BeFit in 90
I started BeFit in 90 on youtube yesterday. I had been doing 30 day shred before, but I must say I LOVED the BeFit in 90 workout! I actually got sore, which never happened for me with 30DS. It is a different workout every day so I won't get bored like I did with 30DS! Also, there is a rest day every few days! Is anyone…

How much is water weight?
I have a question about water weight. My boyfriend has been eating right and exercising for 2 weeks now and has lost 20 lbs (he's doing so awesome!!) He posted a status about it on Facebook and one person commented "20lbs is just water weight...actual loss takes a lot more time...sorry, but that's just the truth..." I can…

Non-calorie counters?
I've decided I want to try focusing on eating healthy and natural and exercising to lose weight instead of counting calories. I have just been eating whatever I want if it's under my calorie goal, and it's hard for me to figure out what my goal should actually be. I just don't feel like I can count them for the rest of my…

Day 14 30DS
I have been getting upset because I only lost .25" from my hips and waist during level 1. I had a couple of really bad days (nutrition wise) and skipped a couple of workouts... I thought maybe if I really focus for level 2 I would have some success. After a few days of level I'm finally starting to feel the burn and see…

Food Peer Pressure
Tonight two of my friends and I went to a soccer game and stopped at McDonald's afterwards. I told one of my friends that I wasn't going to get anything because I had some fresh bread I had bought from a bakery waiting for me at home. Besides that, I honestly didn't want to spend the money and I didn't really want anything…

30DS/Calories Question
I am doing 30 Day Shred and missed two days of exercise because I was at the beach. I also ate a lot more than usual (about 1000 over goal Fri and Sat) but I was walking around and swimming a lot... I am thinking about doing my cardio and 30DS both twice today to make up for the missed exercises and make up for all the…

Feeling discouraged :(
A few of weeks ago I decided to try eating TDEE-20% but thought I was SUPPOSED to eat back exercise calories. I didn't realize I was just supposed to just eat the 1850 calories or so. I gained some inches back and also am now almost back up to my top weight :( I'm switching back to what I was doing a couple months ago that…

No access to haevy weights...
I am wondering what are the alternatives to lifting heavy? I got a gym membership this month and have started lifting weights, but it is really cutting into my budget so I am not going to be able to buy another month's membership. I have an elliptical at home for cardio, but I need an alternative to heavy lifting.

Dizzy after cardio.
Last night I got home from a belated Christmas Dinner with my family. I had eaten some chocolates and treats along with healthy food I had eaten for a total of 1610 calories. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes and MFP said I burned about 306 calories, so I wasn't ridiculously low on calories. I got in the shower…

It's not alway about the scale!
I have been back on track to getting fit for about a month now and was getting discouraged because I actually GAINED a couple pounds. I took my measurements today and all were the same but....I lost an inch on my hips! So to all of you trying to lose weight like me, it's not all about what is on the scale!
