  • Hi Annette! Welcome aboard! I'd love to add you as a friend, extra motivation is always a good thing to have. Sounds like you're on the right track and getting in two workouts a day is fantastic! Just don't overdo yourself, moderation is best. I always look at exercise as being good for my body but not a contribution to my…

  • I've always been interested in this topic but my questions have always come back to the same thing - how can i ensure i'm getting enough protein and calcium in my diet if I'm not eating and drinking meat and dairy. Does anyone know of any alternatives that they can share (besides beans - they just don't work for me). I…

  • you guys are all awesome, lots of tips here! Thanks everyone! For the record, I ended up using the bands... Mike was right - they just work and if I get injured iwth it flying off the door, well then at least I got injured doing something that was healthy! lol

    in Pull-up/Chin Up Alternatives? Comment by tizzy22 July 2011
  • Thanks Knittnponder... for that info. I'll look into those bands, however I'm trying to find an alternative to the bands. I just don't trust them, they feel like they could snap at any given point. Mine are adjustable too but the more I adjust them the more i feel they will snap. Do you know of any alternative to the bands…

    in Protien Ideas Comment by tizzy22 July 2011
  • yup you should, but it should be incorporated into your daily caloric intake. protein powder is basically food for your muscles and it helps them repair after stretching them out or working them. It's a good idea. I really like the Leanfit protein from costco, it dissolves well and is only 110 calories per scoop. I can…
    in Protein powder?? Comment by tizzy22 June 2011
  • Try to remember that you're in charge of how you achieve your goals, and so try not to give into things around you that might make you loose focus. I agree with Bluefox - guilt is a huge motivator for me as well and diet and exercise should be enjoyable. I actually find using MFP as a reward at the end of my…

  • I agree... you shouldn't take it as a meal but rather as a snack replacement or with your meal. I would recommend you take it after however you should eat a light snack about 30 minutes before your class to give you a bit of energy to carry you through the class. The protein is food for your muscles and so as you stretch…

  • Thanks everyone for all your feedback and comments. I wasn't aware of the BMR factor and so having factored that in, I now know how to calculate my caloric intake and output. Just to clarify, yesterday was a rare occassion to each such low calories - I have been under the weather and so that contributed to my lack of…
