What has worked for you?
Hi all! I'm curious to see what has worked for others with hypothyroidism as far as weight loss/fat loss goes. I am not really interested in trying paleo just yet but I know that it has worked for a lot of people! A little about me. I am hypothyroid and hashi's and autoimmune has been ruled out. I'm almost 30 I'm on armour…

Fitbit Charge HR help
i have had my Fitbit charge HR for about 2 weeks now. So far, so good and everything is synced with MFP. My only question is if my calories burned during exercise is automatically synced in the "Fitbit calorie adjustment " in my diary under cardio exercise. For example, tonight I played in a basketball game. Before it…

eating back calories
Hey all! I have the charge HR and so far I'm really liking it! Obviously it tracks calories burned through the day then I put it in "exercise mode" when I workout after work. Prior to this I used an HRM for exercise only and would eat back what I burned (or close to it). For those who have the charge HR, do you eat back…

12 Week Lean Body Trainer
Hey everyone! I was wondering if anybody on here is doing Lee Labrada's 12 week Lean Body Trainer! I have done it before, halfheartedly and didn't finish it. NOW I am focused and ready to go wholeheartedly and finish the 12 weeks! If anyone is doing it feel free to add me so we can support each other! If you are interested…

SO tired
Hey all! My name is Kayli, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 3 years ago and I'm on 75mcg of Levothyroxine! I was wondering if any of you with hypo have ever had issues with being really tired. The past 2 months or so I have been way more tired than usual. I work swing shift so I get off at 11:30pm, get home around…

More than a TSH Test
Over the past few days I have done more and more research about hypothyroidism because I have been so symptomatic but my levels are "normal." Those levels are my TSH levels but I really think I need to get my T3 levels tested. I am about 99% sure that my T3 levels have been low for the past 3 or so years since I have been…

Phase 3 Carb Cycling
I just started the "carb cycling" portion of the meal plan and of course I'm not perfect but I AM trying! As far as "carbs" go, I know she means the starchy carbs and not veggie carbs that she wants limited. In the calculator on the bottom of the workouts…

Looking ahead.
Hey ladies! So I know it's a bit premature for us on Phase 2 but are any of you thinking about what you are going to do after Live Fit?? I like Live Fit and I want to do it again but I think I am going to try another trainer in between. I have been looking at Lee Labrada's Lean Body Trainer the link is here…

Phase 3
Hey ladies! I have been thinking the last couple days about the Biggest Loser contest I entered at my gym. After today I have 1 week left in Phase 2 but I think I'm going to jump to phase 3. I know I have definitely put on some muscle and I have definitely gotten stronger. Phase 3 is about shedding the fat and I think I…

Week 7&8
Hey ladies! How has week 7 been treating you so far? Those double lunges are HARD! I thought it was just a piece of cake but I had to drop weight from the "normal" lunges lol. I am sore from yesterday so I know that is a good thing! Also, as far as the calories how have you done so far? I am trying to get as close as I can…

Help Please :o]
Hey ladies! I have a question that may be silly but I want to do this right. On seated and standing calf raises along with the leg extensions it says "3 sets of x reps, last set to failure". Does this mean 2 sets of x reps and the 3rd set is failure or is it 3 sets and there is a 4th set that is failure?!

Single Leg Squats
I am going to sound extremely ridiculous right now but I was legitimately mad when I was doing the single leg squats lol! I think it's cause I'm not that great at them (which I know will improve over time). I ended up using the smith machine so I could get as low as I needed to because when I had the barbell I just wasn't…

BCAA
Hey ladies! Does anyone know much about BCAA's? I got the supplement pack suggested by the program but I have *heard* that the powder that you mix with water absorbs better. If you know any and have any suggestions please educate me! :smile:

This may be a stupid question...
Hey ladies! So this may be a stupid question! I noticed on one of the leg days we are doing walking barbell lunges and it's 20 reps opposed to the 10 we have been doing. Is that 20 total (so 10 each leg) or 20 each leg? I would assume that it would specify if it was each leg but not sure. What do you ladies think??
-
I thought I'd share some ideas!
Hey ladies! So I didn't have a clean day today but that doesn't ruin tomorrow and the Biggest Loser contest starts at my gym Wed. so that means I have to SERIOUSLY buckle down! Not to say that I won't have a treat once a week but I want to limit it to once a week! Anyway, I have a little tip for everyone that may make…

Week 3
I did my first leg workout of week 3 and OMG my glutes and hammys will be feeling it! I had my boyfriend use my basketball to massage out my hamstrings (I don't have a foam roller) so hopefully that helps! I am LOVING the pain though, I know I worked hard! Also, I made the Lemon protein bars from her recipes and they are…

Wide Stance Squats
Hey ladies! I had legs today and I have been noticing (even before I started the program) that when I do squats it's really hard for me to keep my back up straight, I tend to lean foward no matter what weight I use. I think I'm going to do the Smith Machine to get my form down and so I use my legs and just don't bend…

Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein
Hi MFPers! I am looking at getting "Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey" protein powder. Has anybody tried this?? I googled "Best whey protein powders" and this was #1 per Bodybuilding.com but I'd like some personal opinions (good or bad) if anybody can offer any! Thanks! :smile:

Introducing myself
Hi! My name is Kayli, I just signed up with planet fitness yesterday. The gym that I had been a member at for a long time closed down permanently (shady business with the initial owners). I was a little apprehensive yesterday because I am really getting back into lifting and PF doesn't have a lot of free weights. However,…

Weight training help Please!
Hey MFPers, I have a weight training/calorie question. I know as far as lifting 15-20 reps is key to burn fat and then cardio. I plan on lifting full body 3x/week (I have a good routine) and then cardio (HIIT) on non lifting days. At my gym you get 2 free training sessions in your first month and then 1 free each month…

The Dumbest Question You've Been Asked
I am not sure if this has been a topic before and I didn't look lol BUT what is the dumbest question you've been asked!? For me, it was always (and sometimes still) is "can you dunk?!" I DO play basketball but He** NO I can NOT dunk!! I realize that I am 6'0"-6'1" but really?? Most of the women that CAN dunk are MAAAYBE…

Calorie Intake
I know that this has been posted on here before but I haven't found a straight answer (it's entirely possible I didn't look hard enough). What is your calorie deficit? So far mine is at 1lb loss/week (so 500). I know the author discourages this and encourages more calories, is it a necessity to change it?? I definitely…

Zig-Zag help please!
This may be a little premature but I am a little frustrated. This is my 3rd week of zig-zagging but it's my 2nd week of VERY little loss. The first week I lost 1.2 lbs which I was thrilled with, the next week was .4 and today was .2. I'm not going to give up, there's no way, I think I may just need some guidance/help. I…

Nike's Big Butts
I didn't know that Nike did some women's ads but I came across some and I think they are awesome! I like this one the best...probably because I have a big butt that seriously won't ever go away! It doesn't bother me, I have always had it (and everyone else on my Dad's side of the family) and always will! I have always said…
-
For Those who do or have Zig-Zagged
So I haven't seen much movement at all lately. I'm not close to my goal or anything like that. Has anybody zig-zagged in general without being on a plateau? I know a lot of people have started to do that because of a plateau, I was just curious if anyone had done it before they ever hit a plateau.

What is your reward for your "ultimate goal"?
Just curious. I see a lot of people with mini goals (new jeans, HRM, tattoos etc). What is your reward for hitting your ultimate goal?? Mine is a belly button piercing haha. Kind of silly I know! I certainly wont be walking around shirtless...not really my thing BUT I plan on looking good in a 2 piece!
