Cut time frame
What is the recommended time of cutting, 3 months? Then you eat at tdee for how long before cutting again?

Is it normal??
Is it normal when you cut to feel moody/irritable? Is anyone else feeling that way during their cut? I thought it was because of TOM, but that has left and the serious irritability/moodiness is still lingering...

Dumb mental game
It's so hard to not cut back to 1700 calories which is what I was eating when loosing weight after my son. Is 1700 too low anyway?? Ugh....

Encouragement
So needless to say I am frustrated and came here to get encouragement as my mind is telling me to cut waaayyy back on calories. (And I know I will be convinced to not do it!) GRRRR....I'm trying to be patient with this reset, don't get me wrong I'm LOVING eating more, but I'm HATING my old (pre-pregnancy clothes) not…

Anyone...
Anyone seeing "results" with just using Dumbbells for strength training? I saw someone posted something similar to this in another post on here but now I can't find it. I'm a stay at home mom, therefore I workout at home. Dumbbells are all I have. Can it be done or do I need to invest in gym equipment, which is not in my…

Suggestions on what's next
I have 4 more days of Jillian michaels body revolution workout left and I'm looking for suggestions on what to do next. I have lots of JM videos I've done in past that I have enjoyed and have even done insanity. Looking for home workouts to do as I have two kids and workout at home. Not a huge fan of cardio either except…

Compliment Surprise
Just had to share this...saw a friend of mine a couple of days ago. She said, "wow, Jillian michaels is doing wonders for you!" I chuckled because I thought at first she was being sarcastic. My other friend said I look at least 20lbs lighter than I did when I had my daughter 3 months ago. Little did she know I've only lost…

Fitbit & TDEE
I'm looking at starting to use my Fitbit again. I have a couple questions: 1. Would I use this to help me find my average tdee and that's basically it? 2. How would I use it with MFP if I eat a big range based on my activity? 3.Would I just log my food and not worry about it "going over?" 4. It wouldn't be accurate during…

Half way there!
Starting week 7 tomorrow! Anyone else? My legs feel stronger and starting to see some definition in my arms! Measurements come at beginning of the month. Hoping I have good results like the first phase.

Am I in the right place, doing the right thing?
I guess I'm in need of some reassurance here...a lot of doubting going on. I've seen/read a lot of people in this group lift weights. Almost every person in the testimonials thread have all lifted/lifts weights. I feel like I'm in the wrong place! I don't have gym membership, I workout at home doing mostly Jillian Michaels…

Is there an answer?
Is there an answer to why the scale might say 154.4 for a split second and then jump up 2 lbs? And continues to do it two or three times after checking. I'm really not concerned about the scale, but sometimes it does this as I weigh in. Just curious if there is a reason like my scale is being evil (when isn't it?!? Lol) or…

PiYo question
I'm in the middle of my current workout, Jillian michaels body revolution and am trying to think ahead to my next workout adventure! I was talking to a friend about exercise and she mentioned her beach body coach recommend PiYo to her. I've never tried it, but it sounds/looks fun and different so it peaked my interest. So…

Inches lost, now what?
Within the past month I have fluctuated between 177-180. And with increasing calories, I have expected this. With starting Jillian michaels body Revolution also a month ago (which incorporates weights cardio and ab work), I have lost a total of 5 1/2 inches all over, but have not lost weight. I am totally ok with this!!…

Calories don't match
My total number of calories in my diary is different than my total number of calories showing on my ticker. I manually entered my calories because I'm doing the TDEE method so how do I go into my settings and make sure the total calories in my diary and ticker match? Thanks!!

Struggle to eat my macros in protein
does anyone else struggle to eat all their macros in protein? I have macros set to 40 carb, 30 protein, 30 fat. I've been trying to eat protein with every meal and snack and I still can't seem to get even close. I have my food pretty much logged for the day and I still have 70g of protein left! How is everyone else getting…

Fitbit users
I have a fit bit that I have been using since Christmas...I primarily walk as my form of exercise right now. I'm a little confused as the calories on the fit bit are not matching what's on mfp. Right now on mfp I'm -1 on calorie bc I haven't exercised yet. But on my fitbit it says I still have almost 300 calories left.…

Success with TDEE
Hi there! I know this is a topic that can really get heated, but I just want to know if you are using the TDEE "method" for your weight loss. If so, has it been successful for your weight loss? Could you please share your experience with using it. (how much you've lost using it, what your TDEE is and how many calories you…

What's your average weight loss?
Hi everyone!! Just curious on what everyone is loosing monthly. I have found myself loosig 3-4 lbs a month, which I have been told is the best and healthiest way to loose (1lb per week), but I'm discouraged with that. I have tried putting on MFP to lose 1.5-2 lbs per week, but then I don't lose anything, maybe a .5lb week,…

silly weigh-in question...
Ok, I know some people are weighing in once a week. However, I must be the ODD one. It seems to me that I see weight loss every 9 days. It seems sooooo random. Is there anyone else out there who seems to be experiencing the same/similiar???

need some INSANE motivation
Yesterday I just started the MAX videos round 2 for insanity. I absolutely HATE the max videos b/c there is a lot of push up type exercises (it seems to me anyways) in some of the videos and I am very weak in my arms. I don't want to give up...I want to push til the end. Soooo, if you are reading this and you are also…

30 DS users
I am getting ready to start 30 DS and I am curious on how many calories you burn (if you have a HRM) I KNOW everyone is different, but I'm curious on what other girls are loosing/burning who weight around 184 lbs. I have a HRM and just want to see if we are burning around the same calories. Also, what kind of results have…

30 Day shred question...
For all you 30 DS people out there who have done the workout.....I know you can ge the workouts on youtube. Soooo, how long do you do each level? A week for each level?

New at this, Hello!
Hello everyone! I'm Amber. I'm a wife and mother of a beautiful 6 month baby boy. Since having him I have been wanting to eat better, stay active, and feel healthier.
