I burn on average 500 calories per work out based on my heart rate monitor. But I'm now on a 4 week Plateau so I assume it's my diet or my body too used to the workouts?…

Is burning 245 calories enough?
So I did one of my 21 day fix workouts today and only burned 245 calories. Two months ago I burned almost 400. Since this means my body is getting in better shape, should I do harder workouts? I still got a good high heart rate and great sweat. Just wondering if I need to do an additional workout today?

30 minutes vs 60 minutes of exercise
Hi if I burn 400 calories in a 30 minute workout, and 400 in a 60 minute workout, is one better than the other? I was always told an hour workout is best but does it matter if my calorie burn is the same?

Made my first mini goal
So I've lost 6# since 1/1, and made it to 165. For the past few years after my pregnancies, my weight halted at 167 and I'd get frustrated and say screw it. But this past week I kept pushing and hit 165 which is a breakthrough number for me. So I made some pita pizzas as a small treat. For all of those frustrated, keep…

My first gain has me down today
So I had lost 6# and had a 2# gain today and I'm really bummed about it. Normally I'd try to be positive, but I'm not today. I didn't change anything except one day I had 500 more calories than normal, did all my 5 workouts and even ran one day which was huge for me, and I even had a BM so I know it's not that, lol. I'm…
