Good lifting programs?
I am looking for a good lifting program. I have done ChaLean Extreme so many times through that I just don't look forward to it anymore (LOVE the program and Chalene, just hate how I know every move/everything that's said from doing it so many times). I'm looking for a program instead of just a DVD. I have mannnny programs…

Anyone have a Polar FT60?
I currently have a F11, but I want a new watch. I've been reading reviews about the FT60, and I like it so far, but I do have two questions that the reviews haven't answered: 1. Can you see your calorie burn during exercise? I read one review that stated you couldn't... I know this person may not have known all the…

Chalean Extreme
I just started Chalean Extreme today, and I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there starting today, or who are currently doing the program. It would be helpful to have other people to talk to about the workouts and how they're going! (Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I couldn't find a current one...)

Question for Polar HRM users..
I have a F11 Polar HRM. I got it in August. It's been working pretty well but the last 2 months it's been showing readings of 00-18% MHR when I'm working out hard, and it'll stay at that reading for a minute or longer and again several times during my workouts! I know it's messing my calorie count up because of that. I…

Getting back on track..
I'm having such a hard time getting back on track after Christmas. I was doing so good before then, I even got under 200 the week before Christmas, and now I'm around 203. I've even lost a pound or 2 since the weekend! But now I find it very hard to stay within my calories and I've been craving junk like crazy. I haven't…

I'm under 200!!
Yay! I finally did it. I've been hovering around 200 for over a month now, but just couldn't seem to get below it. Well today I stepped on the scale and it said 199.8!! I know it's just .2 under 200, but I don't care! I haven't weighed under 200 in 4 years. Five more pounds and I'll be the weight I was when I first started…

New Years Challenge!!
Hey everyone! I just got done with a 10 pound challenge for Thanksgiving, and it really helped me out! So, I realized that it's exactly 5 weeks until New Years day today. I would love to have another challenge to push me along until then. Losing 2 pounds a week will get me to my New Years goal of losing 10 pounds (even…

Workout DVDs
I work out at home, and I want to get some new DVDs to work out with.. I just don't know which ones are any good. I have a bunch of the Jillian Michaels ones, some of the Biggest Loser DVDs, The FIRM workouts, TaeBo, and Jari Love DVDs. I like a good hard workout, so the more challenging, the better... but what do yall…

WHOA!!!
I can't believe it.. I was just looking through pictures on my phone while ago, and I came across a picture of me at my heaviest (245). I looked at my face and how big it was.. and I remember the day I took it - reality smacked me in the face and I cried because I realized how much weight I had put on. Then I compared it…

Losing more when working out less?
I know this may sound crazy.. but I have noticed that weight just falls off of me if I don't work out as much. I usually try to do about 45 minutes to an hour a day at least 6 days a week, but when I do that I lose VERY slowly. Then on the other hand, if I work out about 30 minutes 5 days a week, I can lose triple the…

Who thinks I can do it?
I want to get to (preferrably under) 200 this week. At my weigh in on Thursday, I weighed 203.2. If I can just lose 3.3 pounds, I'll be under 200!!! I can't wait to get there. So, I figured what would be better than to have to post what I do to all of you. It's one thing to try and do something that if I fail, only I know,…

My Realization...
For some reason today as I was sitting here at the computer, it just hit me and I realized a few important things: OK, I've been working on my weight loss for over a year and a half and haven't had too much success (for the long peroid of time compared to how overweight I started out..). I guess it's all due to the fact…

Down 40 pounds!!!
I just got on the scale this morning and I was very pleased to see that I have lost exactly 40 pounds now! I had been at almost a standstill at my weight loss, so I decided to try something different. I haven't had any sweets since Sunday, and I've lost 2 pounds in 5 days because of it! But keep in mind I used to have 1-2…

Working When Not Feeling Well...
Hey everyone. I think I am beginning to get a cold, but it's not really to the point where it bothers me much yet. Usually I do a lot of cardio with jumping involved, but I can't right now because it hurts my head.:sick: But I still feel well enough otherwise to get a work out in. What do you guys do when you don't feel…

Yay!
I'm so excited! Yesterday I was going through my closet looking at all my clothes that I thought didn't fit. Well, I noticed that my size 15 jeans were getting pretty loose on me, so I decided to try on some of my older clothes just for fun. I put on a few different pairs, and they all fit! Most of them were 13s, some even…

Eating before exercise..
I am a little confused about eating before working out. I usually work out in the mornings, sometimes before I eat, sometimes after. I have read various articles that say it is better to eat something before you work out while others say you can tap into your fat stores better if you workout on an empty stomach. Which one…

Just wondering...
I was just wondering how accurate the calculations are on the home page where it says "If every day were like today, you would weigh _____ in 5 weeks." Has anyone kept up with it to see if that really was what you weigh in 5 weeks (or close to it)? That motivates me pretty good and that way I can see just about what I need…

Help...

I did so good the first week on this site, but as always my motivation starts to dwindle unitl I start to not eat healthy any more and I end up gaining back the weight I lose. For instance, I lost about 4 pounds in the first week, but I have gained about 2 back, and…

Hey everyone!
Hey, I'm new to this site. I thought the best way to get started would be to say hello and introduce myself. I've already lost 30 lbs, but I seem to be at a stand still. My 21st birthday is coming up in October and I would LOVE to be under 200 lbs by then (a 15 pound loss). I'm hoping this site will be the encouragement…
