Hi ladies, Do you feel bloated and gain weight during ovulation time? This is my first month of tracking my weight and watching everything so closely. As per my period calendar, today is my ovulation day. I woke up 1 lb heavier and I feel terribly bloated, even though I ate well last night. I have been drinking lots of…

Calories burned in Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
I am 5'2" and weight 154.2 pounds. I don't have a HRM. How should I log Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and how many calories should I expect to burn? I would rather do a conservative estimate. I looked at Aerobics High Impact and it says for 50 mins, I would burn about 450 calories. Is that too low for this DVD? I've heard…

The Biggest Loser- Power Walk + Ripped in 30
Hello! I think I need some extra cardio to go with Ripped in 30. I sweat buckets doing Ripped, but I want faster, better results. I've read in the Message Boards that lots of people combined Shred/Ripped with 15-20 mins of cardio. Since I don't have a gym membership (had 1 yr membership once and don't remember going more…

JM 6 week 6 pack question
Hello, I did Level 1 of 6 Week 6 Pack yesterday, even though I'm working out using Ripped in 30 currently. So, my question is, I woke up today with my back really sore. My abs are hardly sore. Does your back hurt as well? Or did I do the postures all wrong? It's funny that a "6 pack" DVD would make my back hurt... I did…

Estimating the number of calories for food without nutrition
We do a lot of Indian cooking at home. A lot of ingredients don't come with Nutrition Information on the bag/jar. The MFP Database usually has some similar food matches and I usually go with those. I also utilize the Recipe Builder to manually add ingredients and then come up with calories per serving. However, on days…

Coworker & her comment
My cube-mate at work is shorter & fatter than me. She eats anything that catches her fancy. We went clothes shopping yesterday. She must have selected around 10 skirts & tops to try on. Nothing fitted her, because of her tummy. She came out of the fitting room pretty dejected & vowed to eat healthier & get fitter. Next, we…

Hello all! I am currently on Day 13 of JM's 30 Day Shred. I was planning on starting BFBM and NMTZ last weekend, but chickened out due to various factors (too long, not enough time on hand, too difficult..lol). Anyway, do you guys think I should finish 30 Day Shred before attempting these new workout DVDs, since they're so…

HAALP! Gaining weight after losing some initially :(
Hello all, I started my MFP program last weekend. Initially, I lost almost a pound a day- I think most of it was water weight. But since the last two days, I've been gaining 1 lb every day. :( I started at 161 lbs and went down all the way to 155.4. Yesterday, I was 156.2. Today, I am 157.4. I've been under or near my…

Level 2- 30 Day Shred
After doing Level 1 for 5 days, I moved on to Level 2 today- out of sheer boredom. Sweat was POURING down while I did Level 2 exercises. I had to stop thrice- once for a thigh cramp, 2nd because I was plain breathless, 3rd because I really had to drink water! I haven't really mastered Level 1. I just got tired of doing…

I want to lose about 30 lbs. I have a daily calorie limit of 1200 calories. After reading some posts here, I ordered the 30 day…
