Restarting Insanity!
So I have really let myself go the past month or so and I haven't been logging or exercising and I have gained back some weight, from about 124 to 129 which is a lot for my 5'3 frame. I've decided to restart the insanity program so I can be ready for when I go to the beach in august and not feel awful about myself in a…

Insanity or JM Rotation?
I just did my first week of insanity and I like it enough and the fact it is supposed to bring results in 60 days. I am going on a beach vacation at the end of july so I am on target to finish insanity right around there. I am debating between continuting on with insanity or doing a Jillian Michaels Banish fat boost…

Any other hardcore jillian michaels fans out there?
Haha I just found this workout plan online its an adaptation of Jillian's 30 day slimdown. I'm going to do it starting tomorrow except I'll be swapping the yoga meltdown with turbofire workouts and the same with the rest days. Here's the link http://www.blackandi.com/2010/03/another-jillian-rotation-slim-downsome-more/

I think I am undereating?
So I think the reason I am not really losing weight is that I am undereating. I aim for 12-1400 calories a day and I burn another 200-400 through exercise. My BMR is about 1650. I thought upping my calories might help but I'm scarerd to gain weight? I was thinking of maybe taking a few days off from diet/exercise to have…

Dukan Diet, thinking of trying it?
I just bought the dukan diet book, and considering I eat a lot of protein and things anyway, it doesn't seem like it would be that tough a diet for me to follow anyway. At 5'3 and 125lbs I've been trying for a long time to get to my goal of 107. I was wondering if anyone has tried it, how well it worked, and any other info…

I'm making this board to track my progress of going through the 30 day shred along with following the turbofire schedule for a month. I just finished day 2 of this and I'm feeing good. I'm also eating about 1400 calories a…

P90x or TurboFire for weight loss?
I did the first day of P90X Lean today, but after researching it a little bit more it does not seem like as much of a weight loss program as I thought. I want to lose 20lbs about, getting down to around 110lbs at 5'3 from 125 that I'm at currently. I don't care so much about getting extremely muscular as I do about getting…

Any shorties (I'm 5'3 haha)out there with goals under 120?
Hey I'm at 124.5 and hoping to reach 105 some day haha and I was wondering if there were any other people out there with lower goal weights. A lot of the people at my height that I've talked to have goals in the 120-130 zone, so I just thought it would be cool to have someone to talk to that has a goal similar to mine :)

I just found a ton of great reviews for jillian micheals ripped in 30 dvd so I wanted to start it november 1st. Anyone care to join me?

Mini-goals and how you plan to reward yourself!
Hey everybody, I just got the idea to post a board about minigoals you want to meet and what you want to do to reward yourself when you hit each one. Just a little way to visualize a reward :) Start by posting your current weight, any minigoals you have, your final goal weight, and how you plan to reward yourself each step…

A little late to the party haha but here's my new year diet
So I've been stuck at 125lbs for so long since I've gotten used to being this size, and I've had an extra bad week for dieting and exercisng (read none haha). I'm going to do 1400 calories a day and alternate between JM's Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones six days a week. Going to make myself do this…

Just found a great website and wanted to share it.
I was wondering how I would look if I lost 10 pounds or if I dropped a size and I came across this site on google. Its called my body gallery and it shows pictures of women that are all sizes and heights (you can search for pics of people that are different heights/weights/sizes etc). I'm guilty of judging my body too much…

Not losing any weight?
I just started back on myfitnesspal after a few months of stress at school in july and I've been sticking to my 1200 calories and exercising about 45-60 minutes a day (switching between various jillian michaels dvds) and I haven't noticed any change in the scale. Its been almost 3 weeks and I've been 125lbs since i…

Can someone explain calorie shifting to me?
I posted another board a little while ago and someone mentioned calorie shifting when I mentioned I wasn't losing any weight doing 1200 calories and 45-60 minutes of exercise. I'm 5'3 and female so myfitnesspal has me set at 1200 calories and I don't eat back exercise calories because I'm usually full after my 1200. I get…

30 day slimdown or alternate other DVDs?
I just got jillian michaels banish fat, boost metabolism and no more trouble zones. I've been alternating between them daily fora week and today I found the 30 day slimdown rotation. I have the 30 day shred too but I was hesitant to try because I'm not sure if I'll get better results doing the slimdown instead of my curren…

30 day shred and cardio?
I was wondering if it would be too much to join the 30 day shred with cardio? I was going to do 30-60 minutes of cardio in the morning and the 30 day shred when I get home later in the afternoon. My calories are at 1200 and I am 5'3 and 130lbs looking to lose 15-20. Would it be too much exercise?

Am I eating enough calories?
I try and eat around 1200 calories a day and then I burn off 100-200 depending on how long I exercise. I'm still a teenager so I was wondering if I was eating enough or if I would lose weight faster if I ate more?

Lean cuisines and other frozen "low calorie" food.
I've recently started eating a lean cuisine instead of a meal once a day or for a snack, and I was wondering if they really are healthy or if they are bad because of preservatives or something in them. I find them an easy way to eat a decent sized meal with calories I can track on days I don't have time to cook. Is it bad…
