The watch ones don't work well.... usually you have to constantly push buttons for it to read your rate at that moment... they are not very consistent. The Polars are probably the most comfortable/accurate but I personally don't like using HRMs. They bug me while working out. I prefer not to count the exercise calories and…

I have had 2 of them so far. The one I had before pregnancy I did not gain weight, I also only gained 15 lbs during pregnancy, and one after and I did not gain weight from either. It is low dose of hormones, lower than the pill. I contribute the 40 lbs i gained to my own fault after getting divorced and drinking/eating too…

i like it in the vanilla, i use it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, ice, and sometimes a few frozen berries. Its delicious after working out and for dinner sometimes!!

Thanks for the replies. adrenalinejun - unfortunately I looked and we don't have either of those stores in Utah. DIYmomma- OH, I didn't know you could get that, or that it would be much of a problem working out barefoot. I will def. be stopping to check out shoes after work tonight.

I have had quite a bit of energy all day long. I don't eat before (I do this at 5am before getting ready for work) but I do have a protein shake right after. I usually also do PM cardio workouts in addition to BR in the mornings.

Wanted to say hello!! I am 1/2 way through week 3 right now and I love it!! I think you will really like it!! I think it is a bit more intense than P90 for sure! I do use as heavy weight as I can and do the plyo versions.

IMO I would do the bootcamp by itself.... she specifically says not to work the same muscle groups. You are supposed to have days of rest between the time you do one area of the body (odd or even disk) to the other area with cardio in between. She says you can do additional cardio but not strength, and I assume the…

I am still in phase one and i do the most weight i can for each set and do the most advanced versions i can on all the other exercises (add weight or do the plyo versions). i find it to be really great workouts. As with any workout you get what you put into it. I think Jillian has some of the best workouts but I never…

Size 4!!! This is great!!! I am mostly interested in changing my body over the number on the scale!!! I would like to loose the last 10 lbs but if my body changed and I went to a size 4 I would be even happier than loosing even 1 lb!!!

I did about a week of insanity and I personally didn't like it personally. I like how BR has cardio and weight training... Insanity was all super intense cardio / planks / pushups / jumps / burpies etc. I prefer the combination of weights and cardio myself and think insanity is very intense endurance training IMO. I think…

I am doing befitin90 for a bit of change without buying another one of these "systems". I have and did the 30 day shred, it is also on their channel for free. I actually found a bunch of good stuff on there for free.

Just started this today, stumbled across it last night doing another workout. I was searching for something new and really didn't need to spend more money on another "system" so this was a perfect find!!

I like OEP, It works well for me as a good appitie suppresent and gives me really good energy (not like caffine type ones, for me those do nothing, i get enough coffee and green tea in my life, LOL) If you google it and look it up on gnc the reviews are generally positive, the best I have seen so far. The only the negative…

i think its up to you and how you feel. I dont like to eat before... i get up at 430 am to work out and dont eat til 8 am.

Hood's Carb Countdown!!!!! its soooo good!! They have it at Smiths (Kroger)

I agree with this 100% about how this becomes consuming of all your time and energy, and all the discouragements that happen. It gets really hard mentally and becomes very obsessive!

I don't have an answer, but I will say I definatly feel like I can't get motivated again. I have been on "maintinance" or a "break" for months when i really want to lose 5-10 more lbs but they just were not coming off no matter how hard I worked.... so I ended up giving up!! I eat whatever, healthy or not so healthy and…

I agree that you can eat on a budget and lose weight if you just eat smaller portions. If you eat 6 times a day like you say.... you could also cut out 1-2 of those and only eat 4-5 times per day if you can't seem to eat smaller meals.

Great recipe! thanks.

you know what, work on your calories first, then you can work on exercise for you health later. Dont worry and start with small things to change your life.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!! Unfortunately some people just don't listen!!

i always exercise in the morning before eating... (4:30 am) i dont want to wait around after eating something to work out. I prefer it, when ive worked out after eating - like in the night time- it feels different to me and i dont like it. calories burned would come out the same, i think its just preference.

LOVE Dannon Plain greek... i dont buy any sweetened/fruit ones. I hated yoplait and didnt like chobani (with fruit).... i cant afford the other kinds!! I have heard plain greek referred to as tasing like sour cream- kind of has the tart flavor of plain yogurt but with a very creamy smooth and thicker texture... yum. eta- I…

bump

thank you for posting... it drives me nuts that people think they can eat more calories for doing grocery shopping and things that are NORMAL. I have wondered that if you are doing more intense exercise for a while if that becomes normal for your body and it dosnt count anymore. I exercise everyday for months and think my…

bump for later =]

STASH!!! chai green and chai white teas

I had it too... but it became depressing to me and made my moods bad. I have stopped and only weigh every few days to check up on it and i am in way better moods now!! not upset and depressed every time it would go up and down.

in a comparison, i always choose fewer carbs, higher protein, lower fat pretty much in that order (not as concerned about fat as with carbs). I don't think you can ever go wrong with out some of the extra carbs. edit to add- CALORIES ARE #1, macros are secondary!!

its under kickboxing and says turbo jam next to it
