What's hard for me might not be hard for you. But the ones that I've done recently that kick my butt are: - STS Plyo legs - the ones in between the regular weighted legs - Anything with Bootcamp. If I want a quick one I like the 4DS (30min w/warmup) - Drill Max Cardio premix - you would have...

I only have a 50 calorie difference between the RMR and BMR calculators. Since I 'pad' the RMR with 50 calories or so I end up about the same. As noted, I wouldn't expect a huge difference.

I use the RMR for my BEFORE workout calories. Everything I put into my mouth. I then aim for a 1000 caloric deficit (I got some good advice on here in another thread and I read it later online). Sometimes over that but not by too much consistently. This is where the GWF comes in handy. It...

Weight loss... Priceless lol

I don't dip below my RMR. So if you're eating 1200 that's too low. You should up to at least 1360. You could THEORETICALLY go as high as 2270 (you clicked female right?). But you don't want to maintain so you need to be LOWER than this to lose. :cool:

I use this to estimate my RMR http://www.shapeup.org/interactive/rmr1.php I need to recalculate it as I lose weight. I use this as my absolute minimum. There are BMR calculators as well. Here's a link to one of those http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ There's info about...

I TOTALLY understand your frustration. I've struggled with this my entire life. However I've had some recent success in losing weight. I was already mostly raw vegan and track my calories/macros so I really couldn't do much on my diet. (I thought) It's been the same since Sept 08 and I had...

lol I saw the line that said listen as far back as the 1960's and stopped there :p 1957 Too Much... Elvis Presley

Hah! it doesn't go back far enough in years for me :p

Hi Stephanie, I'm not Melanie but I am a pharmacist. My personal opinion of Alli (the OTC version of Xenical) is that it is no substitute for clean eating and exercise. It's basically a fat binder. And it can have some nasty side effects. Personally I LIKE fat in my diet. (I don't do well...

This is what I suspected when I looked into the Wii Fit. I have a Wii and the Wii sports are fun. Especially the training modes (Boxing is my favorite). But for cardio I'll stick to my DVDs. We mostly use the Wii for Rock Band and Guitar Hero :D Does the EA Sports version require the...

For me a calorie is not a calorie. I have to minimize my grains/carbs and I've eliminated almost all processed foods. I have to eat clean or I will not lose weight. I've only recently started losing again once I understood I HAVE to eat above my BMR. And like already posted - I don't do well...

Tentative Results I've had mine for not quite a week. So these are very early and tentative results. But I'm pretty surprised by them. Especially since I have a really, really hard time losing weight. Initially I did everything the same for a few days. No loss. I was surprised by how many...

I adjusted my MET levels on the vigorous. I did it a few times and it just changes the graphs and totals for that. It doesn't change the data. So if you don't like it you can just change it again. I moved mine to 5.9 from the standard 6.0 It seems to agree more with my perceived exertion...

I wear short to 3/4 length sleeves. It doesn't really show under my clothes that are a bit looser and have a pattern. I notice an indentation where the band is but that could just be my fat arm. I wish it was more of a nude color instead of black (at least the band). No one at work has asked...

I've been tracking for quite awhile. I have a PDA with a tracking program. I also eat most everything homemade. I can also input custom items from the nutrition labels. I then just add the macros into the GWF site as a 'custom' item. It works for my purposes. The GWF site also lets you...

Thanks for the info. My weekends are much more active. I'm in a 1200-1400 calorie deficit. I expect that will drop considerably during the work week (desk job). I was shocked that I burned over 3000 calories today. That was with a Turbo jam workout, usual chores and errands and a 2mile+...

I use both the hemp seeds and the hemp protein powder. I refer to the hemp powder as my 'dirt'. I can only take it in my green smoothies. Otherwise, not so much :p I'm also plant based and not so sure on the protein controversy. I eat a LOT of leafy greens which are a good source of protein...

I've just started wearing mine. I'm a bit befuddled by the results. I always figured weight lifting was a vigorous activity. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but my STS workout today (Meso 3 wk 4 Back/Chest) showed only as 35 minutes of MODERATE activity. The graph showed calories burned per...

Same for me. I'm lifting to failure and at times can barely squeak out that last rep. But I'm just not getting the DOMS in the upper body. At least through week 3 (LOVE LOVE that they are only 6 reps! :D ) I'm also noticing a difference between sides on the heavy phase. I use dumbbells...
