Newbie needs help!
Im going to start my first day today. Do I do set 1 of each workout then move to set 2 of each workout? Or do I complete all sets for the first workout then 2nd & so on? Also, do I alternate workout A with B or do I wait to move on to workout B? (Im using the mobile app to track my workouts). I watch the video over & over…

Can I do this with freeweights?
I am so excited to start SL5x5 next week (monday), but I might not be able to start with all the equipment. In fact, I dont have anything but freeweights. I plan on going yardsaling & buying whatever I can find, but in case I have no luck, I have to make due with the freeweights.

Which workout will yield quickest results? Help!!
I was on-a-roll with my weightloss from Nov 2011 thru May 2012. I was jogging and lifting weights at gym. Needless to say, I feel like a roll now since I stopped working out in June and had too much fun over summer. I want to get back on my weightloss roll, but Im more interested in losing inches (and toning up). I no…

Does anyone have recommendation on a website to use to figure out how much protein, carbs, sugar, fats, etc. (not calories) I should be striving for on a daily basis?

Measuring waist...belly button or crease?
Ive researched how to measure waist because I have a high waistline and my belly button is lower, and so I dont know which to use. Ive been measuring the widest part, which is where belly button is (I have that post partum diastis recti pooch). Should I be measuring at crease when I bend? This is the smallest part of my…

Tankini or Bikini?
Ive lost 20+ lbs and am much more comfortable in my skin, but I still see myself in the mirror as the 190 lb person. This weekend I broke out of my comfort zone and sported a bikini while I sunbathed in my own backyard. I felt hideous, but my kids and hubby were complimenting me all day on how much "better" I look & they…

Did you increase cals since started running? If so...
Did you still lose weight? I just started running...@2 miles 5x wk. I calculated BMR (1538) & TDEE (~2500) & apparently wasnt eating enough. So I increased from 1200 to 1600 (yesterday), plus eat back burned. Now I feel stuffed & Im SO afraid of gaining back what Ive lost. Im stuck at 170 GW 125 - 135 (we'll see)

BMR = 1539 TDEE = 2385 So I should be netting 1539 cals or grossing ~ 2000 cals to lose weight??

Is your HRM cals burned higher than MFP database info?
Mine is and I am wondering if thats right. I would think its more accurate than an "average" In the database.

I just bought a NB HRT Fit. Why does it have a chronograph AND a calorie chronograph? What would I use the chronograph for?

When to increase calories?
I know I will eventually need to bump up the calories to continue losing weight. Right now 1200 is still working for me. How will I know when to increase it? Is it at a certain weight?

Has anyone used Nike + Sensor?
I just ordered the sensor since its only $19 (not much to lose if I end up hating it) and its built into my iphone already. Might as well use it to better track the running Ive been doing. Has anyone used it & if so, how did you like it?

How much is too much?
Exercise that is. I want to lose 30lbs in 12 weeks...but dont want to be flabby. How much strength training should I do (min per day & times per week) vs Cardio (I like to run/walk treadmill)??? I know losing weight quickly can equate to loose skin & I want to avoid that. 33 yrs old SW 190 CW 170 GW 125

Egg yolks or No yolks on 17dd?
So I know the book says its ok to have the yolks, but since were all counting the calories too, do you eat the yolks or not? It packs on the calories and sky rockets the cholesteral meter.

Weight loss, Juicing and the high sugar & carbs
I've been replacing 1-2 meals/day with fresh veggie/fruit juices made with a juicer. I notice the carbs and sugars are very high, and although I am not diabetic, it's concerning me. I know the sugars are natural and I am working out. Will the sugars catch up with me and inhibit my weight loss plan? All this is so…

Today is my very first day ever following this plan
I am excited to start this plan and I refuse to call it a diet. I just had surgery on my wrist yesterday so my exercise will be limited to mainly walking. And cooking simple meals is my only option. Let cycle one, day one begin! :)

Dazed & Confused on Calories consumed & burned
:noway: I am on a 1200 calorie a day restriction by MFP in order to reach my weight loss goal. I also workout each day and burn about 500 calories. The Calories Remaining jumps up to make up for the calories burned, but now I feel like I am eating too much to reach those calories, and I feel like there is no way that this…
