JM DVD rotation?
I am on level 2 of 30DS and enjoy it, but I am looking to add additional JM DVDs to the mix and wondered if any of you already have a workout rotation with her DVDs that you would like to share with me. :) I thought about purchasing Body Revolution, but I really don't want to spend that amount of money when I can purchase…

Non scale victories (NSV)
I thought we should start on our thread for our groups NSV. 1.) I went to a family birthday party last night and my brother in law asked if I was losing weight because my face looked a lot thinner. I smiled from ear to ear...because in reality I have gained 0.7 lbs this week since increasing my calories. :) 2.) I am just…

Muscle strain in neck lifting? Chalean Extreme
I am on my second week of Chalean Extreme. Which has 3 heavy lifting days and 2 cardio days. Last week after my first lifting day I noticed that I felt like I had a lump in my throat when I would swallow, right in the front in the middle, about where my adam's apple would be. At the time I just thought it was from…

Grrr, too many sources of potentially wrong info...I'm stuck
I have had several different professional sources give me daily calories goals that are lower then my current intake, and my current intake is much lower then most of you and probably should be higher. I am currently at 1500, my BMR. Most days I go over that 100 to 200 depending on my level of exercise that day. But my net…

Anyone doing Chalean Extreme? I ordered it and expect it to arrive this week. I have read several reviews but wondered what others thoughts were on the program. I have read that many feel they need to add additional cardio after strength training. I am currently planning to do running in the a.m. before work and strength…

Current discussion about starvation mode
Here is a link to a current discussion about starvation mode. Parts of the conversation are actually very sad, I haven't replied because honestly I don't have the solid reserach to help convince this individuals who seem very set in their ways of eating around 750 calories a day. However, the most useful are some of the…

Your fav non-lifting day workout
I just started NROLW on Monday, so tonight is day 2. So I will be lifting weights 3 days a week, every other day. In NROLW he discusses suggested non-lifting workout day exercises. Pretty much it can be anything that is not too strenuous to allow for your muscles to recover. Yesterday I did pilates, which I love. But that…

Logging strength/lifting weights
I am almost done reading The New Rules of Lifting for Women and plan to start my lifting tomorrow evening after I purchase some heavier weighs since I don't have access to a gym (gotta love small towns).
