Yawning during workout....
Why do you yawn during workouts? Or Am I the only one that this happens to? lol I constantly yawn during the shred when I do it. Is it because my body isnt in shape enough yet? Could I just not be getting enough oxygen into my system? I breath deeply and dont not hold my breath thru any parts of the work out. Could It be…

30DS twice a day??
Does anyone that does the Shred do it more than once a day? If so what levels do you do? Do you do it back to back or say once in the morning and once in the afternoon? I do not do the shred on the weekends so I was wondering if I did levels 1 and 2 each day during the week, if it would help me get some better results.. I…

Help please
I have been pretty mellow on this site for the last few months as I started working and maintaining all the stuff I do around the house. I really want to get back into the swing of things and drop more weight. I am down about 23lbs from when I joined here 250 days ago. I would love to have my ticker show like a 50lb loss…

Lightly active or sedentary??
I have my diary set for "lightly active" but I think I am burning way more calories that MFP thinks I am. I know only way to know for sure is to get a HRM.. I walk back and forth in the deli at work probably over 100 times a day..MFP gives me 1640 cals for being lightly active..should I keep it that way or reduce to…

Jealous...
So Part of it could just be a few bad days but I feel like I am seeing everyone have losses and NSV's and I am stuck where I am. I have been at this for 80+ days and I feel I am exactly the same as I was when I started.. I know I dont eat the best BY FAR..working on that...I don't do anything other than my 45min workout a…

weigh in days..
What day does everyone weigh in? I currently do Tuesdays but am contemplating changing to Saturday mornings. I never seem to stay on track on the weekends. Figured if I did Saturday then I could have the whole week of progress. If doing that helps me lose more weight/inches maybe ill try harder to stick to the plan on the…

Calories vs Empty Calories
I have been told and read that there is a difference but that was a long time ago. Is there really a difference? Here is why I ask. I want to work on keeping my total daily calories under the limit (that includes my exercise cals) so that I can step up the weight loss. I am only at 4lbs down and not that encouraged. I am…

Please share
I really want to start focusing more on my diet. I am down 4lbs and I love seeing the "1" starting the number on the scale instead of a "2".. I know I could eat a lot healthier than I do but I am limited in my spending right now until I find a job. What are some things that have helped in your journeys? Like what you…

walking plus shred..
I have heard lots about people who do the 30DS and other cardio. Do you think it has helped a lot in your weight loss journey? I am thinking of starting to go on walks in the evenings once my hubs gets home and after we eat dinner. Could also by "mommy's quiet time" lol. Who has had success with this? I know I am in no…

gross question..enter at own risk
Ok so how do you measure calories if you throw up during the day? I had cereal and then crackers and cheese today and a good 1/4 of all that came back up.....Again..SORRY too much info.. but Do I change how much I eat or something or just leave it? Did I still absorb those calories even if they didnt pass my stomach?
-
measure after work out?
Tomorrow is my measuring day and I know I am going to work out as well. Probably do two work outs since I am not doing anything today. (lack of motivation). Should I measure before I work out like first thing in the morning or should I do it after the workout? Or does it not really matter.

So hard to stay focused...
Why is it so hard for me to stay focused on doing this..I wish I was dropping weight like everyone I read about. even if it is a pound of even half a pound a week. Just would like to see constant numbers going down. I havent worn my size 14 jeans in a few weeks because its been too hot but today I was kinda chilly from all…

30DS level 1 and Level 2 Cal difference
I have been doing level 1 for about 10 days. Today I started level 2 and it was harder than level 1 and I was sweating a lot more. Do all 3 levels burn the same amount of calories? I didnt feel like it did. I felt I got a better burn from level 2. I wanted to log it and if it burns more I would like to list that. How would…

Little NSV for me
Today I feel just about amazing!! Been getting some more sleep at night and the shred and stretching I do everyday is getting tolerable. :) I can look in the mirror and flex my abs and just barely start to see where they should be. Andddd my tummy looks flatter when I do that. I also do not feel as bloated as I always used…

Has anyone noticed this?
I was thinking the other day that my pants are fitting differently. They have been baggie since a few days after i bought them but this was different. I put my pants (capris) on yesterday and normally I have to put them up to my belly button to keep them up. In other words I pretty much have a muffin top and if they go…

Less than a month til my 1st goal...
I am not sure I am going to make it. I wanted to be 190 by April 14th, My son's first birthday but it looks like that isnt going to happen. I dont seem to be losing weight. I started the 30 day shred. It was really hard for me at first so I have done it like 6 times in about 2 weeks. I need to start doing it everyday I…

Sore knees..doing something wrong??
I have done the 30 day shred about 6 times now and I thought it should be getting easier but as it turns out its not. My knees are sore when I do the cardio(jumping jacks, jump rope, etc) and just in general too. Sometimes when I just sit down I can feel it in my knees even when I am not working out. Am I doing something…

Ok with scale not moving??
As a lot of you know I posted about how I gained 3lbs and was not sure why. Well I have yet to lose those 3lbs. I havent been eating really well<--working on that. I had a question tho....The Scale says I am 203lbs. I am 5'3.. I know I am gaining muscle. Am I always going to be in the 200lbs even if I am "skinnier"? I dont…

Carbonated drinks...
Which ones taste good and are on average pretty cheap? Even if its something I have to make(i.e. crystal light and tonic or whatever) I have tried flavored seltzer and did not like it. I think one of the reasons I like soda is because of the carbonation, helps get the gas bubbles out.

3lb gain???? Seriously
This is why i DISLIKE exercising..Everytime I start doing anything to lose weight, i gain 3-5lbs in the first week or 2 so I get mad and quit. I dont understand how people can say oh i lost 7(guestimated number)lbs the first week or 2 when all I do is gain. I am following the calorie intake and staying as close as…

Not sure if this should be under this Post or under…

30 day shred question
With the risk of sounding stupid lol...is the 30 day shred hard? I have read there are 3 levels. What exactly does it entail? How long are the workouts? Do you really see results in 30 days? I am so out of shape its not even funny. I just want to know if you guys think it is something I could do or if I should try…

Little NSV!
I actually have one of these. :happy: Im pretty excited about it. I waited a few days before posting to make sure it stayed. lol I just bought a pair of size 14 capris, maybe 2-3 weeks ago. They are stretch (1% spandex) so that helps but last week I actually had to wash them and DRY them to get them to fit!!!! I NEVER wash…

Calories from Exercise
Are you supposed to add these to what you eat during the day?? I have been basing what I eat on total calories I have left that include the ones i burn from exercising..I have only lost 2lbs barely..Should I base my intake on the limit for the day not including the exercise calories? If that all makes sense

One day is all it takes........
Yesterday morning I got on the scale and saw something i hadnt seen in a while..199.5lbs.. I was super excited but then I was stupid and thought I could eat anything...I really dont like the weekends because my hubby is home and he isnt doing this with me so he eats whatever and I get a notion in my mind that I can do it…
