cleanse. I just did one last week because I went 3 weeks without dropping weight or inches (& I work out 6 days a week) I dropped 6lbs & 1% body fat in 3 days. message me if you want more info!
  • Shakeology for meal replacement and/or snack and results & recovery for after workout! LOVE them!!
  • I'd say it's mostly water. When you workout you tear up your muscles and they retain water to repair themselves. So if you stop or slow the exercise your body has time to repair and loose the water. So keep eating healthy, exercising and drinking plenty of water!! Oh & quit weighing yourseslf every day ;)
  • My mom has suffered from IBS most of my life. I have watched her struggle with it and take many pills OTC and prescribed. I just put her on Shakeology 2 months ago and she has been able to drop the meds she has been on and hasn't had a serious bout of it since! Message me if you want more info! And lot's of water!! I also…
  • greek yogurt, fat free cottage cheese (with fruit), fruits & veggies, almonds, avacado. Those are my favs!

  • I'm in week 7 of P90X now. I also did not adjust my calories but added more protein. If you find you are loosing energy throughout the day or during your workouts then add more calories.

  • Mines not that bad. I max in the mid 180's at a full jog. Fast walking only get's me a little over 110ish
  • Im doing P90X right now gettin gready for P90X2 in Jan. I'm going to do Insanity after that. I like P90 it's really helping tone up my muscles.
  • When I worked FT I would get up early to exercise or I would run on my lunch break and also at night. If it's important to you, you can make the time! Just DO IT! Good luck and congrats on your new job!
  • Well damnn good start! Keep up the motivation and I'll pin a picture of you up for my motivation! ;)
  • I'm doing P90X and I just log everything in Cardio.
  • I'm getting ready to start week 6 & I'm a Beachbody coach. I missed 5 days of workout from being sick. I used my recovery week to make them up. The whole purpose of the program is to switch up routines to work different muscle groups so that when one set of muscles get used to a workout you change. re-doing a week might…
  • Shakeology for lunch!
  • I'm a BB coach. If you are still doing workouts especially good ones keep drinking it. If you're not don't, you don't need the recovery drink if you're not really working your muscles. (Cardio counts)
  • Love running! It's always done wonders for me, but mix it up with the strength training.
  • Water and shakeology!! And keep up with those fresh fruits & veggies.
