I agree, but luckily for a tape you can go easy if you want. One thing about the power 90 is the power yoga, that is a pain in the arse literally. I could barely get through it. That and both tapes do push ups, I still have yet to figure out how to unlock my elbows. But even with all those hindrances they still work so thats what I love about them!
I was asking around about calories and everyone says to try and stay about 1400 so you can go down to 1200 when you hit platuaes. I am just under 1200 now and I don't feel hungry. I decided I might up the calories once I start excersising and once I see a real loss. Like when I see the 170's. I highly doubt that I can put myself in starvation mode by eating 1200 calories. I barely lift a finger. haha
AND, I am not even truly sure my start weight was right LOL According to the doctors office 2 weeks ago I weighed in at 194, clothed. But I dont trust their scale, I use my digital one at home, theirs is really old and I am always clothed LOL And my scale is always about 10 lbs lighter. Heck at least it makes me feel better
So my guess is around 185 based on my last home weigh in not to long ago. One thing I do know for sure is I havent seen under 180 since I found out I gained this weight (no scale while we moved) So if it dips to 179, I will know its working, maybe I am crazy but thats what I am doing lol.
Thats funny my original goal was 145 and I went down instead of up. In all honesty if I go down to 135 my mother will probably institutionalize me if I go and visit her. She freaks out when I drop to 155. Luckily we live in another state (not saying I dont love my mother LOL) so those mind games dont have as much effect on me. And in all honesty I would be totally happy at 145. But heck I am motivated so I decided to make the goal for me not my mother. LOL
