the part that you are missing is the fact that MFP already factors in a calorie deficit for however many pounds you say you want to lose a week based on your BMR, So when you don't eat back your exercise calories you are creating an even larger deficit and that is not good for your body and it will not help your weight…

see i've never understood this logic. People think "i can't possibly be burning that many calories" but why not? What exactly is the logic behind that? Cycling at 14-15mph for 45 minutes is a lot of work and burning 800 calories in that time frame isn't absurd at all especially if you are quite a bit overweight. I mean my…

How your heart is affected by stress Stress affects your cardiovascular system in several ways: Heart rate increases. The rate of blood flow speeds up, increasing blood pressure. The release of fatty acids into the bloodstream for energy increases cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Under chronic stress, the continued…

I've done Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, twice, and have had some good results! The workouts are definitely challenging but totally worth it in the end! I did do quite a bit of cycling in the first month but now i don't since the weather has shifted. I walk when the weather is nice but other than that I just stick the…

Yep jillian michaels protein powder is definitley nasty and really not that great of a protein powder. Much better options out there :)

4 dogs here. Elijah(in my picture) an 8 year old pit bull/boxer mix(not sure on the boxer part, but i know his mother was an american pit bull terrier) Ozzy - 8 year old golden retriever/beagle mix Sheeba - 9 year old akita/chow mix(best guess, she was a stray roaming the streets when i took her in) Henry Paul -4 year old…

thanks for your insight! My goal is definitely not just about getting skinny. I am most definitely focused on becoming fit and healthy, not just a number on the scale. I think I'll hold off getting an HRM for now simply because money is so tight but will definitely get one as soon as there is a little more money flow.…

i'm not struggling with my weight loss. I've been quite happy with my progress :)

that's pretty much been my view, which is why i asked this question, I don't think I can justify the $65 on something that isn't going to have a real impact on my weight loss.

Right and this is one of the reasons i have been seriously considering getting one. I'm thinking it might help me really push myself and give my workout everything I have....

"gonna go back to dreaming bout you. Have a nice day"

You just have to keep at it. You'll build strength over time. I couldn't master it the first time either, I did a second round of the 30 day shred and was able to do it pretty well :)

what an awesome story! you're amazing!!! keep it up!

awwww that is beyond awesome!!! :happy:

I just picked up Jillian Michaels ripped in 30...it's the same style as 30 day shred but still different. Did my first day today and i really enjoyed it. It's cut into weeks instead of the 10 days like the 30ds.

^^ this.

I would love to adopt, but it seems impossible to find a man who is ok with it. All the ones i've dated all say they want a son with their blood....:ohwell:

I will say I probably won't be logging thanksgiving, only because i am not making it and I don't want to pester people to get it accurate. I just plan on exercising some self control and eating small portions of all the delicious food.

you look amazing! way to go!!

It's normal when you've done a workout you aren't use to doing or work out for the first time in a long time. I've always found after a day or two of rest, working out again really helps me work out the soreness. I'm always back to normal the next day.

i'll have to remember to buy even more ben & jerry's ;)

I wouldn't feel bad either!

you look great! way to go!

lmfao!

it does look photoshopped..

^^ but to each their own! they look pretty damn happy and i'm pretty sure they could kick my butt lol.

you don't think it's absurd to judge a whole breed by the actions of one dog?

Yes, still plenty of ignorant people in the world unfortunately :\

awesome, way to go!!!!

i've never heard anyone say think...that doesn't even sound right.
