Anyone have a love/hate w/ PUSH circuit
I just finished my 3rd week of the PUSH circuit and haven't decided if I love it or hate it....While I do feel I am getting stronger I don't feel like I am losing weight nor do I feel I am losing inches.....just the opposite in fact. I almost feel like I am putting off the 5+ inches I took off last month.....anyone else…

Calorie burn day after lifting...
Anyone have a fitbit and can monitor the calories that they burn? If so does anyone else notice that on the day AFTER you lift your calorie burn is crazy? So strange as on the DVD she talks about wanting to eat more on the days she lifts....for me it is the day after.

Who uses a personal trainer?
I have been on this journey for a while and before coming to MFP lost some weight and cardio wise I am in the best shape of my life, I think....but I have kind of been at a standstill for the past 4 months (although not totally on track most of that time). Anyway I am thinking about getting a personal trainer to help w/…

Food Calories vs Net Calories
I'm still confused by the food calories vs Net calories.... My daily goal is 1200 so if I earn an extra 500 from exercise and I eat 1300, then my Net is only 800 which is way too low, right? I need to eat that extra to get as close to the 1200 NET as possible so that my body continues to burn fat and not muscle.....right?
