It depends...I joined a larger gym because I wanted to start taking spin and pilates classes. Otherwise, i would have stayed with the gym my work provides on site. I would ask for a free trial membership and see if you even like their equipment, they're not busy doing the times you want to go, and if you even like the…

I've hit these little valleys throughout my journey. But I found that changing up your routine, diet, foods, really helps keep you motivated. Also, your body needs to stay confused to keep getting maximum results. I change my diet caloric intake every two weeks, and my exercise routine every 2-3 weeks. I haven't hit a…

Planning every meals works for me. This way I can't just grab something bad. I truly believe in the saying...if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

HRM...most accurate because it takes your data...age, sex, weight, height into consideration.

I take Inner Armour Nitro Peak with Whey Isolate. It taste good and only 2g of sugar. I've tried other brands but they don;t taste as good as Nitro Peak stuff.

ME TOO!!!! Yesterday while I was working out, my pants kept drooping down and it was ANNOYING...then I thought...wait a minute. That's a GOOD thing!!!

I take my vitamins separately. In the am I take my muti-vitamin with food that has lots of protein/fat taht can help absorb and buffer the vitamin. Then I take my glucosamine and vit b12 in the afternoon. Try also eating 30minutes BEFORE you take your vitamin. Your stomach just needs to have enough food in it to buffer the…

I switch my calorie intake every two weeks to keep from plateauing from 1200-1400. This is my last week on my 1400. You are welcome to look at my diary. I am rarely hungry because I choose very filling foods and eat every 2-3 hours.

When I first started, I would tell myself, just 10 minutes, then once that was done, i'd say 10 more minutes, then 10 minutes...before I knew it, I had done a full hour.

Welcome Melissa to MFP...good luck on your journey.

The most accurate reading with be a continuous reading with a chest strap. Wrist monitors tend to be off a bit.

Weight loss is mainly food and exercise is just the "icing" on the cake. I also don't eat my exercise calories.

You can add chili pepper flakes or srirachi to just about anything and make it spicy dish. Any of your recipes can be adapted by just adding in red chili pepper flakes.

Way to go girl...you got your booty back!

Carbs are not the enemy...it's a a matter of portion control, choosing good carbs, and when you are eating it. I still eat carbs but dropping the weight. There will always be extremes of eating, diets, and exercise. You just have to find what works for you, your family, and your lifestyle.

What got me motivated...the flippin' mirror. It doesn't lie like friends who tell me I looked just fine weighing 170 lbs on a 5'1" frame. :noway:

We had the same thing happen. We couldn't find any place that would take them. :cry: So we tried to nurse them back ourselves but only one lived.

When you change things up...your body is trying to adapt to it again. Your body was use to the P90 routine. I get the soreness and difficulty level goes up every time I change my routine. This is a good thing...it means changes. Muscle confusion is gooood. :smile:

We are all knockouts inside our shells...and it's only ourselves that decide when we want to come out of our shell. Glad you're here and joining this wonderful community. Good luck on your journey.

I play tag with them or kick the soccer ball around. And if they are playing and I am just there to watch, I do circuit training---lunges, push ups, sit ups are wonderful

Welcome to MFP. Good luck on your journey

I always refer back to that same list.

Don't start none, won't be none. If you want it, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find EVERY excuse.

VERY successful. However, I didn't completely cut it out...just the amounts and timing. I eat 6 small meals each day but meals 1-3 allow one carb then meals 4-6 do not contain any carbs. I've seen the most dramatic changes in my physique.

High Intensity Intervals Circuit training

Here's what my licensed trainer told me-- Both will burn the same amount at different times. Staying in your fat burning zone will burn fat at the time you are exercising ...say 500 calories. Then for the anaerobic (above fat burning zone) you will burn less DURING the workout but will continue to burn after your workout…

You don't HAVE to do the Yoga. I use to skip it alot!! and sub it with the stretch or just plyo.
