Overestimating your calories burned....
Using all the calculators mentioned by everyone on this site (Scooby, iifym, etc.) I figured out my TDEE -20% and have been blissfully eating 1750 calories for over a month now. During that time I haven't lost much weight ( a little over 2 pounds), but I kept plugging away thinking it's going to catch up at some point.…

How many of you DON'T weigh yourselves?
I read in the book to put the scale away for at least 2 months. That is a really hard thing to do! It's been a week, and during that week I went on vacation. I'd like to see if I gained weight on vacation, which I'm sure I did. I need to get in the frame of mind that scale weight does not matter, and that my clothes…

Any advice for 1 armed let me ins
I tried them with a belt like he shows on the video but it kills my hands. I'm strong enough to do them, but my hands are getting red and raw from doing them with a belt. Any suggestions for what worked for you?

Now I understand why Romanian dead lifts are so hard for me!
Just got Body by You today, and am about halfway through the book. I'm previewing the exercises as I'm already on workout 3 of week 2 for the Yayog app. I struggle big time with the Romanian dead lifts and cannot get to 36 reps no matter how hard I try. the most I've ever completed in the 7.5 minutes is 21. In Body by You…

Anyone switch from NROL to You Are Your Own Gym?
I've been doing NROL4W and have completed the first 2 stages. I've seen great results, however the workouts take a LONG time! With having to share equipment, each workout takes me about 90 minutes with warmup, lifting, rests, HIIT, and cool down stretches. Right now that's okay because I'm a teacher and I don't work in the…

Finally participating...
I went to a party yesterday at a friend's house and they had a volleyball net up. I played for about an hour, and while I was by no means a star, I actually participated! I did pretty well and was able to run and keep up the whole time. I haven't played volleyball in about 10 years, so this is a huge deal! I love seeing my…

Losing and gaining the same 2 pounds
I am on workout 6A stage 1, so I've been at this for nearly a month. I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds over and over again. It's very frustrating. I know this doesn't seem like a lot, and I shouldn't freak out. At 174 pounds, though, and only 5'4"I still have a lot to lose to be at a healthy, comfortable weight.…

How to motivate your partner...
My husband and I started losing weight together. We were doing great... Now he doesn't seem to care nearly as much as I do. In the last 7 weeks, he's lost .2 pounds. He weighs 244 pounds and is only 5'7". His family has a history of obesity and his grandma died when she was 53 from a heart attack. I gave my husband the…

2 colds in the last 3 weeks...
I'm sick today with a head cold for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. I've been eating 1750 calories, including lots of fruits and veggies and lean protein. I take a multivitamin and a zinc tablet daily. I also drink plenty of water. I am a teacher and I am constantly exposed to germs. Normally I can fight them off fairly well.…

So mad at myself
Dug out my bodybugg that has been sitting in the drawer for almost 2 full years. Logged back in and re-activated my account. All my old info. was still saved with my weight and measurements. Now, mind you I've already lost more than 15 pounds since Jan. 1, but when I stopped using my bodybugg 2 years ago I was 17 pounds…

Finally got to ride my bike outside!
In Michigan today it is 43 degrees. The wind isn't too bad, though, so I rode my bike for the first time this year. It was great! Can't wait for spring!

How big is your...
waist? Hips? Thighs? I really don't know what goal measurements to shoot for in these areas. I'm 5'4" and currently 41% body fat. I'd like to be around 20% body fat when all is said and done. Anyone care to share their current measurements if you have reached your goals?

Can women with healthy body fat % give me stats?
Right now I'm at 41% body fat. I've been monitoring my measurements and truly care more about that than I do about my weight. Can someone who is at a healthy body weight, let me know their stats as far as measurements? I've lost 5 inches off my waist, but it's still 34.25. What is your waist measurement? Hips? Thighs?

For those of you who don't enjoy drinking water....
I was getting so bored of drinking only water! I started looking for alternatives with no calories and no artificial anything. At first, a coworker told me about Hint water, but when I looked it up online, I saw that it is ridiculously expensive. So, I kept searching. On Amazon, I found a water infuser ball. It only cost…

Odd NSV
Along with regularly exercising my body, I've been doing face/neck/chin exercises. I was looking up at something yesterday, and my husband says to me "Do that again." So I did, and he says, "Oh my God, I can see your neck muscles!" I've been noticing them for a while and can feel them, but for others to notice is a…
