I'm Baaaack!
So I tried to stay on my fitness plan without the assistance of MFP and wow, it did not go well! As of this am, I have gained back 10lbs and am SO angry at myself! I turned 50 in January and do NOT want all the 30lbs that I lost while using MFP as a tool to creep back on! I realize now how it happens to people who lose…

I'm Back and Need Support!
So, I thought that I could stay on my healthy lifestyle without MFP, without logging in my food/workouts and reading all the supportive info that people post here, but I was WRONG! I have been gone for a few months and even though I have kept up with my workouts and ran my 1st 5k (31.00 minutes, not too bad), I gained more…

Chalene Extreme Not Seeing Much Difference
First let me say that I love Chalene's workouts! I am currently using her Turbo Jam dvds and am on Round 3 of her Chalene Extreme. That means that I have been doing this strength training program for about almost 30 weeks and although I have increased my weights as I have gone along, I am not seeing any significant muscle…

Gained 3 lbs on vacation!!
OK..just got back from vacation...although I worked out with my exercise dvds and hiked, biked and ran, I gained 3 lbs! I knew that drinking wine every night and indulging in some sweets and not watching my portions as carefully might cause me to gain, despite my workouts, but 3 lbs on my 5 ft 1in body is a lot! I didn't…

New Tae Bo DVD
I just bought Billy Blank's newest (at least I think it is) Tae Bo dvd, Cardio Inferno and did it yesterday. I have worked out with Billy off and on for many years, but I think this one might be my new favorite. I don't own a HRM yet, so have no idea how many calories I burned, but I know I got a great workout! So, for…

Hungry Horrors
I need motivation/suggestions to get back on track! I lost 30lbs last year and I am terrified that I will gain it back! I have worked so hard and come so far, but I can totally understand how people do gain the weight back..I have not been logging in my food or exercise for awhile now, but was still maintaining and even…

Chalean Extreme
I just got my Chalene Extreme DVDs in the mail yesterday and was so excited..I have been wanting to try it for a long time, but could not afford it. Someone suggested Ebay, so I was able to purchase it for much less..It said "new" and does appear to be, but you do get what you pay for, as it did not include the Muscle…

1200 Calories
On the day/days I can't workout, I need to stay at 1200 calories, but I am having a very tough time doing that. I seem to be more hungry on those days, if I try not to snack between meals. If I snack, I go over, as it is hard to keep each meal at 300 cals. (eg. my oatmeal-1/2 cup oats, T honey, T almonds, 1 c skim milk and…

Calories Burned?
How do you calculate calories burned when doing cardio/circuit training (I use a variety of dvds), when you don't have a heart rate monitor or one of those other monitors that calculate calories burned? I have been guessing and have been able to find some approx. calories burned for some of the dvds on the internet. I have…
