Add on to kickboxing
I started kickboxing 3-4 times a week about a month ago and am happy with the results. (Lost 2 pounds and 4 inches). What I'd like to do is incorporate some weights for my days off so I can punch and kick harder. If anyone has any suggestions for the best way to do this I'd appreciate it. For reference I'm a 5'4 female,…

Why weigh meat raw?
If I'm eating meat, I'm eating it cooked. To me it makes sense to weigh what I'm eating, rather than what I'm cooking. 4 oz of raw chicken cooks down to 3.8 oz. or 100 grams cooks down to 95. You get my drift. I've seen people say to weigh it raw but I don't get the reasoning behind it.

I need some advice please.
I've made my diary public so you can look at it. My dr told me to stay under 50 carbs, which I do most days. He didn't seem to care about calories too much so I'm using the MFP suggested. I'm barely losing weight and I'm hoping all my experienced LCHF peeps can give me some insight, suggestions and most of all HOPE. I've…

Les Mills Combat videos
I just started this week. Anyone else doing these or done them in the past? This is a huge step up for me from doing CIZE and other dance type videos. I was pretty sore after the first few days but totally motivated. Wondering if anyone has had success with them. Thanks!

It's getting harder and harder to burn calories
I started working out last summer with 1 DVD, a cardio kickboxing kind of thing, and I did it every day. Then I got Rockin Body, by Shaun T, very Dancy cardio, 6 different videos, I didn't have a Fitbit yet so I used the calories from General aerobics to estimate. I used this series for several months. Next I got CIZE,…

CIZE Group
I started a group for everyone who's starting or doing CIZE so we can motivate and inspire each other. I'm not a beachbody coach, I just love the program and want to share it!!!

Have you ever heard of this formula?
I just got the Les Mills Body Combat workout program. They have an eating program that I won't be following but what I found interesting was their concept of how to find your calorie goal. It says: That would put me at over 2000 calories for weight loss!!! Seems somewhat high when every other formula has me between…

Air Travel with fitness DVDs
I'm going on vacation and want to bring a DVD with me so I can workout in my room in case I miss the resort's classes. Would you keep it in your carry on bag, or pack it in your suitcase? Thanks in advance!

Happy Day
This might be a small success for some but it's huge for me. I went 1 month without losing weight. Sometimes I'd fluctuate up but never down. Today, one month to the day, I finally lost 4 pounds! I'm not exactly sure what was the key, but I guess my body was finally ready to let the pounds go. So happy and wanted to share…

Low carb sweet treat with ricotta
I just made this and it was delicious! I didn't add anything into it this time but I think the next time I'll add some berries. I used full fat ricotta 1/2 tb of the cocoa powder and 2 packets of equal. Enjoy!!!

Turbo Jam Punch Kick and Jam
I got this video a few months ago and it is my absolute favorite. I had to stop for a few weeks due to illness but I'm back on board. Once I have this mastered and it becomes a true habit I want to upgrade to the Turbo Jam with 5 workouts. I'm currently on a low carb moderate protein diet and struggling to lose weight.…

Did anyone in your life contribute to any food/weight/body image issues you have?
I'm talking about mentally. I grew up with a mother on a perpetual diet. A lifetime Weight Watchers member since before I was born, there was always diet butter/soda/dressing for her and regular stuff for my dad. She used the tiniest amount of sweet n low in her tea with her skim milk while my dad had whole milk and sugar…

30 day challenges
I've found a bunch of these on Pinterest and started doing a plank and a squat challenge. Was wondering if anyone has ever completed one of these and did it improve your fitness in a big way. I'm doing this on top of about an hour of cardio a day (CIZE by Shaun T and Walk away the Pounds Fat Burner).

Restaurant nutrition info
Www.dwlz.com Dottie's weight loss zone. She has old and new weight watchers points as well as calories, fats, carbs, etc for food at hundreds of restaurants. Very accurate too.

Hey it's ok....aka don't beat yourself up
If you ate under your calories for a few days because you were sick/stressed etc. Feel better and get back to regular eating. If you ate over your calories in a binge/went out to dinner/ got your monthly...go back to your regular eating now. If you skipped your workout. It happens. Work out tomorrow. Hard. It's also ok to…

Plastic surgery when it's over?
The first time I lost a lot of weight, I had a tummy tuck. I had loose skin that wasn't going away, no matter how much exercise. Worth every penny, every bit of pain. I barely have a scar, and although I've gained some weight back, the belly is still pretty flat. When I get closer to my goal I want to have my arms and legs…

Greek yogurt?
I know this stuff is so much better for you than regular yogurt but the taste just kills me. I bought plain Greek yogurt yesterday for making smoothies, cooking, more for my husband than me, but I could barely take the smell let alone drink the smoothie, which I blended a half cup with vanilla extract, raspberries, skim…

Rockin Body vs CIZE
I'm on my 4th week of Rockin Body and I love Shawn T and the dancing. I'm not sweating as much as I used to, and while I've lost 3.5 inches around my waist, 3 around the hips, and even an inch off of my back, I haven't lost a pound. I eat around 1200 calories/day on a lower carb diet, and was struggling before I started…

Shaun T's Rockin Body vs CIZE
Has anyone done both? I just finished 4 weeks of Rockin Body, and while I didn't lose pounds, I lost about 10 inches overall. (Thyroid/medication issues interfering with my metabolism and ability to lose weight, seeing dr on Monday) I'm just wondering if CIZE is harder, did you lose more weight or inches on one over…

Some wins, some frustration.
After a 2 week stay in the hospital in the end of August, where I gained about 6 lbs, I cannot take it off. I've stayed under my calories about 95% of the time, and went from doing the same exercise video 4-5 days a week, I've started Rockin Body 6 days a week. I burn between 600-1000 calories depending on the scheduled…

Low carb + Low protein = vegetarian?
I went to my diet doctor today, and found out that along with being on a low-carb diet but I know must be on a low-protein diet as well due to my recent kidney failure and damage kidneys. This leaves me with only it seems vegetables to eat. I have never wanted to be a vegetarian, but somehow this is turning me into one. I…
