Help me please???
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that you guys are amazing and I hope you can assist me. I've been lurking in this group for a little bit and am now brave enough to finally ask for some help! I feel like I've been spinning my wheels and I am not where I would like to be. My goal was to try and be bikini ready for my…

How often do you take photos/measurements?
Trying to figure out how often to do this and expect to see a change. I last took measurements on 8/15 (day 8) and photos on 8/19 (day 9). Kind of antsy to see if there's a loss but if it's not been long enough I may wait so I don't get discouraged. Especially because my scale is not moving

Hate to say it
I'm not jumping ship per say..but I feel I need to change things up more with my exercises. Monday I went to do my 30DS and couldn't even start I just am so bored with the routines! I tried to find the level 3 video on youtube and couldn't find it. I have our Wii hooked up to the TV so was trying to search on their…

Have you seen this before?!
I own a food scale but left it on and the batteries died. It's safe to say I am going to replace those batteries and weigh everything. Never thought I could be sabotaging myself accidentally! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVjWPclrWVY

Workout Chit-Chat or whatever....
Hopefully it's okay to post this? Was just thinking it would be cool to have a thread to post random chit-chat or posts about the workouts that don't necessarily fit into the threads. Sometimes I want to post about the work out but don't really have a place to post about it and don't want to start a new thread. Worked out…

What's a balanced lifting routine?
Hey all- I'm thinking about forking out the money to join a gym to help see some progress. I want to start lifting heavier but do not have the home equipment to do the job. I've been doing the 30 day shred for the last few weeks but I am wanting to try something else to change it up, and to be honest some of the strength…

30DS--How heavy are your dumbells?
Curious as to how heavy everyone is lifting. I don't feel much resistance with 5 lbs so I'm going to try 10 lbs tonight. My boyfriend suggested 15-20 lbs for more definition. I'm just not sure I can keep up with the pace using that much weight. Thoughts?

Started level 2!
I didn't finish level 1 because I was not feeling challenged. Well. That has changed in level 2!! Woowweeeee!!!!! Killer! Took lots of breaks though. Some to watch how to do the move. Some because my shoes were slipping during the plank moves. Can I just tell you how much those suck btw!!!!! Ugh! Anyone notice how the…

What do you do when you're not hungry??
Not an eating disorder type of post, but there are some days where I get extremely full yet I still have calories left over. For example last night after dinner I was so stuffed I couldn't manage to eat anything more. I did end up over my BMR yesteday, but I worked out and I don't know if I ate enough based on the activity…

Where would you put my activity level for TDEE??
So I work at a desk 8 hours a day. I get up for bathroom breaks etc or deliver files or whatever but not a ton of walking. After work I am doing the 30 day shred. Planning on taking a break from the shred over the weekend and maybe just walk or hike or maybe even do nothing at all and just having a real rest day. Not sure…

Seduced by Illusion--interesting article!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-dixon/weight-loss-secrets_b_3643898.html If nothing else, this is the best thing to take away from the article Forget about the quick transformations and focus on a life of healthy eating, well-managed stress levels, quality sleep and plenty of movement. Spend time with people who have…

Over thinking things and confusing myself :-/
Pretty sure I have the BMR/TDEE etc stuff under control. But now I am wondering about activity. I am not sure what to do! I have a really tight schedule (I've posted before) working 8 hours (desk job) + 3 hours of night school (more desk) + a few hours for homework (more desk/couch). Leaves me crawling into bed between…

Can anyone offer some ideas or their thoughts?
I am trying to figure out what exactly to do. I have super limited time for working out right now but want to do the best I can! I work full time (8-5) and take night classes (3 hours/night) 4 nights a week. My days usually start at 5:30 with a work out and end between 11pm-1am after doing homework (yawn :yawn: ) I know I…

Another TDEE/BMR question
Sorry for ANOTHER TDEE/BMR question. I'm sure you guys are getting tired of answering the same thing over and over. I just want some confirmation on my thinking here. Last month I joined a challenge and lost a few lbs the 1st two weeks, and the last 2 weeks it came to a SCREECHING halt. I did figure out that I was not…

Macros??
Can someone please clear something up for me? I read a lot of people on the message boards say "if it fits your macros". Is that to mean your protein/carbs/fat etc? If so, how do you know what you should be intaking? Do you use what MFP gives you? Also, my gut feeling if you went over on protein is it wouldn't be the end…
