Homemade soup
I make my own soup from scratch. When I make a veggie soup logging is easy (add ingredients, serving etc) but when I make chicken soup I use a whole chicken to make the broth and add veggies etc. When I use the recipe maker one serving comes out at over 500 calories ... that can't be right ... can it?! Today I'm using a…

First identifiable NSV

Anyway, I was looking through pictures and found some of my 24th birthday party (8 years ago this year) and I was wearing those jeans, my favourites and I thought - you know what, I'm going to try these on. The last time…

Level 1 day 1 complete ... however ... I use a heart rate monitor and I've only burned 189 calories. I suppose because it's only 20 minutes plus warm up and cool down this isn't bad. Of those of you who have done / are doing 30DS who uses a HRM and how many calories do you burn? I started working out seriously on the 3rd…

30 Day Shred - Level 1
I found level 1 on You Tube and gave it a try tonight (have bought her collection DVD on Amazon but not arrived yet) as was a bit anxious from reading others saying it killed them etc. but like you I found it quite do-able. I definitely need to up my weights but ... maybe it's more about the toning so not necessarily about…

P90X - log?
Hello All P90X people - what do you log your exercises as or do you use heart rate monitors with calorie calculators? My husband is doing P90X and we're curious about what he would log it as. Thanks - keep bringing it! :D

Protein

Food / Exercise
Hello All Just looking for some guidance - should I be eating all my calories and then exercise so I'm below on my calorie total? Or should I aim to be at zero calories taking into account how many calories I've gained from exercising?! If that makes any sense!!! Also, I do a Kettlebell workout (Kettlenetics) and it's the…
